If you were using PyPI you would have encountered source archives or Wheels. If you were not using PyPI you could have encountered source archives or Eggs.

Agree.

I don't think the Wheel specification was intended to replace application distribution. It is aimed at the distribution of individual Python libraries.

Wheels are newer and have an official PEP (PEP 427)

Eggs contain compiled Python bytecode which requires publishing egg versions for every version of Python. While Wheels are distribution formats that can support more than a single Python version.

325 of top 360 Python packages are now distributed as Wheels.

Reminds me of Zoox https://zoox.com/

EKS has certainly been lagging behind GKE for a long time. I think that this release acknowledges that and closes the gap somewhat.

To address your other comments: * EKS has automatic updates on the roadmap, which I imagine is similar to release channels on GKE. * GKE Limits. Yes, they are much larger than EKS, which I guess matters a lot if you have a requirement to scale horizontally to thousands of nodes. * eksctl isn't necessary to use EKS, but they do encourage it. I personally use Terraform and kubectl. It's essentially a wrapper over the AWS CLI. For GKE you would use the gcloud tool. For EKS you can use the AWS CLI or eksctl. It is an open-source tool built by Weaveworks btw: https://eksctl.io/

Yes, when I heard about Delta I thought the same. Would love to see a comparison between Delta and Iceberg. I wonder if Ryan Blue is on HN.

Thanks for the info. It does seem like it can scale then. I wonder how many instances are needed to operate at that scale.

I've been missing many of these features from Postgres and they are finally becoming a reality in MySQL.

I'm interested in hearing thoughts from people who've used digdag (https://www.digdag.io/) or pachyderm (http://www.pachyderm.io/). Pachyderm is the most interesting to me. It seems to be focussing on the data as well as the data processing.

I agree. I've used it a lot too, but only after a few test runs against some snapshots to get familiar with the operational aspects of it.

It is using GPS for navigation at the moment. I wonder if the reduction in Lidar size and advancements in cameras would mean that in theory these things could be raced in groups. That would be cool.

Powers bits of Flickr. Interesting.

How is this different to React Native?

I guess the question is how much value it provides to your business. If it helps you to raise hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, the pricing is cheap!
