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 agree that the acquisition will go through.

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 alternative so they started extending it (the e in eBPF). Thin

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

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 confidence in writing solid software when paired with humilit

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 oriented part is pretty awesome and lets you introspect obj

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 system book I've read and is definitely worth a read. It wil

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 adding more functionality and it became eBPF/extended b

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 technical knowledge to do it. I think pastebin post with th

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 was saying that the ship had been

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 propulsion, but not sure what that would mean for sonic b

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 than it used to be. You can navigate the c drive from th
