> What if you went to your manager, or whoever you feel is the right person, asked if you could speak one on one, and said... "I really love working at this company. The work is interesting, I love the people, the culture, <one more legitimate pro goes here>. But I also know I could be making X if I went elsewhere. I love the work I'm doing, and I want to keep doing it here, but I also don't want to be leaving money on the table. What can we do?"
This phrasing, pretty much verbatim, has worked really well for me in the past.
On multithreading in Redis [1]:
> The problem with clustering still becomes lower queries per GB as instances can’t share data. Redis itself runs in RAM so storage is at a premium. One of my main reasons for doing multithreading, and FLASH in the first place was to make Redis work well for much larger value sizes.
I really think we have different use cases in mind.
A book recommendation [2]:
> "Basic Economics" by Thomas Sowell. Not an easy read, but it deeply changed the way I think about incentive structures and the law of unintended consequences. It's a tough pill to swallow for people (like myself) who cling to utopian ideas, but the older I get the more I realize we must live in the world as it exists, with human nature as it really is. Dreaming of a better world is counter-productive if one does not engage with reality. We can build a better world, but only by being honest about the current state of things.

And now I see this, and I'm already having second thoughts. Prima facie, what I like about DSLabs is it's not so steep learning curve as it's written in a mainstream OOP language. Can anyone who has worked on both TLA+ and DSLabs share thoughts?
It's not. Paying to get in like this is depriving not only OP but more importantly, the intended beneficiaries of such schemes.
As the article points out, the total number of visas "may have easily claimed an entire year’s worth of visas issued under EB-5". Which leads to:
"The cap on visas also serves as a cap on available financing. If a project like Hudson Yards accounts for a whole year’s worth of EB-5 visas, it also consumes a year’s worth of financing meant for projects in low-opportunity places."
What about the 'payment' that generations of residents of Harlem made? If this was done fairly, neither the residents of low-opportunity places nor OP would feel slapped.
"A key difference I observed was that if a Kafka consumer crashes, a rebalance is triggered by Kafka after which the remaining consumers seamlessly start consuming the messages from the last committed offset of the failed consumer.
Whereas with Redis streams I had to write code in my application to periodically poll and claim unacked messages pending for more than some threshold time."
and how is that going for the big players since the treaty was singed ?

How is this a logical step in the context of micro services ? I feel there is a trade off. If I have to scale a service to N instances where each of them cache the same type of data. Potentially, I'm duplicating that data N times. Which means I need to reserve that much additional RAM per instance. I can avoid this by storing the data centrally in a very fast cache aka Redis. On the other hand even the fastest standalone cache will be much slower then accessing data in process memory.
This talk has many facts not even commonly known to Indians.
Could you elaborate on this, why not ?

I find this very weird. Did anyone here faced the same issue ?

How much was it before Globalization ?
"Infosys, TCS accounted for only 8.8% of total H1B visas"
"All Indian IT companies cumulatively account for less than 20% of the total approved H1B visas although Indian nationals get about 71% of the H1B visas,” Nasscom said. It added that this is a testimony to the high skill levels of India-origin professionals. The annual number of Indian IT specialists working on temporary visas for Indian IT service companies is about 0.009% of the 158-million-member US workforce, it said."
I wonder since this data is public, how come different stats are concluded ?
Funny you mentioned this as Amazon is no different. In US Amazon do not give sick days unless required by state law. Say you get an offer from Amazon NY, where employer isn't required to provided paid sick days, you'll get zero sick days.
