As a matter of fact, I'm still at university and mine actually showed a fair bit of modern C++ (University of Warsaw here). So I don't feel ensured. As for C#, I don't claim I know stuff. I'd just like to learn something

Hey. ScyllaDB employee here. There are several reasons C++ was used and I don't think span ultimately matters. List from top of my head (ordered randomly): 1) we use intrusive containers, so memory managing container data structures is

What do you mean here by memory layout? For instance, the order of fields in a rust struct can (theoretically) change by recompiling. It's not defined by the order of fields in the definition.

Endianess is not the only problem. You can have issues with different cache coherency model, different alignment requirements, different syscalls (which are partially arch-dependent, at least on Linux). The fact that the switch from x86 to

That also means that if you used seccomp to restrict mprotect syscall, the child process may never ever write again, which is an unfortunate design choice.

Scylla is not only about throughput. One of the values of Scylla is its reduced latencies or ease of maintenance. Overview of reasons: https://www.scylladb.com/scylla-vs-cassandra Disclosure: I'm an engineer at ScyllaD

Seastar already uses coroutines, however coroutines without Seastar reactor (and all the utilities for IO) are useless by themselves. You still need a way to schedule what's being done when.

We don't use md5 for private/public keys because md5 is a hashing algorithm, unrelated completely to encryption. Also, what are your reasons to believe that md5 has been used there?

I'm native polish speaker and after 3 years of learning mandarin, and I need to somehow confirm, and somehow rebute. Pinyin ch is almost exactly like polish cz. Pinyin q is quite close to ć, but to make that sound you need to touch you

Brendan Gregg is the author of eBPF, and he writes on his blog. It is fair to assume a basic knowledge of his works when reading his website.

This isn't true, this form of conditionals can be compiled into cmov type of instructions, which is faster than regular jump if condition.
