Elasticsearch / Kibana / Logstash Quick Install

Instructions for getting an ELK stack set up quick on Mac. Paths are opinionated. You'll have to infer and change. Sorry mate. 🍰

Install Homebrew if not already. You probably have. If not, you should.

brew install elasticsearch nginx

do yourself a favor and get a better services command than launchctl

Answer by Jim Dennis on Stack Overflow question http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1218390/what-is-your-most-productive-shortcut-with-vim/1220118#1220118

Your problem with Vim is that you don't grok vi.

You mention cutting with yy and complain that you almost never want to cut whole lines. In fact programmers, editing source code, very often want to work on whole lines, ranges of lines and blocks of code. However, yy is only one of many way to yank text into the anonymous copy buffer (or "register" as it's called in vi).

The "Zen" of vi is that you're speaking a language. The initial y is a verb. The statement yy is a simple statement which is, essentially, an abbreviation for 0 y$:

0 go to the beginning of this line. y yank from here (up to where?)

Install va homebrew

If you don't have homebrew installed - get homebrew here

Then run: brew install elasticsearch

Configuration

Update the elasticsearch configuration file in /usr/local/etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml.

Stevey's Google Platforms Rant

I was at Amazon for about six and a half years, and now I've been at Google for that long. One thing that struck me immediately about the two companies -- an impression that has been reinforced almost daily -- is that Amazon does everything wrong, and Google does everything right. Sure, it's a sweeping generalization, but a surprisingly accurate one. It's pretty crazy. There are probably a hundred or even two hundred different ways you can compare the two companies, and Google is superior in all but three of them, if I recall correctly. I actually did a spreadsheet at one point but Legal wouldn't let me show it to anyone, even though recruiting loved it.

I mean, just to give you a very brief taste: Amazon's recruiting process is fundamentally flawed by having teams hire for themselves, so their hiring bar is incredibly inconsistent across teams, despite various efforts they've made to level it out. And their operations are a mess; they don't real

Get up and running with your own faasd installation on your Mac

multipass from Canoncial is like Docker Desktop, but for getting Ubuntu instead of a Docker daemon. It works on MacOS, Linux, and Windows with the same consistent UX. It's not fully open-source, and uses some proprietary add-ons / binaries, but is free to use.

For Linux using Ubuntu, you can install the packages directly, or use sudo snap install multipass --classic and follow this tutorial. For Raspberry Pi, see my tutorial here.

John McCabe has also tested faasd on Windows with multipass, see his tweet.
