That's a good question, I was very high up in the leadership, couple levels below the CIOs and the biggest surprise for the team was that I could write even a single line of code. In large organizations, changing…
Lots of EBS volumes mounted via 25GBPs or higher network, positioned carefully onto a single rack where possible and carefully tuned network/ip/os for both clients and servers. It is not feasible in most deployments as…
In 2015, I was able to get to 1 million read/write queries per second on only a couple nodes and tested this with multiple databases, it required (at the time) decent network tuning and node placement inside AWS but it…
I see a few comments talking about the pain cassandra inflicts on ops, and that's fine, I agree with almost all of them. What the comments assume readers to know and understand is the absolute horror of foot guns,…
chatgpt just refused to tell me the first verse from a poem when I asked it by telling it the second verse and to remind me the first one, it complained about not being able to violate copyright laws! poetry by a dead…
This team does not report to me, I will ensure their demise and make sure their work is never adapted by anyone within my sphere of control. It is easy to justify such behavior behind snazzy terms but I have seen this…
Oh this is great, any ideas on how to do this for Samsung and LG televisions?
I have wanted to hold back from answering comments that ask for proof of real work/productivity gains because everyone works differently, has different skill levels and frankly not everyone is working on world changing…
I am good at software. It turns out that isn’t sufficient, or alternatively stated, you have to be good at a number of other things than just churning code, even good code. So to me, the combination of being good at…
I like it, a test so bad, it just might work! I think the trick is not the equal sign, trick is to keep it so simple and small that most qualified people will not try to short circuit it.
That it won't be a revenue generating tech in 10 years.

Tax schemes are there to save taxes using legalism loopholes, these places are happy to pay the taxes on "cash" purchases to bank the proceeds. Nobody is buying 50K rugs is correct, most of the transactions are self…
This is not really Veblen situation. A lot of these are primarily money laundering outfits, the artificially high prices, are simply a means of converting cash into bank deposits. Similar schemes exist in art,…

They were trained in a large and not insignificant part on reddit content. You only need to look at the kind of advice reddit gives for any kind of relationship questions to know this is asking for trouble.
I am a software engineer in his 50s, with stints in big tech, big bank and fintech with domain expertise in payments, risk, performance engineering, and data. In addition I have led global teams of hundreds of engineers…
Don't forget high speed committed writes to append only tables (the opposite of scans), postgres approach is better here as well.
I am seeing this in my community as well, it has become nearly impossible for early career folks to find opportunities and it is due to a number of factors. In addition to economy, the fast ramp up of hiring in covid…
One of the interesting ones we encountered was in the JDBC driver of our chosen database at the time. Under load, the application core dumped. Mind you this is java, running a native jdbc driver, no JNI in sight. It…
This is similar to an approach I use but instead of a queue, I accomplish this using a ring buffer that wraps around and overwrites entries older than window size. We maintain a global window aggregate, subtract ring…
