Matz is neither a common german name (I've never encountered it) nor is class "klass" in german. It's "Klasse". Maybe you just missed out an "e" on the name aswell? There is "Matze" which would be a short version of "Mathias".

Uhm shouldn't that be ovious by reading the high level descriptions of each? They are for completely different use cases. Membase is a distributed Key/Value server and LevelDB is a Key/Value library.

Go is a nice language, I've used it for 3 projects so far. But the garbage collector needs some big improvements until I will use it for anything that gets some kind of heavy work load. I used it as a simple HTTP daemon that just collects d

Yes you need to make sure all your modifications lead to consistent states. If you don't do this, then you end up with inconsistent states and depending on your app deadlocks. Then it would only be useful as a cache and even then only if th

No, it does not mean that redis is busted. It could be your client crashing (e.g. the OOM killer decided to pay a visit), the network between the client and redis failing (but not for other clients!) and so on. There are many reasons why th

That does not help at all with the issue at hand. The problem is not colliding UUIDs, it is a race condition between getting the list of IPs and then writing them to redis.

What if the decr() fails because of for example a network issue? What if the process who is holding the lock dies? :)

Correct. While the rename of safe_ips itself is atomic, it does not guarantee you that the value hasn't been updated in the meantime. That's what CAS is for.

A lot of (especially web) applications suffer from race conditions. Luckily for most of them the effects are either temporary and/or not severe. It does not only apply to Redis but basically all data stores unless something like transaction

Galaxy S2, I know it worked on the original Galaxy S aswell. And I think I've seen it working on the Nexus S. It could be that Samsung added it to their phones and that it's not a Android feature itself.

I think it depends on the phone but I'm pretty sure most Android devices can do that by now. Mine can take screenshots by pressing the Home+Power buttons.

Newest update: Apparently someone got the whole user account database of Mt.Gox I wont publish the link to it though for obvious reasons. Quick analysis: the database is legit, it contains user id, username, email if set, and a bcrypt hash.

No, there were definitely transactions for $0.01 per BTC in the live feed. Here is another nice graph: http://leanback.eu/bitcoin/plots/20110619195756-mtgox.png

A little bit explanation: Mt.Gox is the biggest bitcoin market place by far. During the last 1h the whole volume of about 500k BTC was traded making the price drop from somewhere around $17 to virtually nothing. Details are not available ye

You can also click the sides (left or right) of the page. Not very intuitive interface, got me too :)

Couldn't agree more. Anything that deviates from usual usage patterns can be relatively easily detected and negative impact mitigated. But nowerdays botnets are the real threat with every 13 year old kid being able to get hundreds of machin

This suggestion is impractical as the attack works with even fairly small Content-Length. Say 10000 and sending 1 byte per second will limit you to 10kb uploads but still give each connection hours to run. Since most IO timeouts are fairly

If you have a botnet attacking you, then it's a whole different story anyways. Those can get your services down easily regardless of what attack they use or what protocol is in play (HTTP,FTP,SMTP, you name it) so the botnet argument does n

This is not as dangerous as the authors make it sound like. Just limit the maximum connections per IP (e.g. via mod_evasive in Lighty or firewall like iptables) and voila - attack voided. This is very similar to what Slowloris does but Slow
