people have always known that honeycomb is the best way to solve the hardest problems that demand complex systems observability. what you haven't known is it's a better way to solve ordinary problems, too.

✨the way you are doing it now✨
🔥is the hard way🔥
🐝it gets better🐝
lots of people kept their legacy tools around in addition to honeycomb, because they were friendlier and gave you the basics at a glance.

there is value in the basics. there is value in the default three graphs that everyone is familiar with at a glance.
our mission here was to make people feel more anchored, oriented, and safe to venture off and explore ... since they would always know how to get back to the basics.

you're also a hop away from killer features like integrated tracing, bubbleup, and shared history with your team.

hey, all you kittens suffering from vicious FOMO.. i see you. 💔 here's the plan:

1. each discussion topic pod will have a note taker
2. end of night, all pods will present their takeaways to the whole room
3. when event is over, i will post all the topics + takeaways online
problem is, takeaways aren't the point of this event. people aren't showing up to passively receive wisdom from "experts".

we are all coming to actively puzzle through some highly unsolved industry problems with our peers, and share bits of information that are rarely pooled.
after all 💘you💘 need to be in the driver's seat of your own career, not some foggy expert.

so if it turns to be useful we'll look for ways to hold more of these in other cities, ways to help local leaders run successful skill shares. people like you. (ok?)

half of the talks coming out of monitorama are super cool. the other half ...

if they don't convince you to buy @honeycombio instead of rolling your own, then you are voluntarily opting to learn nothing from the last decade of mistakes in this industry.
@honeycombio i don't usually go balls out on statements as self-serving as that, but in this case it's just a fucking fact.
@honeycombio also: open source companies get away with giving self-serving marketing hoohaw disguised as "talks" that non open source companies would get CREAMED for,

and trusting AI to decide what to page you on still is, and forever will be, bullshit.

Pro Tip: when a vendor claims to handle high cardinality, don't rejoice before you ask:

* what do they mean by "handle"?
* can you break down by a hi-card dimension?
* can you break down by multiple? how many?
* do you have to index that field in advance?
* describe perf hit?
* what data types can be hi-card?
* what are the limits on those fields?
* what operations can you run on them?
* describe implications to your storage footprint,
* and costs
* what is the tested upper limit to cardinality?
* must you define schema up front?
* how wide can it be?
there are so many sneaky ways to lie with data, tests, and cute marketing slogans ("Infinite Cardinality!")

more like infinite marketing budget, lol

WHEN IS EID?
I have received several calls and messages from people asking me my take on a video in circulation by Qamar Uddin from UK on when is Eid. Qamar Uddin and I are both members of ICOP Islamic crescent observation project icoproject.org
Conjunction of Shawwal crescent will occur on Monday 3rd June at 11:02am, by sunset same day the crescent will be about 6hrs old in Saudi and 8hrs old in Nigeria and the Moon’s altitude ll be less than 5 degrees making it impossible to sight the crescent both in Saudi and Nigeria
( a crescent can be seen with an optical aid from 12 hrs old and 18hrs old with naked eye). So based on the above information just like Qamar Uddin mentioned in his video, it’s impossible to sight the crescent on Monday and Ramadan should be 30 days, Eid should be on Wednesday

When I was a kid, nine or ten, I was smart, wiggly, and precocious, raised by a single working mom. She found all kinds of interesting things for me to read, because I love to read. One day she picked up a free magazine for me called ComputorEdge. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ComputorE…
She had just bought a new "computor" because she was young, recently widowed, and going to law school; she needed it for classes. We had an Apple II in my classroom at that time, but other than that, I hadn't been exposed to anything like this before. I was in 5th grade I think.
No, maybe 6th. Either way, it was the late 1980s. Anyway, this wasn't a cutting edge computer or even a new one. I think it was a 286. So I set about learning this new technology with zeal, being the kid I was. Then that article in ComputorEdge I read changed everything.

So, I've waded through the Evangelical Alliance's new pastoral "guidelines" for interacting with trans people (ughh, the things I do to expose #transphobic #ciswits to the world), and let's just say it's time to tear this particular sh*t-bag a new hole.

CW: #Transphobia, #ConversionTherapy, #Zucker, #Religiously #driven #zealotry

So, straight off the bat, first page of text, the use of #language is . . . well, yeah, see for yourself:

"It is important to remember that transgender is not simply an issue to be debated;" - p5, #Transformed

*sigh*

When such language gets reinforced by insisting...

Since 2015 I've been asking where Black activists fleeing political persecution in the States would be able to go today. Many had no answer.
This has been my instagram bio since 45's inauguration. More people have noticed it in the past two months than the previous six combined
And after the #MuslimBan I REALLY became more fearful of the gov using their imaginary borders to keep us in vs determining who can enter.
