One approach that I like is to think about scaling in terms of epochs. Each epoch of your system should handle maybe 3 orders of magnitude (let's say users, epoch 1 is 1k - 100k, epoch 2 is 100k - 10m, etc — epoch 0 was your MVP/PoC)

When you implement each epoch, do a paper design for the next epoch, this helps you think about how you will get there, and can prevent you from writing yourself into a corner, without over indexing on scaling issues that you don't have yet
The 7 miles per dollar comes from the delta Amex marketing flyer sitting on my pile of mail, but I didn't look at the fine print, I got curious and looked into details : actually it's only 1 mile per dollar for usual purchases, you get one additional mile on "delta purchases", then you can get 5 extra more on money spent on flights itself. So yeah on average it's close to 1 mile per dollar, I can't edit the original post. So the math makes more sense with those numbers :)
When you have that sort of attitude about 2 of the most widely used languages/platforms in existence, I think it's more a reflection on you.

I just read what the comment said:

> Why isn't it more popular? Because it's written in FreePascal: a modern, object-oriented version of Pascal. A lot of readers will stop right here and never this give project another glance, the thought of using Pascal as simply too outdated or embarrassing.

Personally, I've never heard of the framework and FreePascal would definitely be a reason not to adopt it for me, as I'm not familiar with how to fix problems should they arise, while I would be able to troubleshoot an app written on Java or better yet NodeJS.
Except for every needle that will give you that is buried in a haystack of failed ventures and empty promises.

None of those problems sound like scaling issues.

> Most attempts at pointless pedantry are incorrect.

That wasn't an attempt at pedantry (ironically, it was actually abbreviated to avoid pointless pedantry; the original draft had "of conventional credit cards who have not paid on the account in advance of spending" after the "cardholders".)

> In this case, I have at least one credit card where I've put down a deposit of twice the spending limit of the card.

As a sibling comment and it's descendants point out, using such a secured card is still borrowing money in the same way that using an unsecured card is, and still subject to interest charges on the debt if not paid within a specified time just like unsecured cards. That you are putting up collateral to limit the banks default risk (and typically getting a better interest rate on any carried balance than anyone without excellent credit would get on an unsecured card because of that) doesn't alter that fact.

> At no time am I in debt to the bank, or borrowing money to them.

Yes you are; the bank just has possession of some of your property and a right to seize ownership of that property, as well as the possession it already holds, in the event of default on the debt. This is similar to what happens when you borrow money against property at a pawn shop.

Well, Friendster failed for exactly that reason. But, those were the early days.

p.s Completely agree with the article.
Fully agree on the office hours aspect of it, but not necessarily on the "you can't get your best work done by someone else's specification" aspect. Either I'm missing some point, or this sounds rather egocentric to me. What is "good work"? Beautiful code? Difficult code? Or is it code that is actually of utility? I'd argue the third. If your code isn't doing anyone else any good (and hopefully enough people to make it a viable business and thus "work". And if your code is supposed to help anyone else, you have to build it to someone else's specifications, implicitly or explicitly.

I agree with the general premise of avoiding premature optimizations, but designing systems that scale is important for several reasons:

- Startups grow exponentially, if you're playing catchup as you're growing you are focusing on keeping the lights on and hanging on for the ride. Important for a growing company to focus on vision.

- Software that scales in traffic is easier to scale in engineering effort. For example, harder for a 100 engineers to work on a single monolith vs 10 services.

- Service infrastructure cost is high on the list of cash burn. Scalable systems are efficient, allow startups to live longer.

- If the product you are selling directly correlates to computing power, important to make sure you are selling something that can be done profitably. For example, if you are selling video processing as a service, you absolutely need to validate that you can do this at scale in a profitable manner.

I also don't agree with the premise that speed of development and scalable systems are always in contention. After a certain point, scalable systems go hand and hand with your ability to execute quickly.

Still trying to apply manufacturing or construction work practices to IT in 2017.

The people of talent and intelligence, like poets and writers, work due to their own vision and inner values to make money as a by-product of their chosen occupation.

Coding factories would inevitable fail like any other kind of a manual labor sweatshops.

To make intelligent people do their best (intelligence implies that this is the only way they approach any task) is to motivate them for the cause. Any kind of naive manipulation, primitive deceptive practices and employee-morale bullshitting would surely fail with reasonable smart people.

There is an economic law - a forced labor is not productive and it produces a lowest quality crap the whole system could get away with. That's why communism failed.

I tried Modafinil and it just gave me a bad headache. I would be okay the first 4-5 hours, but by late afternoon, I would be edgy, anxious and fighting a searing headache.

