OpenTelemetry Collector: What It Is, When You Need It, and When You Don't

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-19 03:29:17

Do you really need an OpenTelemetry Collector? If you're just sprinkling SDKs into a side project - maybe not. If you're running a multi-service production environment and care about cost, performance, security boundaries, or intelligent processing - yes, you almost certainly do. This post explains exactly what the OpenTelemetry Collector is, why it exists, how data flows with and without it, and the trade‑offs of each approach.

Midcentury North American Restaurant Placemats

news.ycombinator.com Elizabeth Goodspeed 2025-09-18 04:52:17

Today’s collection is a grab bag of midcentury North American restaurant placemats. Like so many past ephemera finds I’ve shared here, I bought these at Brimfield Flea this July from a vendor who had around 500 in a big plastic tub. I bought 25 for $75 (a steal!) but I did have to talk myself out of asking how much it would be for the whole box. Most of these date from the late 1940s through the ’50s, when the postwar boom and expanding highway system put long-distance vacations within reach fo

How a 2020 Rolex Collection Changed the Face of Watch Design

wired.com Chris Hall 2025-09-27 00:27:39

As the company that either invented or popularized the dive watch, the GMT watch, the first water-resistant watch, the first automatic watches, and much more besides, you could hardly downplay Rolex’s influence on watchmaking history. But while its iconic sports watches, like the Submariner, Daytona and GMT-Master are endlessly imitated, Rolex is not seen as a trendsetter, preferring to ignore passing horological fashions. It does its own thing, iterating carefully and minimally on its age-old t

Fil's Unbelievable Garbage Collector

Fil's Unbelievable Garbage Collector Fil-C uses a parallel concurrent on-the-fly grey-stack Dijkstra accurate non-moving garbage collector called FUGC (Fil's Unbelievable Garbage Collector). You can find the source code for the collector itself in fugc.c, though be warned, that code cannot possibly work without lots of support logic in the rest of the runtime and in the compiler. Let's break down FUGC's features: Parallel: marking and sweeping happen in multiple threads, in parallel. The more

With macOS 26, Apple has announced a dramatically new look to their UI: Liquid Glass. Solid material icon elements give way to softer, shinier, glassier icons. The rounded rectangle became slightly more rounded, and Apple eliminated the ability for icon elements to extend beyond the icon rectangle (as seen in the current icons for GarageBand, Photo Booth, Dictionary, etc.).
