We Indexed a Petabyte Over a Weekend - by Cliff Crosland of Scanner, Inc.

"Scanner indexed 1.4 PiB of log data across 689 billion events in 80 hours, unattended, at a fraction of what a traditional SIEM would cost. This post breaks down the architecture behind it: how Scanner indexes directly in S3, runs continuous detections in parallel as data streams in, and keeps query latency in seconds across a petabyte of data."

@da_667 omg the smell of a freshly-picked green bell pepper is delightful 🫑

Sherpa Intelligence paid attention to the Information Security & Data Privacy news from over the weekend so you wouldn't have to!

@da_667 I once tutored a guy in college who told me to my face that he hated me, called me a bitch or something, for how I tutored French. He later apologized sheepishly when he told me that he passed his French class.

Reminded me of this from SNL:
"Back in 2008, Tina Fey went on an epic Weekend Update rant about people who call Hillary Clinton a bitch. “Let me say something about that: She is,” Fey snarled. “And so am I. And so is this one (Amy Poehler). You know what? Bitches get stuff done. That’s why Catholic schools use nuns as teachers and not priests. Those nuns are mean old clams, and they sleep on cots and they’re allowed to hit you. And at the end of the school year, you hated those bitches. But you knew the capital of Vermont.”

@da_667 Yes. This. It reminds me of when I used to be a French tutor. The kids were dropped right into conversational French without learning any basics --- like the alphabet, I kid you not. I discovered this when I told the kids to sound out words they didn't know. They couldn't because they were never taught the alphabet. This blew my mind because the alphabet is what I was taught first. So, I'd drill them on the alphabet and that improved their abilities. I know that there are different ways to learn languages, but not being able to spell or sound out words blew my mind.
