Platforms that enable a diaspora of small businesses to operate as effectively as large organizations with minimal startup cost. Why build a massive services organization when you can enable and finance a takeover by a multitude of smaller

If portability is a goal, the mmap approach will require a higher investment with more documentation on system tuning to recognize the benefit. But if you're deploying to one architecture with strong support for mmap, go for it.

No, ES is an affordable entry level search engine in a very expensive product space. But there is nothing new in the standalone search engine space that I am aware of. Many engines have been gobbled up and integrated into larger product sui

Teach or acquire? Talk to people about it often. Keep an open mind. Take note when someone exhibits the value in a way you admire and ask yourself: how can I emulate that next time I feel pessimistic about something?

It maintains zero configuration state. It is not completely stateless. Consumption of available requests is maintained statefully in RAM. If your Gubernator goes down, the quotas are effectively topped back up when Gubernator returns from t

How quickly could the process perform a simple operation, say compare or move, across all 2m+ stacks? I.e. how long is the latest stack frozen before it is given an opportunity to work?

From what I gather, Dark's deployment "unit" is the entire AST covered by a function, and these deployment units are versioned and promotable via an independent criteria. Perhaps one of the promotion strategies could involve

Only skimmed the paper, but to me this sounds like an incoherent description of Reliable Actors on Azure. I don't think it benefits the paper to position this model directly against something like Redis.

While aggressive inlining eliminates function call overhead, it can actually exacerbate instruction cache misses because it makes the executable larger.

In 2010 Endeca's analytics engine exe was growing substantially via introduction of template instantiations. The engine eventually crossed the threshold of instruction cache misses outweighing the benefits of avoiding type lookups at r

Are you talking about STL interfaces or implementations?

The entry cost of introducing the first set of distributed applications is so high you need backing.

I wonder if they simply haven't seen a strong application of logging, and therefore don't know what they're missing. Is there an opportunity in your daily work to sneak some good logging into a complex subsystem to show how v

Prototyping in Java is as fast as prototyping in Ruby once you understand how to use the tools equivalent to Pry in Java, and standard types instead of rolling your own types. JIT isso fast today the 20ms required to JIT what you type is im

New to Ruby, veteran Java/C++, while I'm liking what RubyMine adds, it's nowhere near what I get from a simple language with a simple type system like Java.

Starting a business gives you a broad enough diversity of things to do that you can sustain 90 hours per week dedicated to the effort for a long, long time. Coding burnout? Refine your pitch deck and cold call materials. Designing burnout?

Queue a slew of off the shelf rights management systems start-ups can bolt into their platforms as they scale. VC uncertainty probably stems from unclear law, not from technical challenges.

Three. And they're blended, which makes the selection hard. Latency, throughput, tolerance for dropped work.

I really enjoyed triplebyte's online software engineering challenge. One of their ads caught my eye about nine months ago, so I gave it a shot. I thought the challenges covered topics concerning software maintainability, implementation

Think of a video chat feature for a code pair website. Maybe you can deliver it faster if you build a central server based video chat model using a standard VP8 than if you go WebRTC and a heavily customized codec.

This explanation of const sounds much like Java's final, but not like C++'s const guarantees, which enable you to guarantee nobody downstream of a const modified reference will be allowed to perform a write operation through that

I wouldn't consider this class a state machine in the sense described in the paper. Any class managing state exclusively is an implicit state machine, no?

by cbetti 9y ago
This is a nice approach, thank you for pointing it out. I'd argue that you are building a separate state machine for the two players, but there is some reuse possible in this approach.

by cbetti 9y ago
One thing formal state machines make difficult is component reuse. Let's say you have a music playback control component you wish to reuse across a feature rich player, as well as a mini playback controller. You COULD just use the full

This idea of defining a hard error for a transition which makes no sense is a nice way to deal with the OPs problem. You must still explicitly handle the situation, but it minimizes the "unwind/undo" code.

Knowing this level of detail was critical for the analytics and database development I've participated in. Any time an algorithm must consult a dataset, and that data is changing rapidly, leveraging knowledge of the underlying system w

You've found a nice focus with this search engine: the relationship between a currency and the exchanges which trade it. Don't dilute the engine's purpose with "reviews of exchanges," etc. Instead, exploit the relat
