The dread should have been that most companies/teams won't care, won't engineer on that level, will just set it up however and make it bigger/faster/more-consumed if it's too slow.
- setr 4y agoIn my uni, the class was more or less unadvertised and the professor largely ignored — you had to go out of your way to take it (I was actively looking for poorly rated professors, because I figured they were usually rated such because they graded hard… which probably meant they cared more). When I tried to google the subject/code examples afterwards, I largely only found textbooks and one-off blog posts. Also a lot of GitHub repos with names like CS550… Only place I’ve seen it referenced since that class was: 1. HN periodically 2. A YouTube documentary about Disneyland fast pass queues 3. A business optimization consultancy Ultimately, a pretty niche subject area AFAICT. But implementing a fairly efficient queuing simulation seems to be pretty easy, and the subject seems to be stupid powerful and broadly applicable… so I’ve never understood why it’s not more discussed
