230MB of Heap is very small for most ES usages, and is likely the reason for you needing to restart it often. I run some very large clusters and even with older versions of ES have seen them run billions of indexing and query operations wit

It's not dominant, it's apparently perceived that way within tech circles because they focus on tech. There's not a good apples to apples comparison of public data, but for instance... Medium 20k authors per week: http:&#x2F

George was, but not everyone was. I had done very little PHP before Automattic, though I've certainly learned a lot of PHP since joining. We're also hiring for a lot of other development positions: - https://automattic.

I pretty much agree that's a higher probability way to make money. I think "the real unicorn" is working for and with good people though.

Analytics and advertising are core parts of how publishing works as a business, but they often seem to be implemented without thinking about speed. AMP makes it harder (impossible?) for them to misuse analytics and advertising by putting th

Interesting. This basically uses the background word2vec data for the entire Web to provide more information and help with things like disambiguation, synonyms, etc? Am I understanding that correctly? Maybe nit-picky thought, but its not cl

Lucene is moving away from TF-IDF to BM25 as the default. Pretty similar idea, but tends to performs a better with short content. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6789 https://en.wikipedia.o

You're right, that was inelegantly written and kinda conflates two different things. Gates are spread around for fixing design errors as you describe. There is also often redundant logic and memory built in to allow fixing individual c

If we can find folks who do both, that's great. That's a hard unicorn to find. :) We're really hiring both data scientists and data engineers. In my case I do a bit of both, but lean more towards scaling large systems. We als

Thanks for applying. Sorry we didn't get back to you promptly. That should never happen. Our process is different enough that we are still trying to figure out how to scale it well. Some more details, the pre-test before the trial proj
