It does get at what I'm talking about. But I've seen retrying in this situation lead to worsening the situation, because your basic problem is two hot paths conflicting with each other and now you're conflicting even more.

Do folks have any thoughts on ways of avoiding deadlocking access patterns? In a codebase where folks are sort of adding ad-hoc endpoints left and right, it's hard to avoid the case of two endpoints that more or less want to do:

Eddie Izzard was joking in 1998 about the "The" and the prohibited names for The City ( https://youtu.be/QRB_GhLXCds?si=R4kYkodzvYDxe33H&t=276 ), so it's probably been like this for many decades thence!

For others, I'm sure parent knows: OKLCH is largely a bugfix for CILEAB. Both try to make a color space where even steps feel evenly spaced to a human. But CIELAB had procedural flaws in its creation. See slide 19: https://w

Kind of moot anyway; 100x zoom is equivalent to a 2400mm lens (with no stabilization assist). If you can hand-aim that on target, you're an elite marksman.

Since we both worked there: I can think of a few places at Segment where we'd have added more reporting/analytics/search if it weren't such a pain to set up a OLAP copy of our control plane databases. Remember how much e

In practice, identity providers (Okta, Entra, etc.) will retry for a bit before reporting to the IDP admin that their SCIM connection to the SaaS vendor is unhealthy. From there, things get fixed ad-hoc. Okta and Entra have different reques

To really support Entra in particular, you must have to reference Entra's implicit spec, which is roughly documented here: https://github.com/AzureAD/SCIMReferenceCode/tree/master/Mic... One way thi

We're aiming to abstract away our AWS dependencies -- KMS, S3, SES -- specifically to accommodate other clouds or non-clouds.
