Damn you're right, let's just not do anything good and useful for people

So cool! TIL that pencil lead can be a lubricant.

It is very weird to write all this about a nice series of photographs

Yikes! Wonder what's up with GCP in that regard.

I'm curious as to why with a system like Scylla (that I assume shares the same replication properties as Cassandra which my experience is based off of here) you can't just use the …

Looks interesting! A couple notes: - the verification email went to my spam folder on Gmail - acknowledged is misspelled on this image https://kintaba.com/images/collab_splash.png

We use instance store for Postgres and Cassandra now on i3 and i2 respectively.

Reddit gold opts you out of all ads, not that there are any ads on videos now.

Direct links have never been disallowed, either by design or policy, so not sure where you're getting that.

That's quite a bit of conjecture!

Thanks for the support! We don't have a normal CDN, we have Fastly. They are really incredible at what they do, and this would not have been possible with our previous CDN partners…

We've been using Cassandra for 7 years since 0.7.

> The database would be a custom program that would: Creating a "custom database program" is not a small task. We like to use boring technologies that we know work well. We were al…

Looks like those last two screenshots are Grafana - do you mind sharing the dashboard JSON for those views? Very cool!

If anything, it should make you trust reddit more! I don't know the exact details as to why your account may have been locked, but generally it will be because we're being proactiv…

Reddit is not affected.

Unrelated.

We moved off of CloudFlare to Fastly before this vulnerability.

That would be unrelated to this. We haven't taken any action on any accounts because of this issue and have no plans to, as we (reddit.com) were unaffected.

Reddit is most definitely not an "anti Redis" shop! If we were to rewrite it today, we might start with Redis. We've just put so much work into making memcached reliable and easy t…

Not really, there were some routing issues with our CDN affecting an extremely small percentage of traffic.

The entire codebase for reddit-mobile was rewritten. https://github.com/reddit/reddit-mobile/compare/e3f1119e3358...

What would you do if you were in charge of engineering at reddit?

Not accurate, Reddit was on CloudFlare previously and switched to Route53 a few weeks ago.
