If there’s anyone who’d build a Prometheus compatible ingestion and query engine, I thought it’d been Cloudflare consider the usage.
But I guess Tesla got there first.

To this day, I still don’t understand why a lot of English books’ information density is so low.

Like you need to repeat a point a 100 times in 100 different ways.
If most books just stick to a point and move on, pages probably can be reduced < 1/10.

The Worst Generation We owe a debt of gratitude to the Greatest Generation, which beat back authoritarianism around the globe. But today's Republican Party has made a mockery of that legacy.

Winston Churchill said of the Battle of Britain pilots, “Never was so much owed to so few.” To these cowardly Republicans, we can only say, “Never was so few to blame for so much.”

Bare metal is not the worst when you know what you're doing.
The speed and performance is just unparalleled.

There's also some interesting differences between the current generations vs previous generations of Americans.

Social improvements like free lunch, health care might not be as much of a divided topic for folks that lived around the early half of 1900s.

To be frank, Americans like to think they're unique. They're _not_ that unique.

That thinking is more of the result of how the recent generations were brought up to think, and is overly skewed towards it. Why? I'm not sure.
Americans a couple of generations ago didn't seem to be like that.

And I agree on the statement that folks care more about their rights as an individuals than they do about the future of the country.
That's actually a somewhat common thing in developing countries, but that's the result, not the cause. Obviously oversimplification, but there's also truth in it.

US regions are actually not as unique as you might think.

Like I said, I’ve grown up overseas in multiple cultures, and now I’m in the US. There are a lot of similar patterns I recognizes here as well.
Sure, there’s some uniqueness of Americans but I don’t see that as enough of a differentiator.

I thought it might be because the country is big, because EU countries and Japan are generally quite small compared to the US.

But then China has some regional cultures though still not crazy divided like the US. Can’t say the general public’s education level is high there as well.

As someone who grew up overseas in Asia, there is a fundamental difference with Americans.

The interesting part is, there’s very little “we” but a lot of “us” in convos.

Like Californians vs Texans, where it’s more focused on states than the country itself. Also just education in general.

@github.com hey, I think your docs are down.
not sure if you're aware since it has been like this for the last 30m+.

The peek of Japanese software mediocrity.

Instead of figuring out a way to handle increased website load, create a queue for checkout with over 1h wait time.

Being on a team that is moving fast and getting shit done is one of the best feelings in the world.

As my coworker @gsiener.bsky.social says... it's not "happy engineers ship fast"; it's that engineers who ship fast ARE HAPPY ENGINEERS.

It's not the whole story, but it's a lot of it. ☺️

The most persistent rookie manager problem I've encountered is the belief that managers are there to make their teams happy.

That is not the job.

Their job is to build highly functional teams that move the business forward. People on these teams are usually happy, but that's a trailing indicator.

From one of my favorite posts of all time:

"It is impossible to foster a psychologically safe culture if persistent underperformance goes unaddressed. Psychologically safe culture is not centered around being nice, it is centered around being fair"

落ちるとこまで落ちたかな、と思いきや、さらに落ちれるから、トランプのゴミっぷりに脱帽やわ。

Most comments can be summarized as “US car sucks, who in their sane mind would buy that shit” in a polite way.

1. I’m surprised Reddit has JP presence
2. Even Japanese people who generally admire US seems to be pissed with US, mainly the orange trash now

Takes quite some effort to achieve that level of annoyance.

Ah fuck, should’ve shorted Tesla.
Always missed the timing.

Damn, elgot fells so much more snappier and just generally well integrated with emacs.

nixd packages actually will even list the package versions too. that's really nice

The Budapest Memorandum sure looks like a piece of toilet paper right now.

The main takeaway for the shitshow at the White House recently is basically, no one should trust US' commitment to any future memorandum.

You just can't take someone's word for NOT doing something, you still need to have the power for deterance.

Meaning generally speaking a weaker alliance overall

Cool, then probably not a problem for me.
I don’t deal with that ecosystem much anyways.

Seems mainly a JavaScript thing

Why do you need to run both when there’s flycheck or flymake?

Feel like it’s time to move from lsp-mode to elgot now that elgot is merged into core Emacs.

I turn off most of lsp-mode’s features anyways

AI is like a never ending goose chase.

Such a hilariously stupid comment.

Many systems in this era handle more transactions than the US voting system needs in less than an hour.

There's a saying, A class players attract A class players.
B class attract C class.

We can skip the definition of what exactly "class" means but it definitely awfully look like the latter.

From Ukraine's perspective, it's still probably a good deal if US can tell Russia to f off and they get the land back.

Anything after that is technically renegotiable.
