also i don’t know if you’re looking for recs but c++ primer (not c++ primer plus) is good. it’ll definitely put the fear of god into you though. i learned so much about constructors.

MononcQc posted:Stripe uses MongoDB in prod. Mongo can be configured with different storage engines, and while I wouldn't use it anyway, they have made improvements since the first version that used MMAPed files for storage (which is now deprecated) and have moved to an MVCC journaled (checkpointed) storage that can support at-rest encryption and compression. It's still not the safest thing for data integrity, but given enough years, their tech is slowly narrowing the gap with their marketing material. Like it's not great, but it's not as stunningly bad as it used to be. Data integrity seems like it would be a mission critical feature for payment processing. How is using mongo not ridiculously negligent on the part of Stripe?

my first job out of college was writing C and it owned. hard part about c++ is you'll learn how to do things right and then come into a real project and it will have such a large framework written underneath it that it won't even resemble c++ at all. but good for you.

unrelated, but amazon prime day opening moments had such a traffic flow it took down amazon, and, by proxy impact propagating through aws, discord (and probably a host of other stuff)

MononcQc posted:Uber made a definite choice to switch from Postgres to MySQL because the k/v pattern they had with it is better served by the MyISAM storage of MySQL than Postgres' MVCC for what they do with it. if myisam proves itself real-world better than postgres hstore for your application, maybe you don't actually need/want an sql database ? at that point surely direct access to an isam storage engine is a winner leveldb or something idk

Finster Dexter posted:Data integrity seems like it would be a mission critical feature for payment processing. How is using mongo not ridiculously negligent on the part of Stripe? They seem to use it as a hub for event-processing (see Monster). They've got some open source driver that tails oplogs in Mongo to replicate all operations everywhere they want, and so by using various mongo ops, get to replicate all operations to any subscriber they want.

I've become very interested in doing systems programming (thanks to rust) and I have enough funds to spend ~ 1 year focusing on reorienting my career. this was exactly me a couple of months ago. quit my job in march, debated whether i'd be happier working on operating systems, databases, or infosec. embedded seemed interesting but the vibe i got was the code was just as bad to work on as a typical web app. anyway i still have no idea so if you figure anything out uhh let me know

MALE SHOEGAZE posted:I also really need to work on nailing down exactly what doing "systems programming" means to me. I don't necessarily mean I want to do work on the linux kernel or embedded. I may be happier working on anything that's slightly "closer to the metal," even if I'm still mostly in the web domain. So yeah, need to nail this down. fwiw im a "systems" programmer obv more into embedded but i did interview at Fastly, they were writing bare-metal ISR's in C. again more on the embedded side, but gray forums poster 'csammis' made the hop from HLL's down to my world, you might want to check out their posts in the newbie/oldbie/jobseeker threads as well. he did a lot of GH-as-CV stuff to make the hop

thing is, even as an object store, you do get more with postgres, like transactions, secondary indexes

JawnV6 posted:fwiw im a "systems" programmer thanks! i've been reading through the oldie programming thread. i'm going to post in there soon. i'm still at oldjob and real progress is on hold until i get out (2 more weeks). you're an EE, right? one concern i have is that my lack of degree will hold me back more than it has in my current occupation. i think it's probably true that degree matters more in the lower level world, but i also imagine it's still pretty unimportant.

cinci zoo sniper posted:production database got deleted today in an alleged accident by a team lead  I have a terrible kubernetes admin question, as I think there were some k8s bittervets in here... Is it at ALL advisable to encrypt my layer 7 traffic between nodes in the cluster? i.e. between my .net core services that are (right now) set up to communicate via http. We have everything else super locked down via locking down the k8s API and restrictive network policy that only allows communication between nodes if they are specifically whitelisted etc. etc. I'm used to working on public safety stuff that REQUIRES encryption across ALL boundaries no matter what, so my kneejerk reaction is to freak out that my nodes aren't talking over https.
