When building reliable systems, you expose them to simulations of as many failures as is economical. It's not clear how many failures the pilot dealt with in those 5000 hours. Proper simulation teases out faults in handling failures

Like everything else, it's a tradeoff. Knowledge about certain market topologies actually can constitute a tremendous advantage, although NDA's are employed far more than is actually necessary.

The two things that matter are performance and reliability. Are you able to go into how lattice improves over either Mesos or k8s in these regards?

Aye. Timeouts cannot save you from the recursive ack problem. I believe the parent is thinking of the fact that FLP applies only in an "asynchronous" system in which messages may take infinite time to arrive, and without regard t

Erlang and OTP in action is my favorite, as it cuts to the parts that I as a distributed systems engineer really wanted to learn. http://learnyousomeerlang.com/ is one of the most commonly recommended guides/books.

Writing widely-deployed infrastructure (web browsers, networking stacks, device drivers, openssl libraries) in C will be less and less justifiable over time. Rust is far from optimized right now. Rust is probably not going to be a languag

"Good" is inherently normative. Nothing can be "good" exterior to a normative claim. This is in contrast with "positive" statements, which are true regardless of anything happening to perceive them that way o

Things cannot be evil in and of themselves. It takes sentient intention that you judge to be so for it to be (to you).

Interesting, I always thought that google using it for TrueTime was a strange use-case, but I guess it was the original use-case!

Hopefully with FB investing in this idea, it will spur more conversation that will lead to comparisons with and interest in Persona.

What's the current state of parallel execution with OCaml? Historically, I've been attracted to the type system and I think it's generally one of the most beautiful languages out there, but I build things that need to take a

There is an awesome book called "Functional Programming in Scala" that has a lot of great questions to work along to, and is great for somebody interested in both Haskell and Scala but doesn't assume prior experience with thi

I'd be pretty nervous about any attempt to recreate Finagle in Go. Scala provides many ways of creating composable complexity. Finagle leverages pretty much every feature of Scala (and there are many) to maximize this composability i

I'm not saying that a Goroutine is a thread. My point was, you have the ability to write your own systems for your own tradeoffs. Feel free to write a schedulerless coroutine system or an Erlangesque reduction counting scheduler, or