Cayley's graph data layout is most similar to a Hexastore-style [1] triple store, though IIRC it doesn't do the full six-way index that the original Hexastore paper describes. The Redis page on secondary indexing [2] has a great quick intro to what this actually entails (search the page for Hexastore).

As you might guess from the Redis link, this style of graph lends itself well to KV stores, so the answer to your question #1 might be that it's a long-term decision, but the style of graph is really designed for a KV store anyway. But I haven't discussed this at all with the Cayley devs so I can't actually speak for them.

I'm using it with the BoltDB backend and have been pleased with the performance overall. I haven't looked at the backends for more complex databases like Postgres in detail, but it does appear that the backend interface has potential for predicate pushdown as well. The repository's graph directory [3] contains the various backends if you want to check it out. Overall it doesn't look very difficult to add another backend type, but I haven't tried it yet. Looking at the existing SQL backend, it appears to already support MySQL, PostgreSQL, and CockroachDB (but I've tried none of these with Cayley).

Yes! Follow your passion! Please! (I mean that with all my heart.) But...

You don't have to impose your will, for still to have an opinion about certain job choices. (And other life choices too.) "Acting" came up as an answer (above/below). As respectable a choice and a passion I find that to be, it feels to me that there's a lot of passionate "actors/actresses" that aren't making it the way they'd hoped, with all the social/mental and economic issues that come with it.

Everlaw | Software Engineer, DevOps/Site Reliability Engineer | Berkeley, CA |Full-time ONSITE | jobs.everlaw.com

We're a growing startup with a real business model, rapid growth, and venture funding from Andreessen Horowitz. We provide document analysis, review, and discovery tools to law firms who need to wade through millions of pages of evidence to find that one needle in the haystack (or sometimes the smoking gun!). You'll be developing core components of our litigation infrastructure, an online platform for lawyers to review, analyze, and collaborate on millions of documents.

Tackling litigation with technology is a surprisingly deep challenge, and it requires a lot of computer science, including machine learning, data visualization, search, distributed systems, databases, real-time collaboration, nifty user interfaces, and more.

We're looking for full-stack generalists. We value great CS fundamentals, native ability, and humility, over experience with any particular platform, technology, or specialization. If you happen to have a specialty, we'll put that to use -- but we won't restrict you to that area. We care a lot about finding the best engineers, writing correct software, using the right tools for the job, and avoiding dogma, and as a result we've been able to build quite a bit of sophisticated technology with a small, talented team. It's the kind of culture where you'll own serious features, write great code, learn a huge amount, and have a lot of fun.

We code primarily in Java and Python but dabble in several other languages.

Requirements
-Experience with a compiled language, such as C, C++, or Java
-Good knowledge of algorithms and fundamental computer science concepts
-A love of building systems
-An eye for aesthetics and user experience
-An eagerness to learn new technologies
-Authorization to work in the United States; please note that at this time, Everlaw is not sponsoring visas for any positions.

Benefits
-Competitive salary
-Substantial equity
-Retirement plan with company matching
-Health, dental, and vision insurance
-Maternity, paternity, and sick leave
-Fifteen paid vacation days, plus ten bankable federal holidays

From 6 hours distro specific bootstrapping to a 5 minutes generic flow? That's just extremely impressive.

Ask HN: First time in 4 years I lost interest working for startup. What do I do?
I have worked at the same startup for 4 years now. During a meeting last week I realized: I don't care about our product or it's mission anymore. I would rather be watching TV with my girlfriend or literally doing anything else.

I think I lost my faith. It's not burnout, I work 40hr weeks. But lately I just don't give a shit about bugs or features we're building.

What do I do? How do you deal with this?
Physical size, not population. Public transport only works well in small areas. The higher the population density the better it works.

There are a lot of people in the US who would not be willing to live in a place with a population density high enough to support public transport.
Friendster definitely failed because they couldn't pull off scale. I was CTO of the Tagged social network at the time and the issue loomed large during our 2005 fundraising. Investors had seen $50m go down the drain when Friendster got slow. Despite network effects, users moved over to products that were up and running (mostly MySpace but also hi5, etc.).

I seem to recall that the Friendster team had more than one aborted rewrite before they got it right, and by then it was too late. Scaling social networks required a different bag of tricks than was popular at the time (e.g., database replication was well accepted as a best practice, but sharding worked much better). Talented people could still get it wrong.

Still, social networking illustrates how failing to scale is rare, and should practically never be the concern early on. Almost every social network that gained traction struggled to scale at times, but the vast majority of them overcame their challenges.

We poured sweat and tears and many sleepless nights into scaling the Tagged back-end from 10 machines to over 1,000, over time serving hundreds of millions of users. It was a tremendous amount of work, much more than building the initial product, and I don't think there's much we could have done early on to make later scaling easier.

