While I get that SO can be monstrously unhelpful, database optimization is a whole profession so I think we need a bit more to help

A few directions we could go here: Post your SQL query. This could be a structure or query issue. Best case, we could do some query optimization. Also, have you looked into indexing?

Where are your bottlenecks coming from? Is your server desined for a I/O intensive workload like databases. Sequential read speed is not a good metrix.

What about concurrency? If this is is super read/write intensive, optimization could depend on where data is written while you’re reading

Look into a VPS + pangolin or headscale Also, check out Crowdsec

How can one reproduce this?

It’s not often discussed that Microsoft, Amazon, and other ‘very cool’ tech companies still practice this 80s firing the bottom 10% bull.. It has nothing with being a low performer, but everything to do with culling jobs indiscriminately and creating an in/out culture. Managers are forced to place employees into bottom performance slots, sometimes arbitrarily, so that teams/groups/departments fit the bell curve nicely. Then, people get fired, bonuses go out, and everything is peachy at the end of the fiscal yesr.

Let that stew for a few years and these behemoths are factories of pet projects and crunch culture. Your long-timers are either golden performers who’ve seen massive churn and project turbulance OR they’re climbers, willing to step on top of anyone or burn any project to climb the ladder or at least keep their spots.

Price?

I’ve heard that these switches are the most “real” feeling smart switches but I worry about them needing Internet access and having them in HA is a hard requirement

Please step away from screens for a bit. There are bad things/people in the world. Always have been, always will be. Your comment history has me worried for your sake.

It’s been awhile since I’ve seen a Stefon sketch. Thanks for the good memories

OMG perfect

Working from home also had, from my observation, a massive and materially beneficial impact on females specifically working mothers, who bare a disproportionate share of domestic work.

Ew

1. that sounds like a fire hazard
2. flu season was probably a nightmare
3. fuck that

This is extremely typical for Amazon corporate.

They have the data because they ask (corporate) employees about their working experience constantly. I’m sure employees love the option to WFH. But they don’t like the data (typical) because they spent billions building cheap, crowded, loud office space around the world.

So what do they do? They pull out the mantra, “Disagree and Commit”, which is Amazon manager speak for “shut up and do what I say.” Ironically, Disagree and Commit is actually “Have Backbone, Disagree and Commit” and is about finding alternative solutions or data when you think the company is doing the wrong things rather than keeping quiet.

Amazon, like most American corporations is an oligarchy and it’s run terribly at the top with dire consequences for their employees, customers, and the world.

I’ve seen several of our backyard chickens experience this. I think it might be an age or lack of rooster thing?
