Stack exchange has spent an obscene amount of time optimizing their infrastructure for efficiency on dedicated known hardware. Their DB instances also have 1.5TB of ram. You're not getting that for a few hundred dollars. https:/&

Might as well just use electron at that point since it's easier on the developer side.

If you look at the answers Facebook provided to the US Senate they say: "When the person visiting a website featuring Facebook’s tools is not a registered Facebook user, Facebook does not have information identifying that individual, a

Drivers sometimes go to where the live GPS signal tells them you are instead of the pin. Likewise the pin is sometimes required to be in dumb spots (like the airport) even when there's a much more convenient spot 100 feet down the stre

Loading multiple scripts from one site isn't actually a performance issue. With HTTP2 there's almost no overhead since they all get multiplexed as streams over the same connection. With server push you also don't even have to

Is this any different from letting them use a web browser? If they want to access that stuff they probably already can.

Probably not. Container services really shine when you have a lot of different teams that all need to launch services and not worry about what happens at the hardware level or where they run. This makes sense at a lot of large companies lik

It sounded like a number of devices provided contact syncing with Facebook as well as the ability to backup your contacts and data to the device manufacturer servers. Now, they might have been storing other data that they shouldn't hav

I just graduated college and pretty much all of my friends and everyone I knew there used Messenger as default for text communication. There's plenty of other alternatives, but that's what people seem to prefer. It's a pretty

The feed thing is pretty easy to fix. You just have to tell Facebook you don't want to see posts like that (three dot menu). I did that a while back and don't get any memes or shared links on my feed anymore.

"cost of producing the data" seems really hard to strictly define. What's stopping a company from implementing extremely tedious procedures and billing $100 an hour to discourage people from requesting it? In addition, GPDR s

John Carmack and Kent Beck both work/worked for Facebook so they're probably used to making internal posts in this format. Kent Beck seems to make a lot of FB notes and this isn't anything new. https://www.facebook

Not sure how closely you read the article, but it's a personal post talking about tweet engagement. It doesn't even mention Facebook nor is it an official Facebook post.

I haven't taken the stance that all docker containers can run untrusted code, but I've certainly done my best to harden my docker containers as much as possible. If you took a look at that write up I cover it. I run with the flags

There's definitely use cases for Docker with Go that mostly revolve around running untrusted code or wanting to be able to set tight restrictions on CPU usage, memory etc. Though you could also just do the latter via cgroups. Another u

This was mostly just a toy project, I wouldn't recommend actually using it for anything. It's kind of depends when it comes to performance. A perfect implementation would likely get better performance than all those databases ther

I actually ran into some of the same problems while trying to write a bw-tree implementation a couple of years ago. My naive implementation ended up having very poor performance compared to other in memory KV stores due to the inefficient b

Except that passwords at least protect you if your hardware key is stolen. Using just a hardware key seems similarly risky to just using a password.

I assume this also relates to which organic posts show up too. They use similar machine learning models for both ads and user/page posts.

Most of the income is coming from advertisers and not users. Presumably companies spend more money on advertising around the holiday season.

The issue with IPNS is it's based off of public private key crypto which means the "domain" is a hash and has no name recognition. While still useful, it's not going to make its way into the mainstream anytime soon. For

You can run CRDB with only one replica per range. You just lose a lot of reliability if a node goes down. They also only handle data corruption at the cluster level so there's not really any tools to extract data from a partially corru

There's definitely cases where a distributed database will have higher bandwidth than a single-node database. Since each range is replicated across 3 machines, that means if you have a lot more nodes than 3, the overlap of ranges signi

by d4l3k 9y ago
Yeah, though from what I understand this benchmark is measuring both transactional read and write performance rather than just join performance. Transactional writes are likely the slowest thing since they need to talk to all replicas.

Except it probably won't ever happen. Charging anything turns off the vast majority of users.

They probably assumed that if devs couldn't access the data anymore it wouldn't be a problem in the future. > We'll require developers to not only get approval but also sign a contract in order to ask anyone for access to
