Surprisingly this is what the akka framework promises : Message passing and immutability of objects.

by abhishekjha 6y ago
We are using the Akka framework so as to not to have to deal with threads directly. Message passing and immutable objects simplify a lot while adding one more abstraction layer.

What a strange coincidence! I have started learning Java concurrency from the book[1]. I am on the synchronization chapter and it looks like managing threads via Runnable directly is going to be painful. I am hoping I get a good intro to Ee

Akka actor framework comes to mind. I am in the process of learning it and it is definitely simpler to wrap your head around it.

Yes, there was an ongoing criticism from Joel regarding storing plain text passwords.

by abhishekjha 6y ago
This came up in the stackoverflow podcast where Reddit founders were the guest. They mentioned that they stored plain text passwords initially which is fundamentally a bad design but at the same time it helps to block spam. If a user starts

Would the one datasource have a single database with several tables, one for each server? Lets say I am monitoring mysql. Currently I have a `mysql` table in a databse named `telegraf` on each host. Can I combine multiple influx datasources
