It's worth clarifying the post title. Does Riak hash keys onto the ring? Yes. Does Riak hash nodes onto the ring? No. Is that still considered "consistent hashing"? I don't know.

Caltrain is not the most reliable. In my experience, BART is more reliable.

Well, that's really just "-setra" and other file system mounting options, and mdadm (Linux software RAID) configuration options. Yes, there's a little bit of a learning curve and pain to get things set up, but it's not completely out of re

Well, that's kind of the underlying point of the article and the discussion around it.

If you have m-r code in your application, codify those functions, store them separately in a directory or even Riak objects, and refer to them by name in your code. Or, better yet, write it in Erlang.

Given that Riak seems to implement buckets "for free" by essentially making them key prefixes under-the-hood, does the bucket name size need to be considered as part of the key size? e.g., if my bucket name is 32 chars and my keys in that

Those born deaf and not taught sign language will invent their own sign language. There are no human cultures without language. Spoken (or signed) language is natural for humans, and developed as a form of telepathy. I can get a thought t

Conditioner is meant to restore the moisture to your hair that shampoo takes. It makes sense that by only using conditioner your hair felt greasy.

I find it healthy and refreshing to take a step back frequently and look at these things from such a perspective. Like, say the perspective of your parents. I think it's that kind of reflection which helps make businesses like Facebook an

This post really articulated something I've been thinking a lot about lately. It's taken a long time for me to realize that I should trust my gut more. However, the description about how we learn language is completely wrong.

Maybe what's hidden is the code for determining what counts as a vote. e.g., multiple votes from the same IP may be discounted or simply counted as a single vote. Or a bunch of votes coming from fresh accounts created at or after submissi

It's a bit unfair to say that Twitter is bad at privacy. Twitter is public by its very nature. Google Buzz seems to be the same. Don't want to participate? Turn it off. I would also disagree that Facebook's take on privacy is "downright sca
