I dislike the post title as it makes this appear a bigger deal than it is. It should read "bug found in Rust scoped threads". The general principle has not been found unsound.

One solution I've seen is to use two unique string values instead of True/False, and reject all other string values. eg. foo.frob("quick", "loud", "noforce") foo.frob("slow", &quot

A less fragile approach would be for the old process to simply pass the listen fd to the new process over a unix socket. You could also pass any active connections in this way.

In which case they should've started up an independent service "sucks.com" where you could have "easydns.sucks.com", "hackernews.sucks.com"...ie. why involve DNS registration at all, if you're actuall

So glad someone did something like this and made it presentable enough for widespread usage. In contrast, my own "utils" libraries[1] are often too specific, or not well documented. However, there's already some overlap (eg.

I'd be very interested to know what kind of consistency guarantees EFS provides. The history of NFS is plagued by syscalls whose docs have a variation of the phrase "this operation is atomic (except on NFS)".

While there's alot of unknowns at this point, my money would be to stick with S3. Serving static files quickly is a large part of what it is designed to do. From what I'm reading here, EFS seems more geared towards shared volumes

Only tangentially related, but I find it weird that guides like this still suggest seperate root, home, boot and swap partitions. What is the point of separating / from /home? I know the /boot thing is due to max size stuff o

This kind of result is perfectly valid. If candidates A and B are polarising, and candidate C is a compromise candidate, and you have a preferential voting system, then it makes sense that many people would put A or B first, and C second, p

As several comments here point out, the intended usage of JSON is as a serialization format. In which case, I would expect dates to be in epoch time (if you need to include timezone data, that should be a seperate field). What annoys me is

The problem is in what concepts are being considered "the same" when mapping two mostly-dissimilar things (a socket or pipe, vs a file). poll(), select() et al don't define "readable" as meaning "a byte of data

Unrelated to the library itself: I dislike when python projects have an external website containing the docs, and have no docstrings in the code itself. Not only is the code harder to read, but it makes the inbuilt help() useless.

First of all, because one of their explicit choices was to use HTTP. Using a persistent message bus like RabbitMQ has great advantages, but in terms of failure modes acts very differently to HTTP. For example, an upstream service failure wo

So what if, during a partition, I publish another message? Does it get rejected for not being able to reach N servers within timeout, or has "N" been adjusted down to the size of the currently-reachable machines. ie. is a partitio

I suspect what happened there was to do with http://www.rabbitmq.com/ha.html#unsynchronised-slaves When using mirrored queues, Rabbit does ensure all the active mirrors are written to before confirming a publish: &quo

If we're talking about implementations in various languages, I might as well link to my capped backoff with jitter implementation for python. https://github.com/ekimekim/pylibs/blob/master/libs/

by ekimekim 12y ago
In general, you want to consume messages "fairly" ie. in a way that minimizes latency introduced by the queuing. Best-effort ordering gives you this most of the time, which is better than none of the time.

Rabbitmq has at-least-once semantics (unless requeue = false, in which case all bets are off, since you could get a message multiple times due to cluster partitions^ or not at all due to a drop without requeue. Note that unlike disque, requ

Any chance on releasing the code as a single script, so I don't need to copy-paste the snippets you posted and fill in the blanks myself?

At a guess: A lack of practical ways to perform such checks without extensive extra knowledge and annotation as seen in the article. A large factor is likely that Haskell is pure by default - something that is reasonably rare in many langua

With this scenario in mind, could it make more sense to adopt a version scheme incorporating the initial release date (or considering the kernel workflow, merge window date), similar to ubuntu? "I'm running linux 15.2.4, aka. the

Only somewhat. I don't agree with the sentence here, but a full analogy would be a knife-maker who made a custom knife to order for a person who they knew intended to market it as a murder weapon.

An aspect of the syntax is confusing me here. I would have assumed that the expression 'x+?' would be parsed as '((x)+)?', ie. 'x*'. However, it seems the parser special-cases this as (x)(+?) instead, and inter

I find it sad that you're being voted down for having different cultural associations and definitions than another poster.

I think the sentiment was "standardize on the majority", not "everything the US does is wrong".
