Could you leave your email in your bio? Or email me? Definitely interested to learn more about your experience.

Some companies I'd put on the list:

1) Okta – Single Sign-On as a service

2) Snowflake – Cloud-native data warehouse as a service

3) Crowdstrike – Cloud-native security as a service

Thanks for your thorough response, it's greatly appreciated.

+1 for Substack, I think it really helps writers focus on getting their words out instead of worrying about distribution.

Choosing a blogging host isn't the main obstacle for most people; it is writing consistent, high-quality articles.

Focusing on writing well and building an audience is the most important thing while starting out.

n.b.: I've been writing at https://reframing.substack.com/ for the past 5 weeks.

Here's my process wrt https://reframing.substack.com/:

1. Get an idea, write it down in Notes, mull over it for 2-3 weeks, do research and create an outline, write the article

2. I had something to get out there, so I wrote something on Friday. Committed to myself that I'd do the same next week and I'm now 4 weeks in.

3. I think of it as sharpening my writing muscle, especially with regard to what topics I choose and how I tell that story. I'm willing to consider a lot of my current work as a "throwaway" until I get better at my craft. Eventually, I'll develop a proper audience and hopefully, something will go viral.

4. Perfectionism was a big one, previously I would always put things off until they're perfect. Now I have to ship every Friday so I'm less focused on getting it perfect. Another was that the story I want to tell shifts while writing it, hopefully, I get better at this over time.

They're creating their own test.

The unanimous 23-to-0 vote ratified a proposal put forward last month by UC President Janet Napolitano to phase out the exams over the next five years until the sprawling UC system can develop its own test.

Hey, I'm currently writing a newsletter on reframing ideas from pop culture using first principles, would appreciate if you could take a look: https://reframing.substack.com/.

I plan to publish every Friday.

I've won 100% of the time by switching and then not switching doors, surely that can't be right?

Wait, so what's the problem here?

You're processing an average of 1.33 million trades/hour. Let's double that and round up for peak traffic, that's 3 million trades/hour or 833.33 trades/second.

Unless I'm missing something, you only need 1 line. What's the problem here?

Goa doesn't have any active cases and the borders with other states are still locked: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/goa/state-govt-want....

Relying solely on client-side logs gets less and less reliable each year.

The standard setup nowadays is something like this: http://bit.ly/2MFAAt9.

You can use different technologies based on your use case, but you probably need all the pieces outlined above. As someone else has mentioned, if you're looking for trade-offs between different technologies, I'd recommend "Designing Data-Intensive Applications" by Kleppmann.

Note: I build and maintain such systems for a living.

There's a lot of context that's missing from your post, some questions that can help us guide you in the right direction:

1) Can your website call out to external services, or are you limited to operating behind a company network?

2) Is this more of an ad-hoc analysis or do you want to invest in a framework to be able to track such metrics systematically over time?

3) How important is data accuracy? Adblock can easily mess with client-side metrics.

4) How real-time do metrics need to be? The big trade-off here is speed vs accuracy.

5) How long do you intend to keep this data? This is a pretty big concern with regards to privacy and storage costs.

If you'd rather not share some of these answers on a public forum, feel free to shoot me an email.

Their CMS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_management_system) is a set of flat ERB (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ERuby) files, no WordPress etc.

It's mentioned on slide 6.

I enjoyed this explanation, thank you.

Curious to know what the differences are vis-a-vis big data tools like Hadoop or Spark; as a user of those tools I recognized a lot of common failure patterns in the example above. Thanks!

Check if Amazon Day is an option, you can choose a day as your Amazon Day and Amazon will deliver packages on that day.

Coming across this for the first time, very cool!

Going to do this in Scala, if anybody wants to join my email is in my bio.

This is correct. Out of curiosity, have you required 4G while roaming?

For maps, music and Uber 3G worked just fine for me in the UK and India.

Look into getting an AT&T Prepaid plan: https://www.reddit.com/r/PersonalFinanceCanada/comments/98wa....

You can currently get unlimited data for $40/month on T-Mobile if you can bring 4 lines.

Not if you can get on a family plan.

T-Mobile has unlimited data for $40/line for 4 lines, if everyone uses at least 2 GB that makes more sense.

How does Fi work with family plans?

Currently paying $140 on T-Mobile for 4 unlimited lines with unlimited international 3G roaming (good enough for maps and music) and other misc. benefits (half-off phones, free Netflix, unlimited in-flight wi-fi).
