Try MySpace, classmates.com? They are still around.


The trouble is: broadly speaking, no one uses those.


I logged into classmates a couple of years ago. I had a message waiting from 2005 from one of my sister's insane ex-friends. That was a blast from the past and hilarious. 18 years without bothering to log in.

Then I realized their business model is so low-rent, they had web 1.0 style protections on scraping all their scanned yearbooks. So I liberated all the ones with anyone I was likely to know and posted them to Archive.org.

You're welcome.

Try faking your data next time, dude! You will be famous for some time. Do you even know how hard it is to make data points that seem natural but follow some clear pattern you want it to follow? I spent a good half of a day looking for that proper inverse formula.



VictoriaMetrics does support occasional updates/deletes (e.g. you may need it for GDPR compliance).


That’s Schengen zone, some countries are in Schengen but not in EU.


No, the right to live and work is not related to Schengen.

Ireland isn't in Schengen, but a French person can move there tomorrow for work or study etc. They have to show a passport at border control, but otherwise face a very similar situation as they would moving to Germany (fill in some papers, get a local tax id etc).


Minor nitpick: you don't need a passport to travel to/from EU countries not in Schengen as an EU national - your national ID will do.


In practise I forget that, as neither of the two countries relevant to me issue(d) national identity cards (UK, Denmark).


"As an EU national, you're entitled to work — for an employer or as a self-employed person — in any EU country without needing a work permit."

Iceland already has freedom of movement (to live and work) due to its EEA membership; and it is only somewhat to do with Schengen, which is about passport free travel not living and working. You can have FoM without Schengen - e.g Romania until 1st Jan 2025.


Schengen is more about removing border controls so that EU can be more like USA in this regard. EU is about alignment with each other on common issues and resources like fishing waters, agriculture, trade deals, right etc.

They each have many implementation details, like if you are in EU but not in Schengen you don't have access to certain common databases.

The desire of countries cherrypicking and sovereignty made Europe very complex structure, I can't wait to have Federal Europe with every country in it with a simplified structure. Can be like US, can be like Switzerland or Germany maybe but thise structures over structures is just way too much and its begging for simplification.

Apparently, %36 of Spanish businesses haven't heard of the Schengen area and another %18 have heard of it but don't know what is it: https://europa.eu/eurobarometer/surveys/detail/3177


Can somebody explain what is unique about s3 tables?


Unique comparing to what?

There are other products that provide something similar, but are not as popular, as easy (part of easy here is integration with aws) to use and require extra tooling. This will be goto tool for many people working with data, and I'd expect "load_from_s3" to be added to many tools fairly quickly. That's unique.


Thanks for reply! I thought that this S3 table would be something other than Databricks or Snowflake.


The problem with OpenTelemetry is that it really only good for tracing. Metrics and logs are kinda bungee strapped later: very inefficient and clunky to use.

PS: And devs (Lightspeed?) seem to really like "Open" prefix: OpenTracing + OpenCensus = OpenTelemetry.


Could you elaborate more about metrics and logs feeling bungee strapped together?

For logs it's going to necessarily be a bit messier IMO. Logs in OTel are designed to just be your existing application logs, but an SDK or agent can wrap those with a trace and span ID to correlate them for you. And so the benefit is you can bring your existing logs, but the downside is there's no clean framework to use for logging effectively, meaning there's a great deal of variability in the quality of those logs. It's also still rolling out across the languages, so while you might have excellent support in something like Java, the support in Node isn't as clean right now.

Metrics is pretty well-baked, but it's a different model and wire format than Prometheus or other systems.


My two cents about metrics: in my experience, documentation, examples, ecosystem, etc. is far behind compared to traces. OTel blogs and tutorials usually assume you want tracing only, or were written a few years back when OTel was (almost?) exclusively traces.


War was way more abundant and routine in those days. To the east of the study area, there was constant presence of nomadic tribes. I guess it's easier to defend in large groups. The other way to deter invaders is to not have anything to eat yourself (hence frequent fires when settlers burned their own settlements ahead of enemy).


the horse wasn't domesticated yet, this is a really old archaeological culture


It's hard to invest millions in employees who are likely to leave to a competitor later. That's very risky, aka venture.


So the alternative is to...?


What about Java modules (aka JEP-200, aka Project Jigsaw, completed in 2017)?

Used it for JavaFX apps with no problems.


Java modules are fine but don’t offer a solution for version conflicts.
