Cockroach automates the sharding of data by region and provides tools that let you use and manage it more like a traditional database. If they didn't use cockroach, they would have to write/setup tools and adapters to…
I think Slack is different than Gmail because people are actively having conversations, so if you disconnect, it is much more likely to be noticeable and annoying. Reading between the lines, I think what they would need…
Honestly many of the comments in this thread illustrate the author's point - there is such blatant sexism in tech, to the point that many people don't even realize it is sexism.
If you use GKE, you have been spoiled. Other Kubernetes platforms - in particular EKS, which is what most people are going to use since most people use AWS - are way more work to setup and maintain. (Emphasis on the…
It is a solved problem for other languages. Pip has soooo many issues. The biggest IMO is pip doesn't provide a way to pin indirect dependencies, so there is no good way to ensure that other people working on a project…
I'm surprised they are still making breaking changes, and they plan to make more (they are already working on a 4.0).
Yeah this stuck out to me too. Adding an extra hop and point of failure isn't acceptable IMO.
And you have to account for indexes, temporary tables used for data analysis, etc. And most of it is probably not compressed. So with that perspective it isn't that much data at all.
This is a very difficult thing to do. Very impressive. I have so many questions but my number one is: were you able to evaluate alternatives to your existing vertical scaling based setup? For example, cockroachdb,…
A lot of people are saying to read the stdlib, but the stdlib has a lot of objectively bad code in it. Some of it is necessary due to the nature of a standard library - you have extra concerns about dependencies to…
