It's quite common in the Java world to build a 'fat jar' which is the same idea, all dependencies other than the JVM itself in a single file.

Nothing special on the ES config. Indexes are split up by day and we avoid indexing fields with very high cardinality.

I haven't found ELK to be terribly resource intensive. We're currently loading ~20,000 events / min into an ELK stack that runs on a single m1.xlarge box, we do use redis as a logstash broker to deal with unusually bursty loa

From what I can tell, and I think you can see a bit in the video, when the grid fins ran out of hydraulic pressure they locked full in one direction. The last burn this thing does is often called a 'suicide burn' as there are a co

From what I could gather from building and testing a new desktop a couple months ago AVX instruction loads will trip CPU voltage levels to increase over 'normal' and generate a ton of heat as a result, often throttling if you aren

I prefer that bugs get fixed when found. In my experience the Java way is 'oh, a bug, well, that's a bug defined in the spec so we can't fix it now, we'll make a note for the next version'...5 years pass. The '

That attitude is exactly why I have no interest in working with Java.

I find Java's approach to specs to be one of the worst parts of the ecosystem. I've come across numerous obvious bugs with various Java specced libraries that have been marked `won't fix` because the bug is actually either a

I really enjoyed her talk but I found some parts of it slightly contradictory, although I think it's mostly due to a difference in opinion as to what what is or isn't easier to reason about. A point she made earlier in the talk is

I would imagine the DOE numbers are some sort of average. Considering how un-aerodynamic the average US car is I would guess that number isn't terribly accurate for a vehicle like the roadster.

I got it wrong, not due to lack of logic but due to lack of spending the time to untangle the strange wording. I read it as "Jack is looking at Anne, but Anne is looking at _Jack_." and assumed it was some sort of trick question.

The answer to this, at least for longer strings, is usually 'both'. You'll usually find several sets of series wired runs connected in parallel and sometimes mid run branches.

We use SQS as a buffer at the front of an analytics system. The enqueuing app is written in Java using Dropwizard and Apache Camel. Average message size is probably ~1KB.
