Thanks for that, I’ll definitely check out the paper! I don’t know much about the JVM, or GCs, but it’s always interesting to learn.

Has anyone experienced a significant performance improvement just by switching GCs? We have an Elasticsearch cluster with G1GC and I’ve been wondering if it’s worth the time to replace a small number of nodes with different GCs. We could sw

Sure, but if you have relational data you probably don't want to be giving up your RDBMS for Dynamo. Pain (and inconsistent and hard-to-reason-about data) lies in that direction.

You may be correct, though you have a lot fewer internet points than the person who was talking about downvoting ;) Also, I was referring to a super upvote, not a downvote, sorry if this was unclear. I’m pretty sure this is a thing, I have

When your internet points on HN exceed some threshold you may be able to downvote. I’ve heard there’s also a thing called a supervote. (I have neither of these privileges)

Thanks for the response. I do appreciate the efforts of the team, and am planning to continue learning TypeScript :) Maybe this exists, but one thing that would be super helpful is a document that explains any places where there's a &q

Javascript doesn't change at anything like the pace that TypeScript does, so it hasn't been much of a hassle. But even so we (like many teams with large codebases, I suspect) have callbacks, promises, and async/await all mixe
