These show up once you have a certain scale where it is either cost inefficient or the hot spots are very dynamic. They also try to avoid latency by being eventually consistent sid…

Yup! This is the reason why its so cheap for them. Other companies in similar positions have cache nodes in the ISPs and this dramatically lowers the cost

Why do you think its easy? There's a lot of systems where you can easily take down some hosts, but taking down more than N% at a time causes issues. If your fleet is large enough t…

My bet is on cache servers having a bad release

It’s millions a year and ms teams is near free. In a cost cutting environment this is near perfect.

Why is there input lag? I’ve used something identical and mosh makes this just work. Most devs at that company swear by remote builds and hate laptop builds

They can get it from your android phone or from chrome if you’re running it

No, cryptocurrency cannot be used as a normal currency. Nothing as easy as handing cash to someone else exists in cryptocurrency. There's one giant benefit of using cryptocurrency …

Its like Fish shell vs Bash shell. Bash has weird defaults so you end up googling for everything. In fish, it just works and you barely need to search for anything. Sane defaults m…

When risk to society becomes high enough then it becomes necessary. See paying taxes, conscription, jury duty Though judging the level of risk is very hard and there is often not a…

It wasn’t when I last saw it. Rocksandra ended up being a stepping stone to fbs most common distributed db, zippydb https://engineering.fb.com/2021/08/06/core-data/zippydb/ Zippydb…

What psaux mentioned makes more sense. A node == one Cassandra agent instead of a server. Past 100k servers you start needing really intense automation just to keep the fleet up wi…

I was also surprised by this. 300K nodes for a distributed DB is kind of crazy. I’ve worked with similar systems but they stored much more than 100 PB with 10x less nodes Apple is …

What happens is you work somewhere that has stacked diffs and suddenly you learn how to shape your diffs to make them easy to review. Thinking of how folks will review your code in…

Yup, the core part of Tor is written in C so it can't get much speedier. Rewriting it in rust is almost is entirely to reduce the footguns you get in C

Yup, stacks are wonderful for new features. Typically I run a stack of 5 for new features. First one is the API/interface with null implementations. Then subsequent ones each imple…

Mercurial solves this 90% of the way with hg absorb: https://gregoryszorc.com/blog/2018/11/05/absorbing-commit-ch... Its extremely close to magic. You make all the requested change…

While isolation is important for managing state, the other side effect of isolation is allowing separate scaling of resources. If you can scale up your number of workers for a part…

Nope, looks legit: https://www.google.com/search?q=livermorons+site:www.reddit....

Atomic rename is useful, but one of the points of not having it is that it makes these giant distributed file systems much much easier. Building DBs on top of these systems is done…

It’s now EEA 2
