go ask 100 random people across the world and I bet less than 20 will know both those company names.

I'm confused, isn't a self-hosted cloud something like openstack or kubernetes?

It's also very convenient to not have to remember a bunch of extra combos or perform the gymnastics to press them, especially if you need other modifiers too like shift+pgup, shift+ctrl+pageup, etc

Tracker is a lightweight document and work-tracking system designed around three goals: 1. *Totally self-hosted and 100% private*: I run it over ZeroTier to connect my systems, but Tailscale or just your personal LAN works great as well. 2.

internal reports from current AWS engineers seem to be confirming all of the speculation in this article. Shit's rotten from the inside out and you can pretty evenly blame AI, brain drain, and good old fashioned "big company poli

Peering is an option as well but it's a whole different ballgame of complexities to set up vs. private link

I'm surprised this take isn't gaining more ground in these discussions. people keep talking about how "this is what all these Americans want" - bologna I say. They're just voting how they've been programmed to

Wonder if you'll regret your vote when we find ourselves headed more than ever towards a true fascist dictatorship.

Assuming you're arguing in good faith, here is the transcript from someone who was in the room with Trump when he was saying all of this: > He's looking for obedience. This is the thing that shocks him about American generals a

just curious if you think that the rhetoric from trump and his followers is not only hurtful, but also incredibly violent. like how he said he wishes he had Hitler's generals so he could just have democrats or others who disagree with

Agreed. I'm also a bit frustrated that he never tuned vertica in his test of it - he just loaded the data into the default superprojection and queried it like that. Nearly all of vertica's power comes from its concept of project

Of course, the key to any successful implementation of end-to-end exactly-once processing lies in the fact that you USE the kstreams APIs - including all semantics around "consumption is completed up to offset X"

Absolutely, we used store-and-forward semantics when I used Kafka at a previous company to guarantee zero message loss (for data getting into kafka). Now that kafka streams provides exactly once semantics, you're in an even better spot

Genuine question - Why does everyone seem to think running a zookeeper cluster is so hard? You can run it on three small VMs and basically forget about it. We didn't have any zookeeper experience at my last startup before we started

re: client support - I dunno, this seems like a pretty comprehensive list to me? I mean, there's even a rust client: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Clients
