then it seems strange to call it a cache.

by hendzen 12y ago
why even pay the cost of memory mapping if its a transient embedded cache not shared between servers? just use a std::unordered_map, or better yet a tbb::concurrent_unordered_map or whatever the equivalent is for your language

I don't think it's comparable to benchmark MDBM against LMDB or WiredTiger as keys are not kept in sorted order (no range queries), there is no support for transactions, and MDBM does not offer durability in the event of power los

This is very impressive, however... See this tweet by @aphyr: https://twitter.com/aphyr/status/542755074380791809 (All credit for the idea in this comment is due to @aphyr) Basically because the transactions modif

Another ambitious p2p project with no code written. Yawn.

Mesosphere should really evangelize libprocess [0] more. Probably one of the cooler C++ libraries out there. [0] - https://github.com/apache/mesos/tree/master/3rdparty/libproc...

Seems like they independently invented a sort of log structured merge tree.

With std::make_shared, and the addition of std::make_unique in C++14, you shouldn't ever need to use new for this purpose either.

No. Apache Mesos was originally developed at the UC Berkeley AMPLab as a research project. Twitter was a very early adopter, who subsequently hired the Mesos author/creator.

Lots of "great" stuff in this post. 1) Problem only rich people have (sharing Nets season tickets) 2) Talking his own book (slavish praise of the Coinbase mobile app; Coinbase is a portfolio company) 3) Mentioning irrelevant Bitco

"Protocols and constructions should be designed to minimize dependence on randomness, the way DJB's EdDSA does:" I think a lot of the reason that ECDSA/DSA are so inelegant was that they were designed to get around the p

I wasn't aware of that actually. Seems like everyone I know is using Venmo already - including having it linked to their bank accounts. Not sure I would trust FB with my bank information.

by hendzen 12y ago
I kind of would expect them to acquire Venmo before trying to build this. Venmo already has a lot of traction in this area.

What kind of product is it? If this is a SaaS application, I would not recommend open sourcing it. If you are shipping software that runs on client hardware (e.g. a database) it might make sense.

If you read between the lines, notice how the "Palantir Gotham Appliance" for 151,042.82 includes "Palantir recommended...database software licenses." I would bet Oracle (or MS/IBM) is getting a hefty chunk of that.
