The dependency array strikes me as far safer and more reliable, but it has been a bit of a foot gun for a lot of people. I still encounter code where dependencies are missing, which virtually never makes sense or should be intentional. I suppose the compilation step that’s proposed would address that, but it’s yet to be seen.

There does seem to be an aspect to modern react where it’s great if you’re willing to put in the effort to figure out all the quirks, but for everyone else who just wants to get things done/has other priorities, it’s a bit of a minefield at times.

ya as someone else already noted - Splunk is not for you
After paying Vultr way too much for my personal toy OpenBSD hosting, let me share my host TinyKVM [1] as a happy customer. Obviously look at the terms, they clearly recommend not using it for any critical purposes. It's a service offered by RAM Host [2], based in Dallas.

A bit out of the blue, I'll say that I'm also a happy customer of MXroute [3], which are also in Texas. I like these folk's no-nonsense approach. I can only think of SpongeBob's friend Sandy, and the experience have reinforced this stereotype :) No affiliation, I'm sorry for this regional digression, have never been to Texas unfortunately, but good job, guys!

Oof don’t love that! I’ll test with FF later today.
Building splunk has become very democratised in today's day and age.

Back in the day, logging, metrics, event collection etc. was a hard problem that they solved. Esp. when there weren't any simple distributed storage operators.

They have been a cockroach in the orgs, surviving every downturn. As a dev, you might hate it, CISO and CIOs love it. Orgs, often mandate it. The way they dominated the market is via creating CEF formats, integrations. It is more than a logging solution right now. It is an XDR, threat analysis platform etc.

This acquisition is going to be interesting with app dynamics+splunk and others, it feels like there is a larger play here for Cisco.

I don't think the value that splunk have is transitive to ES or grafana. It is, its own thing.
But now that we have it, what are we trying to optimize?

So, somebody succeeded running OpenBSD/ARM64 in someone else's stock pre-configured VM. Great!

But what about some bigger targets - e.g. running OpenBSD ARM64 on a stock bare-metal server provided by some dedicated hosting company, not necessarily Hetzner?
What do you mean when you say these companies are offering credit cards? Aren't those cards still managed by Visa, Mastercard, AMEX, or Discover? My understanding is that they're just running the rewards system and putting their name on the card.
Hahaha this is what my brain went to immediately as well
It basically is a static distribution of an application.

The benefits are that, you don’t need to be on a specific version of anything to make this work properly.

For what it’s worth, flatpaks do share dependencies as much as possible. So that inflated size isn’t going to be replicated for each application.

Also, flatpak _is_ a proper distribution. It doesn’t really do anything fancy other than isolate the dependencies from other tools on your system.
> Do you mean non-json types? Because the supported types seem pretty straightforward. (besides perhaps supporting null bytes in strings in things like postgresql)

What is a "number"? Is it a float? int? short? double? BigDecimal?

What about time values? Or dates? Oh, you have to just shove those into strings and hope both sides agree? That's fun.

> Care to explain? This has always seemed like one of jsons strengths. The syntax for what is valid is pretty straightforward.

One example is the json "spec" on json.org does not allow trailing commas yet many parsers do

I also found it hard to read; I wanted to know how one might use this thing, but instead I learned all about channels, "wings", backplanes, and saw a lot of tables and photos that seem to be largely duplicates. An entire page (out of 5 pages) was dedicated to examining the development system.
I don't disagree but it should proportional with strings attached.

In a civilised society nobody should starve to death or die because they can't afford healthcare.

But neither of these things should come without any strings. These people only exist because we fortunately live in a society where most of the rough edges are nerfed out.

That doesn't mean we should be accepting or normalising this. It should be frowned upon and be something not to be proud of.

Something like:

You are poor.
Your living off other people.
You provide less than zero value to society.

However, heres a path to redemption: If you commit to XYZ we will assist you in your journey to becoming worthy of participating in civilised society.

If you chose to not commit then society reserves the right to forsake you.

P.S. Lol I know this post is going to get downvoted to oblivion probably even flagged. Deep down you guys know I'm right but you'd rather live in a world with compounding dysfunction than accept uncomfortable truths.
What makes you think hyperinflation is coming? If anything, inflation seems to have peaked and is now starting to fall. The only way I can see hyperinflation happening is if there’s another major conflict, climate change causes some major simultaneous disasters, or some kind of black swan event like another pandemic. Of course, individual countries might see hyperinflation if they’re mismanaged (e.g Argentina right now) but I can’t see it happening globally except in the cases listed above.
That same page claims that disabling secure boot is no longer necessary (though most users are in fact used to it by now). It very much seems like the feature does actually just work in most cases.
> I believe the idea is that the big customers are interested because everyone is raving about it. If you price out the smaller customers, there's nobody to rave about it.

