MySQL was already ridiculously popular from use in PHP/MySQL applications well before Rails was popular. That said, I generally agree with your statement: > MySQL was the perfect database for people who had no respect for databases.

That was around the time of the merger with McDonnell-Douglas. The 717 was actually the MD-95, so, you're basically correct either way. :)

That review was incredibly well done and effectively dismantled many of Apple's overblown claims.

It's poorly worded. Obviously the content storage itself is state by definition, but it means non-dynamic (or at least cacheable / "stateless") resources.

I'm sure this is tongue in cheek, but Googlers are just people who also go grocery shopping and have families to feed.

Looking through the code you can tell the author is putting a lot of work into this project. It's not the cleanest code, but it's the kind of "home cooked" project I really enjoy seeing. Built from the ground up using a

Yes, please do expand on this, since fast Paxos and similar are used for this in mission critical distributed databases for exactly this use case.

+1, sync replication also reduces availability: any replica downtime becomes write unavailability until you decide that replica is "dead" and stop replicating to it. There's also hybrid setups of sync+async for durability rea

They said that was their time budget, but didn't follow up with how expensive it ended up being in practice -- but agreed.

The automation in that video seems less than helpful, all the labor-intensive steps are being done by the humans, all the super easy stuff done by robot. The six-axis robot being used to move a pizza 2 feet was pretty amazing -- I have to i

> systematic fabrications If that's what you want to call models, sure. It doesn't matter whether it's a 503(c) or a corporation, modeling the real world is imperfect and messy.

Really depends on the size of each log and the complexity of the tokenizers. With 1 core you have time budget of less than a millisecond per log statement for processing and that doesn't include the relevant ES/Lucene operational

I am super sick of this meme. No, not every data point Google has on you is matched to an account and used for ads. Get real, friend. When Google DNS says they keep templogs for 24-48h and anonymized permanent logs for analytics, that'

Not trying to knock the work, but why is no static methods a selling point? How does one do utility classes instead? And do you eschew static factory methods entirely?

It's just a saying. All we do is move protos from one service to another. JSON is definitely not the right stuff.

Much of the Apache foundation projects come to mind when thinking about the GP's assertion, though certainly it doesn't hold for all projects: many are fairly novel and exploratory.

Configuration changes are often riskier than code changes. They're faster and often have outsized effects on the characteristics of your service and downstream services (even assuming they don't turn on new features.)
