Yea, the deal is not yet closed, but assuming no regulatory hold up (think new relic is public, so if pixie is worth enough, they'll need to go through HSR) or similar stuff, they …

It's extremely quick to do it there as well. Originally, bpf was created to replace tcpdump with a quicker less impactful alternative. People saw that it was a pretty neat alternat…

These iovisor guys write some cool stuff that uses bpf, like: https://github.com/iovisor/kubectl-trace

What is the strategy to get to profitability then? Have only heard of the self driving route before.

Has there been any progress on the zfs on linux Linus disagreement front since this article? https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2020/01/linus-torvalds-zfs-s...

Yep, it is.

Yes, I absolutely agree that there is a problem with greed, ego and hubris in sillicon valley. Just wanted to point out that not all engineers fall in that category. I think that c…

Believe it or not, there are some engineers that have worked at faang companies that are not sloppy and I work with a few of them.

I usually avoid scripting in bash or sh and use python instead on the linux side. But yea, powershell is a pretty solid shell and seems more intuitive than bash/sh. The object orie…

Brendan Gregg (the guy that gave that talk that the article linked to) wrote an extremely awesome book called systems performance. It is the best and most pragmatic operating syste…

Originally BPF aka the Berkeley packet filter was written to provide a faster/more lightweight alternative to tcpdump. People realized it was an awesome idea, so they started addin…

Yea, agreed.. they definitely could assuming someone does something stupid and exposes keys with access to everything. But this removes the barrier of needing to have a tiny bit of…

kind of terrifying.. wonder how long until a script kiddy finds some access/secret keys in github or somewhere else and kills a company.

Memory is graph based, not a dictionary of key/value pairs. You learn and retain information more easily by making many connections to information.

what part of vault, consul, terraform or any of their other tools makes any of them a thin wrapper around linux?

A slow reply... but I didn't read that article, I was assuming it was the same one from this pilot's testimony on joe rogen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eco2s3-0zsQ The pilot w…

Apparently they were being picked up on radar as well tho.

I'm definitely extremely skeptical about whether or not its true, but the theory being argued for the nimitz sighting is that it bends space in front of and behind the craft for pr…

Windows terminal preview is another option. It has tabs and is configurable.

Think it'd be worth trying on wsl2 again. The first version was too slow to use, but I am loving wsl 2 now. The integration between windows and the wsl2 vm is a lot more seamless t…