That's not how enterprise procurement works, which is what makes the big bucks for companies like Akamai and Splunk.

Cloudflare traditionally targeted mid-market and is in the process of building out an upper market/enterprise motion (I worked with the guy they hired to lead that in a previous role).

Frequent flyer programs can be seen as bribery.

Here is the thing. Often, when travelling for work, the company pays for the flight, but the traveler get the points, the traveler can then use the points for personal travels.

Maybe the frequent flyer programs are worth more than the business of flying planes, but without business travel expenses, my guess is that you wouldn't have these bank-like frequent flyer programs. As the article mentions, these are just kickbacks.
Humorous newsletters can be a fantastic way to break up the monotony of the daily email grind. Some of my favorites include "The Daily Bonnet" for satire and "The Oatmeal" for quirky humor.

How does hyperinflation even work in a country like the United States, in an age like ours?

If you needed a wheelbarrow of cash to buy break at the bakery, it was still true that there was a tiny downward pressure from the baker in that the bread would eventually rot, so he might as well sell it now if they were just shy of the asking price.

If everyone's buying household goods off of Amazon, their pricing algorithm will never be even that much forgiving.

When it last happened here, many workers were still being paid in cash as soon as the timeclock whistle went off on Friday. Now everything's direct deposit, but not necessarily instantaneous. At my last job, the funds were released at midnight that payday, but with the current job for some reason they're not released until the morning (business open, I imagine).

Are people going to starve, because they have the wrong bank and the money's not there for several hours before everyone else's and it has lost too much value?
The same argument applies to the users of the software though, and seeing that played out is even more rare.

If I can run a $0 tool that saves 100 people half an hour a month each because the workflow is better, that's $4k in the "pro" column right there. I should be able to justify spending a day a week on just that one product.
I don’t think either of those titles imply fault.

Similarly, if you saw Johnny or Suzy crying on the playground, you might ask, “what’s the matter?” That’s not implying they did something bad, it’s asking what hurt them or upset them, in a slightly colloquial way.

I think jumping straight to “why are they implying this is men’s fault” is, ultimately, the perspective you’re already bringing to a very benign article title, and the fact you reacted immediately that way instead of assuming good intentions and reading a bit of the content is a reflection on how some folks have decided that “toxic masculinity”, for instance, is a vile attack on men instead of a descriptor for vile things perpetuated on men.
You are overlooking a lot. Then and today.

The ancients were not just the famous Greek, Roman, Babylonian, Indian and Chinese philosophers, who made progress in reasoning.

Human's across every culture have spun creative explanations for natural phenomena, going back as far as we have any records.

- Why does it rain? How can we make it rain?

- What are the planets? What do their cycles and alignments mean?

- What is an illness? How do we avoid it? Cure it?

Even those philosophers were not immune to this kind of thinking.

Non/Pre-scientific answers to unanswerable questions gave satisfied people’s need for order and gave them hope.

Today, many people still take such answers seriously where there is no science (afterlife, cosmic justice, ...), and even where there is (astrology, crystals, etc.)
That's the notable exception. I use that thing daily. I don't think it gets much love, but still good piece of software.
when i said "do everything in their power to keep me alive" then that was probably a bit to strong. i meant do everything that is also needed for everyone else. special treatment that takes an unreasonable effort is not the same thing.

if the resource is so limited that it really isn't enough for everyone, then it obviously can not be given to everyone. but if everyone needs it, then they still have a right to it. we then just have to figure out how to deal with those that miss out.

a more practical example: a sinking ship, and the rescue boat can not fit everyone. while it is a human right for everyone to be rescued, some will have to stay behind.

but, that doesn't change that there was a human right violated. in either cases we really do need to do everything in our power to rescue these people or find ways to extend the use of the water.

lack of resources does not abolish our obligation to do the best we can to change that, find alternatives, etc.

a better medicine example: covid. everyone needs that vaccination (ignoring those who don't want it) so it becomes a human right to get access to it. no matter the cost.

we can not abolish a right to something that everyone needs just because there is not enough of it.
I have a formal CS education, although I've hired a bunch of people without. I'm just saying, a Harvard CS degree tells me either you're extremely bad with money, or you (or your parents) are more interested in social signalling than a thorough education.

You also seem to be missing that the content associated with the certificate can be fine, but the validation process broken enough that the certificate per se (and therefore listing it on a resume) is worthless.

