Thanks for having another round?

In your view, who are the winners and losers of the recent H1B changes? And any changes on your perspective for YC harboring international talent in SF Bay Area?

Curious to know about your background (:wink:)!

What led you guys to work on this problem? What inspired you guys?

As always thanks for being generous with your time. Always learn a lot from you!

Thanks swyx again for sharing your insight in this space.

I closely followed your work while you were at Temporal. "React for Backend" resonated with what I experienced while building couple of systems in the backend!

It's been a year or two since then, and I'm frankly surprised that Temoporal-like services don't appear that mainstream. At least in my small circle friends, orchestration framework is still in the "early adopter" stage of innovation.

Any recent take on the adoption of Temporal-like frameworks? Do you still believe it will have a React like moment in the future?

Was interested in learning more, I think the correct website is https://muninetworks.org/content/fiber-optic-network

Agree with your points, but I really thought joda-time’s documentation was decent! Cheatsheet had plenty of examples: https://js-joda.github.io/js-joda/cheat-sheet.html

I thought the author did a decent job - he had two examples (Rails-5 and Leftpad-17) that made the point pretty clearly.

The amalgamation file is more than 180,000 lines long and over 6 megabytes in size.

Oregon University has precip/temperature data for CONUS freely available!

Could you include the link to the talk?

Fascinating - I am the exact opposite! I've found that for reading fictions - a narrative that mostly move forward - the limition of eink displays in freely flipping between pages to be less annoying.

What makes you say this? Are all positive reviews a corporate sponsored promotion in your view?

What is surprisingly here is that the reality conformed to reasonable expectations. For a country that has witness too many violations of the democratic process, this is huge.

The `dep` repository: https://github.com/golang/dep

The article mentions that the framework avoids creating python datastructure (e.g. A dictionary to read HTTP headers) to improve benchmark performance. It's a clever trick, but I am unconvinced that A less-than-simple application will demonstrate performance anywhere close to what was claimed in the article.

I'm wondering the same thing. What does having a JS syntax bring to embedded programming?

it could be your adblock whatever plugin you use to disable trackers

Good point. I often heard that it makes no sense to NOT deal with network partitions and CAP as an "illusion of choice"[1]

Relational databases are not simple systems as you say, but they do seem to me simpler to use - especially in the 95% case where a single, large enough machine hosting postgresql/mysql is entirely sufficient.

Key-value stores are "easy", but what I think isn't easy is to reduce your business domain to a simple key-value model without sacrificing promises and gaurantees offered by a good relational database system.

There is a hint of irony to this. Many Koreans (especially the younger crowd) views Samsung-like chaebols with disdain not unlike many have towards Wall Street, and yet getting an offer from one of these companies is a dream come true.

Is there a name for an exploit where a malicious client requests rarely-accessed contents that has been tucked/compressed away in order to overwork their server?

The article suggested that they had to carefully balance the processing cost of compressing and decompressing data and the storage cost.

Did the use of ZFS in your system incur noticeable processing cost in your system? Any noticeable increase in latency on your system?

I'm not the author of the above comment, but here is my take..

I think one benefit of a curated course is that it includes materials you didn't even know exists. We can easily improve on our known unknowns - just pick up a book or google it - but unknowns unknowns are... well difficult to learn. I think going through a graduate program helps you get a better grasp of what you don't know AND what you didn't know you didn't know.

cool. thanks for your explanation

I noticed that bigchainDB is written enitrely in python. I love python, but I'm surprised to see it used in the database space!

(if the author is reading this) - what were your interest in using python? Do you have any concern for it's performance/scalability as the service grows?

"Hasselblad Acquired by DJI" is article author's speculation.

Although the final conclusion has not yet been confirmed by Hasselblad or DJI, I am confident in my sources and believe that a formal announcement is forthcoming.

I appreciate projects with README like this - one including a gentle survey on the domain of the project. Nice writeup.

For one, this project is open source and can be installedon your own set of machines.

Are you aware of a programming language/compiler that optimizes on recursively written code? I'm finding it difficult to imagine a PL where stack _isn't_ free except tail-recursive code.

Has go language become a go-to language to build SQL frontend for distributed databases? If so, why is that?
