Is that what you're looking for?

Yoo thanks! That is indeed what I was looking for.

(I am pretty bad at finding things after a long days work of development)

On: Sunsetting Mercurial Support in Bitbucket

[vquemener]

You mean like Gentoo (https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo) ? It's not that big either (around 700MB).

[webstrand → vquemener]

That only includes the ebuilds, which are instructions for how to build from source, not the sources themselves.

[vquemener → webstrand]

So the sources for, say, Paint or Edge are versioned within the Windows repository?

[hyperrail → vquemener]

Yes, most of the components and files in a default Windows installation are built from sources in the main Windows OS git repo.

Some parts of Windows have split out into their own repos and CI build and test pipelines, but splitting is a process that takes people's time and has pros and cons, especially when changes in the main OS repo are needed to give the separated components a complete, coherent API surface.

Actually, they really do support SQL as a query language : https://www.elastic.co/en/blog/an-introduction-to-elasticsea...

There's even a JDBC driver on the commercial tier

[ousta → vquemener]

yeah a "subset of SQL" and on the page you gave me 0 example of a JOIN. so no JOIN no SQL sorry

[AtlasBarfed → ousta]

"We support SQL on our distributed data platform" has to be the new big lie of distributed systems salespeople.

I'm not saying that computing joins, aggegates, sorts, etc can't be done in a distributed fashion, it just takes time, a lot of network reliability/reattempts, and understanding of the approximate nature of results if there are ongoing "eventually consistent" updates rolling through the cluster(s).

[ousta → AtlasBarfed]

well you cannot have a search engine query time + a SQL layer at least not at DB speeds

On: Pyruse: Lightweight replacement to both epylog and fail2ban

[vquemener]

It seems to read the log entries from systemd’s journal, which is more efficient.

[dozzie → vquemener]

But it's still whacking free-form text with regexps, which is wrong place for finding whom to ban on firewall.

FYI there's already an open source software going by the name of Rudder : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudder_(software)
