I will never stop feeling extremely smug when I look around at a landscape and think “huh, I wonder why it’s like this?” and later find out that there’s a very interesting historical reason it’s like this and actually it underlies the entire history of the region.
underlies region landscape
The the words it uses that this site has seen
least often elsewhere. Posts are matched on those words alone —
nothing here is a summary of this one.

Amazon exec: "you wouldn't notice [if someone blew up a datacenter]. I mean, we might be a bit upset, but you wouldn't notice!

(yes, more than one DC was blown up, but, like other failures, of course DCs being blown up aren't uncorrelated events) data centers Related

I wrote recently about how the collection of good, fruitful open problems is now being mined in a non-renewable fashion, leading to the potential scenario of these problems becoming scarce. This may seem unintuitive at first, since the set of possible problems one could ask is infinite. Perhaps the following analogy can help: a country or region can suffer a critical shortage of drinking water while simultaneously being surrounded by a massive ocean. One can easily generate any number of open problems in mathematics at will, such as working out the 10^10^10th digit of pi. But the vast majorit… Related

warmer air is exponentially "thirstier" (saturation vapor pressure rises ~7% per degree), so it pulls moisture out of live vegetation and dead fuels alike, priming the landscape to burn.

Bluesky Years ago, I predicted columnar storage would remake the landscape of observability. I thought a wave of new columnar-backed tools would displace the creaky old three pillars model with tech that is faster, easier, cheaper, better in every way. Well, I was half right. charity.wtf

x.com Years ago, I predicted that columnar storage would remake the landscape of observability tools. I thought we'd see a wave of new columnar-backed observability tools grow up to displace the old, creaky, three pillars model with tech that is faster, easier, cheaper, and better in every way. I was half right. Observability vendors, you are chasing the wrong ball. Datadog's great weakness is not their price point, it's their product. @ClickHouseDB, good job. You don't make me want to stab my eyes out. In this market landscape, that's high praise. charity.wtf

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
