I think it's even more amazing that Apple can get away with charging $1,300 in 2021 for a desktop with only 8GB RAM. The desktop I built in 2013 had 32GB RAM and that entire thing cost me $500 or $600.

Then why is it that IO-heavy benchmarks such as the Techempower web benchmark are dominated by async frameworks? The fastest results there are all from async frameworks [1]. And among Rust frameworks the same pattern holds. The fastest Rust

> A context switch takes around 0.2µs between async tasks, versus 1.7µs between kernel threads. But this advantage goes away if the context switch is due to I/O readiness: both converge to 1.7µs. This is a big surprise. If you look

How does Rust async compare to Goroutine, Erlang threads, Javascript async, Java async in performance and memory usage? Is there any benchmarks for that?

I remember reading about this a few years ago here. If I remember correctly back then the main selling point was that it used succinct data structure and it was only the compression algo that was not open source - everything else was. But n

How big is your largest customer though? You can easily buy a machine with several TB of RAM, several hundreds of TB of SSDs in RAID giving you millions of IOPS, quad-socket 256 cores. How likely is it that a single machine cannot handle a

I read that Quibi does not own its content. The content creators do. I don't understand. How could Quibi possibly spend $2B in 6 months when it doesn't even own its content. What exactly did it spend those $2B on?

Is Fractal Tree Index what is used in TokuDB? While it sounds nice in theory, in practice it was very slow. The only thing TokuDB good at was bulk inserts. Other than that both writes and reads were slower than B+ tree. I think eventually T
