Can you say more on how you support fair queueing with partitioned queues? Very top of mind for me right now!

I'd be very curious to see you add the Optimized Reads instance types, e.g. r8gd or m8gd, to your benchmark. They add a local NVMe-based SSD block storage that serves as a cache in front of the network-based disks among other use cases

I highly recommend a visit. It’s only a beautiful ferry ride and nice walk along the waterfront away from San Francisco. A refreshingly retro and analog experience.

Thank you! We generally try to stay in line with the supported versions of the technologies we use: Postgres, NodeJS, Redis, etc. For Postgres in particular, part of the motivation for doing this upgrade when we did was (besides the very m

Agreed. I frequently go running by (all?) the filming locations they used. With the exception of the Hippie Hill location in GGP, I rarely, if ever, see homeless at any of the others. As an aside, a few weeks ago I ran by a film crew with a

Congrats, Frigade! I'm on the team at Vanta that is revamping our user onboarding flows and really wish y'all had launched a couple months ago! Building out the platform to support these experiences internally is no small feat and

Recent father of twins here. To reiterate points 3-5: if it is within your means, I cannot highly recommend a night doula/nanny enough. We have a night doula who comes five nights a week (work nights, Sunday - Thursday) for the first t

I love pairing bitters with my sodastream! A few of my favorite recipes are: 1) Grapefruit & Cherry, 2) Cardamom, and 3) Orange & Cranberry. Clearly it's all to taste, but a 3-4 dashes of each bitter is a good starting point fo

For what it's worth, the second paragraph (about refusing to tip for jobs they are capable of performing) in the comment you replied to is a direct quote of Dwight Schrute's character from the US version of the the TV show The Off

I was also very surprised by this. I'm having a hard time accepting that I'd have to manually concat my columns to create sort keys and keep track of the corresponding queries for them, e.g. "BEGINS WITH..."? Granted, I

Do you have any more information on this? They wanted 50% across the board or only from Moviepass patron concession purchases? I'm guessing it's the former, but if the latter, I'm curious how they identify such purchases.
