yla92··on An update on recent service disruptions
> Unfortunately, this caused a new load pattern that introduced connectivity issues on the new failed-over primary, and applications were once again unable to connect to mysql1 while we worked to reset these connections.

> We were able to identify the load pattern during this incident and subsequently implemented an index to fix the main performance problem.

What actually is "load pattern" in these cases?

Hi
yla92··on On Leaving Facebook
This is how I see it. It could also be more towards "financial freedom" instead of "early retirement". Financial freedom in a sense that you don't have to work for money anymore and can live on your investment/saving with some fix withdrawal every year. That also means that you can choose to work at the places of your interest but don't pay much and you will still be okay!
yla92··on Ask HN: Good open source alternatives to Google Analytics?
+1 for Umami. Easy to setup and lightweight UI. With the provided Docker Compose, it's up and running in less than 5 min.
yla92··on Ask HN: What book should I buy for my 18th birthday?
I have a list books on my mind but if I have to choose one, I would say "The Art of Doing Science and Engineering: Learning to Learn" by Richard Hamming. https://www.amazon.com/Art-Doing-Science-Engineering-Learnin...
yla92··on Best Pens for 2022: Gel, Ballpoint, Rollerball, and Fountain Pens
I don't write a lot with pen these days but when I do, I always reach out to Pilot Juice up 04 [0]. It's incredibly smooth at 0.4mm. Can't recommend it enough for daily writing.

yla92··on Ask HN: Good Python projects to read for modern Python?
I think Bottle.py is quite interesting. It is a single file library (around 4k line) and has no dependencies other than the Python Standard Library. https://github.com/bottlepy/bottle/blob/master/bottle.py

The other is Tornado. https://github.com/tornadoweb/tornado

yla92··on Ask HN: What's the best book you read in 2021?
I only read two books this year but they were amazing!

The first one is Dune : https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/44767458-dune. It needs no introduction to HN, I think. Best Sci-fi book I have read so far.

The second one is American Kingpin : https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/31920777-american-kingpi... . It is about Silk Road (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silk_Road_(marketplace)), the online darkweb market place. It's very well written.

yla92··on Ask HN: Best alternatives to Google Analytics in 2021?
+1 for Umami. Pretty straightforward to setup and run.
yla92··on Kinesis Advantage 360
Took me some time to get used to it. And I also had to do lots of layout customization as well.
yla92··on Java Virtual Threads Preview
I wonder how this gonna compare with Kotlin Coroutines[0]

yla92··on How we built a serverless SQL database
> Each node runs in its own K8s pod, which is not much more than a Docker container with a virtualized network and a bounded CPU and memory capacity. Dig down deeper, and you’ll discover a Linux cgroup that can reliably limit the CPU and memory consumption for the processes. This allows us to easily meter and limit SQL resource consumption on a per-tenant basis.

Nice use of K8s here and overall a great post! This is not related to CockroachDB but related to kube and cgroup. I am wondering if you guys have faced this infamous CPU throttling issue[0] when you guys were doing the metering and limiting.

Is is not possible for you to transfer to another team/org internally?
yla92··on The SEC has told us it wants to sue us over Lend. We don’t know why
Weird. I see the post in the link above as well but when I click the link, it got redirected to medium.com

Edit: if i click "Read more" at the end of the article, I am able to see the whole post.

> His and his team's approach and writings influenced at a lot of my thinking about core development, and I'll always be grateful for having had the opportunity to learn from them by osmosis.

Would you like to share with the rest of us a few wisdom here?

yla92··on Advanced Compilers: Self-Guided Online Course
On the related note, what would you guys recommend as an introduction to compilers, say for beginners?
yla92··on We deleted the production database by accident
I am sorry this happens.

> local_db = PostgresqlDatabase(database=database, user=user, password=password, host='localhost', port=port)

I am guessing this part. Even though the host is hardcoded as "localhost" , when you do a ssh port-forwarding, the localhost might actually be the real production. e.g sudo ssh user@myserverip -L 3333:localhost:3306

yla92··on Reddit's Stock Threads Become a Must-Read on Wall Street
I would be interested to know which are the subreddits for actual investing.
yla92··on 1:60 scale Boeing 777 made from manila folders
What a great story. I was wondering if a story about this guy have been posted before and indeed, it was.

A Kid Spent 9 Years Building a Detailed Paper Model of a Boeing Jet (2017)

- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19448365

The great takeaway for me from the story is his quote related to how he did all these things.

"I was not born with these skills, I developed them over time. And the original model was actually pretty crude. And I've really learned a lot over the past number of years, and that's how I've gotten to where I am at now."

yla92··on Async Python is not faster
Yeah. I was expecting to see Tornado among the async web frameworks as well. We use it at work for almost all the backend related work and are happy with it.
yla92··on A humble guide to database schema design
A Burmese here and thanks for pointing out! I have to explain to other people that we don't follow the father's name most of the time. Some names the father's name at the end. e.g if my father name is Myint Swe, my name could be Ko Ko Myint Swe.
yla92··on My Year in Review: 2019
There was a blog post by her that I happen to read, called "Life Without a Destiny"

https://www.susanjfowler.com/blog/2017/5/21/life-without-a-d...

What she wrote there totally resonated with me and stayed with me from the day that I read. It was as if she managed to put what I have been wondering into words.

yla92··on Office noise bothers some people more than others
I am curious about this. Do people who work in the open plan office, feel bothered by clicky mechanical keyboard sounds (cherry mx blue, greeen etc)?
yla92··on Ask HN: PostgreSQL or MySQL?
Do you know if it is still happening in the newer versions (v3.6+)? If so, could you point to the references? I would love to learn more about the data loss issue.
yla92··on Myanmar Prepares to Migrate from Zawgyi to Unicode
As a developer who've dealt with those issues briefly in the past, hopefully, this really kicks off this time!
yla92··on A Beginner’s Introduction to Python Web Frameworks (2018)
Yeah. It's odd. We use Tornado for all our API/microservices at work and it's been a pleasure. More and more libraries are getting asyncio support as well and they integrate well with Tornado.

Do you know if it is coming to the community edition or is it only for Atlas?
yla92··on I.M. Pei has died
RIP legend. You literally put your mark on this world! One of the building he designed in Singapore is "The Gateway"[0]. Every time I am around the area, I can't help but be in awe.

yla92··on Apple finally announces an overhauled Mac mini
I feel like $800 for an i3/8gb machine is on the expensive side. Given that it is probably the best option to run OSX smoothly, maybe, it's worth it.
