Sorry, this got long... This looks very interesting as a 'simple' communications protocol, and it would be great to have one available for simple multi-master applications. This one is very close, most of the major things are ther

MQTT is really nice for generic pubsub, but from what I've seen doesn't handle RPC-style transactions at all. It is very hard to have something like this without requiring a whole bunch of ephemeral topics or lots of message id tr

No, I get what this addresses... It is really just a wrapper around building a network bridge and having the host do routing / packet forwarding and encapsulation. Nothing a little iptables can't handle :) I wasn't aware that

The overlay networks are not necessarily hacks - just a souped-up, more distributed, auto-configured VPN. Also, especially in flannel's case, you hand it IPv4 address space to use for the whole network, so there is a bit more coordinat

Sorry, I just gotta rant a bit... this is a really bad hack, that I wouldn't trust on a production system. Instead of doubling down and working on better IPv6 support with providers and in software configuration, and defining best prac

Nah, JSON is just another serialization format, with its own tradeoffs when used inside the database. Go ahead and read this article from MS SQL server from 2004, about introducing similar features for XML (binary storage, functional indexe

Huh? I don't see what the big deal is, I think this is standard stuff. I mean, JSON is just another serialization format. All of these operations are already supported for XML in most databases that were around 5-10 years ago, and the

Agreed in general... But, if you DO direct it to this particular post, you can see it is basically shelling out to get its parameters, or looking at /proc/, which you could just as easily do with bash + ssh. So the only benefit to

To exit vim use <ESC> :wq, not just :wq - most of the problem is it getting stuck in insert mode, and not knowing how to escape into normal mode.

by kbaker 12y ago
Sorry, I don't think you are correct. What they are building is not just another phased-array system, and I don't think they are even doing any beamforming at each transmitter at all. Instead, they are looking at a much more diffi

What they have demoed and are building out now is a pretty incredible advance in modern radio systems. So there is healthy room for skepticism. It seems like there would be some major engineering challenges ahead, with predicting localizati

For a Linux distro, definitely check out the Yocto Project which has similar goals. It is quickly taking over the embedded Linux BSP space. In addition to configuring and building the entire OS base image, including cross-compiling, managin

They should at least wait for DANE + DNSSEC, which is a tangible (and free) alternative to the CA system, even though it would still be quite a bit of effort. I'd be curious to know how this would affect local servers in the intranet.
