- dang 5y agoWe also have RAM. Edit: but we can't GC it fast enough. On a day like today I wonder if always going to disk mightn't be better.
- csdreamer7 5y agoHi dang, thank you for what you do. Do you (or anyone else) have an article on HN's infrastructure? Would like to read more about this. Tried to Google it but was filled with links to other people's infra on HN.
