@carr0t this one https://emacsthemes.com/themes/tron-legacy-theme.html

Ahha

Too blue for me 😉

Oh Slack what have you done?

Morning

@mccraigmccraig yeah, EKS looks pretty good. DCOS ended up being too much of a pain and didn't buy us enough (we never really did spin up spark/hadoop jobs on it)

Good to see some anti DC/OS sentiment here. We’re leaning to move away from it also. Mostly due to cost.

@otfrom so far EKS is playing nicely with an existing environment, and you can expose services which are reachable directly (pods have real IPs not just overlay IPs, and services (which have overlay IPs) can have NodePort proxies) - and the EBS (storageclasses) and ELB (ingresses) integrations are a breath of fresh air. deployment is much simpler too, with auto-scaling groups for groups of workers

i'll let you know how it plays out as i get further

@mccraigmccraig - I shall watch with interest; EKS was always going to be my Production environment if it was available in Ireland in time...

Mornin' All 🙂

integrated EBS sounds great as storage is always an issue. Tho I suppose in AWS you've got S3 and EMR to fall back on (or other databases)

I did some stuff with ECS earlier this year b/c EKS wasn't available

assuming it's similar to AKS (which is surprisingly mature compared to, well, everything else on Azure) then it's probably a winner

I've posted in #jobs, but here we go again: https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/cervest-public/Cervest-JobDescription-SeniorSoftwareEngineer-Clojure.pdf

that has to be one of the best job descriptions evva @maleghast

Peta to my Katniss?

Beatrice to my Bendict?

Albert to my Victoria?

Brown to my Blair? 😱

John/Paul to my Paul/John?

Thx for the encouragement @thomas

I like the alternative partnership references too and from you as well @otfrom, Thanks! They will come in handy fro v2.0...

Rey to my Finn?

Nice!

Dameron to my Holdo

or Holdo to my Dameron

(I totally stan for Vice Admiral Holdo)

Oh @maleghast you’ve set @otfrom off now 🙂

#contraversial

"stan"?

unfortunately a portmanteau of stalker and fan, but I feel the connotation is someone who is a fan despite potential resistance of others

Oh I see - FWIW I like it

...but my guess was that you puked every time you tried to talk to Laura Dern

I suppose that would be to Stan with an uppercase \S

luckily I know so little about Laura Dern that I'm able to separate the art from the artist

Storm to my Cyclops?

(Storm was a better leader than Cyclops, Fight me!)

trying to think of good pairings where there isn't a romantic overtone

Passepartout to my Fogg?

(vintage!)

Matthau to my Lemon?

(Perhaps the other way around)

no reason to not make the comparisons gender fluid

Zoe to my Mal?

Kaylee to my Wash?

Harvey to my Jessica (for those who are fans of the show Meghan Markle left)

Xander to my Cordie..?

(Yes, I see myself as Cordelia, but in her improved, Angel self, not High School Bitch Queen)

Claudia to my Tess?

OK, you got me - who?

Strictly Come Dancing hosts

Charlie to my Naga?

Tina to my David?

or Chris to my Tina?

This may have gone as far as it can go.

I'm not sure I've even started really. 😜

and I'll have nothing said against Claud and her eyeliner.

nonono, it can always get worse

say Theresa to my Nigel and watch the world burn 😄

@lady3janepl you are a bad person. You did a bad thing. You should feel bad.

the Marla to my Narrator

that is perfect @lady3janepl

Kim Deal to my Black Francis?

(I might be showing my age here)

Kim Gordon to my Thurston Moore?

^ that last one has not aged well

> I totally stan for Vice Admiral Holdo I knew there was a reason I like your twittersona

(although, isn't stan a reference to the Eminem song? or is otfrom more 'with it' than me? not hard, I'll admit...)

I hear stan, I think static analysis 😞

haha

the thing is tho, obviously not to the same degree as in Fight Club but I feel that gif would be relevant for any two people in the world at any time in their lives

¯\(ツ)/¯

maybe somebody somewhere is having a Very Normal Time that I don't know about

we’re struggling with definition of normal because it’s a moving target

…this is getting philosophical

You know, I’m thinking, we clearly have a better life situation than a lot of people previously. But were they happier because they had a more stable “normal”?

Or maybe it’s “may you live in interesting times” all the way down.

> Or maybe it’s “may you live in interesting times” all the way down. 💯

don't get me wrong, I like being at a strange time in my life

I just figured it wouldn't be the normal state of affairs, heh

when you discover the time is no longer strange, it’s time to change it 🙂

Me wonders what my twittersona is

this is all to deep for me.

well that was easy@maleghast - just got a kafka cluster configured on EKS using the https://strimzi.io/ operator - it came down to this config and it's deployed brokers and zk on EBS persistent volumes https://gist.github.com/8ccbdbfb1abdd4d5e192fcf8ced7b852

k8s operators are pretty cool - they seem quite like DC/OS frameworks, will deploy a complex service for you and there are quite a lot of them for many different services - https://github.com/operator-framework/awesome-operators

@mccraigmccraig - Thx, will investigate more fully in the morning; just getting on a big metal bird...

@mccraigmccraig you'll have to tell us if that Kafka cluster is easier to admin than before

it looks not that much different @otfrom - the DC/OS framework gave you the dcos kafka command... this operator lets you mod the config files, and includes a topic operator which can (re)configure topics for you

Cool
