Ultimately one side invaded another and chose violence instead of diplomacy as you pointed out in your original comment. This party has a history of such violence. Any other extrapolations are mostly moot and pointless

Much of what I have personally (anecdotally) seen around proximate cause seem to point to Russian sabotage. I find arguments like this to be pointless though as we will all have our pet theories and research we want to believe as we are not

This both sides rhetoric kinda breaks down in the face of there being a very clear aggressor/invader to this conflict. A dam was destroyed because it was occupied by an invading force. The invading force was there because the invadee w

I deleted my Facebook almost 8 years ago and never looked back. Was hard at first but great for my mental health. I encourage you to try disabling it for a while and keeping up with your network with alternatives

Jaeger is used for traces between distributed systems (external) Traditional APM products are internal traces

have you seen any implementations of internal tracing like APM being used with Grafana? I think lack of a good open source alternative to New Relic or Datadog APM kinda killed OSS monitoring for my company. The Jaeger integration is a good

I don't follow what you mean about context, you brought up a bad example and you're moving goal-posts. There have been numerous revolutions with positive benefits to the world at large as well as to the society/culture in whi

No, sorry, my original comment wasn't super clear. I only meant that, in the context of world events of this era, history won't overly scrutinize the USA while it seems to be a generally Western problem. Not interested in getting

You can find just as many atrocities and missteps of the law by scrutinizing other 1st world countries. The West as a whole benefits from the system that America has created and protects. History books will give just as much a shit about th

I don't think I've posted a lot of flamebait. Maybe a couple of times when the topic drifts close to something regarding women or minority rights. I agree that my comment was not substantive and I'm sorry
