That's really a shame, Cisco buying anyone is often a death knell for the product. Look at their acquisition of security companies like Protego, Stealthwatch, ThousandEyes, and others that languish there, bled into watered down features for other dubious Cisco products and disappear into the ocean. Customers then abandon the products to again escape Cisco for other non-stagnant and overpriced products.

Already a customer/friend at a $6B retail customer of mine sent me the link first thing as a Splunk owner there. Just last week I asked if they'd looked at Datadog much yet, and said they'd rip Splunk from their cold dead hands. The follow up to the link for buyout news as that they were going to start looking at Datadog now. Splunk was already expensive, but not Cisco expensive.

Everyone cares about their privacy especially those who claim not to. What they really mean is they don't care for the privacy of others.

In effect you are claiming rights over them rather then having that right. That's pretty bad

I use NeoVim. I used Vim previously and just know the built in basics very well.

NeoVim incorporating Lua as a first class language has allowed plugin authors to build plugins that are faster and better than plugins for Vim written in VimScript (or other languages like python/typescript which are much slower).

There is a strong community for neovim on reddit, youtube, etc and plugin authors do a nice job of building tools that work with each other.

Setting it up I agree is a pain, but once done its very little maintenance/work. Even when I've had to 'redo' my setup (eg switching package managers like vim plug to packer to lazy) its been easy and under 15 or so minutes.

I edit minor things in my config every few months. Everything flows quite nicely now and breaking changes are far less common than they used to be (at least among the plugins I use).

Show HN: My Single-File Python Script I Used to Replace Splunk in My Startup
My immediate reaction to today's news that Splunk was being acquired was to comment in the HN discussion for that story:

"I hated Splunk so much that I spent a couple days a few months ago writing a single 1200 line python script that does absolutely everything I need in terms of automatic log collection, ingestion, and analysis from a fleet of cloud instances. It pulls in all the log lines, enriches them with useful metadata like the IP address of the instance, the machine name, the log source, the datetime, etc. and stores it all in SQlite, which it then exposes to a very convenient web interface using Datasette.

I put it in a cronjob and it's infinitely better (at least for my purposes) than Splunk, which is just a total nightmare to use, and can be customized super easily and quickly. My coworkers all prefer it to Splunk as well. And oh yeah, it's totally free instead of costing my company thousands of dollars a year! If I owned CSCO stock I would sell it-- this deal shows incredibly bad judgment."

I had been meaning to clean it up a bit and open-source it but never got around to it. However, someone asked today in response to my comment if I had released it, so I figured now would be a good time to go through it and clean it up, move the constants to an .env file, and create a README.

This code is obviously tailored to my own requirements for my project, but if you know Python, it's extremely straightforward to customize it for your own logs (plus, some of the logs are generic, like systemd logs, and the output of netstat/ss/lsof, which it combines to get a table of open connections by process over time for each machine-- extremely useful for finding code that is leaking connections!). And I also included the actual sample log files from my project that correspond to the parsing functions in the code, so you can easily reason by analogy to adapt it to your own log files.

As many people pointed out in responses to my comment, this is obviously not a real replacement for Splunk for enterprise users who are ingesting terabytes a day from thousands of machines and hundreds of sources. If it were, hopefully someone would be paying me $28 billion for it instead of me giving it away for free! But if you don't have a huge number of machines and really hate using Splunk while wasting thousands of dollars, this might be for you.

And the engineer is sitting in the car on the first night and it "wouldn't start," which signals the end of the episode for the day. Were they stranded? Did the car start after a few tries, which would have given a huge hint about the root cause? Surely the engineer who had reproduced the issue would quickly narrow it down by running diagnoses on the car itself.

But the family dynamics are the most improbable part here. How does the family have this predictable routine and not simply stock up on ice cream? The family has enough kids that the consume a whole $unit of ice cream per day. So with that much chaos in the house, how does the dad justify going out for a drive after dinner when the chaos of family multi-tasking (cleanup, chores, homework, bedtime) is at its peak? "Oh, look. Out of ice cream again. I'll be back in a few!"

That's true, and if I were a gambling man I'd probably back the various cancers in that competition anyway, but still these things have a way of changing your outlook in subtle ways.

That coin-flip-at-worst still probably gives one a better than evens chance of falling on the side of the average life expectancy where folks don't live to enjoy a long healthy retirement, for example.

> in the article, you've got people without the disease in question (whatever it is)

Honestly my takeaway from the article, and from a lot of the comments here, is that we should be (but aren't) updating our definition of "disease" for some diseases as our understanding grows.

If you have partially blocked arteries, you're not actively suffering from heart disease, but it's normal to give that person drugs and advise lifestyle changes as soon as that's detected. You don't wait for them to have a heart attack.

Of course, the cause and effect is much better understood with heart attacks and isn't at all clear with ALS. But the fact that ALS doctors were bewildered that someone might want to take prophylactic measures says to me that they have some blinders on.

Imagine getting some tests done, learning your coronary arteries are 60% blocked and your LDL levels are at the 98th percentile, and having a cardiologist tell you "Don't think about it for now, come back once your heart stops beating".
Oh that’s very interesting!

>Configuration files usually are only read by one piece of code.

Having a single source of truth and multiple services and scripts needing the same info means the same configuration file will get to be read by many pieces of code, even from different languages.

And that's without considering piecemeal migration of the same "one piece of code" running on different services to another language or a version two design, still needing to read the same file.

>IMO, configuration file formats should only ever have text as primitive type. Anything else should be defined in another layer. I completely agree with that part of the argument from the article.

