Our experience is the opposite, we have a pretty large flow typed code base, and can do a full check in <100ms. When we converted to TS (decided not to merged) we saw typescript was in the multiple minute mark. It’s worth checking out LT

We've talked to twitch on and off over the years, but nothing specific to this. Music licensing data pipelines are a massively complex topic and very hard to get right. Its one of those areas you can only appreciate having done it. It

100% its way less than 1% of their streams, the CEO said as much recently. However that doesn't mean that the music labels are ok with copyright infringement being on the platform. I guess this is the real question, they clearly had to

It'll depend a lot on the deals being struck, I can only speculate on the structure. The weird rules stem from the US copyright laws, and are therefore are impossible for a company like ours to get changed. We benefit from lower rates

Depends on if you are on free or Pro account as the uploader, if you are on Pro we up the bitrate substantially. Beyond this, it also depends on the device the user is listening on, we'll switch over to Opus when possible, which makes

Have you got a reference for how they are tackling publishing rights? I've been looking for it and only found references to labels so far.

Co-founder of Mixcloud here. We've been doing live streaming and licensed for years at this point ( https://www.mixcloud.com/pro/live ) Surprised it took twitch so long to make these deals happen, but it shows how c

That serial number sends shivers down my spine. I also used to work on this system, and still do! At one point seagate admitted that the firmware was faulty. It would periodically stop responding under load, and cause the raid controller to

What’s frustrating about this change is that Apple keeps changing the terms on it. Until last week the T&C’s included the phrase “exclusively”. This allowed you to provide the user with your own sign in system and avoid forcing the goo

Mixcloud founder here, thanks its appreciated. Theres one big different on engagement, we tend to see lower play counts, but higher number of minutes listened per play. You'll start to see us surfacing this data more in the upcoming mo

That's fair and we're highly focussed on improving that this year. The groundwork is now laid, time to crunch out the features :)

Mixcloud Founder here, thanks for the support and if you ever have issues reach out. We're working hard on the app, but we're a super small team, so bear with us!

Mixcloud founder here, thanks for the vote of confidence. One key difference is we internally measure success or engagement in terms of minutes listened not play counts, and actively optimise for this. So often the visible play metrics don&

I had the exact opposite experience, I went in to a store with a MacBook Pro (2013) which had morphed by a good 1-2cm's due to the battery expanding over the course of the previous hour. They refused to take it and insisted I book a ge

We're a django shop, and pt-online-schema-change is an amazing tool. We're run it on tables with 10-50M rows in production with minimal downtime, <1 Second. I can't speak highly enough of it if you are a MySQL shop.

Awesome idea, I've wanted something like this for iOS/Android for a long time. It would be nice to have a self hosted version, with a one off fee.

Isn't this a Google version of Hive, which was open sourced by Facebook and provides an SQL style syntax to Hadoop. Queries aren't quick, it just allows offline data crunching to be coded quickly with out users having to code lots of map re

The issue, particularly with innodb on MySQL is that the row data is stored with the primary key. By using GUID's and not sequential ids, you end up having to rearrange the entire dataset to insert the row data at the appropiate place, to k

Its certainly possible, the problem is those people don't care about press or PR so they are very rarely heard about until after the event. Look in the various universities across the world and their spin outs and you will find some incredi
