I've also seen them be he source of some awful n+1 bugs where network boundaries were being crossed thousands of times to fetch some relatively simple data. The wall time might be tiny on it's own but it can add up.

I've also worked on an app where we removed/combined the api layer into the main web process for an instant 30% performance boost. Crossing the network boundary, serializing, etc was taking up a full third of the wall time that included server side html rendering and database access.

The only thing I stay apart from, is the implicit approach of ES6.

IMHO, explicit is better than implicit. Therefore:

return (<div>...</div>)

Is better than

{
<div>...</div>
}

and

this.state = { list: list };

Is better than

this.state = { list};

Everyone these days seems to take the implicit ES6 way though.

Context definitely matters - thanks for the background info. I understood what you're trying to do, incidentally I did the same (all these details sound familiar to me). At the time, Storm helped me batch, break batches and validate discrete units, re-batch, aggregate, repeat that process how many times I wanted, and finally, batch the stream with a strategy I wanted (number of users, messages, or balance number of connections) and deliver to Google.

Then I would just say, XMPP is new and fancy, but consider the old fashioned stateless HTTP interface. When I was implementing my own service, I was worried Google is not going to handle the load. Since we were partners with Google for a good while I was able to climb the ladder of people to get an answer, and plow through their closed-door policy for questions such as "Will you guys handle this load? (5M msg/min)". I wrote a huge email explaining every edge case and what I'm doing. The answer was "We will handle it.". No detail, no context, no buts. I wasn't confident at all. But in the end, they did handle it :)

Hmm.. may depend upon the granularity that you need I guess. As far as I recall, databases do implement access control at table level, but often you need better control than that.

In the system that I most recently worked on we had to implement our own access control logic as table level was too coarse. It was a datacenter management system which supported multiple users, each with a set of roles, and each user belonging to several companies. The data center inventory that would be returned by queries depended both upon your role (sysadm vs customer admin vs regular Joe) and upon your company affiliation. I guess I'm mostly writing this to illustrate how quickly this kind of thing becomes closely intertangled with the domain and with your business logic.

Will try to answer your questions to the best of my ability:

1) The amount of users is not a scalability issue but the number of requests may be, of course. I'll assume that's what you mean. My best advice would be to profile your system to see how it behaves at great load. If access control turns out to be a problem, maybe you are doing too complex joins. One path forward may be to "denormalize" your database scheme, i.e. accept that the same information is stored in several places for the sake of efficiency. Another idea is to spin up an Elastic Search box to help with the query that is your #1 bottleneck.

2) As for the question about individual database connections, well, I think I'd pool them or I would build upon some framework or app server which pools them. It's an easy win with standardized solutions.

Caveat: Bear in mind that although I seem to be posing as some kind of expert right now, I'm really not. I'm more of an all-round full stack kind of guy. So seek advice from multiple sources :)

> it is worth noting that many people believe HRC has similar tendencies

I disagree. Trump is the President-elect; she has no position in government. Also, depending on the definition of "many", I don't think it was true that 'many' thought that way. People widely called her corrupt and other things, but generally she didn't propose fascist policies, I don't recall seeing her called fascist, and I followed the election closely. If 'many' = 'some', we can find 'many people' who think anything.

I guess I just dislike relativistic statements, painting all sides as equal.
An all encompassing answer would be - the abstractions. Why would you use an operating system if really you have your CPU documented and know all of the instruction sets?
I don't think it's trivial to find similar password for multiple reasons.

Comparing old passwords without plaintext is really hard and at best inexact.

Storing them plaintext (or even reversibly encrypted) is completely stupid, of course.

Even if these technical problems could be solved, sequences like: November6, December7, January8 are not "similar" but easily predictable.

Even this sequence is probably not hard to figure out if you look at a keyboard:
Secret1
Drvtry2
Ftbytu3

Deeper though, what security threat is this actually mitigating? Bad passwords caused by rotation requirements that are needed because of bad company policies, training and practices? Is there a security equivalent of "yak shaving"?

