Yep - we've run many switchback tests so I'm happy to chat more about it. It's a lot more akin to what you're building here, from a stats point of view.

If I’m understanding correctly, this switches your profile on some interval between A and B, whereas a proper A/B test will randomly bucket a user to experiment A or B. Not that it matters - this solution is probably the right way to g

Is this paper peer-reviewed?

Are there any blog posts that details, soup-to-nuts, how to deploy a webapp with sqlite on something like AWS or GCP or Render?

it's against the ToS to have multiple accounts: https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-t...

lol i did both at the same time. also it turns out that having more than one GH free account is against the terms of service: https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-t...

Yep, the question is about what’s legally defensible!

by shay_ker 5y ago
AFAIK in California, personal work that’s done on personal devices outside of work hours aren’t accessible by your employer from a legal perspective. Just not sure if that separation will hold up if you have a single GitHub account.

Right, I’m wondering from a legal perspective if they do

To the QuestDB founders - thanks for the blog post & benchmarks! I had a question about this part: > We found out that this model does not fit all data acquisition use cases, such as out-of-order data I know the whole blog post is ab

Yeah, what you're describing sounds like a work station. Maybe Mighty will allow companies to buy super cheap laptops + Mighty for their non-tech folks to get up & running fast?

by shay_ker 5y ago
I'm sure the cost is worth it to a specific segment of power users of, say, Figma. And maybe cloud gaming? But I'm curious if there's really a larger market for this. I have to imagine they'll eventually have to subsidiz

> If you consider Mighty to be a cheap supercomputer, not an expensive browser, it makes sense to pay $30/month for that For sure, but at the moment it definitely is not that, and it's going to take a long long time before we g

At the lowest price point, i.e. 30/month, you'd be paying $1440 every 4 years... for a browser?? I kind of understand the price point if you're getting a whole "computer in the cloud" kind of thing, but for just a

Is there a technical reason that cloud stores charge egress fees, or is it just purely "we want to disincentivize people from using competitors"?

Does anyone use Live Preview / Live Views in Phoenix, but in production with a B2C product? I'm a bit skeptical of Rails performance with the method the author details here, given that Ruby is much, much slower than Elixir. I&#x27

Brutal - Unicorn didn't use Rack.env in a thread safe way. It's tougher given that this was in a widely used app-server and not even in Rails code. Impressed with GH folks in finding this, though I wonder how many more of these ty

How do these domain-specific quirks get into WebKit? Is it advocated by the companies? By the users? By the devs? I'm just curious how these changes actually make it to millions of people's browsers

What do Jetbrains customers mostly use? From my understanding, it's mostly Intellij and GoLand, and some PyCharm. At least two of the three are languages that are every difficult to be productive in with Sublime or Vim alone. I guess P

Some of the frustrations were also about removing standups, grading yourself, and no attendance. Can you speak to that as well?

Gotcha. Thanks for answering all my q's!

I see. To my small brain it sounds like TD can intelligently memoize or cache the outputs of each "step" so that it only recalculates when it needs to as the inputs change. I think Spark does that sometimes these days, but I don&#

by shay_ker 6y ago
That's very helpful, thanks! I think I still have to wrap my head around _why_ being stateful allows TD to respond faster, but maybe I just gotta dig deeper and see for myself.

This is maybe a silly question, but what's the difference between the timely dataflow that Materialize uses and Spark's execution engine? From my understanding they're doing very similar things - break down a sequence of func
