   This is a nice little CLI tool one of my colleagues recently wrote to simplify managing Kafka clusters. Think of kubectl for Apache Kafka. It's a single binary that can easily be dropped on any server. You can configure one or more clu

   And why is there an e in bureau then? Would burau, buro, burot, burault or bureot be pronounced differently in French?

    But often useful products are shut down because they are not growing fast enough instead of simply letting it run without investing much into it.

    Why would a site that isn't growing be considered dead?

    I wonder what impact CSS-in-JS has on rendering performance and code size. I bet that browsers are very efficient at parsing and applying CSS directives to elements. Parsing and executing the JS and additional DOM manipulations could have a

    Or they are solving other problems and that's the reason why one believes a solution is bad and another one thinks it's the best.

    Are you sure about that? Today I think this is a good model, but I haven't seen it in the wild before.

    I just watched the talk "don't say 'simply'" the other day [1]. You're right, "simply" is wrong here. [1]: https://jameshfisher.com/2018/09/13/dont-say-simply-writethe..

    That's the problem with energy policy and most large industries these days. There's enough money in the market, so you can find a supporting study for every argument you want to make.

    I'd prefer the first version in almost all situations except for a major performance bottle neck. The second version is less clear to the reader and thus likely done wrong.

    The barrier to setting up a "legit" request for permissions for my phishy app is not that high. Yes, you can't phish for Google passwords that way, but you can get access to all other accounts of a person that are not protect

    I'm not sure how APT handles connections, but with a typical browser connections will be reused if requests are made shortly after another. That doesn't mean it's impossible to determine what packages you downloaded. But it w
