you just gave every namespace a vector instance that was responsible for that namespace and pods within.

Vector is a daemonset, because it needs to tail the log files on each node. A single vector per namespace might not reside on the nodes that each pod is on.

Government doesn't pick up bills, taxpayers do.

Is this an interesting comment to make? Yeah... the tax payers foot the bill because like we elect the representatives to maintain the government.

Someone in Montana should not have to pay to rebuild homes in California.

Is this a joke? Should I, as a Californian, also be able to say "oh, my tax money? You damn well not send it to Montana to help subside program XYZ that doesn't help me."

No? The person on Threads does not appear to be her husband. They're merely posting a screenshot of her husband's Facebook post.

It's always struck me that these are two wildly different concerns though.

Use metrics & SLOs to help diagnose the health of your systems. Derive those directly from logs/traces, keep a sample of the raw data, and now you can point any alert to the sampled data to help go about understanding a client-facing issue.

But, for auditing of a particular transaction, you don't need full indexing of the events? You need a transactional journal for every account/user, likely with a well-defined schema to describe successful changes and failed attempts. Perhaps these come from the same stream of data as the observability tooling, but I can only imagine it must be a much smaller subset of the 100PB that you can avoid doing full inverse indexes on this, because your search pattern is simply answering "what happened to this transaction?"

Great blogpost and congrats to OP on the success.

As someone who, in a past life, also sold apps on the Mac App Store (with some success), I could never escape the sense of insecurity, whether it be Apple "breaking" (or fixing?) things every WWDC, constant pursuit of the next idea, or potential competition. Not to mention, the fact that sometimes reviews seemed oddly personal and the occasional rude customer support emails could ruin a day. (This all probably says more about my own mental psyche than anything and I'm glad some people thrive in it.)

In the end, I felt more comfortable doing the 9-5 engineering job, but it was definitely worth it and really taught me to be self-sufficient and exploratory in software development.

This is how I play as well, because in my mind it makes it basically just a long, never-evending game of Wordle, which I find slightly amusing.

Though the number of days where I forget the previous day's word is probably too damn high.

A direct e-file, obviously, is great, but I really just want to get a document near the beginning of the year where the IRS tells me what they believe my taxes owed/returned should be. Let me accept/verify or contest it and make everyone's lives easier. Anyone who'd need to contest/change theirs, probably already has an accounting firm handling all this anyways.

Musk SEC Filing 4 years ago

What makes you think Twitter isn't actually providing the data, doesn't want to believe it, and -- in the end -- this is just yet more bluster from Musk?

What is the necessity for a "diverse" culture, as opposed to say a cohesive culture, or at least one that promotes healthy and strong values (such to cultivate healthy, strong people)?

Strange to pit "diverse" against "cohesive" and "healthy and strong values" as if they are opposites.

Yes, Rust is my other option I'm leaning towards. In process of learning it by building a ray tracer, so doing Advent of Code would be another way to get more familiar with it.
