I was stuck on QBASIC early 90’s. Read all the C++ and assembler books in the library. Buying a compiler was extraordinary expensive (around 4000 dollars in today’s money). So, was left to build myself an assembler and super simple compiler. Good times.

Crowd control, psyops, trend analysis. EU is quickly becoming authoritarian and the change is instigated by the sitting parties.

Because we want to run more than just Home Assistant on the same OS? Because traditionally OS and application layers were separated? Because we trust mature Linux distros more when it comes to LTS and security patches? Because we already know our way around Debian/Ubuntu/Nix/etc.?

Not exactly. It’s not that I can’t see the colors, I just need more contrast to pick up red or green. A grayish green looks the same as plain gray to me. A small bright green dot? Might as well be gray or brown. But a large, solid area of bright green or red? No problem at all.

Their key mistake.

Early research always had 1.0% in its confidence intervals, which is most likely the right IFR during the first phases.

The 0.1%-0.2% was just bad science, taking medians over countries with lagging statistics reports.

Where did you find 3.4%? Isn’t that an upper bound?

People paid him for such nonsense?

Totally agree. Observability is just another dataset and should be modeled, managed and governed as other datasets. Data quality controls should be equal or of higher standard than regular data sets.

Monitoring, dashboarding and alerting should leverage other BI-class tooling.

The title should be: “Critical flaw in title causes HN readers to click on mostly irrelevant article.”
