Facebook - Needle in a Haystack: Efficient Storage of Billions of Photos
- tx 18y agoAfter staring for 10 seconds at "Loading" thingie I gave up and hit "Back". I live in 2008 with dual core machine equipped with 3GB of RAM and hooked to the Internet via 8MBit fiber connection. I don't need to wait even a second for anything, let alone 10.

- jobeirne 18y agoFlowgram really sucks. During my visit, whenever I clicked the forward button, it either redirected me to a page extraneous to the advertised presentation, or just didn't do anything at all. Granted, this is my first experience with Flowgram.
- redorb 18y agoI agree, but you have to support your statement a little more.

- utnick 18y agogot that too, i think that extraneous page might have been a slide from the actual presentation, not sure though
- ambition 18y agoThe "extraneous" pages were actual slides. I'm with you on the bad first impression of FlowGram, though.
- siculars 18y agoi watched this all the way through (interesting stuff around slide 15) and the one question i have is how do they control sequential writing to a singular 'haystack' file that is being (artificially) capped at 10GB. they are using offsets to seek in this large file to limit their exposure to unnecessary file metadata.
