Had a pretty nice day chorin' and working on the book Jodi and I are co-authoring. The book is in the second draft stage, headed toward final draft, technical review, and then publication.

Spent a coffee break at a SNOLAB whiteboard yesterday trying to re-derive the relationship between observed redshift of light and the scale factor of the universe at two different times. I nailed the velocity relationship (redshift as a function of recession velocity), but stumbled on the final goal. Sigh. Try try again. # RememberThouArtMortal -

From evan@prodromou.pub on Mastodon: Wow, running ElasticSearch and Kibana in Kubernetes is poorly documented, requires a lot of manual steps that don't lend themselves well to automated deployment, and works badly. There's a lot of "when your ES pod starts, it will blurp out a bunch of garbage that you have to copy into your Kibana UI". I don't want that to happen, ever.… -
