I'm not sure the log message v structured message comparison makes sense - most log and trace events are batched and compressed before being transported, and so the size difference…

We use KQL to for axiom too (well, a version of it) - it's a great query language and very flexible for unstructured + structured data.

I was the lead developer of Unity and the creator of Ubuntu Netbook Remix and can also confirm the article isn’t slightly true.

(co-founder here) Try axiom.co - we support splunk-like query syntax, dashboards, monitors, unlimited sources/hosts/etc, and you get 500GB/mo ingest + 30 days retention on the free…

And that resulting in compromises such as high amounts of sampling, ignoring a facet of data altogether because "we won't need it if something goes wrong...", and/or using some kin…

In the case of Axiom & Vercel, you'll only be paying for ingest (if you need over 2GB/day) and no bandwidth costs. I believe the latter is the case with all of Vercel's observabili…

Neil here, CEO of Axiom, glad it’s working out for you! Would love to hear what custom alerts you’ve set up. Our goal is to provide some out-of-the-box alerting tuned to Vercel dep…

> The solution goes - Splunk is too expensive, let's ditch logs altogether and hope we capture some metrics and plot them in nice dashboards. Instead of dumping the logs highly com…

It's harder to find Discord communities than IRC channels. You only had to join a few IRC servers to get huge lists of often-related channels.

I was responsible for writing a lot of the Unity shell for Ubuntu with my team, taking it from Ubuntu Netbook Remix -> Unity (Mutter) -> Unity (Compiz). During that period I feel l…

In banking/government terms, yes, but in general terms NRI is used much wider to describe a person of Indian origin. At least in West India.

Fwiw, there seems to be a push from VCs to bring you in talking about a 'normal' seed round (a smallish figure, debt-financing or simple equity-financing), but then try and talk up…

Hi all - grpcc is a simple cli tool for running interactive or non-interactive rpc calls against gRPC services. I posted a big update today with some nifty features and thought it …

In 2007 I was working on an open source dock for Linux called AWN ( https://launchpad.net/awn ). It helped me get my first job at OpenedHand, working on free and open source softwa…

I've been using this recently for a pretty complex SPA and it's been great. It's clear what's happening, without a tons of boilerplate code, and it has some nice dev tools as well …

I've raved about Echo before on HN, but I'll do it again because it's is one of those frameworks that are just lovely to use. Very easy to keep API mapped in your head, code is sim…

Agreed - those two points, and the general simplicity of the Echo codebase, were why I ended up using it over the (many) other options for Go. Honestly haven't had the desire to ch…

Have been using this for quite some time - it has a nice API and is solid in production. I love the simplicity and it's small enough a codebase to quickly read and start hacking ar…
