Maybe companies should alert on an increased amount of traffic to their status pages.
I’ve seen alerting based on the number of Twitter mentions too

That's exactly a use-case I meant below. Do you use any BI tool to visualize CH queries?
There’s a community connector for metabase https://github.com/enqueue/metabase-clickhouse-driver
They are not too hard in principle, but w.r.t implementation, even Google fails in some respects today with DMARC and its own Google Calendar (invite notifications bouncing within the same GSuite):

Calendar (and some other stuff) can be fixed by telling google to use the g suite domain for DKIM at https://admin.google.com/ac/apps/gmail/authenticateemail

Though I initially sympathized with the name change from master to main (cause I don't care what it is called), I am now more of the opinion that this kind of window-dressing might actually be harmful as it distracts from addressing the root cause. It is a bit complicated as the name change in itself is not bad, but given the context, and that it distracts from addressing real issues it actually is.
Same thing with plastic recycling, in and of itself it is better than landfill, but as it allows us to feel good and look away from the real problem (plastic is cheap because most impacts are externalized) the recycling of plastic contributes more to the problem than to the solution. I know people who traveled around the world about once a year, own a big house and altogether have a pretty big impact that could easily be reduced, but they do recycle plastic and think of themselves as somewhat environmentally responsible.
For the record, I do recycle plastic.
At the risk of being cpt obvious: <= 10% of plastic has ever been recycled + AFAIK there’s a pretty low limit on how many times you can recycle.

> Plastic also degrades each time it is reused, meaning it can't be reused more than once or twice.

Is the frustration meter shown in the talk video part of that original benchmark? Or is it something we could run on top of any page?
I had a search around, but didn't find anything.

> there's no excuse not to use TLS anymore
I have a personal site that consists entirely of low-value static assets:
Why should I use TLS for that?
Anyone on the path between your server and clients can change the content however they want. Inject ads, mining scripts, redirect
to a phishing website, try to push a virus to your client etc.
There are even ISPs that do that: https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/157828/my-isp-b...

I'd have to be running that billions of times a day before I'd start to care about the extra nanoseconds. Clean-looking code makes me feel better than having my servers sit at 67.3% CPU instead of 67.4% CPU.
If you hit a hot path the impact can be way higher. Especially if you're running client-side and want a fluid experience. Example: https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/12510
But definitely agree that cleaner code > performance in most cases. First make sure you really do need to squeeze that performance out.
I've contacted the reporter to see if we can setup a legal fund for this guy. It sounds like he's being bullied. This could also get a very bad precedent in Canada as this is totally absurd.
Add "help avoid sending teenagers to prison" to the list of reasons why you should prefer UUIDs over integers in your Internet-facing REST API.
This API was supposed to be private and yet supported trivial enumeration?
The thing is it wasn't even supposed to be private! https://twitter.com/SwiftOnSecurity/status/98536562414151270...
