Obviously this depends a lot on the kind of usage patterns your application provides, but in my experience you should be able to comfortably run a 30k _daily_ users (the total n. of registered users could be 10x-100x that, depends) web app

Would you be so kind as to provide context on why WAL replication is superior to logical replication? I'm very interested in learning more about it. Also, what specifically did you hate about Slony? Any resources you'd recommend o

On this note, what is people's favorite way of scaling out Postgres? I'm told Slony + master/slaves configs are good for scaling out read-heavy situations, but it seems that there are a ton of alternatives on the market. Is t

One practice I personally follow with my team is to always pay attention to when the code you're reviewing is not obvious. e.g. If I have to spend more than a few seconds trying to figure out what a function does, then you're pret

Then, can we dramatically slow down the body's natural degradation mechanisms, or even better, start reversing a few of them? That'd be a very good question to answer.

What kind of impact would fully switching to this kind of meat would have on hypertrophy?

Pretty useful info, thank you, never realized one could get away with just WOFF nowadays.

We've actually had a pretty good time hiring for both Haskell and Clojure, it attracts a certain type of developer that a team like mine likes to work with. There are certainly applicants from the groups you mentioned, and we do our be

AFAIK a big chunk of productive Haskell developers have no understanding of Category Theory.

I wrote the core of our system in Clojure a couple of years ago, which is pretty high in productivity and actually quite pleasant to work with. Unfortunately as the scale goes up (hundreds of web application routes, sharing code among multi

There are a few startups out there who use it as their core tech. It's a sweet spot because you don't have any legacy code to support and it allows you to slap together fairly stable code fairly fast, at least once you get to know

Ultimately this is a good problem to have, no? Your startup is alive and growing, you can afford an ops team, your product proved itself. Most startups will have been dead for years at this point.

Looks very interesting! Would be great to get an idea of what a typical workflow with this paradigm would look like.

I was going to say, I was expecting an app with a significantly better video chat experience, since that's what most people associate the word "Skype" with, not instant messaging.

Glad to see this problem tackled, it's something I either always wanted to solve myself or have someone else address for me. Should be incredibly useful for busy people who such at keeping in touch.

I'd spend time on IRC where very smart developer hang out and exchange ideas. I learned a lot on there by asking the right questions to people who are much better than me at those skills.

Wonder if this will have any effect on the CMU campus there. That was a really unique place to go to school to. Maybe they can collaborate somehow?

The Atlassian folks seem to be pretty generous with their space even here in SF. Always fun to drop by, thanks for having us :)

(disclaimer: skimmed through the video) Would be interesting to know what specifically about certain advanced PL typesystems he found to be too bureaucratic and where that line is drawn in his language.

I did already. There are multiple issues with that approach: you get only flavor of how to do things, unless you keep jumping teams over and over again for years. It's extremely inefficient way of learning this. You're also puttin

On this topic, where do you guys learn more about architecture of large conglomerates of web services and the latest trends? I read High Scalability and the occasional company blog. Is there anything else out there that might be even better

What is this book's specific niche compared to all the other Haskell books out there?

I'd recommend you guys look into Stackage to relieve some of the cabal hell pain, if not most of it.

The thing with niche languages such as Haskell is that not everybody has to use them, but we ideally would get to enough critical mass that the ecosystem is sustainable, new and better tools are continuously being developed, and it's p

Basically seems like if you're going to be using docraptor heavily, you might as well buy a license and the underlying technology yourself, right?

I'm in a similar boat to OP, so I would be interested to know as well as far as what didn't go so well with wkhtmltopdf.

We're big on Yesod for web apps, so we end up using Haskell for both presentation and crunching the analytics that are shown to teachers and administrators. We have a bunch of internal Haskell tooling for our content pipeline. Upcoming
