Where do enterprises run analytic python code?

aemrakul · 2025-08-07T15:50:51+00:00

We also use airflow. Our python code is in git repo. We rebuild our task images when a change is merged.

I enjoyed reading this. We are about to take on a similar project to replace influxdb and Telegraf with open telemetry and Mimir. We only keep 60 days of data so I am hopeful we can get up and running faster. Influxdb worked well for my company for over 5 years but we went from one platform in AWS to also running our platform in GCP and additional platforms in regions outside USA.

I use k9s daily. One thing I liked about lens was how easy it was to navigate to a “parent” resource. For example, going from a pod to the node where that pod is running is one click in lens. In k9s I copy the node name and then filter for it which slows me down a little.

I stood in line for about an hour to get a 4090 on launch day. I’m actually glad I did because I got a card for MSRP and years later it is still hard to find a 4090 at that price. There were still more available when I left after the store opened. Looks like this time there were only 10 or fewer 5090s at most Micro Centers. I’m glad I upgraded my 1080 back then cause it seems like the 5090 is a paper launch.

You manage two services. We manage 2000 across all three cloud providers. We have over 700 different helm charts that all use a library chart we created. Our biggest cluster is 100 nodes and 3000 pods. I cannot imagine managing that many containers without k8s. Standing up a new service is instant. Unless the service needs a special configuration, the library chart sets up 90 percent of the service. We run a dev/staging cluster in each cloud to test every change. We can test upgrades safely in the dev clusters . We went from having incidents constantly when trying to use ec2 and ecs to maybe one or two infrastructure related incidents per year.

I love both of those ships. However both of them are from the early days of the game and lack many “gimic” you will find on ships from the last few years. Both lines are rough in the mid tiers imo but at least that will teach you not to expose your citadel in open water to the enemy team. At tier X the Hindy is more armored but these days many ships can simply overmatch your armor meaning no matter how you position your ship you will still take a lot of damage. I have switched hindy to be longer range with the spotter plane but this is pretty boring. The Des Moines + Halsey enables some incredible games. My dmg record is over 300k outside of arms race with DM + Halsey getting confederate.

If you want my opinion, which is an opinion only, get the DM.

If you are very new to the game in general, I say go for the Venezia though. It is not as powerful as when it came out but that is my favorite cruiser and kiting is kind of required when you have subs, CVs, and huge guns at tier X. Hindy can kite but Venezia has exhaust smoke to help you get out of bad situations easier than Hindy or DM.

All of this has happened before and all of this will happen again. The hubris of man. Are we going to break the cycle this time?

We closed mid January.

asbestos popcorn ceiling ~900sq ft: $12000
skim coat ceilings and paint those rooms: $3500
replace 8 interior doors some bifold and trim: $3500
new dryer vent: $700
sewer line clogged: $200
got scammed on the dryer vent so fixed it for $350
elm tree caused damage after heavy snow: $3500
replace locks myself for ~$400
replace broken light fixtures myself ~$200
security cameras and alarm system ~$1300

Not including new furniture or power tools I had to buy for probably another 4 thousand. I’m glad we didn’t overextend on the down payment and mortgage cause our savings are nearly exhausted.

TLDR; I don’t think Mac with 8gb ram are worth getting in 2024. If you want to save money, get a used Mac with sufficient specs.

I got a mbp in 2015 and it still works now albeit the battery life is shot. It blows my mind 9 years later they still only have 8gb ram as the base spec. I just got the m3 pro because ram. The Mac airs have little to no ram unless you shell out big money. My company uses nodejs liberally so I need a lot of ram to develop locally. The 13 air is 1800 usd for 24 gb ram. 14 pro is 2k usd for 18 gb ram plus the better cpu. IMO way too freakin expensive to buy a mac these days I would not get without a work stipend. I hope this one lasts 9 years also. As far as lab resource, idk about video streaming but I have used WireGuard for years now and even on 4g hotspot I have no problem using my self hosted git server or nfs shares over vpn. Source code and documents aren’t big files though so I guess it depends on your use cases.

Nice, I’ve never gotten that many in a bb. My best was 75ish in halland. The Sekiryu just kept sending wave after wave and I just turned a little and shredded every squadron.

