The hash ring is so dumb. I don't understand why it's still a thing (or was a thing to begin with.) Just hash and mask some number of bits, and map each index you get to some node. Faster, simpler, even enough distribution. If you

Elixir fixed all the things that didn't matter, and made all the things that matter harder and more expensive. Raw Erlang is better for anyone used to more than three languages.

For an individual index fund, who is making the argument that it's big enough for anti trust? If one fund owns 1% of American Airlines, and 1% of United Airlines, they have no monopoly/dominating power over either.

Is the board independent? If so, the board is the boss of the CEO. You owe it to the board to let them know about problems with their charge. If the board is Buddy Buddy or the company is bootstrapped, then just give two weeks notice and st

So it's like pivotal labs, or any other contract shop? Why would anyone fund this? This sets off my "peak tech" sensor like nothing before it!

How much would you realistically make if you competed your course successfully? What are the real chances of that actually harkening, over how long? Multiply the two, and subtract an estimate of how tired you are of the working alone part,

I'm more used to three previous definition. I would say those companies have tried to bootstrap, but bit successfully achieved it. Of you are a successfully bootstrapped business, you achieved goals without taking outside investment mo

Privacy is gone; it's a chimera. Let's focus on building a society where we use openness for the common good instead! E.g. don't let some people still try to hide because they consider themselves "special." Sunlight

Taxing the most efficient? Sound like Luddite thinking to me. Instead, figure out how to best harness the human power that is released!

Society-wide, technology is a human output multiplier. Over time, people without jobs will find or create new jobs, and overall output increases. The question is not "how many jobs does technology destroy," but "how nimbly wi

The trade off is decaying data. We store and query 300,000 counters with 10 days of 10 second resolution and successive buckets out to six years, on a single bare metal server (+ backup replica) using GitHub.com/imvu-open/istatd b

I know several people who worked on Android, and then left, because the architects were repeating known failure patterns from the past, yet failing to recognize it. Those patterns are some of the worst pain points for current Android develo
