The amount of ephemeral content (stories, expiring content) being created/shared has a larger impact on capacity and provisioning than you might expect.

There's no meaningful benefit to dedicating any amount of DC equipment just to stale content. Those are spindles (and networks) that could be taking meaningful hot reads and writes, and colocating stale and hot data is generally a bett

PIPs are not exclusively foregone conclusion/CYA before firing. I've personally been on a PIP while in the "red zone" before an expected promotion, and came out the other side with an "exceeds" rating and said

Many FB datacenters use evaporative cooling systems rather than traditional A/C, basically spraying water into the incoming air supply to cool it below outdoor ambient temperatures. The hotter it is outside, the more water is needed to

Yes, and there are a number of past stunts that include forking the Linux repo, pushing fake/misleading commits, and then showing how Github lets you see those commits in a context that implies they are part of the upstream Linux repo.

A 20 mile radius of any airport likely covers a significant portion (60-70%) of all urban/suburban population. They might as well just give up on that spectrum at that point.

I suspect you are fighting the tide of common practice in the Python community. In your example, switching from `import foo` to `from foo import bar` is changing the entire nature of the import. Sorting module- and from-imports separately a

Actually, modern versions of black will retain the fluent style you prefer, though it will collapse up to the first method call on the first line within the parens, so you end up with something like: foo = ( spark.read.parquet

Give µsort a try instead; it's focused on providing more safety when applying sorting to large codebases, and is designed to pair well with black out of the box: https://usort.readthedocs.io https://ufmt.omnilib.

That's something we're aware of, and something we've considered, but also potentially dangerous from a safety standpoint, due to Python's dynamic nature, and how much moving imports can affect runtime semantics. Any impl

We've written a number of words on "Why µsort", including a comparison to isort: https://usort.readthedocs.io/en/stable/why.html The biggest reason is µsort's detection of sortable "blocks

Absolutely! We're hoping that the vast majority of modules are good citizens, but we also know that the reality not perfect. That's why µsort allows you to configure a list of modules with known import-time side effects, and µsort

Meta has a number of publicly-announced datacenter locations that were built and operated specifically by/for Meta. It's probably safe to assume it's located in one or more of those datacenters.

Do you expect other people to add your project as a dependency of their projects, and call into your API? Then it's a library. If the only expected users of your API is your own project, it's an application. And yes, if you need t

Ah, you're right. I thought Poetry had adopted PEP 621 already, but it looks like there's still a debate about if/how they want to do that. A bit ironic considering the author of Poetry was listed as an author on PEP 621, and

As a Python infra person, I would refine that to: If you're building an application, use Poetry. If you're building a library, use Flit. Use PEP621 metadata in pyproject.toml regardless. Poetry is much more focused on managing dep
