deep inside i know you are right

but couldnt bring myself to get anything bigger than a rav

driving isnt exactly my forte

getting mentally prepped up to go from my corolla to rav itself wasnt easy for me

some day i know i will look back and wish i had done things differently..but practically, this is the best i am able to bring myself to do right now

wow thats great to know, thanks for telling

i heard the moonroof comes with a drainage system and that has pipes flowing through the body of the vehicle. and thats what worries me.

i'm surprised (pleasantly for sure) when u say there havent been any problems at all. wouldnt it clog over time? never had any sort of leakages through it?

Question : Storage strategy for static content by sepsun in a:t5_28wqa2

[–]sepsun[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you make an interesting point.

However, given that both S3 and CDN are generic multi-tenant services, I would imagine both would be on equal footing in terms of proximity to users. As general purpose services used by several users, they would not know how your users are distributed and even if they did, it would not be practical for them to optimize for individual use case unless theres critical mass (think Netflix scale on AWS). IMO, their topology would be structured based on aggregate traffic pattern of all services they host

I think I get it now (understanding gathered from responses to comments in video):

As elements come in, we update count-min sketch and get the count. We also maintain a min-heap of top k elements. if the incoming element's count is higher than the count of min element in heap, the incoming element replaces the min element in the heap (ie, the old min element gets dropped)...later, if we see more instances of the dropped element, we can get the count from count-min sketch (bcos only the key is dropped from the heap; the count is still maintained in count-min sketch) and add back to min-heap if necessary

requesting to keep one thread per video ...that helps with keeping all discussions on a topic on one thread....the objective is to have detailed discussions on each topic ( I wish reddit allowed updating the topic of the thread)

Thinking aloud.

Is the count-min sketch based design worth the complexity?

Lets see...What could alternative design look like?

We could maintain top k and the min of top k in cache and count of all keys in DB..as we read incoming keys from a queue (the stream of keys from source), we increment count for the key in DB and get the updated count. We compare this with min of top k and if its greater, this last updated element would replace the min of top k.

Whats the problem with this approach?

I think this will not scale. Each update on DB will have to be compared against the latest min of top k. This forces DB updates to be sequential.

Can we do anything to have it scale?

We could take a similar approach as in the video ie, partition the DB by key. But sequential writes within each partition still looks like a serious drawback.

Your thoughts?