More on the story:

Agreed to a point, but there's also several hours a day of non-programming that just has to get done which never features in these SV conversations. Dealing with network guys to get the firewall exceptions you need, getting the DBA to actually do the indexes you asked for, endless ticket updates, meetings, more meetings, timesheets, checking the contractor's deliverables, production issues, interuptions etc. etc. Then add understaffing, UAC policies, sanfus and shifting requirements. So sure, 3 or 4 hours in the programming zone easily becomes a 55hr week.
I've been taking it on-and-off for about 2-3 years. My stack is basically just modafinil 200mg unless I'm going through one of my caffeine+L-theanine phases.

I've avoided tolerance by not continuously taking it - if I'm no longer noticing the effects as much, I come off for a while until I really need it again. That seems to have stopped me from building up a lasting tolerance.

Due to the combination of these two factors, I bet this was written by a native English speaker who thinks he/she knows the mistakes a Russian would make.

Or it is Russian and they intentionally formulated this as cartoonesque Russian, so that everyone says "this can't possibly be Russian, it's someone who tries to put the blame on Russia".

The problem is that if this comes from a government power, it is likely that they have the resources to use some professional translators and/or linguists to make it look whatever they want it to look like.

Anything here that is not backed by other data is just pure speculation.
Amerikanski also means American language, but I think it would be a little stretch for Amerikanskis to mean people who speak american english.

Implausible, I guess. It feels more like somebody faking a russian person writing in english for obfuscation rather than deception purposes.
If you tie it to an exit, you're setting up for tension. "If we exit, you'll get one hundredth (or even far less!) of the payout that I will, but my payout may be immediate while you're transferred to the acquiring company. Still, I need you to work as hard as I do."

So everyone can do this ? What is your average expenses per month, you know, basic stuff. Apartment (rent/mortgage), transport, non-restaurant food, etc.

And how does that compare to average income around you ?

This is the argument everyone in SF makes. "Just move into the city. Use an (electrical) bike. Yes there's the homeless but you learn to steer around them quickly". And then you look at the rent, and the average income. Needless to say, this is not a reasonable suggestion.
I'd say take a break from work, go travel somewhere with your gf, come back and see how you feel.

If you still feel the same, then stop working at a startup and work at some established company.

Good luck!

Java interview study notes
It's a good things to overestimate in a Big Corp, because the managers always penny pinch and will put the blame on you if things go to shit.

If you're a startup, go the other way.
I found your suggestion valuable.
Except compilers are also big MLOC+ projects with their own bugs, and every compiler bug is a potential source of memory errors.

Plus (at least in Rust) in order to ever do anything useful, you have to use unsafe anyway, usually in the most complex bits of code that have the most potential for subtle memory errors. Personally that's the biggest problem I have with it: it seems like it helps avoid issues a lot, but only in the easy cases where I'm very confident I can avoid them anyway. In the really tricky subtle cases (or even fairly basic things like cyclic data structures, which are not niche) the compiler throws up its hands. Those, honestly, are the cases where I want compiler help.

That's not to say I don't think it's useful. In fact, making all the easy cases trivial does mean you can focus your effort, analysis, thought, design, whiteboard space, etc. on the trickier cases. But it's not anywhere near as useful as it is sometimes claimed to be.
I know what each card you mentioned is except the gas one. Which card gives you 5% on gas?

Also, with the Fidelity card you can, if you choose, open up a cash management account (totally free) and get that 2% in cash without any restrictions at all.
This sounds awful. Work to live, don't live to work, etc.
That would work, but perform like caro. There are a large number of effects that need shared memory tricks to work efficiently in X. So, any "modern" desktop is going to be iffy running that way.

I think you'll find there are plenty of conversations here where "scale" is used in reference to stuff like the business models of "gig economy" apps, or at what point your startup has enough scale to need an HR department, and so on and so forth.
As someone who has been hit by every single one of these bugs[1][2][3] but somehow didn't get the VS Code problem I'm not at all convinced that is somehow inherent in using Electron.

I don't think I ever had a "IDE causing high CPU load in" problem in Delphi 2, 3, or 5. I did in Delphi 4, and I have in PowerBuilder, Sybase PowerJ (although there were much worse problems with that!), VB6, Eclipse 2, and I'm sure there are some I've missed.

Bugs suck, but they happen.

> Even with CBR, the exact length of the video might give away the contents too.

To avoid that issue you just artificially make multiple movies have the same length, meaning do some padding to round up to the next e.g. 10 minutes (so if the movie is 1:48:23 it becomes 1:50:00), to do so the movie keeps buffering in the background (some random audiovisual noise).

Maybe netflix should have a "Fully safe" mode where it uses CBR instead of VBR so the user knows the trade off (slower/heavier buffering)
