Kafka is not a task queue. Well, it is, but it's also an extremely scalable distributed schemaless persistent data store; probably that trait differentiates it from other fast commit logs.

Don't buy a cheap TV for programming if you're not constrained by money. You can get 40" monitors for a bit more, and you won't need to fight the firmware and also you can get a better panel. Also, PWM is worse if you&#x

How's ChromeOS better than Windows? It's proprietary, and on the top of that, it directly relies on an external service. Google spends a lot on lobbying, by the way, afaik more than what Microsoft is spending.

I don't think you're right. Linux containers will keep running inside VMs (How else could they run? WSL isn't there yet and probably never will be.)

by sz4kerto 9y ago
It is running as a Hyper-V VM. HV containers don't share the kernel with the host if they're running Linux; they are actual lightweight VMs.

This is a major update as now the Docker daemon runs as a Windows process, not as a Linux process. One VM/container is also a huge change. Before this, you had to manage a single VM that runs all the containers, allocate memory and CPU

What are we doing wrong? We use Prometheus for many things, for example I'd like to know how specific latencies have changed over time. Why should I store these numbers somewhere else?

Seek time is not relevant, our stuff is on SSDs. Thanks for the link, I've known about the transition feature.

Downtime would be acceptable I think, especially because we could just launch a separate instance of Prom while the main one is being migrated.

No good migration story for existing data, that'll hurt us quite a lot. :(

That's probably because you've used Confluence. If you used something else, then that'd have been the huge hole. Confluence is a very good wiki. There's no wiki that creates good structures for you automagically.

Many people like C#/F# more than Javascript (and it's derivatives).

Not unspeakable at all. We're talking about a (few) hundred man-years, tops (probably less than that, depending on how strict you are). Ubuntu devs have mentioned in the past that Mir could have been finished with an extra $1M (which i

No proper hidpi support. Gnome3 doesn't support fractional scaling, so if you need smtg like 125% scaling, then you're out of luck. (Example: 4k 32" displays need this.)

But the thing is that as a developer, it doesn't matter what you start with - you have both and you're using compose files, etc. So Docker is trying to make the orchestrator less relevant now, and says that 'don't worry

Seems that people think Docker has gave in, but I am not that sure. If you can switch between Swarm/Kubernetes transparently, then why wouldn't you start with Swarm? (I'm talking about small companies who're just startin
