Does it support NVME for storage? I only see MicroSD card.

What is the benefit?

This depends on the deployment model. I am curious, how does your release and deployment looks like?

Instead of Read-Modify-Write, I like to think of it as Read/Determine/Write cycle. A note worthy point is that, Paxos actually expects proposers to drop their value and carry-forward someone-else's value to complete the c

I totally agree. Paxos is such a simple solution that it is so amazing.

I agree with `Get` returning `(T, bool)` I don't see why one would want to return an `error`.

It becomes painful to write in unit tests. I really liked their `check` proposal. I hope they will bring it back to life.

Such assumptions break network request retries and/or relies on proposer-identity, etc.

Here is what the paper says: Phase 1. (a) A proposer selects a proposal number n and sends a prepare request with number n to a majority of acceptors. (b) If an acceptor receives a prepare request with number n greater than that of any prep

I do not want spend more time on this, so I will let you explore. Algorithm is not tied to the proposer identity (uuid or fqdn or ip, etc.) The promise in Phase-1 response is not to the proposer, but to the proposal-number. In your model,

Sure, imagine all nodes are crashed (due to poweroff) in the middle of two proposers A and B doing Phase2 with the same proposal-number, but different values. Remember, they can go to Phase2 cause their proposal-number is the largest ever s

The problem is on the recovery path. Recovery path needs to identify if there was a chosen value only from F+1 nodes (out of 2*F+1 nodes total). When two proposers with same proposal-number, but different values have partially executed the

On Paxos: The following already seems wrong. AFAIK the proposal number space must be divided across proposers. If all proposers use minNumber+1 replicas will diverge on the chosen value. protected override void Propose(Instance r) {

Transient is one of my favorite packages now. I replaced all my custom keybindings into transient under just one C-j keybinding. Now I have a meaningful popup window with my custom keybindings, so I don't have to remember the less-freq

Having NFC or Bluetooth on the hardware makes me paranoid. Aren't their software stacks large enough to be a security risk?

IMO, their taxable "income" is typically very less.

If they are not actually backed by dollar numbers, but with volatile assets (like real estate, stock, metals, or bitcoin, etc.), their holdings are not correct.

I don't know. If you (or someone) could tell me number of network-hops and Disk-IOs involved in performing an RPC using Kafka streams, I will definitely take a look at them.

How do you think Google does?

To me personally, it is not monolith vs microservice that bothers me, but statefull vs stateless services. If a service can't assume local state, it creates unnecessary design overhead. For example, you cannot achieve exactly-once sema

Google domains page says $98 a year after early-access.

$98 a year? Are they serious? Do they think all developers live in the first world?

Begin Greencard processing and get I-140, after which, you can keep extending your H1b beyond 6 year limit.

It has as much impact on my workflows as Magit does. If you are an Emacs user on Linux, you should give it a try.

+1 for Ubuntu Mono. IMO it has just enough styling that rest all feel like, too dull or trying too smart or plainly inconsistent.

Sounds interesting cause I like to use Go everywhere. Do you have any example we could look at? Thanks.

Why-Not depends on which side you fall into. There are two sides: People with Debt and People collecting Payments. People-Paying would love to start from zero. People-Collecting would not want that. If you think about it as two groups (theo
