Does anyone have experience using Apache Iceberg, Hudi or DeltaLake for storing logs instead of Loki?

Monads but more importantly MonadTransformers so you can program in a legible fashion. However, there's a lot of manual labour to stuff everything into a monad, and then extract it…

Too bad Apple hasn't released Apple AI at all; why bother with press releases featuring it? (EU)

Seems to be it's an ebb and flow of complexity; sometimes it increases like with sidecar proxies and their issues, like how they might listen on NICs differently, or how they cause…

We ran Zalando Operator for Postgres in k8s for a year, until finally succumbing to its technical debt that leaks out from every bit of its software being. After switching to the C…

Are these side-channel based management technologies turns on even on MacBook laptops?

It doesn't have to have a turing complete interpreter; it just have to be provably terminating, and you can build most use-cases as an active message. What I'm after with the monad…

> Exactly. Look, here's what I think happened here: You looked at this page, you saw the silly marketing, and your "gut feeling" told you that this guy is an amateur who needed to …

> it turns out they haven't actually performed the compile-time indirection Here's how much monadic control flow he actually has in Cap'n Proto: https://github.com/capnproto/capnpr…

I do really appreciate that you try to explain this from first principles. First, to explain myself, I'm primarily programming in F#, which is a hybrid functional AND object oriten…

Very nice of people to down-vote because they don't agree with what I write; I'm not being mean or evil here, I'm just stating an opinion and trying to back that opinion up with cl…

Passing around pointers to functions is more functional programming than object oriented programming. You're literally programming by passing functions around with callbacks. But o…

For me, new to cap'n'proto, this blog post doesn't cut the mustard because of multiple red flags: - to start, it's self-congratulatory at stating that streaming already exists "[vi…

Hasura on Postgres works really well too.

Does anybody know why the USA hogs the toplevel domain? It's not the only government in the world. It would seem more just to make it more like .com than .edu.

Like their free DNS service that supports DNSSEC, Rotor (CDN JS optimisation), Let's Encrypt integration out of the box, low latencies where the users live, etc

About 7 years ago, when I was trying to monitor .Net apps, there weren't that many alternatives available. The Elasticsearch-Logstash-Kibana stack had just gotten off the ground an…

> But if you had the key cached, and it changed, you’d probably freak out. Not in the servers-as-cattle age. By default, a rebuilt server will have a new key. Otherwise, you'd have…

It's missing a clear description what those "unique features" are, both from using Racket and to a visitor considering using it. In short, the site doesn't sell properly.

keepalived is never the answer; if you can run it, your services are by definition crash-only share-nothing or inconsistent by design, or else you wouldn't let keepalived choose wh…

This was really well made and fun to play! Thanks for making it! Makes me want to create a game for CSP where the goal is to "make it right" (some concurrent condition) rather than…

Sometimes even a single person at a keyboard writes tests, even without large development teams.

Let's try another comparison: that to a skilled surgeon. 4+4 years to get GP status, then at least 4 years more to become surgeon; another 2-10 to lead in an operating theatre. Dis…
