That may well happen. Keep in mind California doesn't have full control as a regulatory state: consider the special EPA waiver that came in, along with EPA itself, during the Nixon era. Many regulations one is accustomed to from the Fe

I see nobody has mentioned the "Freedom Funds," so, I will do so now. One of the better known ones: http://www.thebronxfreedomfund.org/ What these are revolving, non-profit bail funds. They screen those who requir

Heh, it's hard to get someone more qualified to look at this issue than Ian Lance Taylor. An unknown member (by most) of the Go team that more ought to know about.

It sounds to me like you might have more of a stress issue than anything else. It is hard for me to imagine someone getting a CS degree but also failing to be able to practice and get better at interview problems on basis of intellect. Don&

No, I agree with means-testing it. Rent control is not means-tested. That's my problem with it.

The problem is this style of rent control, not her.

The strictly financial part of the calculation is important, but personal cost of volatility may be even more important for those in a position to choose to rent or buy. I suggest it should also give pause to those who plan to build extensi

Good. There is no principled reason why a job's value depends on previous salary except insomuch as the previous salary was also a market-set price.

SSL is (was?) required. I left Heroku about a year ago and it's nearly inconceivable that this would be changed, having been the case for many years. I don't think they've implemented certificate validation since I've le

Not right now. Maybe use WAL-E until you upgrade?

I have to be selective about maintenance of features. I'll consider GPG support.

Maybe. Depends what you mean by that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15049691

Do you want GPG based or some other client side encryption, or S3's encryption support? The latter could probably just be turned on. The former is a feature requiring code.

I answered this question in a couple of other places, but: unknown because I don't have use for that yet. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15049527

Unknown, but I don't have an immediate plan to implement them: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15049527

As I'm probably the steward on this going forward: unknown. I don't intend to implement them unless I need them. Would I take a patch with good coverage that implemented those.

I was kafkes's guide on this project, and the WAL-E author and maintainer... I'd say the differences between WAL-G and Barman are similar to WAL-E and Barman, which comes up relatively frequently. https://news.ycombinat

As a random sample of operating time, probably latency constrained, where something like a local disk would be nice. We do have occasional spikes for bulk writes and reads, and the good throughput of large IOPS EBS are instrumental there.

I have rejected this on the basis that stopping and starting an instance is too useful for solving problems. Even with a few striped EBS disks, instance issues solvable by re-attaching the disks via stop/start are probably ten to one

Citus Cloud uses that approach. I designed it with the arithmetic from the page about gp2, http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EBSVolume... . A useful inflection is the "minimum size for ma

The problem is that OpenSSL's API itself is quite complicated and probably not in an entirely necessary way. As but one concrete example, there's almost no particularly satisfying way to handle the "error queue" in a wor

All network addresses of every node is kept the same for-ever, even as they are replaced, via AWS Elastic IPs. The burden on the client application is to timeout and re-connect only.

by fdr 10y ago
Nothing that fancy: Citus has historically had its own replication method where it writes N copies of the data, explicitly controlled by the coordinator node. This imposes locking overheads and would make a multi-machine writing implementa

What I don't understand: no system gets to maintain open transactions for free. MySQL keeps UNDO logs, so the effect there, much like Oracle, is possibly running out of UNDO space, as well as slowing down reads that have to apply UNDO

It's worse than at-cost: it's covering fixed costs only . If you push any bytes (a metered cost) through that ELB, Heroku finances that entirely.

The process that works for my team (Department of Data. Heroku.) is simple: If one expects a review with any timeliness, "@mention" the person(s) you think are qualified to review. Include the urgency of integrating the patch. T
