Re:Are Package Registries Holding Open-Source Hostage?
on Thursday November 12, 2020 @01:01AM (#25066948)
The Golang package dependency story has been bumpy, but one thing they got absolutely right is not having a package registry.
Anyone can host their golang package at example.com/myPkg and Go wouldn't care less what/who runs example.com

Looks like streamlet requires synchronized time. That can be hard to achieve.
From the link; "The protocol runs sequentially in synchronized ‘epochs’ that are 2 seconds long. Every player starts in epoch 0 at the same time...."

Splunk taking minutes to load dashboard is not a problem imposed by post-calculation, it's more of a problem of lack of schema.
Most post calculation works on free text logs and thus has to regex it's way to a solution. But it doesn't have to be that way; that's why the original poster talked about a lack of tooling in the post-calculation world

Re:Go 1.15 – Draft release notes
on Friday June 12, 2020 @06:51AM (#23497953)
As a person who uses Go i don't need day by day updates to know that the Go team is working hard on generics. I trust that they are & indeed they are.
> now one year old with little visible progress, no updates since August on public git.
This is untrue.
In January this year the Go team wrote[1]; "Module support is in good shape and getting better with each day, and we are also making progress on the generics front (more on that later this year)."
If you looked at the draft/experimental[2] branch where generics development has been taking place, you can see that it has had activity as late as just last week.
In the featherweightGo presentation, Phil Wadler said Rob Pike wrote to him asking if he would be interested in working with the Go team so that they can figure out generics and try and get them right. And that is how featherweightGo came to be.
So a lot has/is been happening.

> Having to look at the list of all exceptions and figure out which ones are of interest wouldn’t be ideal.
You can filter for exceptions by tags. You can also use full text search to filter for exceptions. ie all the functionality provided[1] by the datadog eventstream[1] is available for your errors.
> Also, nitpick: it’s 2020, maybe update the front page screenshot to Python 3: is this even maintained?
errorship is compatible with both python2 and python3. Yes it is maintained. We have a testsuite that is ran in CI under both python2 and python3. Some of our customers during early trials still had some python2 applications that they had yet to port over.

Hi.
> If your server is down, my application would crash too.
The errorship library is written in such a way that it fails open. If our servers are down(or any other failure), it does not affect your application and your application continues to work okay.
Re:Show HN: Errorship, use datadog as an error tracker
on Sunday April 19, 2020 @08:37AM (#22915501)
errorship is not using the datadog eventstream to send all logs to it. Rather, errorship just sends exceptions, their stack traces(and a few other metadata like hostname) to the eventstream.
> although not sure how DD would feel about that
The datadog documentation[1] says; "An event represents any record of activity noteworthy for engineers"[1]. We certainly believe that exceptions that occur in engineer's applications are noteworthy activities and as such belong to the eventstream.
