We also have RAM.

Edit: but we can't GC it fast enough. On a day like today I wonder if always going to disk mightn't be better.

Hi dang, thank you for what you do.

Do you (or anyone else) have an article on HN's infrastructure? Would like to read more about this.

Tried to Google it but was filled with links to other people's infra on HN.

The original comment in the thread has that information, and it's nothing to write home about. Maybe it has improved since, but it's not like they're running a network of supercomputers.
