Building medical device software @hrtbtmed | thinking and writing about how to build safety critical software using modern approaches

@jorinvo You can attach the exceptions as events on the spans and it covers a lot of error reporting needs in my experience. And similar for performance monitoring, your traces basically give a lot of that for free.
Unless we talk about cpu load etc, those are a different story.

[Florian Scholz @reddish_flo]

@jorinvo One thing to keep in mind with sentry is that they are unfortunately not oTel compatible last I checked. So a little bit of vendor lock there.

@andrewvijay @threepointone There are probably limits to it, yeah. But even on a fairly modest vm running a postgres-cluster you can quite easily run 50+ databases. So as long as you are somewhat diligent in not keeping PRs open for too long it's not too bad

[Florian Scholz @reddish_flo]

@threepointone It's definitely an issue. The way we're currently working around it is creating a new DB in our staging cluster for each open PR. When the PR is closed or merged it's cleaned up. Requires custom infrastructure though.

@hillelogram @PyretLang Your newsletter inspired me to finally start writing down my thoughts on software specification: https://t.co/1ZznOjhw20
I would be really curious about your opinions on it

[Florian Scholz @reddish_flo]

Software specifications have a lot of problems. But they could be way better, and a powerful tool.

[Florian Scholz @reddish_flo]

Why is writing so hard?
(no, this is not a serious question, I just want to complain a bit)

[Florian Scholz @reddish_flo]

Turns out a different project has a proper lexicon specification that is close enough to use. Nice. That will get me some dictionaries for free as well!

[Florian Scholz @reddish_flo]

Aaaand I instantly found a problem in the spec. It handwaves away how exactly different word forms should be provided to the dictionary.
I guess I'll just make something up 🤷‍♂️

[Florian Scholz @reddish_flo]

Earlier today I stumbled upon an interesting controlled natural language spec in a paper from NIST. I'm a bit worried about my santiy but I think I'll try to implement it 😅 Could be a good fit for some of my ideas around structured software documentation...

[Florian Scholz @reddish_flo]

@ozachou_g I think they look amazing. The balance between "clumpy" bits and long arcs make them super interesting

[Florian Scholz @reddish_flo]

@mikart_NFT Good morning 🙂

[Florian Scholz @reddish_flo]

Ok I slowly really start to be excited about the variety of results this algorithm creates by now.

I generated about 300 or so, and - besides some bugs I discovered - most of them were really interesting in some way 🤓 #p5js #genartclub #generative

@gorillasu Amazing colors!

[Florian Scholz @reddish_flo]

@KaufmanRoni The shapes emerging because of the colors are really cool in this

[Florian Scholz @reddish_flo]

@CryptoStorm__ Gm to you! I hope you'll meet many amazing new people

[Florian Scholz @reddish_flo]

@shvembldr Gm

Amazing colors - it really feels dramatic

[Florian Scholz @reddish_flo]

So I heard we're liking Squid Game now? #p5js #genartclub #generative

[Florian Scholz @reddish_flo]

@georgedoescode @GeneratorBtn Really impressive how real it feels even when zoomed in!
