🔍 Troubleshooting Time Series Databases: Where Did My Metrics Go?

In this blog post, Zhu Jiekun takes VictoriaMetrics as an example and uses its built-in tools to investigate. Of course, you can apply the same troubleshooting approach to Prometheus as they are highly compatible.

The flow state: the science of the elusive creative mindset that can improve your life

Scientists have long known the mental and creative benefits of total absorption in an activity. But what causes it, and how can we achieve it?

Anchor-based minimal important difference values are often sensitive to the distribution of the change score - Quality of Life Research

Purpose Anchor-based studies are today the most popular approach to determine a minimal important difference value for an outcome variable. However, a variety of construction methods for such values do exist. This constitutes a challenge to the field. In order to distinguish between more or less adequate construction methods, meaningful minimal requirements can be helpful. For example, minimal important difference values should not reflect the intervention(s) the patients are exposed to in the study used for construction, as they should later allow to compare interventions. This requires that they are not sensitive to the distribution of the change score observed. This study aims at investigating to which degree established construction methods fulfil this minimal requirement. Methods Six constructions methods were considered, covering very popular and recently suggested methods. The sensitivity of MID values to the distribution of the change score was investigated in a simulation study for these six construction methods. Results Five out of six construction methods turned out to yield MID values which are sensitive to the distribution of the change score to a degree that questions their usefulness. Insensitivity can be obtained by using construction methods based solely on an estimate of the conditional distribution of the anchor variable given the change score. Conclusion In future the computation of MID values should be based on construction methods avoiding sensitivity to the distribution of the change score.

Now I am starting on "Legends & Lattes" by Travis Baldree. In a paper book for a change. I've heard so much about this. After only five chapters, I know this is the right book for me right now. An orc decides, after years of fighting, to settle down and open a coffee shop.

I am also reading (listening to) and appreciating "Four Hundred Souls: A Community History of African America, 1619-2019", edited by Ibram X. Kendi and Keisha N. Blain, but I really need some pure fiction to recharge my batteries.

I thoroughly enjoyed "Starter Villain" by @scalzi - finished it today. It was especially fun to listen to #WilWheaton reading it to me. Only one thing puzzles me. In the acknowledgement section at the end, John Scalzi thanks the many who supported him in the writing and ends the list with his wife. There is also a chunk with "you know who you are". Is that where Scalzi's cats are? Shouldn't he have thanked the cats by name?? #FridayRead #bookstodon #FredagsBog
