  1. Someone asked me this afternoon “Is this the line for the cable car?”

    I replied “I’m not sure. I’m #British, I just saw a queue so stood in it.”

    The person asking just looked confused, but a lady two spots down from her overheard and burst out laughing, before giving me a big grin.

    It was indeed the cable car queue, as I explained a moment later to the person who had asked, once I’d finished amusing myself.

    Well I thought it was funny at least! And quick, I think you’ll find. 😁

  5. That tool I wrote some years ago because you couldn’t be arsed to find a #batch #queueing and capacity management tool? It’s being rehabilitated to work with present-day versions of tools and libraries.

    I hope you’re happy, #developers. Enjoy your hollow victory over many years of refusing to address #technicaldebt. I will be keeping the #receipts.

    This lab will provide a demonstration of how to configure Quality of Service (QoS) on a MikroTik router, showcasing the different methods available for setting up traffic queuing.

  15. Things I'll probably never understand about #queueing while #traveling:

    People that stand up at the earliest sign of boarding and wait in line at a closed #airport gate and don't just chill in the chairs until the line moves and is a bit shorter.

    Surely you'll all get the seat you've been assigned? This isn't the USA after all...

  19. A few hours ago we moved the last trickle of jobs over to latency-based queues. We're slotting into one of:

    * within_30_seconds
    * within_5_minutes
    * within_1_hour
    * within_24_hours

    We've hit a few snags - blowing those SLAs when slow jobs clog the works, starvation, unable to detect and auto-scale the lower latency queues fast enough, etc… Those problems were always there, but we didn't "see” them, and so didn't address/talk about them. Now we see them. And fix them.

  24. Next was an interesting talk by Eva Tardos on learning in strategic #queueing systems. I don't think I've thought about queueing since undergrad, but it's always fascinating how small tweaks in approaches can yield massive gains in performance youtube.com/watch?v=l2bvbCyl2T (3/6)

  29. So I am attempting to understand Queueing Theory that is more advanced than Little's Law and of course came across Defunctland's history of Disney's FastPass. I had a big guffaw when they showed an excerpt of a M/M/1 paper, scoffed at how you'd have to hire an engineering team "just to get to the bottom of this incredibly niche curiosity..." and then they do just that. So great.
