SERIOUSLY! Riak is NOT MEANT for single-node clusters!!! It gets faster THE MORE NODES YOU ADD. The minimum recommended number of nodes is 3; the "ideal" minimum number of nodes is 5.

From the impression I get, if your growth is big enough that you need multi-site replication (I'm sure there are outlying cases where you are a small company and need multi-site replication, but those are very rare instances I would think)

The only thing you don't get is multi-site replication. They gotta pay the bills; cassandra gets its love from Facebook...

by Ixiaus 14y ago
This is a good comment. I first got excited about Riak because I'm an Erlang programmer (hence why I knew about it) and tried to build a side-project web app using it; only to realize Riak is poorly suited for the type of task where you nee

Yay for FreeBSD support! I didn't like hacking on it to get it to install on FreeBSD... Also yay for LevelDB improvements :)

I would argue the path to syzygy isn't "giving up" anything but "integrating". Instead of giving up "man" as an identity (complex in the psyche) why are we not "integrating woman" as an identity to be a stabilized, whole, pairing with "man"

I highly support the idea of learning Scheme first too - particularly with the Little Schemer books!
520.
by Ixiaus 14y ago
Haskell, Scheme (a LISP), Erlang, Clojure will all set you straight. What's great is, once you grok one; the others are much easier to get a handle on.

I disagree here. Amazon has clearly proven the market with their Amazon Prime membership; Amazon has massive mind share (I don't even know what Webvan is/was); Amazon will also only improve operating efficiency by building these warehouses
522.
by Ixiaus 14y ago
No it isn't, because it's markedly less efficient. Amazon is, literally, taking the concept of the "store" and putting it online - yes they've done that already, but the instant gratification of receiving your item same-day; that's a true s

This looks very interesting; however, I do wish they would stop doling out the koolaide on (almost) every page. Instead of telling me why they are "this much faster than xyz" all I see are some graphs and numbers, which isn't particularly h

RabbitMQ doesn't have all that built in at all. RabbitMQ is only an AMQP message broker/exchange/queue agent. It's hard to articulate (and probably should be done in a blog post) all the things that can go wrong, but rest assured, there are
526.
by Ixiaus 14y ago
AMQP is overkill in most cases (I found out from personal experience). The OP has a good point in using Celery. See my comment above if your rendering clients are written in Erlang.
527.
by Ixiaus 14y ago
What does having Erlang experience provide for you when using RabbitMQ? Unless your rendering nodes were written in Erlang... In which case you could have easily just used Erlang's built in node connection primitives and used RPC's instead

I can vouch for this, I've been running on daily for the last 2 years and have rarely encountered a game stopping issue.

I'm not so sure it's toxic, particularly with the reduction in costs to get up and running these days (Linux on a laptop with Emacs/VIM and a LAMP stack is free except for the hardware and hosting on the cloud makes it VERY affordable to st

Instead of making a post like this, I would have actually written a blog post about it - that would have been more effective for this crowd. Just sayin' (I agree w/ you btw, but not with your medium).

Stop complaining. If you built your own company and were offered to be "acqui-hired" you most likely would take it! There are some businesses that are viable enough to stand on their own - but the majority of startups in our industry are BU

I hated every single ORM "system" I have ever come in contact with from many different languages with the exception of one: SQLAlchemy. SQLAlchemy isn't just easy and intuitive, it is really smart and well built. For a long time I was o

That actually is the reason why you hold your car keys. It's less of a "being able to get in the car quickly" and more about being able to "gouge their eye out".

The problem though, is empathy is going to be really hard for men -> women or women -> men; both sexes are remarkably different culturally. What you see is a large number of socially awkward and inept people flocking to industries w

In general, I have to agree with this - but the part that bothers me is men are being stigmatized for having the conversations that are typical for a group of guys. What is frustrating is women often complain about not being included - bu

There are two things here that need to be addressed: 1. I agree, hypocrisy is ridiculous - I workout 6 days a week, am deeply engrained in programming, and have females everywhere (in my industry and outside of it) constantly staring at me,

I dunno, this feels like the "web developers" approach to logging. I can't say that it wouldn't be cool to be able to parse logs into a structured format, but honestly, tools are already there to parse logs that are very powerful (gawk + sh
