Your comment is naive but I’m dying to know: how would you measure better?

There isn't any correlation between the quality of product design and how the bits arrive at your browser.

It being a Rails app isn't a problem. A whole bunch of noise and features that have nothing to do with collaboration or managing the versioning of code is the problem.

This seems like a lose-lose proposition. If people don't care about handmade or supporting indy creators then Etsy is destined to get smaller. If they abandon that niche they go from a future of being smaller to being non-existant tryi

Investing in an internal effort is an operational or capital expense that may do nothing if ineffective, decrease costs if effective, or create a revenue stream. These forced spending arrangements are revenue drivers. It is not the same.

Investors of Amazon who are buying a false reality of AWS revenue growth.

Investments as gift cards that can only be used at the investor is essentially quid-pro-quo, anti-competitive, and should be illegal. That goes for AWS, Microsoft, and anyone else doing it.

What you’re describing is basically ext4. I do know there are some proprietary databases that use raw block devices. The downside being that you also need to make your own user space utilities for inspecting and managing it.

The point they're trying to make is that the A in CAP is ambiguous. If your timeout is unbounded and a request completes an hour/day/month/year or more later is the system available?

> If you squint a little, a file system and a database are the same thing This is a tale and argument as old as time. It’s the squinting that is the problem. The devil is in the details.

$$$ and a strange API. The internal metrics service that Amazon has used for ages works much better for power users. CW is slowly becoming like it.

It’s important to note that the move down in rates happened when the Treasury announced they will be issuing primarily short term notes rather than long dated bonds.

Depending on the file size and available memory, yes. In the event memory needs to be reclaimed Linux’s memory management system will free from the page cache first if processes need more anonymous memory.

Good paper and overall the right opinion but not very relevant to a relatively simple system as OP described since they weren't dealing with safety, transactions, etc.

> Raise your hands if you’d rather go back to a world without Airbnb Step outside of the software bubble we’re in and I’d guess 80% or more people would prefer a world without Airbnb. A significant part of the population does not use Air

Snowflake is worth at least 25% of Salesforce so such an acquisition is very unlikely unless Salesforce has $60 billion or more burning a hole in their pocket.
