JSON over network was a mistake. We should’ve stuck to binary encoding and just improve the tooling to view binary data in a human-readable format.

Most vulnerabilities and outages are born from new features. Everyone is racing to build more, break more. Maybe we should stop pushing. Appreciate the internet as it is… before we ruin that too.

I don't mind the placebo effect if it's in my favor 😀

Distributed systems… man, that’s just people trying to deny loneliness. Servers talking to each other so no one has to be the single point of failure.

We solved it by: 1. Caching the endpoint behind a @Cloudflare Smart Tiered CDN. 2. Using pm2 to cluster Node.js processes to utilize all CPU cores in serving requests. 3. Increased app instances. OpenTelemetry helped us identify the issue. https://t.co/06xFTrd1Of

We had a similar problem at Activepieces. Self-hosting users sync pieces (app integrations) from our cloud every hour which led to some of our servers going down. Unlike web, we couldn't fix it by just releasing a new version because we can't force them to update. (1/3)
Cloudflare ended up DDoSing itself due to React's useEffect hook 🫠

It's worth mentioning that Go doesn't support such optimizations for valid reasons: - Faster compile times. - Smaller binary size.

Just read this awesome post. Made me wonder if this uses SIMD, but then found out that the Go compiler doesn't generate SIMD instructions or do optimizations like loop unrolling. Wondering if it's worth it for @PingCAP to manually utilize these techniques for more performance.
My optimizer/execution etc. knowledge is sub par. I’ve decided to do something about it. https://t.co/BPUms4CCxf Seems like people don’t know much about TiDB’s implementation, it’s a very sophisticated parallel implementation that is not only parallel by design but also

مستوي الخريجين ومسؤولية الشركات https://t.co/mKKG928I6a اعتقد مش بس الexecutives هم اللي يقدروا يفتحوا intern position؛ يعني ممكن تكون مهندس عادي وتقترح الموضوع علي مديرينك وتقنهعم وتفهمهم ازاي ده ممكن يفيد الشركة بشكل مباشر كمان.

هالو فيديو جديد بيوضح مشروع تعليمي بيساعد ازاي تتعلم نظم موزعة وتربطهم ببعض 🚀 دا مش Tutorial، لكن هقولك إزاي تبدأ بنفسك وتجمع الحاجات دي في شكل حاجه e2e بطريقه عملية. السيستم دا كبير ولو عرفت تبنيه هيبقى دفعة كبيرة ليك فى المعرفة والنقاش فى الانترفيوهات https://t.co/t6N9V9EL39
