Can you summarize it in a few sentences? It sounds like you've got interesting tech under the hood.

So how does the data storage part work? I literally browsed for ten minutes unable to see how the thing stores the data you give it.

globbing expression expand to all the files that match. if a directory has 1.txt, 2.txt, and 3.txt then << rm * >> expands to "rm 1.txt 2.txt 3.txt" and is then executed. if you have -@, 1.txt, 2.txt, and 3.txt, that

It's a good database in its own right. Use a write-ahead log, and you can get one writer and as many readers as your local disk can support. The common thinking is that it's more of a replacement for fopen than it is for Oracle.

This is pretty cool! Interestingly, once SQLite 4 comes out you'd probably implement this the opposite way, using Raft consensus (and something like etcd) for block storage, and using the SQL engine over arbitrary pluggable block stora

Beyond the costs of the dates, Boston has helped with other expenses: an Ikea bed I'm currently tickled pink at the idea of someone having enough money to put themselves together in the morning but not for a <$200 bed+mattress

Recently, he and a grad student at Stanford came up with the most exciting consensus protocol people have seen in a decade or more, Raft.

"After encryption it is gzipped" is a red flag. After encryption it should be noise, why try to compress it?

How did this compare against Hash Array Mapped Tries? It looks like the amount of nodes that you'd need to change would be smaller, and updates are less dramatic. (They're common in functional programming for persistent data struc

If you can move to SF, for a little while at least, you'll find a white-hot job market, especially in security, and background checks aren't so big here. (Was this responsible disclosure, tho?) Email me if you can move to the Bay

It's also unclear how many rows they're trying to do this on, and at what frequencies; that's the crux of what turns this from a small-to-medium-data problem, which you can easily solve on a large box with 10 lines of code, t

How do you deal with propagating events through the system? If I'm clicking Follow as people are following and unfollowing, how does that number change?

No, but mergesort can easily fall back to dumping its sorted contents to disk, for later merging; this disk-based merge sort was invented by van Neumann in the 1940s, and is how the unix utility sort works (dozen-way merge of sorted shards

Yes, in financial transactions the standard is to use the credible approach instead of the expedient approach.

There's a good Google Books dataset for doing exactly that, and you can doing something in Hive to get you the lowest-entropy n-grams (with something like https://github.com/lsb/text-entropy/blob/master&#

This is major news! We've been trying to have untrusted parties perform computations on sensitive data for a while: if you can encrypt your data, and map-reduce it on untrusted machines but non-malicious machines, and come out with res
