Kangaroo: Caching Billions of Tiny Objects on Flash

• rektide 5y ago
  Lol I had this tab open like a year ago & closed it last night. @Mlerner, what's your story? Why do you keep posting Facebook centric tech articles? Who are you? What do you enjoy? What's your role here at HN?

    This paper is from a conference a few months ago (SOSP), it's possible you read a pre-print (or maybe the CacheLib paper [1]). Facebook publishes lots of systems research! FWIW I also write a fair bit about the other systems research from Microsoft Research, etc - what you are seeing in my posting history is me sharing my writing a few times (as permitted by HN rules) [1] https://www.usenix.org/conference/osdi20/presentation/berg https://www.usenix.org/conference/osdi20/presentation/berg

      I'm just pretty curious. I've seen you repeated share Facebook Delos related posts quite a number of times in the past two months. Delos I think is super super super super interesting, super think there's really good elementary & basic ways to rebuild data-systems that we should all wake up, pay attention to, rebuild, & do, right away. And it saddens me to see lack of interaction. But also, to be honest, your posting has been fairly persistent about a number of topics. I've been curious who you are & what motivates you. My apologies. I was doing a lot of tab sweeping. Kangaroo is indeed from October. Somehow that tab had gotten moved & come to reside amongst a bunch of far older tabs!