If you're looking for an open-source alternative to MinIO for object storage, you might want to consider projects like Ceph and OpenIO. Ceph offers scalable and high-performance storage, while OpenIO focuses on an object storage solution with a decentralized approach. Both have active communities and can be suitable options depending on your specific requirements. It's worth exploring their features to see which aligns best with your needs.
Bribery, or tax evasion.
That's the thing. A few people do, and enough people have seen that first or second hand to recognize a kernel of truth in the bullshit the article is peddling. The article then just uses a few stats to bully the average person's perceived ability to push back on the BS and spins a narrative to fill the void they just opened up in your mind. It's likely to "succeed" despite being extremely probably wrong.
Why wouldn't you just use Graylog Free Edition?

While it doesn't compete with Splunk, IMHO, it's much easier and much better than what 1,200 lines of Python could conjure up. Dashboarding and all. I love it and use it in a very large enterprise environment.
They're definitely making money: You pay them the full amount of the gift card upfront, in exchange for coffee later. That's an interest-free loan to Starbucks, and these have a monetary value these days!

> They "make" money when you leave a balance on the card.

In many US states, the money interestingly goes to the state in the end when unused, under a common law doctrine that doesn't exist in many other countries:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escheat

In that case, there is no breakage income for the gift card issuer, but the interest free loan, together with people's tendency to spend higher total amounts at the same merchant when using gift cards, still makes them an amazing deal to the issuer.

I suspect that there's also a non-negligible benefit being exploited in the form of differences in subjective value between gifter and giftee: In a nutshell, the gifter spends more money than they normally would at a store they frequent, or viewed from the giftee's perspective, they spend "money" at a company they normally wouldn't.

Partially, but Splunk has been on the market for sometime actually. Also, large companies that compete with Cisco like CRWD, PAN, etc have been building out SIEM capabilities, as has Cisco, though Cisco being Cisco it didn't get the attention needed.
I'm not entirely sure that intel is in the best position to make consumer grade specialty "AI" PC because they make CPUs not GPUs. Maybe that's a bad interpretation on my end since intel has afforded graphics for computers without a dedicated GPU.

Side note: as a hobbyist game dev I've learned about shaders. A shader is simply a program written for a GPU. In game dev we talk about shaders for graphics output but one can write generic shaders too (look up GPGPU). My eyes were opened to the concept that there are programs written for CPU and programs written for GPU.

A CPU typically has <=12 cores and each core computes very quickly. A GPU typically has <=1024 cores and each core computes quickly (but not as quick as a CPU core). It follows that a program ideal for a GPU is one that benefits massive parallelization. I'm still noodling on what that ideal program could be, outside of the obvious graphics processing.

Brings to mind when I first learned TOPS-20 Emacs in law school (long story), circa 1980-81: A few of the CS grad students tolerantly looked down on Emacs as a crutch for newbies, because any real programmer would use TECO instead ....

(IIRC, that version of Emacs was written as a collection of TECO macros.)

It's crucial for AI companies to monitor their systems in production continuously. Not only does this ensure the system's performance and reliability, but it also helps in identifying and addressing any issues or biases that may arise.

Many AI companies use a combination of real-time monitoring, automated alerts, and regular audits to maintain the quality and fairness of their AI systems. It's an ongoing process that plays a vital role in responsible AI development.

Splunk is ridiculously expensive even on an enterprise level
Nvidia Says Native Resolution Gaming Is Out, DLSS Is Here to Stay
Dunno why you're getting downvoted from this. All that deregulation did increase America's GDP, but at the cost of income inequality and lack of real wage growth for most.

If you're lucky enough to get into a profession for upper-middle class people, you'll be in good shape (like most of the people on this forum). Most people don't make it. Perhaps that's where the downvotes come from, is the tendency of people to think subconsciously, "I did it; everyone else can too, it's not that hard".
In the spirit of generosity, you might conclude that the parent commenter simply has their wires crossed, and has cases involving for-profit schools like University of Phoenix confused with real universities.

> It's also possible to append a query key

Unless you are actually serving different versions based on this key you can run into issues here. If the user loads version 1 of the page but some point later tries to request /script.js?v=1 but you have deployed version 2 in the meantime they will get the new version which may not be compatible. (also note that every time they request a script it will be "some point later" compared to the HTML file)

This is becoming more of an issue with lazy-loading single-page applications where they will load the script next routes as you click on them. This means that it may be many minutes between the original page load and the load of the next script.

Of course maybe that is better than a 404 like most of these providers provide with a different file name, but the 404 may be easier to catch and handle with a true reload.
