I did a little googling, and still find the answers are "logical replication, which is slow for large DB's" or "pg_upgrade, which requires nontrivial downtime". Gitlab wrote a much more in-depth rundown in 2020 of a

Yeah, they architect their application to accept DB downtime – but I'm sure their services are still degraded to some degree or another during this, and they aren't clear how much total DB downtime they need for this (and how that

I don't have intuition here, but perhaps transferring two bytes over a slow network takes longer than the string normalization and dictionary lookup?

Exactly. Two additions: - N95's are used in many other industrial settings - medical is just where they're used to protect against covid. They're terrific masks when used appropriately. - N95's do nothing to protect agai

Anecdotally, the hospital my partner works at has been frantically converting almost all of their floors to covid floors due to the influx of patients. But, few require ICU/ventilator. So yes it's bad/dangerous in that hospit

Yeah, I got one of those and sold it within a week. Bought a used Concept2 Model B (from the early 90's or so) and have loved it.

Hmm, we're discussing "just how general-purpose can your general-purpose language be?", no? Ie, if a company wanted to use one language for everything, where would they be essentially unable to? Keep in mind "a compiler&

Sure, JS isn't ideal for compilers, but it is quite good - typescript is a better and more performant compiler than many languages have, as just one example. You wouldn't be crazy for choosing JS for a new compiler project, ev

JS is also great for scripting, but really isn't popular for ML or data science (no pandas/numpy/scipy equivalents I think, other than tensorflow.js). I'm curious how Nim fares for DS/ML.

Ah, I see the misconception - "high throughput" means a system processes a lot of stuff in a given span of time, not necessarily that each individual item is processed quickly. But many people use it like the latter.
443.
by rattray 5y ago
The question at hand is concurrency, not single-threaded performance.

> Python is the tool I pick ... not for highly performant systems Many high-throughput, high-concurrency systems run on Python, famously including Instagram and Pinterest (which see quite a lot of traffic).

According to the tweet, the "benchmark" used was "Stripe's production API traffic". Certainly will have its biases but not a microbenchmark. Regardless, I hope to hear of some kind of apples-to-apples comparison as
