Why do I get the same meeting reminder twice, in different places, with different UI, from 2 different MS apps? Does windows not have a unified notification chungus? Does MS not know how to use it?

anyone know a good resource that concisely explains characteristics of good monitoring/alerting setups for devops/sysadmins? e.g. clear, actionable messages with contextual info, in as few locations/channels as reasonable, high SNR, etc?

i feel like i've read on this topic before but nothing i can find or recall specifically rn, and i think my target audience needs a better writer than me, and/or an appeal to authority, to get the message

I've opened registration on approval again.

We are trying to make a healthy, inclusive and moderated space... less a space to talk about the BSDs as to give those communities a chance to socialize, play, share their varied interests and support each other while working to give new people seats at the table. No tech interest required, but we'll help if you want to learn. If that sounds fun, or you have friends here, read the rules(!) and type something human-like in the box and come say hi!

You don't need to be intelligent to start a school or teach, just rich. You could argue that "rich" is actually antithetical to "intelligent".

somehow at work I got put on a list of people who receive the "Salesforce Monthly Feature Retirement Digest" and as you can probably guess it is just the most inane mind-numbing waste of space imaginable.

however, I haven't unsubscribed yet. because to me the fact that you retire So Many Features in a given month that you have to batch them up into a single digest email is incredibly funny, and so every time I get the email the absurdity of the whole thing makes me giggle a bit.

@cstanhope For the past few years, I've pretty much resolved all my Python issues with Poetry for dev and distro packages + Pipx for installing executables.

Python's dependency management has had an extremely convoluted history, but I think it landed in an okay place.

And it's not just that it's shifting, it's that it's confusing. Especially when you are already juggling so many other things outside of Python with their own set of complexities.

Probably the real problem is that I allowed Python (yet another runtime) in to the list of dependencies. I don't want to leave Python out completely, but perhaps it is best used, in my context, as a scripting and notebook tool and not as a production tool. But those lines can be blurry anyway.

In recent years I've got a lot of mileage out of Python, but the packaging, building, distribution story is one that has been in constant flux since I've been developing with it. I never feel like I'm doing it right, and the blog post below confirms I have a boatload of code that is apparently doing it wrong. This shifting packaging story is a constant source of friction in this particular ecosystem, one that makes me wish I hadn't started down the Python path.
