In memory caches have scalable concerns and require sticky load balancer. You'd need to decentralize the cache (eg create a db for the session information) to allow horizontal scaling of services so this approach is generally considere

Makes me feel old because I remember that world. I lived in DOS. I remember trying to download Doom2 over telephone. All 32mb of it zipped - it took hours. Then we'd play 'networked' over phone.

Amazon isn't making this, they probably don't see samples of every good, and they definitely don't grind up the whole product and test it. It's paint and pigment that has lead/cadmium so only certain colours and por

"One size fits all" is what you're looking for at school but you have the luxury of only having one person to mentor so they are a good person to ask first! They will tell you about their learning experiences, what worked and

I don't want to be managed. Tell me the objective and give me the freedom to meet it for you. I'm smart. You don't hire smart people and tell them what to do. You hire smart people and let them tell you what to do.

I cap it at apx 40 hours a week. Sometimes I'll hack late if I'm inspired. I can pull little bursts but I do not let work pressure drive me to do more than what is healthy.

I am somewhat of a systems engineer but more in the distributed systems space rather than embedded systems. I guess: - runtime/space complexity and general algorithmic heuristics to know how the system will perform, or to be able to fi

You should show him nibbles - this was something I made in C when I was 17 or 18 - could be the next step in his production of this game! https://classicreload.com/qbasic-nibbles.html

If demand for your skills outweighs the availability of them in the skills market, then you'll make an excellent living. So your skills need to be in high demand. Compared to the competition, either be perceived as "better" (

I don't dislike elixir, I just think scala and akka are better tools for some problems for a few reasons. - BEAM is slow for computation. - Static typing

by ninjakeyboard 8y ago
no elixir/beam is very slow for any computation-heavy tasks.

by ninjakeyboard 8y ago
Also, I have to say that elixir developers are generally not very experienced with it and seem to be generally less desirable than the people who are working with scala. You get rubyists that have some interest in working with elixir becaus

I have experience with both. I have recently been working with Elixir. It's okay. I find the lack of static typing to be some thing I celebrate and curse. Elixir is VERY simple and beam is VERY slow at computation. I wouldn't reco

I don't believe there is a good answer to this as details are missing. What scale are you trying to get to? What level of concurrency? How much state and how often is it accessed? And what are the skill of your engineers. You could wri

The biggest challenge I find is code. If I'm trying to deliver, I can't give myself the thinking time to identify challenges and produce solutions. I can't orchestrate people if I'm under duress to deliver. So really try

Ketamine is hugely psychologically addictive though. It is like saying that opioids should be available to everyone that is in any pain. The level of addiction caused may be different because the opioid user has to contend with the negative

Oh man thanks for posting this. Did not expect to see this come. I have both of them ("Refactoring" and then the "ruby edition") - it's a part of my vocabulary. Also thanks to other posters who describe their view o

That is true - alcohol is both nmda antagonist (the stumbly ataxia) and gaba agonist (effect on anxiety.) GHB IMO is not nearly as gnarly of a substance as alcohol because it sort of has a ceiling but withdrawal from any gabaergic is uncomf

Well in the case of an nmda receptor antagonist, the harm can be pretty high. For example, alchohol is an nmda receptor antagonist and is considered to have one of the highest social costs of any drugs.

I was a ketamine user for a long time. My use turned into a problem but I'm realizing that my use patterns were basically: Use, wait until depression returned, crave a cure from my depression, use. In a clinical setting I'm sure t

"Sell Houses" does not mean "A Service to Put your house on the market" in this case. Title on HN is a bit misleading.

I saw an ea meme the other day: Buy a bubbletea, get the ingame content: Straw and bubbles. That's not a knock on the developers or content quality though. It's a knock on the business model. You guys make beautiful things.

I only regret experiencing poor leadership styles (but am also thankful to see them.) The product is a result of the team led by leadership so any and all of the factors in there ultimately lead to what is built. Reading the other posters t

Why is he writing the post on medium instead of a platform that doesn't have the issues mentioned?
