Soft mount can lead to data inconsistency, so it's not always a good choice.

> It at least doesn't lock anything up that has a file open when the network goes down. NFS is a nightmare with that. Yeah, we've been bitten by this too, around once a year, even with our fairly reliable and redundant network.

Yeah, it's really dangerous to be sarcastic when you cannot see the other party face to face. If you can't read the situation, even light-hearted jokes can be taken the wrong way and sour the relationship.

It's simple, and the same in all implementations: `Wait some amount of time to allow related events to arrive`. For implementations 4, I suppose it's done by reading only data point with `insert_time < NOW() - some_delays`. I t

I have written Flink pipelines that solved similar problems to this post: sessionization of time-skew data points from multiple sources with variable and possibly large delays; simple and economical is not how I would describe it :) . If on

Very few new projects use Zookeeper now. For older projects, most of them have no issue using Zookeeper, so it's simply not worth the time to rewrite them for etcd.

In some organizations, including mine, toil is sometimes "reduced" by saying "not my problem" and push it to other teams. It sucks to be on the receiving end of it.

It's remarkable how the data pipeline in almost all companies converge to the same architecture: * You have services emit data into streams. * You dump the streams into your storage with high frequency so you can have near real-time re

This `mypyc` sounds too good to be true, I wonder what the catch's.

Nah, global warming due to CO2 is a world wide problem; this is, at best, a regional issue, since the water will be so diluted once it reach the other side of the ocean. Most likely, that this won't be an issue at all.

Using pg_dump for migration of large DB is very difficult due to the downtime it might involve.

They are dumping 1 Million metric tons of water over a period of 30 years. Even if China allow them to dump the water into the Gobi desert, it'd still cost billions of dollar to build and operate the pipeline. It'd never happen.

The Japanese have lots of credits on environmental issues: it's one of the cleanest country I've ever seen, so I'm willing to trust them if they say the waste water dumping plan is safe.

I used to switch SELinux to permissive with the intention of checking and correcting the policies later, only to completely forget about it when other issues get priority. Now I just turn off SELinux and be done with it.

Kdiff3 can absolutely do edit in place: just type directly in the merge output window and save the result as usual.

I've been using kdiff3 for over a decades, it's just so good for a free tool.

Opus can save you a bit of bandwidth for the same sound quality, but if the bit rate is high enough, every codecs sound the same/transparent.

Yeah, it took over a decade to switch from Py2 to Py3 due to the breaking changes it brought. I'd rather not to have such a large change again, ever.

It's mostly for speed, if the tasks are defined separately then a smart CI system can cache the results and avoid rerunning some of them.

You can really build pretty much anything on top of a K-V store, but I would hate to be vendor-locked into Redis ecosystem.

Sad news for Cortex, with most of the maintainer moving on to Mimir, I fear it's pretty much dead in the water.

Yeah, it's kinda inevitable that "the platform" will need rebuilding again and again, because who want to touch that N-1 version that's all yucky and icky.

If you want the dev team to monitor their own apps, you'd better give them good tools to do it, i.e don't expect them to restart the server if you don't give them the power button. I've seen this far too many times.

I've had a USB flash drive failed after only 3 months in the Raspberry Pi before, so now I'm using a SATA-USB cable with a SSD drive, looking good so far.

I'm using Edge because it has excellent vertical tabs UI, better than any other browsers.

Not the full body scanner used by the America's TSA, but the TOEIC testing centers in my country already require candidates to pass through a metal detector when entering the testing room.

I'm not saying the Russian are trying to minimize damage to the city, but Kyiv are well within range of their newer rocket artillery like the BM-30; so if the Russian want to level Kyiv to the ground, they would be able to do it relati
