A cool tiny bit of trivia about RAMCloud: that's from this project that the Raft consensus algorithm emerged! ( https://raft.github.io/raft.pdf ) Right now, I think that the algo is used in RAMCloud via LogCabin ( https:

It's still under active development afaik. Edit: Double checked, and it is - somewhat - for sure. Including "2009" in the title would be misleading.

Most often people assume these opinions have to be political, but they really don't. Well, maybe within the scope of the question as defined by OP since it explicitly begs for controversy . But should you expand it to the broader Wha

That's because you take my criticism of the overall laziness as the ultimate end of my comment. It's not. It serves as context to answer the question that the article prompts: Why are techies enamored with Pr. Hariri, their "

Ultimately, the point is the pursuit of the truth. The postulates are that we are blind, fallible, and prone to "cargo-culting". So, in that setting, the preliminary step for any inquisitive mind should be to make space for the tr

If you read my comment again, you will see that I am not criticizing anyone for being smug. In fact, I say that I don't mind vanity when it is deserved. Elaborate and we could have a discussion, as it stands there isn't much for m

A few years ago, I attended my company's happy hours. I was an intern and too young to drink at the time. There was an open bar and more or less everyone was intoxicated. I join a coworker and we start chatting. Fifteen minutes later,

I don't have a horse in that race, I'm not even a US citizen - and I must say that whole debate on voter id laws is puzzling to me. After reading a bit on disparate impact and what constitute the "crux" of the issue, I

A few months ago I took some time off school to hack on a couple projects. Learnt a ton and even got to sell the end result for a decent amount of money. The overall experience is a net positive. However, be warned that it can get lonely re

Cool stuff, I would pay for that - even a single user - if you could provide me with strong privacy guarantees. I currently use my own code-note management app. It's crude and is essentially like a Jupyter notebook. I would be happy to

Interesting, that's odd! Racket is taught to first years here too, depending on the sections some Haskell as well, it is pretty popular especially along with the "How to Design Programs?" textbook.
