Hello again.
Comic of the week
Links of the week
Service level adoption obstacles
I have tried Datadog, Grafana, Elastic, and a few others. NO ONE GOT IT RIGHT! It is as if they just wanted to check a box to add SLO as a feature to their products. SLO is not just a feature. It is THE way you add value to empower reliability engineering, reshape the organization, and build a culture of data-driven optimization.
Controlling the Taylor Swift Eras Tour wristbands with Flipper Zero
Many large concerts feature wristbands that light up on command. They are used to produce varied visual effects across a stadium. One company that makes these is PixMob. Their controllable, illuminated wristbands are currently being used as part of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour.
2D Rigid Body Collision Resolution
From Mario bouncing off a Goomba to two cars bumping into each other in a racing game, dealing with collisions is such an integral part of most video games that we often take it for granted.
Pretty cool post. Lots of interactive examples. Give it a try!
6 Archetypes of Broken Ownership
The rationale is:
You cannot be responsible for something you don’t control. You need the mandate.
You cannot use that mandate effectively over something you don’t understand. You need knowledge.
You gain knowledge only if you are fully responsible for the consequences of your mandate.
learning a new language is easy, actually
While some languages take as little as 600 hours to reach fluency, you can also just watch videos about how to learn the language for 1000 hours. Should achieve the same effect, honestly.
The $400 BILLION Dollar Scam DESTROYING Your Feet
In this video I’ll give you the 3 Step System for Strong Feet. This is extremely important because unfortunately “BIG SHOE” AKA Nike, Vans, and Adidas have been destroying our feet for decades. Without us realizing it, we’ve continued to give our dollars to these shoe Juggernauts, who sell us a product that puts us in pain, leading us to movement dysfunction.
I have created a survey to get feedback from you. It takes only 2 minutes.
