Can you say more on how you support fair queueing with partitioned queues? Very top of mind for me right now!

I'd be very curious to see you add the Optimized Reads instance types, e.g. r8gd or m8gd, to your benchmark. They add a local NVMe-based SSD block storage that serves as a cache in…

I highly recommend a visit. It’s only a beautiful ferry ride and nice walk along the waterfront away from San Francisco. A refreshingly retro and analog experience.

Thank you! We generally try to stay in line with the supported versions of the technologies we use: Postgres, NodeJS, Redis, etc. For Postgres in particular, part of the motivation…

Hey HN, I put together this blog post[0] and this repository[1] with supporting resources to immortalize the decision tree and step-by-step run book I used that led to us successfu…

Agreed. I frequently go running by (all?) the filming locations they used. With the exception of the Hippie Hill location in GGP, I rarely, if ever, see homeless at any of the othe…

Congrats, Frigade! I'm on the team at Vanta that is revamping our user onboarding flows and really wish y'all had launched a couple months ago! Building out the platform to support…

Recent father of twins here. To reiterate points 3-5: if it is within your means, I cannot highly recommend a night doula/nanny enough. We have a night doula who comes five nights …

There are dozens of us!

I love pairing bitters with my sodastream! A few of my favorite recipes are: 1) Grapefruit & Cherry, 2) Cardamom, and 3) Orange & Cranberry. Clearly it's all to taste, but a 3-4 da…

For what it's worth, the second paragraph (about refusing to tip for jobs they are capable of performing) in the comment you replied to is a direct quote of Dwight Schrute's charac…

I was also very surprised by this. I'm having a hard time accepting that I'd have to manually concat my columns to create sort keys and keep track of the corresponding queries for …

Funny, I've been unable to get credit for any of my stays Marriott hotels in the last year. I rarely stay in Marriott/Starwood, so I assumed that my loyalty account had just expire…

Big congrats to Tracy, Ralph, and the whole team!

Lots of YC companies | Software engineers of all kinds | Many places, though mostly in the US | Mostly on-site, but some remote | Full-time and intern Earlier this year, a team of …

Thanks for the link! I just played around with the React and Vue.js implementations. With the Vue.js implementation, there is a perceptible lag (maybe ~300ms) between pressing Ente…

After YC launched workatastartup.com earlier this year, we decided to relaunch an in-person expo and career fair of sorts to go along with it.[0] The expo consists of keynotes by S…

I'm not crikli, but we have similar tastes! Talisker is my go to dram. Try Bruichladdich Islay Barley. It's heavy on the saltwater characteristic that Talisker and other Islays hav…

Do you have any more information on this? They wanted 50% across the board or only from Moviepass patron concession purchases? I'm guessing it's the former, but if the latter, I'm …

As a counterpoint, I live SF and do not have room to spare in my closets or anywhere else in my apartment for a scooter. Urban living...

Everyone I know who has ridden a dockless rentable electric scooter has absolutely loved them. I've used them to commute to/from work (what would normally be a 20 minute walk turns…

What evidence do you have that people tend to treat them as trash? While I'm not sure how often Jump services/replaces their fleet, the few I've used and the many I've seen around …
