2PB per rack sounds about right for a very tightly packed rack. Most DC's can't supply power and cooling for that kind of density, though.

Now that's an interesting comment, thanks for that. I'll probably come across as arrogant now (sorry), but your critique of ES sounds almost ironic to me. It's especially curious as you do claim experience with SOLR. Have y

So we can write configs in JSON and get a 'free batteries included' web management console for monitoring queue lengths? Yes. Exactly that. Postfix requires the user to understand pretty much all of its delicate (and often very

No. Just no. The architecture is, at best, an anachronism. Designs of much more elegance have been explored (qmail). But as a matter of fact, neither postfix, nor qmail, nor exim, nor (god forbid) sendmail belong into our day and age anymor

Or are you suggesting every browser will contact many of its personal web-of-trust sources on every secure-connection? For Hacker News? No. For my bank? Yes, absolutely. The implementation of a fast and scalable lookup is not exactly roc

As said it should be pluggable. Yes you will still need seed fingerprints for a few independent plugins (like the CA list of today), and you still need to trust or vet the browser itself (also like today). The point is that once this seed t

What an odd idea. Then again, they send stuff into space. Who am I to judge.

Muscled? I mean... not to rain on anyone's parade. Perhaps someone just came to their senses? 19 billion dollars, for a messenger app, is more than just a little bit ridiculous. It's the kind of ridiculous that will be a runner-u

I love that infinitely nerdy stuff like this can still make it to the HN homepage (there's still hope!). Stuff like this really needs to make it into the PG tuning guide ( https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Tuning_You

Yes. And according to the laws of physics, a bumblebee can't fly. It's just - the bumblebee doesn't know that.

then I don't see any easy ways of checking if all those coins are still valid. Every client holds a copy of the blockchain, that is the full transaction history of the bitcoin network. Consequently it's not just easy to check th

Yes, and the thief in the night will use rubber hose cryptography on you. Yes, that's not absurd at all. These blockchain-monitoring, bitcoin-wallet correlating cyber-thieves with their rubberhoses are a real plague. It's just s

Wow, there's some hostility there. Yes. I haven't interacted with the bundler team but I did try to contribute to rubygems during their security debacle. I hope these are not the same people. but I've yet to come up with a

so it resorts to a conservative-and-expensive search mechanism in order to preserve those semantics. Sorry but come on, these apologisms are part of the reason why these things never get fixed. Ruby 1.8 went end-of-life two years ago . A

I'm not sure why you think you speak for "the bitcoin community" here. My answer is much simpler: #3 It will be fixed. And I know I'm not alone with that answer.

This seems a rather odd implementation detail to burden the user with. Why don't you just use a hash of the filename for the partition key, so all files are distributed randomly regardless of their name? Is there an advantage for amazo

Most companies also simply don't have redis-type data problems that can't be solved by throwing a pair of 768G ($40k) or 2TB servers ($120k) at them. When that option is available it tends to beat complex software solutions in eve

Use a passphrase with punctation. Throw in a deliberate tpyo or weird capitaliZation for good measure. Easy to remember and easy to type.

None of the reasons why many traditional databases have multi-tenancy support was ever relevant for redis. And in a world that increasingly moves to containerization you should really look into adding automation to your admin workflow (e.g.
