China isn't looking at it just for bragging rights, but as a step towards the first moon base. Some see it as a race for the frontier and territorial claims.
Are you saying that Americans, who have close to 1,000 known and many unknown bases in every corner of the globe are worried someone else might set up a base somewhere before them?
I guess I am just not that bothered, because I don't assume American intentions are inherently better.
I don't see logs mentioned. I agree with most those applications but would keep my OLAP stuff (metrics, logs, traces) in a separate store like VictoriaMetrics, both for capacity and read activity.
Western education and popular culture reinforces a strong sense of ideological exceptionalism, so I frankly don't see the problem with having it spelled out now and then. The "we" that "gets it" is smaller than you think, as least as far as USA is concerned.
It's also worth highlighting that C is perhaps the most officially standardized programming language in history.
What a contradiction. Strong evidence that standard-driven programming language development is much worse than implementation-driven development. Standards should be used for data types and external interfaces/protocols, not programming languages.
In objective terms, these tactical tornadoes are among the most valuable headcount at a big company to the extent that they can rapidly patch production issues and restore service, by any means possible.
The problem is allowing this kind of frantic tactical development even in "peace time".
