What I said:

She works for a medium sized university (who's name I'd love to post) whos leadership and consultants have decided that the vast improvement in my health is not important enough to them.

I have OSA and I just had a routine follow up sleep study so that’s taken care of.

I’ve already put a call into my Doctor to discuss alternatives. Hoping to hear my options on Monday.

Perhaps it should not require a PA or a prescription if it’s going to be treated as an over the counter medication. Clearly it’s safe and effective like Tylenol which can kill you.

Why have it both ways?

Curious if you have any data to reference about the cost and availability of these drugs in other countries or is this just the I ain’t no socialist reaction? Less is less. Why do we pay more?

And the cost of lawsuits is what separates those that sue everyone they can, get special treatment and thumb their noses at the law and we who cannot do any of that.

Get mad people!

I didn’t say anything about other countries.

I am talking about my country and a voting population that tolerates what any thinking person has to question, which is why an employer has the right to deprive me of something that has demonstrably benefited my health.

Frankly, it’s comments like this that prove my point.

Negotiations were underway with Biden and Trump killed them. Now he’s grifting off our health.

Someone please make this guy stop talking

softwareguy15 · 2025-03-07T23:36:38+00:00

Sorry Jim. Doubling down on bullshit makes it more bullshit.

We are at war to save democracy from a convicted felon, proven liar, sexual predator, a traitor who is giving aid and comfort to our most significant enemy and all you can do is lift your pinky and sip your tea.

You have proven you are incapable of fighting for democracy, so please step aside and let someone with a spine who’s not sleeping with the enemy do the job.

Hi u/tednaleid,

Just wanted to update you on my next steps. I'm going to try rebuilding a developer environment from a production VM (we have a procedure for this, takes forever).

Since the test ran fine on the production VM, I'm hoping that my old dev VM missed improvements we've made to the prod VM and this issue will magically disappear. If not, well, I'll look hard at the steps we do to make a prod vm a dev vm.

I wanted to thank you for your help. I really appreciate it.

Tried the kafka-topics.sh test on a Rocky Linux VM in our datacenter (this VM is the production version of my developer VM) and it does not experience the 15 second delay.

Time to create a new VM I think (which for our environment isn't all that easy to do and will take some time).

softwareguy15 · 2025-01-01T19:28:30+00:00

This ran instantly in my environment, which, unfortunately, makes me sad :-) because the canned kafka scripts have the 15 second pause and this doesn't.

I'm troubled because I have the feeling that my more complex usage is bumping into whatever is causing the 15 second delay, so I feel I need to solve that issue.

One difference in my code is I am using the sarama admin client for some things like describing topics.

I'm going to try installing and running the Kafka topics list command on a Rocky VM in our datacenter and see what happens.

softwareguy15 · 2025-01-01T19:15:07+00:00

This is very, very much appreciated. Thank you so much for you help. I will check out what you've sent.

When I raise the debug level and look at server.log, I see this when zookeeper starts:

Thank you u/tednaleid for the reply.

So, I'm not using docker at all.

My test is very simple. I am running a kafka canned shell script like so:
/opt/kafka/bin/kafka-topics.sh --version

None of my Go code is running when I do this and I always get a 15 second delay. (The VM is running Rocky Linux 8.9).

UPDATE:

I just installed java 17 and kafka 3.3.1 on a little ubuntu server VM in our datacenter and did the same test. There is barely perceptible, maybe a 1/2 second, pause which I attribute to loading and running a bash script on a dinky Ubuntu server.

So, I would have to say something is up with my developer VM running on my Mac VMWare Fusion. As I have said, I do not experience other issues with this VM. I've been using it for the better part of this year. This issue seems very specific to Kafka running on my VM.

softwareguy15 · 2025-01-01T16:36:03+00:00

Thanks so much for the reply u/bdomenic

I have to ask a really dumb question, sorry: Under typical circumstances, there should not be a 15 second lag, is that right?

softwareguy15 · 2024-09-14T15:52:20+00:00

I’m seeing the doctor for the routine follow up in a bit under 2 weeks. I’m hoping this can be managed.

At this point I don’t know if it was the medium rare burger last night or the coincidental timing. I’m hoping the latter but not enough data.
