This is pretty cool stuff. I have been working with Apache Flink where the computational model is exactly once (which is still hugely useful) but it still comes with caveats about duplicate messages downstream, which makes writing to downst

This is a pretty swell announcement. While I think I still might do an LVM for adding capacity, the biggest change here would appear the ability to scale provisioned IOPS. While gp2 disks IOPS are primarily tied to storage capacity, which o

I don't have the evidence so I can't make a judgement about whether Zenimax or Carmack is in the wrong here, but this does point out something strange in our court system and that is where a "jury of peers" which transla

I haven't been following kubernetes as closely for the last 6 months, cool to see that its also being supported... A lot of our decision to go with mesos was that our first use case is running big data tools (spark, etc) which have a g

I knew that was on the roadmap, but didn't know that it was supported yet. Very cool :)

One of the more interesting announcements. ECS has seemed like a non starter for any "serious" project for a while, but as someone who has been implementing mesos for the last few months, its pretty interesting that they would pri

Regardless of what you think about all the actors at play here, this is one of those stories to look back on that says... something... about the internet. A few million tweets led to media attention, discourse about schools and race, meetin

Incredibly fascinating article. The article mentioned both the 'sameness' of pop music as well as blatant copying, but what I find the most interesting is how they pop industry has somehow found some magical rate of evolution to k

True, but they have (generally) been second class citizens with very little adoption, mostly because targeting JS has had quite a few drawbacks, such as huge payload size or tons of time to parse and optimize. Assuming wasm delivers on its

Prepare for the onslaught of new (and old) languages targeting the web. While this is welcome news, I am also torn. The possibilities are pretty amazing. Think seamless isomorphic apps in any language that can target WebAssembly and has a v

These comments seem to illustrate something I have felt for a while: yagni is incredibly divisive topic and for every person saying praising it is another who is at the very least cautious of its application. It makes me wonder where the di

Mongo absolutely nailed creating a database that is easy to get started with and even do things that are traditionally more 'hard' such as replication. It is still super attractive for me to pick it up for small projects, even aft

This may be different now, but when I used Prediction API a few years ago, I don't remember it having any data analysis tools or multi-class classification. The UI was also pretty lacking. Haven't looked at in a while but perhaps

At first glance, this looks to go somewhat beyond Google's Prediction API, which (at least from my experience) is pretty limited in its usefulness. Its nice to see tools for analyzing your data as well as multi-class classification, an

Huh... Not sure I will ever understand the idealogical debate of different OSS software licenses. Ultimately, different licenses work well for different projects. More permissive OSS licenses (BSD/MIT and other) seem to be the best cho

I give credit to CoffeeScript with really helping to push the ES specs forward and think it helped introduce more people to JS and grow the ecosystem. Heck, I used it for a year, liked it, and had it change some of my approaches to writing

Awesome! It is really easy to be cynical about government policies and feel like there is little that can be done to change them, but it seems like what you are doing and orgs within the government, like 18F, are having success in changing

Out of curiosity, I wondered what sort of data my home county (Salt Lake County) kept and if I could get access to it. It was easy to find... but apparently will cost me $1000 dollars to access it... Perhaps I don't understand exactly

This is really interesting news and I think signals what will be a really large change in digital video in the next few years. Moving from flash to HTML5 adaptive bitrate is not trivial task and if you are familiar with MSE/EME, it sho

Timely post, I just heard back from Facebook today and didn't get an offer. I was pretty crestfallen at first, but I am kinda realizing that interviewing is really somewhat of a crapshoot. At the time, I thought I did pretty well but a

Very impressed. Spreadsheets have never quite "clicked" with me, but this did. It exposes a lot of functionality that your average person would want out of a spreadsheet in a much friendlier way. I am really curious on the "d

I am somewhat surprised at this topic. Of all the the issues Node.js has on windows, this seems like a fairly minor one. In my eyes, the biggest issue is simply this: A lot of module writers don't care about Windows. A big part of the

How about something simpler - Make images load slowly using JS. A ton of popular consumer sites - facebook, instagram, reddit/imgur are hugely image based. A few lines of JS to make them slowly load (perhaps PNG artifacts for bonus poi

Very impressed. This coalesces a lot of different ideas together into what seems to be a really tight package to solve hard problems. In looking around at what most companies are doing, even startupy types, architectures are becoming more d

The argument for Oculus to push forward and usher in new forms of communication certainly isn't new, but with a company like Facebook behind it definitely legitimizes it... And also makes it suddenly incredibly scary...
