   Besides, in tech, most of the time you get what you payed for. So if you lowball you will probably get low talent. This is a global market, so you can also grab US jobs for half the pay and make alot of money anyway.

   There are some fintechs already paving the way and abstracting psd2 away. I just tried to log into my bank using tink (no affiliation) and it worked great.

   I believe that in db context, vectorization means batch processing column wise. Quoting the CockroachDB blog post: Using vectorized processing in an execution engine makes more efficient use of modern CPUs by changing the data orientation (

   You can also tap shift a couple of times and a pop-up appears with all possible options (a superset of cmd shift a)

   Metosin stuff is really nice too (compojure-api, malli, reitit). And while we are at it, ztellman's aleph and manifold are sweet too.

   I generally agree with your statement, otoh I have used some libs that are not being actively maintained for years and they still work, out of the box. Clojure strength is its weakness. But yes, there is a long way to make it more beginner

    Also, it seems that Raft is easier to understand and implement, according to some papers and blog posts I skimmed.

    But on these processors, I believe the frequency is rarely sustained right? Due to thermal throttling and other factors.

    I'm wondering did anyone actually tried it? It's not impossible for an automated tool to give valuable feedback over a PR guys. Should be easier than a self driving car I guess

    I prefer dotfiles too, I recently built a new machine and was able to configure most of stuff just by using dotfiles. By carefully managing scripts (mostly .zshrc) I can even use the same dotfiles between mac and linux.

    For me there are two big contributors to flow (and flow may not be the same for everyone): requirements are very well understood and willingness to code the requirements. If it's boring or boilerplate it doesn't work. Otherwise, s

    Article is thin but had loads of links. It's more of a compendium than an article. I completely agree that microservices are more organizational related than tech related.

    Netflix is a good comparison because google will need to secure rights for AAA games, and some games don't appear in all platforms. Fortunately, a user can install Steam/GOG/Origin whatever and just pay for a single game, unl

    First google hit: https://www.yugabyte.com/yugabyte-db-vs-cockroachdb/ My understanding is that CDB is a bit more focused on correctness before focusing on performance.

    I'm guessing the creators solved a real business need and decided to go open source. Really nice folks btw. Props to juxt.

    I'd just like to add that is easier to compare candidates using algorithm challenges (you can check if the candidate reached the optimal solution, how long it took and so on). I dislike this kind of interviewing because you miss the ch

    Thanks for the detailed account. Most of the stuff you mentioned can be totally fixed with a shift of perspective. In fact, as long as you compare with your peers you will feel somewhat unhappy. I'm pretty sure lots of people at FAANGs

    Yeah, we used nginx-push-stream-module[1] to support 1M connections with lower boxes. Websocket-as-a-service. Really cool module. Was a realtime project for a live TV contest where people could participate with their phones. [1] https:&#x2

    I'm pretty sure colocation is cheaper if you know what you're doing (what to buy, where to colocate, what kind of bandwidth required, etc). I'm also pretty sure a good portion of cloud customers don't know or don'

    Yeah until it comes back and bites you in the a$$. Even toy projects take longer than supposed because we devs think it's a one time thing only. My experience is most of the time software lasts much longer than expected.

    Java has a pauseless GC called Shenandoah, and Zing JVM from Azul systems also has pauseless ZGC (I believe Zing implemented it first). What most people don't realize is that eg. Shenandoah can slow down the allocation rate to keep GC

    Well, someone has to fix the mess we created, since it will persist long after we parents are gone.