I almost wrote a zip parser. After studying the format a bit, I gave up that idea.

- A valid zip does not begin with, as you would normally expect, a magic number.

- A valid zip can contain arbitrary prepended data.

- A valid zip can contain sections with no identifier value.

- A valid zip can contain arbitrary data between sections.

- A valid zip is validated starting with a tail section located at the end.

- A valid zip can have a valid tail section that contains a valid tail section.

- A valid zip can contain arbitrary appended data.

I don't get it: Why design a format that's so hard to parse? Implementing a single-pass streaming parser is impossible. It should be a basic requirement for most file formats. /usr/bin/unzip cannot even extract from standard input. I'm sure the implementer didn't feel like receiving user complaints about exhausted memory.

This is going to be domain-dependent. The lower in the stack you go, the slower things move and the less likely it is you're going through wholly unfamiliar territory. Top-of-stack, user-facing code(of which web browser stuff is the poster child) churns endlessly; UI code you write today is likely to have a lifespan of a few years at best, if the system continues adding features and staying up to date with new platforms.

This is true, at least, until you hit code that touches hardware directly, and then you still get to encounter lots of new problems because the hardware is doing things that break your code.
Aside from SimpleDB which was replaced by DynamoDB and Elasticache I'm not aware of any withdrawn services in AWS' history

Maybe not Silicon-Valley-type innovation, but there have been plenty of innovations out of China's very long history.

I'm less specifically familiar with SarbOx details than HIPAA, but I suspect the former, like the latter, requires sexurity processes that address particular issues and your institution has adopted procedures (possibly from a third-party canned set) to satisfy those that require rotation. A lot of "required by HIPAA" mythology has this origin, and what I understand of SarbOx is that it's generally similar in this regard.

As an American-born Chinese, the main reason my wife and I chose to move to China and raise our kids there is to ensure their self-esteem.

Perhaps it's different for West Coast Asians, but when I grew up in in the States, I went through a period of self-loathing due to my race. With no AA role models, it took a really long time for me to come to terms with who I am.

Add to that the constantly accepted jokes about Asians, and it really caused an inferiority complex growing up. Something that I don't see in native Asians/Chinese.

So when a Chinese company started to recruit me, I jumped at the chance.

Perhaps because I'm Chinese, already married, and I speak Mandarin, the only issue for me in that list is the pollution factor. Everything else isn't that big of a deal.

I also disagree with the Chinese tech industry is any more relation-oriented than the US tech industry. Just like how Asians can beat the "bamboo ceiling" by using soft skills and mingling with the executives, foreigners can as well in China.

I would also add that for hardware tech talent, there really is no better place than China. People lament the IP issue, but for a hardware startup, this openness is a blessing.

But the fleet is heavily overprovisioned now. We're just used to absorbing the costs of the overprovisioning. But the vast majority of Uber rides (or of passenger vehicle travel generally, really) don't require five seats, don't require trunk space, etc. We just equip cars standard with these configurations for the small fraction of trips that actually require them. In some sense self-driving cars should actually reduce overprovisioning by letting single-occupant trips use smaller vehicles (and hey, in a pinch, cars with bike racks on them work just as well carrying people without bikes, just like five-person cars can carry a single person alright).

Will you comment on why? Surely, if the database-as-a-REST-service model of DynamoDB is considered appropriate, Google Cloud Datastore will work too?

Or is it precisely that which you've changed your minds about? The managed-REST-DB approach?

Except that they are not really cheap, safe, or convenient. They are not door to door. Public bus/trains run at their own scheduled time, not at my desired time. Even services like Uber involve humans who are more concerned about their profit than my schedule or preferences, so they cancel rides when I need them the most because some other ride is more profitable for them. Moreover in countries like India where road accidents are the highest in the world, rash and unsafe driving is a big problem (government run bus, car drivers or private ones). This can just wipe that out! So personally, I'm super excited about this future.
