This is how many horizontally scalable OLTP databases operate too (e.g. DynamoDB, Citus): picking a partition key, then deterministically routing work associated with that partition key to the proper, well, partition.

What's your basis for that speculation? The solution is a simple predicate. Assuming both events are internally consistent (i.e. end time after beginning time) they won't overlap so long as the beginning of the first comes after t

For one, they serve different purposes. Haxl is specifically for concurrent data retrieval while BEAM is a general purpose platform for fault-tolerant computation. For another, they operate via different interfaces. BEAM languages communica

To play devil's advocate (as a huge FP fan myself), it's undeniably harder to find a Haskell-literate programmer compared to a Go one. If an organization is going to be changing and maintaining software, too, it can also be unwarr

Came here to say the same thing. Appears to be a very short and insubstantial marketing piece.

Fascinating – thanks very much. As you alluded to, this does sound like an ideal use case for Kafka these days. What understanding of your access patterns did you have before you decided to engineer the system that you did? Also, I'm c

They definitely got their money back, but venture economics dictate that the fund is paid for by the outlier returns (10 to 100 to 1000x or more) rather than a nice 1.5x.

Out of interest, what makes you think it was ever not this way? I recently reread the Isaacson Ben Franklin biography and one thing which struck me was how much time he put into crafting his public persona. The comment up this thread holds

I disagree (that it was inevitable...obviously it ended up not being a good fit, ha). This comment from the original announcement has an insightful point of view on how much sense it could make to have someone concerned with correctness and

Karpathy in particular has built an excellent personal brand, lots of which is through his blog. It seems that technically backgrounded "explainers", á la Neil deGrasse Tyson or Richard Feynman, Elon Musk or even Bill Nye, can cre
