Yea, the deal is not yet closed, but assuming no regulatory hold up (think new relic is public, so if pixie is worth enough, they'll need to go through HSR) or similar stuff, they agree that the acquisition will go through.

It's extremely quick to do it there as well. Originally, bpf was created to replace tcpdump with a quicker less impactful alternative. People saw that it was a pretty neat alternative so they started extending it (the e in eBPF). Think they might have finally come round again and just call it BPF now again.

These iovisor guys write some cool stuff that uses bpf, like: https://github.com/iovisor/kubectl-trace

What is the strategy to get to profitability then? Have only heard of the self driving route before.

Has there been any progress on the zfs on linux Linus disagreement front since this article?

Yep, it is.

Yes, I absolutely agree that there is a problem with greed, ego and hubris in sillicon valley. Just wanted to point out that not all engineers fall in that category. I think that confidence in writing solid software when paired with humility can lead to good outcomes. To me, it seems like the ego and hubris issue can cause the most amount of problems when an individual (e.g. zuckerberg) takes on a savior and machiavellian complex. It seems like most of them actually believe that they are making the world better and they don't see the harm that their self interested blood thirsty capitalist side does at all.

Believe it or not, there are some engineers that have worked at faang companies that are not sloppy and I work with a few of them.

I usually avoid scripting in bash or sh and use python instead on the linux side. But yea, powershell is a pretty solid shell and seems more intuitive than bash/sh. The object oriented part is pretty awesome and lets you introspect objects easily so you know what kind of properties and methods are available.

Brendan Gregg (the guy that gave that talk that the article linked to) wrote an extremely awesome book called systems performance. It is the best and most pragmatic operating system book I've read and is definitely worth a read. It will give you a better idea about how all of this eBPF stuff applies.

Originally BPF aka the Berkeley packet filter was written to provide a faster/more lightweight alternative to tcpdump. People realized it was an awesome idea, so they started adding more functionality and it became eBPF/extended berkeley packet filter.

Yea, agreed.. they definitely could assuming someone does something stupid and exposes keys with access to everything. But this removes the barrier of needing to have a tiny bit of technical knowledge to do it. I think pastebin post with the cloudnuke url, keys, and a stolen credit card would look pretty appetizing for bored people. I'm not saying this shouldn't exist exactly.. maybe some kind of additional identity verification would make it less scary tho.

kind of terrifying.. wonder how long until a script kiddy finds some access/secret keys in github or somewhere else and kills a company.

Memory is graph based, not a dictionary of key/value pairs. You learn and retain information more easily by making many connections to information.

what part of vault, consul, terraform or any of their other tools makes any of them a thin wrapper around linux?

A slow reply... but I didn't read that article, I was assuming it was the same one from this pilot's testimony on joe rogen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eco2s3-0zsQ

The pilot was saying that the ship had been picking up unknown objects on radar for a while before that experience.

Apparently they were being picked up on radar as well tho.

I'm definitely extremely skeptical about whether or not its true, but the theory being argued for the nimitz sighting is that it bends space in front of and behind the craft for propulsion, but not sure what that would mean for sonic booms. It's kind of like putting a bowling ball on a bed and pushing your hand down in front of the ball and pulling up on the bed behind it to move the ball. Again, I'm very skeptical about it.. but it seems potentially plausible. This joe rogan episode where he interviews a navy pilot was pretty interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eco2s3-0zsQ

Windows terminal preview is another option. It has tabs and is configurable.

Think it'd be worth trying on wsl2 again. The first version was too slow to use, but I am loving wsl 2 now. The integration between windows and the wsl2 vm is a lot more seamless than it used to be. You can navigate the c drive from the wsl shell and also do stuff like `explorer.exe .` to open a windows folder app in the current wsl directory. The vscode integration is amazing as well. After using a mac for many years, it took me about a week to be sold on using a windows laptop from here on out.
