Memcached has some rough edges (e.g. slab size management) that aren't there in Redis. Redis also gives you a couple extra useful primitives.

CAS is incompatible with the distribution architecture, which uses a best-effort distributed lock in lieu of e.g. a strongly consistent distributed state machine. It would require a lot more work.

How does groupcache handle consensus? Edit: Scanned the source, looks a like a best-effort distributed lock, rather than any sort of consensus protocol. This works for a cache setting, where e.g. having a split-brain scenario and duplicati

Groupcache is the interesting new part of the presentation, and it was just open-sourced a few days ago.

I tend to think that the housing is presently at a local maxima. There are at least four large highrise apartment complexes going in SOMA right now, along with a good size complex on Guerrero and Market St. Additionally, America's Cu

It benefits no one to have employees sitting around vesting because they can't pay their taxes to leave, hence RSUs have become more popular. I'm more interested in the emergence of derivatives markets against RSUs. It's started already, a

This is a great example of the "medium.com Style": a grandiose claim with no factual back up. This is a great example of the "news.yc style": a contrarian top comment with zero additional content. It's getting a little tiresome. I suspec

Back of the envelope math: Assume that the notary public needs a 70watt light bulb to function (ignoring food costs, paper, etc). 8 hour day, so about a half kwh. That electricity with a new asic miner would get you about a half bitcoin,

We called a sidecar for my 6'4" 250lb friend who was borderline blackout drunk, and were very amused when we had to help him into the Mazda Miata that arrived. Funny, but not ideal.

I used rails 0.8, which was a couple months after rails 0.5, the first released version. It was the same mvc structure, centered around activerecord, actioncontroller, and erb views. It embedded webrick for development, and production was

I'm skeptical that your bespoke approach is better than gluing together well-known and battle-tested tools, but if you stick at it, you naturally have the chance to do something better, because of the singular vision. Best of luck with thi

None of them are nearly straightforward enough to setup. Here's what I want. I ask ec2 for a new cloudformation ACMEPaaS stack instance, and I get a url of an admin console back as an output. Behind the scenes, a couple ec2 servers have b

I'm really excited about the idea of building a generic DiY PaaS out of docker (for container management), mesos/chronos (for scheduling and allocation), and cloudformation (for auto-scaling and bootstrapping the cluster). I don't really w

Encoding data into the blockchain isn't a bug--it's a feature (perhaps THE feature). When you want distributed consensus (e.g. for free-as-in-speech domain names), it's the only game in town. People should be able to put whatever data the

The numbers you see externally are the same as the ones used internally to reason about growth, and a great deal of care has been taken to keep them accurate. Fake accounts are culled, and inactives or likely spammers aren't counted in the

I'm not affiliated with OP, but I wrote perhaps the most similar OSS project, so I have some perspective here. There's a bunch of things going on on your boxes (logs, jmx, syslog, etc), and you want to get them out in a useful unified forma

All of the big players have already gotten similar consent decrees. Twitter got one over a password leak. Google got one over Buzz. Microsoft got one over Passport/Wallet (though that has perhaps expired). Facebook got one over Beacon.

My understanding is that the first time you are big enough and screw anything up (leak some PII, mess up your privacy policy, etc), the FTC gets involved on behalf of the citizens, and then you settle with them, the terms of which include I

Here's my speculation: Facebook bought Parse to attempt to own mobile usage data. Draw parallels with what Google did when they bought Urchin to form Google Analytics. I don't think Facebook cares about creating developer experiences. I
