Disagree. Somewhat strongly. The last thing we need are more nerds in the pejorative sense that can't see past their particular electrons in their favorite elements in the dirt. You gotta at some point lift your gaze. A major issue at

According to Stanford prof who launched ramcloud Facebook indeed uses MySQL. But MySQL by itself was hopelessly slow. That's why Facebook has over 4000 memcache servers (this as of 2009). By the time you add ram underlying disks he est

You're confusing cause and effect. The goal of the south was slavery and leave if they did not get it - cause. The north was then handed a problem to which civil war. Effect. The south lost. Lincoln was trying to avoid bloodshed by arg

Wrong. Absolutely wrong. The continued divisive nature of American politics is not because of enemies or the two party system. It's incompetence and lack of backbone. Neither political party has had the conviction of enlightened reason

Op - thanks for finding and posting. I enjoyed reading it, and was pleased to see evidence intelligent rhetoric with heart. Now at this point Lincoln said he would not stop slavery -- that would change though.

I do not object to publishing a better result. Like the paper said serious craft goes into that and there's nothing wrong with typing it up and having it published. But it's not science; one day one time some how some way the blac

Agree - rules engines are legion in commercial envs and a decent language or accessible non Java reit engine is something on my shopping list too.

I was talking to my wife about why something around the house was slow to get done. Well, Rust wasn't having that. For a full 30-mins I was on full defense trying to figure out how Rust got into the house. It's everywhere. And it

Agree. The guy needs to get a room with himself, get over it, and come back with something to say. Linux also isn't for desk tops by and large.

In human relations a kind of Kolmogorov complexity measure in which we communicate the most information in the least symbols or words --- well illustrated with your 'wanna get dinner' --- I think is adjacent to directness and open

A really nice assessment and description. Periodically I fall into "give advice because you are deeply desperate for validation". I'd like build on your words and summarize what I learned from still another person Dr. William

OP has Solarflare NICs. So surely > 1MM pps is possible on that HW? But as you opened with 1 million per second on the Linux stack, I gather that kernel by-pass and such were by definition out of scope. The goal here was to always pass t

I find these kinds of near-journal-article-for-self fairly useless. If you think our stuff is boring where'd you leave intel/amd etc doing statistical process control in the domain of mother nature that's got the standard mod

The following enters into the OP's link somewhat sideways, but in an important way I think. There's an old 60's analogy attributed to Fritz Pearls: you can touch the menu; you can read the menu; you can lick the menu; you can
