That was my experience as well. The rules around leader election, terms, voting, timeouts and the like are very subtle.

It took me months to do a reliable Raft implementation. The author of the Raft paper, Diego Ongaro, wrote in a comment on a Raft mailing list that it could take weeks. The Raft paper is really easy to read and understand, but the actual cod

I wonder if the date problem is a bug, not a feature? Is it possible to dump the metadata of a book and check if they have the right date? There should probably be multiple dates for a book -- date written, date copyrighted, date published,

It's likely to be difficult. I heard a good analogy once: imagine balancing a broom, handle pointed straight down, on one fingertip. It's not that hard. Now imagine balancing a toothpick. Impossible. Scale matters. Bigger things a

Ah yes, didn't know that was there. Would be nice if Maven acknowledged it. Some kind of standardization would be helpful. In particular, it would be good if a tool could sort on the post-hyphen part so it could know which pre-release

I want to see some support for alpha, beta, pre-release, and snapshot versions. The problem is that everyone does it differently, and build systems have a hard time distinguishing these non-production-ready versions. For example, I type &qu

Upvoting the parent. The comment is worthwhile and merits discussion. Should not have been downvoted. The comment that this is a way of reducing investor risk and may yield a higher valuation is well-taken. But founders should not agree to

I'd love to learn more. I'm in need of a fast engine. What proprietary engines do you know of that I can look at? Do you have more details on your own designs? Anything you can share?

Disagree. $60 is nothing if this tool saves me hours of time. The developers need to make sure they make enough money to keep the project going. I like this project way better than Bootstrap Studio or any of the others I've tried. Some

Another vote for Azlo. I have three accounts there, my main business account, which has a decent balance, and two low-balance side accounts. I abandoned Chase because I got tired of the absurd fees, and the know-nothing perfectly-coiffed st

I'm glad they're going to try to get multi-line strings right, but seriously, I (and many other people) have wanted this feature for 19 years. This is not an exaggeration. I was writing code in Java to access SQL databases in 1999

"Don't pave cowpaths" is relevant here. If the old software is convoluted, it may be because the old business processes are convoluted. A software rewrite should be done in the context of a business process redesign. Consider

If the school would force teachers to grade on a curve, the problem would go away. Teachers would have only a limited budget of high grades to give away. Grading on a curve is not without problems, particularly when class sizes are small, b

Sorry, I'm going to be a contrarian here. JWTs can be good. First, cookies-vs-local storage is a non-issue here. If a JWT is small, it can be put in either location. The only real issue is, should session state be on the client or on t

Yes. And then we've created a pay-to-play system. Not good.

If they had made a cash donation, it would have been an unambiguously good thing. Equity, however, creates a conflict of interest. If the non-profit Postgres organizations make money when Citus makes money, then they have an incentive to fa

I've long thought that this is the way applications should be built. 90% of what we do as app developers could be automated away. This looks really promising. That having been said, I'd like to echo some of the other comments here

I'd love to see a graph of the stars over time. Or perhaps a graph of a new-stars-per-month statistic. That would show which ones are getting more popular and which are in decline. Jekyll has a ton of stars, but that's probably be

Try Norm, https://github.com/dieselpoint/norm . I wrote it to solve one problem: get rid of all the boilerplate that JDBC requires. Beyond that, it maps tables to pojos, or to Maps and Lists, if you prefer. Minimalism i

But that's kind of the point -- those who live in large enterprises who can't use the AGPL must buy a commercial license. The AGPL is toxic in some places, and its use is a deliberate attempt to nudge people toward a commercial li

Yiftach (and Antirez), Please talk more about AGPL. MongoDB has a similar problem, and they solved it by making their product dual-licensed, AGPL + commercial. They then clarified the AGPL to say that in their opinion, it did in fact preven

You're an undergrad, and an intern, and now is the time for learning. Do whatever you know less about and learn it. This is no time to specialize.

The new signs caused the rate of tickets at the spot to slow down, not stop. According to the charts, there are still 300 tickets per year being written at that one spot. That is huge. It's not a coincidence that that huge number of ti

I know this intersection. It's at the corner of State and Division, in the heart of the Rush Street neighborhood. The likely reason there are many tickets there is that there are many bars there, and great crowds of people who have had

I often use temporary tables to hold intermediate results. Does that not work for you?
