In this episode, host Amey Ambade sits with Eric Tschetter, co-founder of Apache Druid and Chief Architect at Imply, to dissect the critical move toward Decoupling Observability. To begin, they define three pillars—logs, metrics, and traces—and consider why the rise of microservices has made traditional, tightly coupled stacks a major source of pain. Such coupled systems can lead to issues such as vendor lock-in, prohibitive scaling costs, and operational complexity. Drawing parallels to the Business Intelligence world’s separation, Tschetter presents an architectural solution with four distinct layers: Ingest/Route, Data Storage, Query/Compute, and Visualization. This framework aims to provide flexibility to…
Although the Find X9 Ultra was undoubtedly the star of the show at Oppo’s big launch event in China this week, there were plenty of other new devices unveiled, including tablets, smartwatches and more.

But it’s also because a compact tablet by the brand has been a long time coming. Fortunately, I was…

Orbeez are small water beads made from superabsorbent polymer material. Drop them in water and they expand into soft, squishy balls.

Key Takeaways Orbeez are a branded type of water bead made from superabsorbent polymer material. They expand because their internal polymer structure pulls in and traps large amounts of water. They are usually safe to touch, but they are dangerous if swallowed, inhaled, or inserted…

Or rather, they can wake almost anyone. Deaf individuals would sleep right on through the loudest of noises, rendering these safety measures useless.Fortunately, other solutions have been developed in the past to serve this community. Some of the most effective devices are special pillows equipped with actuators that vibrate to quickly wake a person without sound. But while they are effective, many users find…
