That would be rather hilarious given that they were always touted as better marketers than anyone else in the market. At least that was the blame in every community I was involved in (OS/2 & Linux).

I'm using it to collect stats from various systems, events and alerts too. It makes it easy to collect new data points and add fields to new events and query things in a consistent way across the entire data set. When the schema is not

And here I was ready to see an analysis that showed the voter statistics and show some interesting information about it. I monitor the new and ask pages and vote rarely, often just forgetting to vote after I saw the article...

No real info in there. They only say that they mix CDNs based on where the different strength, probably using some DNS tricks of their own based on GeoIP. No real details on how they figured how to split things or how they performed the spl

What I would like in something like that is the ability to push from outside an image to be used. Docker has push to a central location and then you need to pull from it which makes it harder for a small setup like mine.

I'm interested in finding more about disk failures (HDDs and SSDs), possibly with an eye to create an advance warning system for increased chance of multiple failures in a RAID system or the imminent failure of a single disk. Blog is a

I have OS/2 Warp 3 and 4, both boxes at home. They both worked on my computer at the time and run my tiny BBS and allowed me to work on the computer flawlessly. This was much better than my peers who had to dedicate a computer to this.

Android with ART sounds very much like that. They compile the bytecode to native code at installation or major arch change.

You are right. One could use LXC for completely allocating a CPU for some container so they can compete on one aspect. LXC still doesn't run on bare-metal and so can't take on the cpu separation for hardware accesses but there is

by baruch 13y ago
It can't be competing with LXC, with LXC you can do over-provisioning of the server and maximize the utilization. With Jailhouse you under-subscribe your system in order to get maximal separation and performance guarantees. I can see u

Their use case is mostly write-once, they fill the data and never delete. The write-rate is probably more limited by the upload speeds of its users than the disk bandwidth and the multitude of port-multipliers that they use. Recovery is any

I mostly handle server appliances and the read-only boot disk is bread-and-butter for anything I do. Bonus points for using initramfs and never hitting the boot disk after the initial boot is completed. But if you stick to boot SSDs that ar

Your disks are going fine, do you feel the urge to report about it in the reviews on amazon or newegg or where you bought it from? There is an inherent bias in the reviews. Which makes the backblaze report so interesting, they have less of

They do a different tradeoff here. There is no need for a hardware raid if performance is not your main concern (and even if it is hardware raid is no panacea), if they save everything to disk before acknowledging it they don't need a

I've used mostly 7200rpm SATA and Nearline-SAS and they are mostly fine in fact, didn't play enough with higher rpm SAS yet but so far I don't see a big difference between them and the 7200 NL-SAS drives. I'd echo the se

They get the same writes but not the same reads, so depending on the bug source it may not hit both at the same time. The read pattern itself may affect the way the writes are performed to the flash (delaying or speeding up writes pending f

I don't have a strong opinion on whether pg and YC are right or wrong on their position. I also see no real reason to obsess over this, it's just is.

The issue with managing your own servers is that you are tied 1:1 to specific hardware. Something fails? You have no server. Need an upgrade? It's a financial outlay. You may lease the hardware and you may also lease the hardware maint

One reason for not giving out a reason is that with the reasons given, collected and analyzed one could try to game the system by eliminating all signals that YC uses to detect bad applications without actually fixing the underlying issues.

Is there a good way to declare a REST API and automatically have a cli created from it? Having a simple GUI would also be great but that seems like a much less likely chance.

As an undergrad I was thought about ADT (Abstract Data Type) and then the "proper" way was to provide a _new method to allocate the data. This also allowed to completely hide the type as the C header didn't need to show the c

That would be my preference. And contrary to what others thought that one would want a lot of these loops, when you want only a few, especially when those few are fixed for the entire program life you can do better by avoiding malloc altoge

by baruch 13y ago
There are several levels at play here. malloc maintains a shared data structure that is used across cpus and must lock for access to that data structure. There are optimizations there being used with some alternative allocators such as per-

TFTP is a UDP based file transfer protocol that uses a stop-and-wait and a simple retry loop, if you use only that you risk hitting congestion very fast and having a hard time to fix it. The suggestions above to use iPXE and switch to TCP t
