   I'm guessing that the pain points surrounded having to set up a Zookeeper cluster in conjunction with Pulsar. I think Pulsar has the best model of the various queuing systems at the moment for the routing flexibility of RabbitMQ, the h

   I worked on NServiceBus years ago (not just used, but actually was an active developer on the project). It's an excellent piece of software and Udi Dahan really knows what he's talking about.

   NATS by itself is designed to be more of an always-on style queuing system (the term they use is "dial tone") but doesn't handle node failures by itself. If you're looking for a Kafka-flavored NATS, there's a new re

   I'm an active Go user and I've been working almost exclusively in Go since 2011. I have a feeling that over time, the number of knobs on Go will increase much like it has in Java. I'm trying to think back to my first experien

   @agallego I just signed up on your wait list through the vectorized.io website. I'm super interested in this project.

   Someone is adding journaling to the NATS protocol to make it Kakfa like: https://liftbridge.io/ It was just released as v1.0 a few weeks ago.

   I wrote a blog post years ago on the subject of leaving .NET: https://blog.jonathanoliver.com/why-i-left-dot-net/ My blog post got quite a bit of heat (both for and against). In the years that followed I actually had s

   That's exactly what I'm using. You are correct that it works flawlessly. In some cases the experience is actually smoother than the native 1Password Mac app. There's a few small bits around working with items and managing mul

    I tried Bitwarden years ago and still have an account. It's very much on my radar. I installed the desktop app last week to try it out.

    I'm a backend developer but after switching for Windows to Mac (and from C# to Go) about 8 years ago, I recently (in the last 6 months) adopted an almost exclusive Linux-only approach. My MBP has been great but ever since the Touch Bar

    For work I've got an Arch-based desktop and a MacBook Pro 15". I'm almost exclusively on my desktop (lots of CPU horsepower and tons of RAM) and I use Zoom about 5-6 hours per day. I used the Zoom 4.x binary as well as now th

    I'm surprised by the down votes. I still find it intriguing that during an outage the SRE handbook floats to the top.

    I'm wondering if this has floated to the top of HN because of the recent GCP outages (both a few days ago and from this morning). I'm trying to figure out if this is coincidental or ironic. NOTE: As a heavy user of GCP we we'

    Oh! That's awesome. The way that sentence is written is a little tricky to parse, but the behavior of a batching lots of messages (configurable 256MB+ chunks) is exactly what I'm hoping for.

    I love this. This is a property already baked into another messaging queuing system called Pulsar and I've thought about writing my own for internal use (maybe to be open-sourced). The only quirk that I see is this link in the project

    Aiven has been pretty cool for me to quickly set up clusters of things like Kafka or Postgres among others to do various tests with. I have really enjoyed them.

    I was referring to an effort during the years around 1993-1995. I was in a 3rd world country doing humanitarian work from 1999-2000 where I had no internet access so the email chain referenced by Snopes is new to me. If I recall, the idea r

    This reminds me of the time in the mid-90s when the USPS wanted to charge the price of a stamp for "email". I believe this was because the word mail was used in electronic mail.

    My thoughts exactly. This will push everyone to use WhatsApp or other 3rd-party tools. An unintended consequence of this would be less SMS spying by government agencies.

    A false negative has zero realized cost. I would say there's missed opportunity cost.
