Is there a convincing Stimulus vs. React-Rails post anywhere?

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

Must be some valuable advisors then! Makes sense, thanks for answering!

i hear that, but isn't that also a problem for the founders leaving as well? iirc, most (good?) acquisition agreements come under the condition that the founders stay on for a period of time and hit performance goals, and i'm assu

Also why is vesting acceleration given to advisors, rather than employees?

by shay_ker 6y ago
Can anyone explain why vesting acceleration is considered "undesirable" by acquirers and VCs? https://handbook.clerky.com/hiring/vesting-acceleration Does it mess with the company valuation or who gets paid o

Does anyone know what the break-even point is for building/managing your own infrastructure, vs. using cloud services? I'm also curious - what's the rough time/cost of moving to your own infrastructure? I'm sure it

awesome, that's an above and beyond answer! i really appreciate the detail!

can you elaborate?

Surprised they didn't cover transaction id wraparound, which has caused more than a few public outages at scale. IIRC some Postgres folks have a plan to fix it? Maybe Craig knows?

Sure I'm not saying there will be 0 doctors if the salary was lower, but there would certainly be a lot less.
132.
by shay_ker 6y ago
They certainly make less money, but it's still, in general, a high salary. How many doctors would there be if the salary was 60k?
133.
by shay_ker 6y ago
How many doctors would still do the job if they got paid a middle class salary? It's pretty clear, to me at least, that very few would even bother. Veterinarians are a good comparison - there's very few, low salaries, passionate a

That looks awesome! I just hope it's possible to get that kind of treatment for everyone affected.

Great news! What about long-term impacts, like damage to the lungs or heart? We'll likely have a cohort of patients, like "Americans alive during 2020-2021", that'll be greatly impacted by health issues as they get older

Fascinating! Thanks for sharing, I had no idea this was possible.

how does that actually work? Vault has the user/password, and then acts as a gateway to the db?
139.
by shay_ker 6y ago
Interesting. Couple Q's: - Is this basically the config management that's in Heroku, but it's possible to use with anything else? - Any plans for open source? I think that's a big reason why people use Vault, or roll the

Just out of curiosity - what do people use dynamic secrets for? What is a "dynamic" secret anyway?

You gotta hand it to them - Mike & Ajay are fantastic at writing blog posts. Either it's all them, or they have someone helping them, but either way the content is really top-notch. Seems like table-stakes for anyone including the

Are there any PG providers that allow you to do a seamless upgrade, from, say, 12 -> 13? I know logical replication allows you to do this, but with some caveats. Curious what other people's experience is.

This sounds interesting at a high-level, and the octopus is cool, though I'm having trouble understanding how it'd impact my day-to-day. There's a gif on the homepage on how to... add to a "space"? I'm not tota

I absolutely LOVE this. Really considering backing the kickstarter. Some thoughts I had off the top of my head: - This seems feels like a good use case for VR to have something totally immersive. Not sure how steady VR headsets are these da

Cool! I don't have much data on how many companies are using events for key workflows, but I do know that many, many companies would _love_ to replay HTTP requests!

Hi Dan/Ustin, Congrats on the launch. The pain-point makes sense to me. I'm just curious - what's the big picture for you all? I imagine it must be larger than just replay.

I've heard of "NanoVMs" trying to be a thing. Does anyone know much about them or have experience with them? I've heard them as a replacement/improvement over containerizing everything.
