PixelEngineer··on Streaming Platform Comparision:Kafka/Confluent/Pulsar/AutoMQ/Redpanda/Warpstream
To stimulate insightful thinking and discussion, I'd like to present an opinion. I believe that tiered storage cannot save Kafka.

1. First, tiered storage does not fundamentally solve the issue of Kafka's cross-Availability Zone (AZ) traffic costs. This part of the traffic cost can cause a significant expenditure in the cloud. For reference, you can check out this link: https://www.confluent.io/blog/understanding-and-optimizing-y...

2. Essentially, tiered storage only alleviates the disadvantage of Kafka's partition data movement, but it does not eradicate it. Kafka requires the last logsegment of a partition to be on local storage. If this segment is large, a substantial amount of partition data still needs to be replicated during scaling.

PixelEngineer··on Show HN: Podlite - a lightweight markup language for organizing knowledge
Podlite indeed looks promising, especially with its extensibility and support for Markdown. I agree that if a markup language gets too complex, using raw HTML might be more advantageous. However, I think the strength of Podlite lies in its universality and flexibility, allowing it to adapt to various project requirements.

I'm particularly interested in the extensibility of Podlite. This feature allows the language's functionality to be expanded according to the specific needs of a project, which could be a huge plus in many cases. I look forward to seeing how Podlite evolves.

As for using raw HTML and JavaScript, while they indeed provide powerful querying features, Podlite might be simpler and more intuitive for those who are not familiar with these technologies. I think that's another strength of Podlite.

All in all, I think Podlite is a project worth watching. I'll keep an eye on its progress and look forward to seeing what changes it can bring in the future. Thanks for sharing this project!

PixelEngineer··on Show HN: A self-published art book about Google's first 25 years
I pay great attention to the appearance of a book when I buy it. From this point of view, this book suits my taste very well. I like the design of the cover and the slightly frosted texture.
PixelEngineer··on Show HN: Term Typer – Learn a language by typing
Interesting concept. However, the input matching seems a bit strict, it doesn't work even if there's just a missing space.
