Arena.AI does this as well - they may appear as a leaderboard but what keeps business booming is their sale of traces to chinese labs

Not a single mention of SPIRE thus far, sus
I'm a xoogler so I don't have access. Do you have a TL;DR that you can share here (for non-Googlers)?
Unix Domain Sockets are the standard mechanism for app->sidecar communication at Google (ex: Talking to the TI envelope for logging etc.)
Re:Show HN: Visualize database schemas with a single query on Saturday August 24, 2024 @03:03PM (#41340574)
I think having multiple "views" of these diagrams would be nifty. In addition to the standard visualization, you could have an "index" visualization that also captures foreign keys etc.
Ah yes diskless borg :)
Re:Do we need to store all that telemetry? on Tuesday April 16, 2024 @01:02AM (#40048521)
> For 30 years how telemetry is produced has not changed: we define all of the data points that we need ahead of time and ship them out of the origin process, typically at large expense. If we apply the control plane / data plane split to observability telemetry production we can fundamentally change the status quo for the first time in three decades

Boy do I miss go/epitaphs; you could actually sort by departures based on tenure as well. But I've heard you could get into trouble for scraping epitaphs or specific ganpati groups to figure out who has left specifically around layoff seaon.
Re:Is moonlighting as a CS coach legal in CA? on Sunday February 04, 2024 @10:32PM (#39256992)
You're right, I'll get my employment contract and get it checked by a lawyer to see what's what. I'm guessing I would need the help of an "employment lawyer" to figure out what my options are.

If I realize I can indeed start a side-hustle then yes I'd get a lawyer's help to start the LLC.

I'm not sure what my employment contract states but I wonder if California Labor Code section 96 overrides things even if the contract says something like "explicit approval must be granted before you start business in X"

Is moonlighting as a CS coach legal in CA?

I work full-time as a senior engineer at a company in the bay area and wonder whether I could start a side-hustle as a computer science / system design coach on the side. I would charge a nominal fee for my time but I've never actually done a business outside of my regular employment.Has anyone tried this? Do you usually need to let your employer know and could there be blowback?
