It feels like Cantrill being a creator of DTrace earns at least the credibility to be called a 'DTrace expert' without quotation marks.

We've managed to accomplish something similar for cryptocurrencies, too, with overpowered exchanges!

Trino is the community-open-source fork of Presto (they were recently required to change the name from PrestoSQL, which they had been using to make the Presto lineage clear). (not affiliated in any way). https://trino.io/

Why must Amazon pass off its savings to your org, in this example, rather than taking most of those realized R&D savings to their own investors? Sure, AWS may be constantly innovating on doing things more cheaply and scalably. Sometimes

According to their pricing page, a 50TB SSD from Nimbus costs $12,500. That would have been worth the expense in DBA time alone, right? Edit: added the link. https://nimbusdata.com/products/exadrive/pricing/

If I could swap over to the parallel universe where the big data landscape was implemented in Rust instead of Java, I would make that trade. Hopefully there would be other good things about that universe, too.

There are many jobs where a lack of attention to detail (i.e. spelling) on your resume will get you tossed aside from consideration. It's not unreasonable to request a Director of Engineering be held to a similar standard on a public-f

I think you may find R an excellent tool/ecosystem for that kind of work.

That's a bit of a misconception. From what I understand, Amazon's non-AWS branches don't get deeply-discounted services from AWS. There is a discount, but it's not enough to turn dark skies into sunshine and rainbows. Am

If you're using AWS athena for querying, you're also using the aws glue catalog (managed hive metastore-ish service) to know where partitions are, but yeah, you'll need to partition and sort your data to make sure you're

I may be in the minority here, but I don't think the changes we needed were to make it easier for higher-ups to cash out of a company before rank-and-file get a chance to.

Is there a reason not to consider apache airflow? https://airflow.apache.org/ You could run it on a digital ocean droplet so you don't have to worry about your laptop turning off. It covers retry and cron-style job kic

Yeah, that's scary. The maps integration makes that insanely informative.

And presto's rich functionality for complex data types (maps and arrays) as well as window functions makes some pretty challenging things possible.

When you add in the cost reductions from employees who quit to go somewhere they can get any work done, the savings just keep stacking!

There are a bunch of questions that attempt to proxy how mature the data pipeline/data engineering is of the company you're looking at. * Do you do batch and/or streaming computation? * What kind of access do you have for que

What your casual elitism disregards is that people who actually do the work can have different ideas, especially related to the work they are doing. Put another way, since they have a different perspective than the higher-ups, they are so

6 months after an IPO is often the conclusion of a typical employee lockout period on shares, which can also be a time of more frequent team members leaving. I wonder what the retention incentive period was for Github employees; it's o

I'm actually excited about the possibilities. I've watched DataFusion from afar, and I have spent a decent amount of time wishing the Big Data ecosystem had arrived during a time when something like Rust was a viable option, both
