Yes, I didn't mean to imply we wouldn't go far to squeeze Go further! At some point the downside of the complexity of dropping down from Go to intrinsics, bypassing the GC, etc. might overwhelm the benefits of staying with Go. We&

Great question. The biggest reason is that Go was what the team was most familiar with when the engine moved from Javascript. The reason today is that the engine is 40K LOC of Go, so a full-blown rewrite would be a big deal. As the post goe

There is plans to support pretty much every database. The reason it’s not supported currently is because its md5 hashing is too slow, so we need to do something different for it, e.g. just sum for types that support it. It’s similar for dat

I'm not completely sure I understand your comment, so pardon me if I misunderstand. I don't think a foreign data wrapper would fundamentally to be more efficient with whatever table is ~foreign~, especially for an OUTER JOIN? Unle

If they are materialized into a table, they will work! Diffing queries is not supported yet. data-diff only relies on a `sum(md5(concat(col1, col2)))` aggregation as well as `min(id), max(id)` to get the id bookends.

(1) You can specify `--min-age` to exclude records in the replication lag window (2) We can do that, as long as they have the same name and compatible-ish types. There isn't support for differently named columns yet (but it's on t

Watch someone good at Splunk debug a production incident and you'll forever do good logging before you do anything else. Also, this [1] is doing logging right. Completely underutilized. [1]: https://stripe.com/blog&#x2F

Great questions, I struggled with this part the most when I was learning it. `.grad` is set by `autograd` when calling `backward()` Probably the easiest way to understand this is to play a bit with `.grad` and `backward()` on their own, wit

I wrote the initial version of Toxiproxy back in 2014, but Jacob Wirth took it way beyond during his internship at Shopify. It came out of a need for writing integration tests for resiliency work we did at Shopify back then. [1] We didn&#x2

I’ve been fascinated by the 'napkin math' topic recently, but felt a need for a way to routinely practise. It’s an acquired skill once it’s effortless to do the order of magnitude calculations in a meeting, or zipping through poss

I am fascinated with unifying theories such as the periodic table (Mendeleev's) and the Copernican view of planets orbiting the sun. The previous, Earth-centric model had more deviations than predictive power. The periodic table is als

GraphQL for RPC is an interesting approach. What do you see as the disadvantages? It'd seem to me that not all services can be neatly represented as a 'graph', which gRPC works well for. Have you run into this?

What we actually mean is single role, not a single process. E.g. you might have a server that has several worker processes (e.g. Unicorn) and we'd run that in a single container. In other words, our container's init process will n
