It doesn't have to be electric, thermal is fine too where appropriate.

I have never had that problem and have probably returned ~100 items over the years. YMMV I guess.

Sure, there are plenty. Nobody is buying them.

There's much more to this than you cite. There's Betriebsrat and Sozialplan etc. I'm not at all saying any of this is bad, but it does play an important role when companies make decisions about where to put their engineering

The customer service is pretty amazing compared to most other stores, at least in my opinion. Returns are easy and free, and you get a replacement shipped right away but have weeks to return the item.

Having worked in the EU and the US, here are some differences that I think are relevant for global employers: - The hiring pool is much smaller than in the US, one reason is probably demographics and lack of skilled immigration. This makes

And yet there is very little tech immigration into Europe, comparatively. Must be the low salaries.

Most H1-B visas don't go to engineering roles. Expanding those quotas wouldn't affect engineering salaries, but probably IT support roles, etc.

Shrug, you have no idea what you are talking about [1]. Also nginx and passenger are webservers and claiming they are not part of your web app is a pretty wild claim when they literally send http responses to browsers (unlike memcached). [1

Your assumption that humans consume this data is wrong. It's actually machines that need it.

Because people know Ruby well, including use cases that it's not a good fit for. We use Go in other places, too.

First implementation was in Rails because the company is a Rails shop and the monolith was the easiest place to get something that works. If you rewrite it anyway, might as well use something else than ruby. The db (mysql) is not the proble

Sorry I was oversimplifying. Most of the data for the response comes from the db with some API calls for authorization and some auxiliary data. Benchmark was actually hitting the DB. Quite a bit of the 1mb response size is redundant (json-a

It's a backend use case.

1MB is "absurdly large"? This is not the Todo app industry sorry. This is paginated (page size of 1000) and the caller chooses only the attribute they need already, thanks. Even successful companies care whether they need to run 1

The test was local, ie using the loopback interface on a large server.
291.
by jupp0r 3y ago
It's a paginated list of 1000 objects of 1kb size each. Any nontrivial API will have responses like that. My entire point was that Rails is not designed for this.

Ruby the language may be fast but the whole ecosystem is painfully slow. Try writing a server that serves 1mb of json per request out of some db query and some calls to other services. I get 100 requests per second in Rails. Same service r

Google, Facebook, Amazon and Twitter beg to differ (not completely C++, but for services where it makes sense). Also nginx, passenger and other parts of your Ruby app.

I found it to be a generally useful rule to never "ORDER BY created" but instead "ORDER BY created,id" instead to achieve stable sorting. I recently added some indices to a few tables to speed up a complicated query with

You have to find a way to get to that particular statement in the code though. That can be super hard in itself.

Let's do the math. I'm leaving out capital costs for Diablo Canyon because I'm guessing it's paid off at this point. Diablo Canyon is producing 2 GW. $6B / (5 years * 2 GW) is approximately $0.069/kWh. That so

From my understanding in this implementation there is some amount of knowledge about the model itself needed to determine what parts to place in system memory vs what parts to place in GPU memory. Can this ideally be computed automatically

I see your point. The question is what happened between 1995 and 2009 that lead to different choices in language design? Java?
