OpenTracing and OpenCensus have been merged into the OpenTelemetry project. I think OT isn't sunset officially yet, but the future is OTel.

The span is simply the way the data is modeled. The way the tracing works is it calls a component called a Span Processor on both span start and end. It would be possible to implement a Span Processor that sends span_start and span_end even

I'm unclear about the part about expensive queries to the data store. What cron/celery/quartz job would require a check to the data store for a check that wouldn't need to be done with posthook? It seems like if work dep

What is truly astounding about this is the patience to even attempt to explain free theorems to a 6 year old. Most parents would likely answer "math" and that would be the end of it. I don't (yet) have kids, but when I do I h

>”I don’t think the average person likely reads that whole document.” This is my favorite quote in the whole article. Sums up the pompousness of the company quite nicely I think. This is one of the largest companies in the world. The quo

I assume this refers to the overhead of the JVM itself. How high that is and how much that matters has been subject to debate, but I think it is objectively higher overhead cost than the Go runtime.

I think the author is saying "more complex" relative to higher level languages like Go. They mean to put Rust in the same category as C++. It could be rephrased as "prepared to accept languages like C++, D, and Rust with more

Does anybody know if this is truly carbon neutral, or just paid for with carbon offset credits?

If an electronics retailer could do this at no additional cost, I have no doubt that they would.

I think you misunderstood what I meant by non-responsive. 10ms latency from click to action is nowhere near as noticeable as 10ms latency when dragging, because the mouse visibly lags behind.

Creating a false sense of urgency is a cornerstone of modern marketing. The only difference between this and any other marketing campaign is that you just happened to catch them this time. This is just like when you go to an electronics sto

Yes there is. Humans are normally not very responsive to the time between when an action is started and when it is carried out on the screen, but this changes for actions like drawing and dragging. This is the reason for the new Pro Motion

Netlify with a GitHub post-update hook to automatically build and deploy when I push. No muss no fuss with free SSL termination provided by letsencrypt and low latency handshakes across the globe. Now if only I had something to write...

This is a nice solution but if you have any readers that don't live near you, you may want to think about using Cloudflare for SSL termination. SSL can add unacceptably high latency to connection costs for people who are not in close p

I believe that the gist is not really meant to provide accurate numbers in every case. Especially with things like network latency, it is very difficult to say that any time is the 'correct' time because it will be different in an

I assume it has to do with the official branding of both Google Play and the Apple App Store. The official button images that they've approved use the verbs 'get' and 'play' respectively, and I believe it is probabl

I'd use a raspberry pi set up as a kiosk. If you google 'raspberry pi kiosk mode' there should be a fair handful of simple tutorials.

I was under the impression that outside the AUR, Arch is primarily based on binary distribution.

That doesn't really take away from the finding though. This is obviously not meant to be a thorough analysis of what opcodes a compiler "knows" (he could have just looked at the source code for gnu cc if that were the case),

Well no cost is a bit of a misnomer. Usually, unless you host your own, when you don't pay in dollars you pay in privacy. That being said, ownCloud is a great open source alternative to Drive (I host mine on digitalocean which is just

Is your typo in the last line intentional or just an amusingly juxtaposed mistake exemplifying what you are trying to explain?

How do you plan to compete with or differentiate from any of the sites you are aggregating? My usual flow for seeing if restaurants are good generally goes like this: 1. google places near me 2. see google reviews for place 3. maybe read 1

That might not matter though. People ask their "tech friends" about phones and computers, I know people ask me all the time. The "tech friend" is much more likely to care about privacy and to bring it up as a concern whe

Sometimes magic isn't a good thing, especially when you're operating a service used by as many people as hn daily. Magic means things happened that I didn't explicitly instruct.

Not sure about other services but at least GoGo was limited to about 500kbps per user last I heard.

Most cell phones have pretty low-quality microphones. My guess is that a basic white-noise generator in an inaudible frequency would render the microphone pretty much useless. That being said, there is the problem of then having to maintain
