Roguelazer elsewhere, but someone stole my name here. Which is lame.

Unix nerd born into the wrong era. Strong suspicions that most of what happens on this site is useless "newer-is-better" groupthink.

rglzr··on Yelp rebuilds corrupted Cassandra cluster using its data streaming architecture
Yelp's main database was a couple of MySQL clusters (several TB of total data) for almost all of the company's existence, but they've always had a penchant for architecture astronomy. The ad system had the most justification for novel data architectures historically (when I was there, it was generating and processing tens of terabytes of data per day via Hadoop/EMR, which was new and cool, and I'm sure it's at least an order of magnitude mode than that now).
rglzr··on Ask HN: Mandatory gov't fingerprinting for parents in California?
This is normal for interacting with small children without being directly supervised by a licensed professional. You'll also need to get a TB test and, depending on how much time you're spending with the kids, may need to take some anti-sex-abuse training. AB506 is the relevant bill; you can read it at https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml... .
rglzr··on Surprising things that CSS can animate (2020)
Interesting how so many of these didn't work in Safari in 2020, but all of them do now. Good progress for interoperability, I guess.
rglzr··on Ask HN: What is a decent tool for patch review
Phabricator has a fork called Phorge that’s just spinning up, fwiw, and hopefully will keep the project going.
