There is another benefit from using the fastutil library, decreased memory usage, which in some cases very significant depending of course on your data structures.

This reminds me of Brussels, a lot of "independent" bakeries basically get either frozen or already baked bread delivered early morning from somewhere else, probably a big bakery that exists on the outskirts of the city that does

Maybe due to the fact that I played all his games on a laptop and I hated the mac trackpad I decided to use mostly the hotkeys that are provided. That worked great and also sped things up significantly.

Did you mean 9 billion clicks or impressions daily? 50 person team to run an adnetwork on tech side only? I am really curious why did it take that many people before going to Lambdas. We are in the adtech space also and there is a 5 persons

We had the same issue where I work and we are doing a very similar thing but on a way larger scale (adtech) for audience building and we actually resorted to compressed bitmaps since postgres was not cutting it. It's fairly easy to jus

c) you are able to pull it off in a calm manner, preferably something that could be perceived as you just asking for a clarification, but still leaves the meeting in a slightly uncomfortable state because the bullshitter's "expla

The investigation for those three companies mentioned is complete and they have to pay the taxes. Now if they finally will do after years of appeals that's a different question. That was my "aka" summary.

Sure, there was some news that EC has dealt with Amazon, Starbucks, InBev but did they actually pay anything back? Did they appeal? Last I heard for InBev the Belgian Finance minister said: "the consequences for the companies concerned

I am just curious, can you find a concrete example of where the interests of the people and state were put above the interests of the lobby groups of the big corporations?

I am not a manager and though I agree that sometimes there can be issues with managers/leadership I am really curious why you are defending coders."Coders" that actually do not try to improve themselves and read up on good pr

I am curious if the other streaming video providers are doing something on the same principle to the Netflix Open Connect. Just by assuming that 5-10% of their actual Netflix video traffic gets served from AWS and the rest gets served from

I also will act as a recommendation engine and suggest you listen to Detective (the first season is really really good). https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/detective/id1029038371

Nick, first of all great write-up, it's really nice when people take time from their schedule to write such detailed informations about how their internal systems work! I could be wrong but from the article and the numbers you posted i

This should be the top answer. As much as I would love another reason to hate Facebook, I don't really think they actually capture the app user's voices.

I sincerely doubt the fact that there are companies which thoroughly fix "technical debt".

Sorry, I wanted to say that I am not actually not familiar with your product and was not aware of the feature in which you can create audiences for running ad campaigns. From the article I thought the sets were used mostly for real time ana

I am not gonna suggest that one solution fits all. Maybe you have different requirements but in our case (adtech) offering near real time reporting with a standard error rate of 0.81% is very good.

Hello Jeffrey, First I wanted to say that your post is very nicely written and full of juicy details! :) Regarding the sets database, I had to solve quite a similar problem at the company where I work and instead of sets I actually chose t

Honestly I think removing those movies that the user is not interested in from the list that netflix is recommending to you could be related to a scaling/optimisation/coding issue on their side regarding the results from the recom

I totally agree with you. Even if a binary tree is considered a fundamental data structure I think CS is a large ass domain and you can go for years programming, designing data structures and working with algorithms without the need to reim

Even if a single box would be capable to handle that many requests, you should never have just one box to be the main entry point to your server (failsafe). I also suspect he refers to 300k distributed across multiple datacenters.

I suspect a lot of people are interested in the tech used when handling 300k QPS and I wish you could give more details about it.

I too have this problem when commenting on HN vs Reddit. When a badly phrased comment would be actually taken lightly on reddit here it gets easily misunderstood. That is one of the reasons I do not comment as much as I wish. I honestly thi

Thanks for the answer. I met a couple of developers employed and contracted by the EU / Parliament, I really don't want to generalise this but they did not seem the type that would work on such software that you linked to...or the
