nope!

Memory is maybe 50% full. We are totally over provisioned. We actually just downsized and it didn’t impact anything.

We do expire but we don’t think we have a thundering herd problem with them all happening at the same time.

Running from the client side says that the config command doesn’t exist. Not sure how to run from the server side on elasticache.

We also pool our clients heavily. Maybe we could reduce the new connections to zero to test.

Hmm. We have super low CPU utilization- something like 9%. This is also across 10+ different clusters.

My understanding is elasticache does not let you turn them off.

Has anyone seen max (p100) client latencies of 300 to 400ms but totally normal p99? We see this across almost all our redis clusters on elasticache and have no idea why. CPU usage is tiny. Slowlog shows nothing.

I will shamelessly plug my personal contribution to outlandish toilet-related HCI papers!

this is a huge issue for us and I'm extremely unhappy this was not clear in the docs

Oh wow that's awesome. Thanks! Will send an email.

Will you read over my application? Would love feedback!

Can anyone answer why they use both Spark and Hadoop (and storm)?

I'd love to ask you a couple questions about what you're looking to block. Would you jump on a quick call?

Skilledup Academy (New York)- Senior Ruby Developer

TL;DR:

We’re looking for a Senior Ruby Developer to help us build a mentored online education platform to get people their first job in a new career. You are a coder, a system designer, and a mentor. More than that, the Senior Ruby Developer is a crucial, respected contributor to a startup team that is playing to win. Our code is pristine. We are nice.

We are looking for 2+ years of professional rails experience. Our website is at academy.skilledup.com.

Our Beliefs:

§ Education changes the world: We're an education company at heart. We care about the growth of our learners and our employees. We have investment days on Fridays to research the competition, learn new skills, and do things that get us closer to our vision.

§ Sustainable Code: We practice BDD. Our code is pristine and we're proud of the work we produce. We have over 95% test coverage, but we focus on writing the right kinds of tests.

§ Lean: We don't build things we don't need. We iterate quickly on what we learn.

§ Cross-Functional Teams: Our team is composed of generalists. There is no "wall" to throw things over. We aren’t fans of the "assembly line" model of development.

§ Flat Organization: We believe good ideas come from anyone in the crowd. In that sense, we are a flat organization.

§ Design First: We really care about UX and design, and bring 3 to 5 users in every week for user testing so that we stay close to our users. We first design wide, then design deep.

Tools include: Ruby on Rails, Postgres, Heroku, RSpec, Factory Girl, CoffeeScript, Konacha & Mocha, Trello, GitHub, git rebase -i, CodeClimate, Gemnasium, and CircleCI.

Have you considered that customizing Twitter Bootstrap without rewriting the entire framework is a skill?

It might be interesting to expose the algorithm more (not saying the entire thing, but if auto penalties are applied which ones).

I run ProjectXpresso. Thanks for the recommendation! We're throwing another event on Feb 1st and have official partners from EA games, Monetate, and MongoDB (some others are in the works) helping students learn about what its like to work there.
