It's amusing to me how people keep trying to apply engineering principles to an inherently unstable and unpredictable system in order to get a feeling of control. Those prompts should be renamed as hints. Because that's all they a

Take the following requirement: "A user has made an API call. I want you to in parallel race two concurrent tasks: check if the data is in (1) cache and (2) database. Whichever returns fastest return to the user. Otherwise kill the oth

> Algebraic Effect is a variant/enhancement of dependency injection Every library so far that has implemented effects e.g. Cats, ZIO, Effects has done so to make concurrency easier and safer. Not for dependency injection.

But in the research languages listed they still are colouring function types. So it doesn't seem to matter whether it's a library or in the language. Either everything is an effect. Or you have to deal with two worlds of code: eff

I wouldn't worry. Even the simplest and most friendly effects library: https://effect.website Shows clearly why they will never be a mainstream concept. The value proposition is only there when you have more elaborate concu

But they also introduce their own color-like problems. For example with Scala we have ZIO which is an effect system where you wrap all your code in their type e.g. getName(): ZIO[String]. And it doesn't matter if getName returns immedi

No different to cheating off someone at school. You didn't learn anything. You didn't accomplish anything. And no one including you respects it.

a) There have been libraries supporting io_uring on the JVM for many years now. b) SycllaDB is not bleeding edge. It uses the relatively old now DPDK. c) There are countless reactive stream implementations e.g. https://vertx.io&#

But Dask is orders of magnitude slower to Spark. And you can still use Python data frameworks with Spark so not sure what you're getting.

What an idiotic and childish take. Yes using JSON to store your data will kill millions of people.

John Carmack: So I asked Ilya, their chief scientist, for a reading list. This is my path, my way of doing things: give me a stack of all the stuff I need to know to actually be relevant in this space. And he gave me a list of like 40 resea

Absolutely. a) One of the only languages you can write your entire app in Scala i.e. it supports compiling to Javascript, JVM and LLVM. b) It has the only formally proven type system of any language. c) It is the innovation language. Many o

So all of this is just meaningless anecdotes. Whereas the fact is that Datastax and MongoDB are highly successful companies indicating that in fact those databases are solving a real world problem.

Almost like there is room in the market for more than just SQL databases.

a) You can easily run Spark jobs on a single box. Just set executors = 1. b) The reason centralised clusters exist is because you can't have dozens/hundreds of data engineers/scientists all copying company data onto their lap

MongoDB is a $2b/year revenue company growing at 20% y/y. JSON stores are not going anywhere and it's an essential tool for dealing in data where you have no control over the schema or you want to do it in the application lay

Why you don't just quietly use SQL instead of condescending lecturing others about how compromised their tech choices are. NoSQL e.g. Cassandra, MongoDB and Microservices were invented to solve real-world problems which is why they are

a) Scala being a JVM language is one of the fastest around. Much faster than say Python. b) How large are the 1% of the feeds and the size of the total joined datasets. Because ultimately that is what you build platforms for. Not the simple