I mean, that's not even wrong.

Except if you mean "they should not be binary". Then, sure.
It's difficult but you can certainly budget for some truly ridiculous scenarios.

e.g. what happens if you get 20 MILLION installs in a single month?

Answer: You pay $400k with a Pro licence, $200k for Enterprise. Which sucks if you are only bringing in 400k/yr revenue, but with 20M installs this is what you call 'a good problem to have.'
As a 60 year old C and Fortran coder since ~1980 or so, and who has spent the better part of the last decade supporting compilers and their internals, I say it makes a big difference when it comes to autovectorization optimizations.

What makes you think it's an excel mistake? I didn't see anything particularly suggestive in the article itself, so perhaps you know more than is mentioned?
I never understood the logic of not using something because it's difficult to switch away from it.

If I need to program, I just copy my Emacs configuration to that machine. I have never encountered a situation where I'm forced to use stock Emacs, or someone else's Emacs configuration. If I need to make a quick edit from the CLI, using plain Vim is fine, but I feel more "at home" with my own tweaks. None of these things are hurdles that would make me settle for an editor that someone else has preconfigured for me.

At the end of the day, this will depend on how important you find customizing your working environment to your liking. If you're fine with someone else making that decision for you, you'd probably find the stock configuration, or someone else's configuration, acceptable. If OTOH you have strong opinions about the way you want to use your editor, then the time and effort invested in configuring it and managing that configuration is not an issue.

This goes beyond just text editors, and applies to computing in general. Some people are fine with using stock software as it comes from the manufacturer. Most software, in fact, is not deeply configurable. Apple devices and software are wildly popular despite lacking configuration. But the reason we choose operating systems like Linux, and text editors like Vim and Emacs is precisely because they give us the freedom to use our computers in the way we want to use them, not as someone else thinks we ought to.

Application "bloat" is one obvious thing, but operating systems are also doing a lot more "work" to open an app these days -- address space randomization, checking file integrity, checking for developer signing certs, mitigations against hardware side channel attacks like rowhammer or whatever, etc.

Those things aren't free. But, I don't know the relative performance hit there compared to good old software bloat.

> I'm curious what tech salaries are like in bonafide EU tech standouts like Spotify.

Usual mid-high end of Swedish tech salaries in Sweden. Not sure about the USA.

> But a big part of the issue is that companies simply couldn't afford to double their salaries because they aren't as profitable as US tech giants

I don't understand why there's always a comparison to US's salaries, the US is the outlier in every discussion about labour and salaries, almost nowhere else in the world (maybe except for Switzerland and similar countries) pays such high salaries, the rest of the world won't pay as much as the USA, it's a fact, I'd prefer to stop comparing everywhere else to that outlier, it won't be the rule.

It's the top benchmark and it has a huge cost in terms of quality of life for a chunk of the population, the USA is a business-first, citizenry-after kind of society, I don't feel it's a way of being that other countries should emulate. At least after living there for a while I never really felt that it was so rich, it has loads of rich people with shiny toys but society in general feels poor: infrastructure sucks (passing by any airport in the USA is a trip back to the 80s/90s), stuck with the car-centric mentality from the 50s, a very palpable huge divide between rich and poor, etc.

The USA has amazing businesses, and makes a lot of money, but I don't think it trickles down into society; given how rich the country is in nominal terms I'm always surprised whenever I pass by and realise that wealth is not translated into a better general quality of life for most citizens, it's just that people can afford to buy more trinkets...
This is a big problem in North Carolina, especially in the exurbs surrounding the Triangle (Raleigh / Durham / Chapel Hill / Cary / Apex / Holly Springs / Clayton / Zebulon / etc). Developers have no problem buying land and building new neighborhoods, and even funding the initial road & utility construction/connections, but in a number of cases already (in neighborhoods less than ten years old) there have been issues where infrastructure required expensive repairs or updates and the developer claimed their contracts washed their hands of it, and that the HOAs hold responsibility for maintenance. I sincerely doubt the majority of home buyers in these neighborhoods would have expected to be on the hook to maintain sewer/water & electrical infrastructure, not to mention roads, sidewalks and signage.

we have a large splunk install, and a lot of the comments regarding cost are a bit dated. The reason that cost for splunk is generally considered quite crazy is that it's based off number of messages or lines in logs, however to combat large institutions such as mine saying no way they've moved at least here to an amount of data that is actively queried and we sign up to say 500tb and as long as we stay within that its all good. It's still a lot of money don't get me wrong but they've changed the setup from the early days.

This won’t make more money available for supporting old devices, it’ll just make the long term profitability of any device significantly lower and therefore less competition and innovation.

> So, it's not a hypervisor

No. I disagree for reasons you refuse to respond to.

> qemu

Thanks for acknowledging you were a liar.

> Proxmox is still not a hypervisor.

I’ve already acknowledged why I see why you think this, because you want to strictly define the line at KVM. I, and many others, disagree with you.

In fact, general Google consensus also disagrees with you. Please, change https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxmox_Virtual_Environment and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervisor if this is the biggest hill you must die on.

Your weird pretense that Proxmox is not capable of deploying VMs is objectively wrong. How does it do it? Via KVM - an integral component of Proxmox.

Since you’re a brick wall who can’t see nuance, understand conventional definitions, or even give the slightest amount of understanding to another point of view, then there’s no reason to keep talking with you.

given that the road wasn't blocked of I suspect/speculate is that the local government wasn't reporting the bridge as broken for whatever reason and in turn it wasn't listed as broken with the state department responsible for infrastructure
