is there a better way then bloom filters to handle needle in the haystack type searches where the haystack might be terabytes of data and you only want a few lines?

people have seemed to forget that there were some people in LA that use to walk outside in gas masks due to all the air pollution.

if op was working at Meta for 10 years and they started at 2013 they probably have more then enough money stashed away to not worry about bills for a few years.

they are planning to allow you to run your logs in your own datacenter/cloud and put something like a proxy there or being built into quickwit that your logs show up in the datadog UI

My guess is you will be billed per gig or something but not nearly the cost of shipping your logs to DD

too many people and not enough land in areas where people don't have to drive 3 hours to work.

Want pricing to go down then we need to build more dense housing even an hour drive from the city. The days of wanting a big backyard are coming to an end for most home owners.

you can use the vscode cline to give a task and it uses a LLM to go out and create the app for you.

In django i had it create a backend, set admin user, create requirements.txt and then do a whole frontend in vue as a test. It even can do screen testing and tested what happens if it puts a wrong login in.

does anyone use this?

I'm really starting to get sick of companies that claim they operate at petabyte at scale and find you need to spend 400k a month to support that scale.

solar costs keep shrinking and then you have power companies like SDGE that want to punish solar owners based on their salary and set a $125 min cost to be connected to the grid

New comment by hijinks in "Show HN: LogsQL – opinionated query language for logs"

hijinks — Sat, 25 May 2024 20:45:25 +0000

Take a look at quickwit. Its basically a clone of elasticsearch but in rust.

I have around 380 TBs of logs currently in s3 and have sub 1s searches for needle in the haystack searches. It handles all that with just 5 search nodes running on kubernetes with 6gig of RAM each.

I'm ingesting around 20TBs of logs a day on it.

If you want to pay for a saas then pganalyze is like $400 a month for 4 dbs is a pretty good pricing model

its a lot of warm moisture that comes up the coast from the southeast and slams into cold air from canada and can drop a lot of snow/wind. It can cause bad storms in the ocean and high seas.

noticed you mentioned speed.. That's probably why you are going through tires so fast.. ya EVs go through tires a lot faster but if you drive fast and more so accelerate fast then you will really go through tires

I was quoted 10k a head unit to install mini-splits in a home in the colorado mountains. I needed 8 head units.

It was nothing but "only rich people are buying these right now so lets cash in" pricing