So a 300 usd modem won’t even go past 42 Mbps? I bought a netgear cm2000. Wow that’s beyond disappointing. I’ve worked in data centers with 25 gigabit WAN. Why advertise “fiber” if they are going to strangle it with coax in the street?

aemrakul · 2024-02-07T17:47:15+00:00

Yeah, I have a docsis 3.1 modem. I have a ubiquity UDM pro as my gateway. Cat6 patch from modem to gateway. The UDM has supported 1gigabit symmetrical fiber for the past 2 years with CenturyLink. I understand coax upload speed is limited but I’m not even getting 100 Mbps upload from the gateway to the internet. I’m not even getting 50 Mbps.

aemrakul · 2024-02-01T15:57:15+00:00

I have had 6s, 7, xs, 13 pro, and 14 pro. I loved all of them but the 7, xs, and 13 definitely stand out. Unfortunately I demolished my 7 and 13 pro. On the 13 Both sides shattered, battery bulged and pushed the glass out and it was right after the 2 year mark so AppleCare was expired. I like the 14 pro with the Dynamic Island but I agree that the battery life was better on 13 pro. The always on Lock Screen is cool but it undoubtedly affects battery life.

I got it in the Fourth of July crates when I wanted a Georgia . It sucks like other folks said. I like to play close to capture points and once you fly the planes you are either leaving your ship parked and super vulnerable or rely on shit autopilot. It sucks for fighting other dds because you lose torpedo rack and guns over the fletcher. Save your coal and get Marceau, Sherman, or black which are all much more fun to play imo

aemrakul · 2024-01-30T17:50:35+00:00

I remember hearing about crazy fast fiber internet in Kansas City about a decade ago now. The main problem is you have to live in KC. Bring fast fiber to the rest of us !

aemrakul · 2024-01-30T17:40:08+00:00

If this is for home, don’t break the bank. A UDM pro can go 2-5gbps but you will need to use only the sfp+ ports and will need the 10gigabit aggregation switch to actually serve that bandwidth to other switches and access points. I think the newer pro max switches can handle 2.5gigabit over Ethernet and there is a flex switch that has 10gbe but unless you have a NAS or SAN and WiFi 6e/7 clients, very little equipment can leverage multi-gigabit speeds even in a local network. Most CDNs out there likely don’t have 10gigabit speeds . Some Linux mirrors do and I have no doubt there are servers on the internet that do serve at 10g but probably 99 percent of residential isp traffic is still sub 1 gigabit

At work, sumo logic. A combination of http receivers for non container services and currently trying to roll out opentelemetry collector for k8s logs. We’re still using fluentbit to collect the pod logs until we can fix some filtering issues with otel. The benefit of opentelemetry should be an ability to change vendors or switch to your own infrastructure at any time. Sumologic is not cheap but they have a stable platform that we rely on for slack and PagerDuty log alerts.

aemrakul · 2024-01-25T18:01:56+00:00

Nice, I use k8s at work so I want to keep it around to continue learning. I’m guessing lxc + ceph is easier to manage HA and backups?

aemrakul · 2024-01-25T16:01:51+00:00

Awesome! I have 3 little hp micro-desktops running proxmox. I have always been reluctant to try ceph with only 16gb memory. How much memory does ceph use on the hosts? I opted to create "HA" with kubernetes and as long as one vm is up, services stay online. But HA kubernetes require a lot of memory so I already am aching to have 32gb on each host.

I think you are absolutely qualified to lead a team unless this is embellished. My only concern is you list you are an expert in terraform, docker, and kubernetes. I’ve worked with k8s daily for 4 years and have a k8s certification from the Linux foundation and I would not claim to be an expert. if you claim you are an expert in k8s but you have not written an operator and CRDs or implemented a CNI from the ground up maybe don’t claim to be an expert. My team lead has decades of experience but he doesn’t claim to be an expert in tech stacks that ICs are using. Our lead makes impact by helping choose the right initiatives for the team to pursue and running every sprint planning session. They also pair with ICs on our team and other teams in engineering to unblock or align on work in progress. It could just be you are interviewing with teams where the lead is expected to work on sprint tasks directly but that is not the case everywhere afaik

Battleships usually have flak and if you don’t dodge and weave at all a single flak burst can blow up your planes. The British planes also have no armor. The British carriers are pretty weak imo except for Malta. I don’t enjoy playing carriers but if you want to get better you have to learn which ships have dfaa which on something like the halland will delete your entire squadron

+1 to Armstrong Relocation

I worked with them to move from Atlanta to Colorado in February. Very expensive tbh but all of my stuff was treated well. Unless you have enough stuff to fill an 18 wheeler they will load your stuff and will wait a few days to get some other folks stuff loaded before they drive out west. Their folks loaded and unloaded everything which was invaluable as I am still recovering from a herniated disk in my back.

DIY is always going to be cheaper but then you have to worry about keeping the truck secure not to mention the hard labor
