It looks a bit more complicated, in that the announcement mentions the open sourcing of some proprietary tech. So it looks like there was some IP bought, along with the hires. But …

Not OPA-based , but Kyverno-based. Kyverno is also CNCF, basically an overlap of OPA functionality (with some give and take.) Nirmata provides commercial/enterprise options around …

The shop (Styra) did get closed. A few of the most senior maintainers were hired by Apple. Many - including anyone not directly involved in engineering of the OSS product - are now…

From the post, I'm pretty sure Apple didn't buy Styra. Sounds like Apple hired the maintainers who worked at Styra (including Tim, Teemu and Torin). I'm guessing that Styra is just…

Carnivores tend to sleep longer than omnivores, who tend to sleep longer than herbivores. For a hunting carnivore, energy comes in big bursts, so it makes sense that they would be …

In 2018, Unilever announced that they would soon stop using plastics in their teabags. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/feb/28/pg-tips-... They've since reformulated th…

They do, in fact, have humans who check to make sure that everyone starts behind the starting line. And both humans and computers which check to make sure that nobody starts early.…

I am an author. While 99% of "ordinary people" are not authors, 99% of authors are "ordinary people". Under your moral logic, everyone should just be free to pirate/steal any creat…

Hi PeterCorless! (We're friends IRL - it's Greg) While we're putting in plugs for open source alternatives, I'll recommend looking at StarRocks. https://www.starrocks.io/ I share P…

First, your work day is almost completely sedentary. Second, you are not near friends, gyms, fields, or other systems which promote healthy activity outside of work. While diet is …

There's also this pretty detailed article on StarRocks' query optimizer. (StarRocks is open source - focused on OLAP) https://medium.com/starrocks-engineering/starrocks-inside-sc..…

Atlassian, famously, got to very significant revenue before hiring Sales. But even they, eventually, got to a size and complexity where Sales was required. https://www.bloomberg.co…

I've written four books. Each book is the result of thousands of hours of experience and hundreds of hours of work. My books are all over these sites, and have been used to train A…

I'm curious who these "companies selling exactly this service" are. I get solicited by dozens of companies daily. And I've seen nobody who can provide this de-annonymization of web…

From first-hand experience, B2B sellers do not get this information today. They typically get "signals" like "Company X is searching for product category Y" or "Company X is visiti…

It's a prank. Meant to be funny. Best when signing up for something which might be construed as embarrassing. I've also done this where I've donated $25 to U of California in the n…

TIL that books3 includes the text of three of my books. Which I spent thousands of hours (and thousands of dollars) researching and writing. And which were now stolen for other's p…

Every DB company - from giants like Oracle and MS to newcomers like Scylla and Cockroach - is pushing Cloud Service as their primary revenue model. At least for the growth of their…

Not "that anonymous user." In my experience, avoiding Join statements is a common best practice for Clickhouse users seeking performant queries on large datasets. A couple examples…

There's a difference between "supports the syntax for joins" and "does joins efficiently enough that they are useful." My experience with Clickhouse is that its joins are not perfo…

StarRocks handles latency and concurrency as well as Clickhouse but also does joins. Less denormalization, and you can use the same platform for traditional BI/ad-hoc queries.

An ad for what?

With the caveat that I know nothing about mailgun, so may have misunderstood parts of the conversation, it sounds, to me, like the salesman did a few very helpful things... 1. Poin…

Price should be based on value to the user - not cost to you. So ask yourself this question - if you have 2 customers, each with 25,000 profiles. Customer 1 has average monthly sen…
