If they received $36 MM in a fundraise 3 years ago, you better believe that those investors put pressure on the business to grow fast or die trying. Those investors are not looking for a somewhat risky medium % return, they're looking for each company to have a small % chance of being a unicorn.
based on what math? I can see how there can potentially be differentiators here and there to raise value, but I can't see how this statement can be taken prima facie
I don't understand this comment. Bigtable requires that each tablet is only assigned to one tablet server at a time, enforced in Chubby. There's no risk of inconsistent reads. Of course this means that there can be downtime when a tablet server goes down, until a replacement tablet server is ready to serve requests.
I'm not a frontend engineer so I might be misunderstanding, but I thought react was creating representations of dom elements in the render function so that it only needs to apply diffs to the actual dom to keep the browser from eating cpu
I agree with the sentiment but just wanted to note that this is a legislative bill. often the courts strike down executive action saying that they should get help from Congress, which they're doing here
Arm has a much looser memory model than x86 [1 for a comparison]. It's possible that the random hangs are due to a race condition in PG that doesn't show up in x86 because memory visibility doesn't require as much synchronization.
Yeah I remember having a long conversation with their support for the alternative solution to this report and they just told me to pound sand. It's crazy to me that it returned without any fanfare.
The actual amount of gallons of gas burned in planes using AVGas is extremely small compared to the gallons of gas burned by cars or by planes using jet fuel. Unless you were on the tarmac with prop planes running, I doubt you'd smell the lead.
i think the key difference is the incidence rate. if long term symptoms occur in less than one percent of cases, that's still enough for doctors to see and treat without surprise. this article says the incident rate for covid-19 is 25%, which is shockingly high.
I think the pure tech plays in 2019 are doing just fine. Zoom, Cloudflare, and Datadog all look like good companies. They're just not over-hyped and overinflated.
Even if the system isn't calendar aware, if all of a sudden you have negative timestamps you can have strange boundary conditions where loops might run forever, hanging the system.
That amendment really screwed democracy in the US. Not only does it remove room for debate, but it has IMHO been a major factoring in lessoning voter interest in the state legislature. This has far reaching consequences, such as making it harder to make new amendments and checks against gerrymandering.
That's extremely reasonable for a savings account. The fed rate at the time was around 5% [1]. Today's is much lower which raises questions about where this rate is coming from.
Those uses of AtomicFoo classes could probably be updated to use AtomicFooUpdater fields (e.g. AtomicIntegerFieldUpdater). VarHandle is like AtomicFieldUpdater but with all of the concurrency semantics that were accessible only via Unsafe access.
More likely than not, these drones are for the rural last mile problem, where drivers aren't worth the cost. In that case tunnels wouldn't be worth the cost.
I can't find the presentation anywhere, but at HBaseCon 2014 one of the lead developers of Bigtable stated that they went to RS. Even for their older databases.
