nit: type actually originates from the Greek word τύπος https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/τύπος (Google definition‘s origin based on oxford dict also confirms that).

Long time Murakami fun here, have read all his books and recently re-read the Rat Trilogy (Wild Sing + Pinball, A Wild Sheep Chase, Dance Dance Dance). I agree that there is indeed repetitiveness in his most recent work but I still find a lot of his work insightful and somewhat relatable. One of the best imo ranking of his work can be found in [0].

100% this. It's not only about oneself. For young and healthy people, vaccination is primarily for helping and protecting others.

I second that statement. I know at least two people who failed their viva in the UK and ended up getting an MPhil instead of a PhD. In both cases the candidates were told by their advisor not to go with the defense but they decided to go for it anyway. I know several more that got “major corrections„ which meant a lot of extra work and another review six months later. edit: typo

Great write up! Reminded me of the "The boring technology behind a one-person Internet company" [0] and the HN discussion [1]. [0] https://www.listennotes.com/blog/the-boring-technology-behin... [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20985875

TIL, thanks!

100% this! The work life balance section in particular was an eye opener. I’m sure the Waze employees that were part of the acquisition have a _completely_ different perspective, and I bet they‘ve been much better off after the acquisition.

Excellent article, thank you! I really like the analysis and profiling part of the evaluation. I also have some experience in I/O performance in linux -- we measured 30GiB/s in a pcie Gen3 box (shameless plug[0]).

I have one question / comment: did you use multiple jobs for the BW (large IO) experiments? If yes, then did you set randrepeat to 0? I'm asking this because fio by default uses the same sequence of offsets for each job, in which case there might be data re-used across jobs. I had verified that with blktrace a few years back, but it might have changed recently.

Let’s take a moment and express solidarity towards the fellow engineers that are currently working like crazy under a lot of stress to fix this.

Funny how status.slack.com has reported Incidents and Outages for a while now, but still the "Uptime for the current quarter" is reported at 100% on the bottom right of the status table.

wow, this blowed up. GOOD

Reminded me of Doug Lea‘a classic reference on memory allocation http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/dl/html/malloc.html

Don’t you have to juxtapose that with the abo % in the population? According to Wikipedia(only showing +, avg, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_type_distribution_by_c...) that’s: O:38.67% A:27.42% B:22.02% AB:5.88%
