This article mentions Snapchat's hundreds of employees and multiple offices. This is one of the most obvious examples of the "what are they all doing?" question for me. I know it must take quite a few people to run operations

Would you be willing to post a how-to or example of doing this? I'm curious about how this trick works!

Glide isn't ideal either. It gets confused about vendored dependencies by 3rd party libraries and tries to download them separately. Also, it's invented it's own format for the deps and lock files instead of trying to standar

You're making the assumption that the additional features slowing down the service aren't adding value. More common is a "death by 1000 cuts" scenario where the various causes of slowness are apparent to the developers,

If the back-pressure is abstracted away by this interface, how do you monitor it?

Do you really want to type either of those prefixes thousands of times? Brevity and lack of special chars in the name would be nice to have.

Is it possible that medical advances in the last couple of decades have simply delayed the deaths of many sufferers? Heart disease and cancer survival rates are usually qualified with a number of years, given that they are difficult to full

How did you first discover the bug? Did your deploys just start failing in an obvious way, or did your instances disappear (from ECS's perspective)? I'm wondering if Elastic Beanstalk is hiding this from us in some way. Or maybe j

Did you run ECS on a custom AMI, or use the stock one? We've been running with vanilla EB + ECS for months and haven't seen this at all. From an outside perspective, it sounds like the primary issue you referenced here (the agent

A much simpler solution might look like a whitelisted set of domains/domain patterns that are given priority for network and CPU usage. For example, a meta tag on every page that lists your domain and CDN domain as "primary",

Quiver uses cells, similar to Jupyter/IPython Notebook, and supports inline LaTeX, which is a very useful feature for when you need to display something outside the scope of Markdown (like an equation).

Awesome - looking forward to trying it out again! Definitely would use Sourcegraph with Python support.

Yes! That's the one - thanks!

A while back, there was a service on the front page that was a combination of search engine for code, static analysis, and git repository browser. The initial implementation was for Golang only. Does anybody remember what that project was?

Great tool - we used gor on our team recently to test a rewritten legacy API with captures of real production data. It was invaluable for exposing edge cases in the requests that we hadn't considered.

Machine Learning for _Rust_ Hackers. I had to read one page in to check, but it looks like it's not a cross-language framework - you need to be fluent in Rust to use this.

This "16.7M colours" stat that reporters wave around always gets me. It's just 24-bit color, doesn't mean it's "high tech". I can make you 16.7M colours with a $3 microcontroller and LEDs from the hardware

Don't you need to ship all those builtin lua plugins around with your deployment of heka though? That was what turned me off - most of the other options can be used with a binary + config file.

What kind of physical sensor are you proposing that would give you data like that? I think most ambient light sensors in laptops are just LDRs, which are only capable of giving you a 1D number.

I looked into heka a while back and was turned off by its seeming reliance on lua scripts for almost every feature. It just seemed overcomplicated to deploy and maintain for a Go app as a result, and I didn't understand why all that fu

Why doesn't Elixir/Erlang have this problem too? It's using green threads as well, with 1 "process" per connection, right? Is it not the same kind of scheduling?

Thanks, it would be. We run on AWS so the ease of setting up on GCE doesn't really matter beyond the experimentation phase. If it doesn't already exist, a multi-machine Vagrant setup would probably be helpful too.

Do you have recommendations for another tool to set up a Kubernetes cluster in the first place? At first glance, it seems somewhat complex and easy to misconfigure. Or is that something you plan to support in redspread as well?

It seems like Amazon could fix this in a straightforward way without losing the "hourly updated" part of their bestseller list - just compute a longer time period for each hour, like a rolling average. That way the current bestsel

There was some discussion leading up to the release about whether to merge the "SSA" branch, which seems to be a refactor that allows for easier compile time optimisations but also slows compile times for the time being. Does anyo

There's a lot of disagreement in this thread about the definition of MVP, and I think it stems from the interpretation of the "Viable" part. Based on the definitions by writers who helped popularise the term, like Steve Blank
