    If you are going to use RE's, use something like https://regexr.com/ to double check that they're doing what you want. I was suspicious of your 'cols = re.findall(r'\d+ .....', i)' line, and indeed it does miss some columns. You should rethink your column detection, and either not use REs or learn how to use capture groups and \w. There would then be no reason to use yet another RE in your column iterator to extract the numbers which you've already detected.
  • 2023 Day 2 Part A [Java] regex pattern not matching
    1 project | /r/adventofcode | 4 Dec 2023
    First time posting here, let me know if I need to edit post to conform to any rules. My issue is that I'm trying to match regex pattern to separate out the number of cubes drawn and its color but my Matcher object seems to not be returning any matches so it's throwing a no match found exception when I try to call digitMatcher.group(). I have tested my regex pattern on sites like regexr and it seems to pass there but it's not working for some reason here. I use the same type of regex on day one and it work there so I'm not sure where my regex pattern is failing here. I'm talking about specifically in my isGameValid() method where I create a matcher base on a pattern I made above. Through debugging I know that I separated the string color pairing correctly and that my Matcher object has the correct regex pattern, it's just not matching for some reason. Any help would be appreciated. Code below:

    The people we're concerned about are not the hundreds of thousands of Sentry users, including those that self-host.

    We're concerned about people who have taken the software for the purposes of competing directly against us, that hinders our ability to monetize the work. Monetizing the work helps us continue improving the software and distribute it for free use, benefitting those aforementioned real users (e.g. https://github.com/getsentry/self-hosted).

    > I mean no slander or disrespect to anyone involved, but there was a DataDog alternative posted sometime in the last few weeks that had a docker-compose with like 15 containers in it.

    Reminds me of Sentry: https://develop.sentry.dev/self-hosted/

    This is their example docker-compose for self-hosting: https://github.com/getsentry/self-hosted/blob/master/docker-...

  • OpenTelemetry in 2023

    > What should people use?

    I recall Apache Skywalking being pretty good, especially for smaller/medium scale projects: https://skywalking.apache.org/

    The architecture is simple, the performance is adequate, it doesn't make you spend days configuring it and it even supports various different data stores: https://skywalking.apache.org/docs/main/v9.0.0/en/setup/back...

    The problems with it are that it isn't super popular (although has agents for most popular stacks), the docs could be slightly better and I recall them also working on a new UI so there is a little bit of churn: https://skywalking.apache.org/downloads/

    Still better versus some of the other options when you need something that just works instead of spending a lot of time configuring something (even when that something might be superior in regards to the features): https://github.com/getsentry/self-hosted/blob/master/docker-...

    Sentry is just the first thing that comes to mind (OpenTelemetry also isn't simpler due to how much it tries to do), but compare its complexity to Skywalking: https://github.com/apache/skywalking/blob/master/docker/dock...

    I wish there was more self-hosted software like that out there, enough to address certain concerns in a simple way on day 1 and leave branching out to more complex options like OpenTelemetry once you have a separate team for that and the cash is rolling in.

    I also miss the "good old days" when running sentry was like 3 containers, not the 32 of modern Sentry
