Except that he leaves out vector clocks and read repair which are mechanisms critical to fixing consistency issues in a dynamo style system. Also his treatment of partition tolerance assumes that operations set up the Dynamo cluster machine

The section on why danger failed within MS and the section on dogfooding are mostly true in my experience, having worked for an acquired company for almost a year now within MS. There is an unnatural compulsion within the company to expel

Judy arrays are really great. I have a local cache implementation in erlang which uses them: http://github.com/cliffmoon/cherly Even with a small number of items they are relatively fast, however they do not really start outperforming or

It's just an interesting data point really. Although if you have no genuine interest in functional programming then you'd better really like booze.

This is our first meetup. If you like functional programming and booze then you should definitely attend. We will choose a venue after getting a rough estimate of how many people are attending. Thanks.

Those papers reference a collision attack, which is not the same thing as the point of this contest. The papers describe ways to generate pairs of messages that will hash to the same value. The contest describes a preimage attack, where on

Mine is here: http://www.erlang-factory.com/conference/SFBayAreaErlangFact... . If you're interested in distributed databases I talk about the one I did in Erlang.

When you talk about that amount of data, you'll have to make some decisions about handling disk failures. At that scale they will happen as a matter of course. There are a number of different distributed databases out there and some of th

Not sold on the performance increases. Facebook was able to get 200k req/s out memcache just by reworking the code. http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=39391378919 . Compared to the claimed 300k req/s for this I don't really see a

Please try to pay closer attention. That was my conclusion after reading what he said. He claims good Ruby code would have helped Twitter. My experience and apparently the experience of Alex and his team prove otherwise. And as for Kestr

Sorry, but I have to dismiss this as Obie protecting his economic interests as an owner of a Rails consultancy. I can only guess that he sees negative Ruby coverage like this as a threat to new Ruby development, and thus the future of his

Is this guy a conspiracy nut? He goes off the deep end in that last paragraph, and his whole blog is rife with 9/11 inside job rhetoric and new world order nuttery. He uses the phrase "conspiracy factualist" in another post. Please lets

One of the things to realize about Microsoft is that it really is not a cohesive entity. It's like a bunch of different companies stuffed under the same name with a minimum of common shared business infrastructure. So it's entirely plausi

It's standalone. Nginx really shines as a reverse proxy, but it has an fcgi module that can be used to do that as well.

Gödel might have said something about the possibility of a universal inference engine. Like TrueKnowledge and the Freebase answers in Powerset, this system will likely be good at answering a small subset of very direct questions. Having ac
