The data wasn't petabytes 3 years ago, it grew to that amount over time. But with that said, if you have replication and operational workflows set up, you minimize the chance of issues. If you have mission critical data, you should set

I've been using docker in production with Elasticsearch and MySQL for 3 years in the PB scale and have never had data corruption issues occur. Corruption occurs on data drives even without docker - you still have to plan for it. This i

I didn't know Google will actually display graphs now - is this a new thing? I've been using Wolfram Alpha up until now for getting quick graphs, though using Google would certainly be faster.

It's really unfortunate that most startups appear to be set up with ISO shares. The company I am at now is an LLC and distributes RSUs, which meant when I joined I was able to file an 83/b form which minimizes my tax impact. At my

Everyone I know who has learned Go has encountered this issue. "What's this GOPATH env variable? What should it be set to?" When I personally learned Go this (and how go do/doesn't do vendoring) was the hardest th

Interviewing is a funny thing. I remember when I graduated from a "Top School" and interviewed at "hot startups" from the valley. I aced a lot of the interviews - why? Because I had just taken classes on LinkedLists, Bin

I guess their latest Pebble version didn't get the sales they expected. Definitely surprising that they weren't able to sell the company - they had the brand and a loyal customer base. As an owner of a Pebble Time, I was impressed

Nice job, could you provide some example configurations in the readme?

I'm hoping nobody actually does this in production. As an academic exercise it is interesting. Maybe I'm old fashioned - I'm all for flexible APIs and all, but to its point. If a customer sends rotten stuff, it should just be

I love IFTTT, but one of the biggest missing features is the ability to do If This ... OR this ... Then That... And That And That. Unfortunately, all of the recipes are one dimensional - so you can't build recipes like "When my ne

I've been running docker in production for about 3 years. Almost every time I've hit a problem, it has had nothing to do with docker (though everyone likes to blame it). 99% of the time the issues I've encountered are due to

Kudos to analyzing the data! I wonder how the duplicate file detection was implemented. Was it just take a hash of the file contents and see if the hash already exist? Was it compare the file name? I imagine that many duplicates may exist t

I didn't personally, but I do think introducing more software development processes into the curriculum would've been beneficial.

I don't think writing bug reports is as simple as it seems. Sometimes it actually takes time (and experience) to learn how to communicate an issue them properly. Writing steps to reproduce, which systems, etc

Sort of surprised to see most of the comments on here actually defending the companies that put so much weight on these types of tests. I think many people assume that interviewers are looking for "thought process" but from my e

Why are Twitter's expenses so high? Don't get me wrong, scaling is hard... But at the same time, they don't have the issues of scaling photos or videos (like Facebook).

I'm confused. I bought shares this year and would be hit with 50K tax bill from AMT next year. Does this mean I don't owe AMT addition next year?

YMMV obviously, but I think the Google assistant has been mostly accurate (in my case). I follow NBA, and have a few friends in a Facebook group chat where we just talk about NBA. I tried to move the group to Allo, because the assistant is
