Do you mind shooting me an email (in profile) with questions you would like to see answered? I'll try to do that in a followup post.

That's why we ran TPC-DS as well.

You're still dealing with query slots though -- which remains difficult to estimate. As far as I know the only way to figure that out is to actually run the query and then check how many slots it used. Am I wrong? I'm certainly no

I agree that they were both created with different problem domains. I mainly take issue with the fact that they selected a single query in a large benchmarking suite and used that to claim that BigQuery was categorically better than redshif

former SpaceX employee: There are a couple of YouTube videos around where they talk about the nature of the systems. I'm pretty sure I can't talk about it but I'll try to find the videos.

"Nothing practical to show" ... I think you may be misinformed. There are a great deal of practical advancements (raptor engine, carbon fiber tanks, software and sensor suites that enable autonomous landing). There's tons of

Any IOP on EBS is measured in 16kb granularity. Not the same as block size but helpful to know because it lets you set your read ahead and other values to not lower than 16kb. At least this was the case for many years. Trying to find the of

How exactly have you been doing that? It would be a cool blog post if you had the time. I've been thinking about really high volume applications that connect to haproxy instances that do DB load balancing but even that has it's ow

I think acloud.guru is served through lambda. I think if you go the single page app route with S3 + cloudfront CDN + API gateway + lambda (so many words/things) you can deliver a really high quality product. You can also cache response

randhunt@amazon.com -- I'd love to know more. Happy to make amends and figure out a path forward. No response from support should never be the customer experience. Get in touch and I'll take care of it.

You're describing 3 extremely different issues though -- it's easy for something going wrong to involve helium tanks because it's something that's used in the rocket that can lead to an overpressure event.

Just a clarification-- the chargers burst to that 80kW range but they don't maintain it. Typical charging is closer to the 10-20kW range. In addition people are not constantly charging.

I've never actually experienced this. I believe the 320 amp / 320 volt charging is for emptier cars... I've plugged in at a 100% full charger and gotten full power charging.

by ranman 10y ago
Just to clarify -- it does not maintain that power. It will quickly ramp up to that on empty-ish batteries (320 amps at 320 volts is max that I know of) and maintain that until the battery is ~50% full. It will then ramp down and charge mor

We didn't have any issues with lost data but we had a lot of operational issues that didn't have clear fixes. Primarily around TLS, migrations, and performance. We had to contact support for many issues because the documentation f

Ran Riak CS in production and had constant issues. It's not terrible but it's also not ideal. I would caution against anyone depending on it for mission critical systems. Many of the failure modes are undocumented.

I think that may have been the case earlier on but the company has certainly matured and I don't see this anymore. Maybe I'm missing it but I think a lot of that reputation is unwarranted. No one is going to stop you from over-wor

FWIW I work at spacex and have gotten offers from competitors. I don't regret staying at SpaceX and I enjoy my job -- I also work very reasonable hours on meaningful work. There are times where I'll work 80+ hour weeks close to a
