   I didn't leave due to the realization that the company was unethical, but there is a correlation there. I left because I got burnt out by the culture built around performance incentives. I didn't encounter anyone at the company wh

   Oh cool, I didn't know about this. I guess they tend to publish more infrastructure-oriented papers, which is understandable, but I wish there was more in general about the developer APIs that they enable and how they benefit productiv

   It is an ORM, but I wouldn't call it just an ORM. I don't have experience with NHibernate, but most ORMs I have experience with feel like just a way progammatically build queries. I found EntMutator to provide nice abstractions to

   Unethical companies get rewarded for their unethical behavior instead of being held accountable in any meaningful way. They then use their vast resources to grow their engineering force at an incredible rate. Moving fast means they are also

   I'm surprised that they published the more recent paper discussed in part 2 [0] since, IIRC, TAO has supported atomic transactions since at least when I was there a few years ago, but better late than never I suppose. I wonder if that

   It's something I'm willing to explore once I have more comprehensive benchmarks. Right now the ones I have are significantly weighted on integer operations that I think will be hurt by the additional pointer indirection. Once my b

   I would love to see some benchmarks that demonstrate the impact of the more optimized representation. I found that despite some possibly sub-optimal performance trade-offs in favor of productivity in my own hobby interpreter, it can still d

   Hey Sam! Just a minor correction; The unified data access later at Facebook is the Ent Framework, which can be backed by different data stores such as MySQL, TAO, or ZippyDB. It is also primarily accessed by one monolithic service, so it&#x

    Since it mentions that Ractors are inspired by the actor model, I'm surprised that it doesn't make any comparisons to how various actor model implementations in other languages handle backpressure

    I'm curious how well Replicache composes together with web state management libraries such as Redux and Apollo GraphQL. My closest experience with something like Replicache's offline view is optimistic responses in GraphQL[1]. May
