By default in HBase, each region is served by a single region server. Writes and reads always go to that regionserver, and are consistent across a single row (HBase is a CP system). In this mode, when a regionserver goes offline its regions

You're right that it doesn't make any sense. The problem is that advertisers don't care about views per se. They care about who is viewing their ads. And almost axiomatically, people who choose to look at ads for money are

Yeah, the docs are definitely an area of Envoy that could be improved. All the information is there, somewhere, but finding what you're looking for can be quite challenging.

I've been casually following rust for ~5 years now, but finally decided to really put in the effort to learn in in the past several months. It's definitely a slog to really "get" the Rust mindset (as well as learn the va

For Rust there's the nom [0] parser combinator library. Very pleasant to use, good support for expressing parse errors, with speed quite close to hand-written parsers. [0] https://github.com/Geal/nom

The ads are there because you're using gmail the service, not because you're using gmail the app. If you use "gmail the app" with your own imap server or a paid google apps account, you will not see ads.

This is also the standard approach in the java world, where it's known as "shading."

Weird pricing. Way more expensive per TB than d2s (existing hard drive instances), and only a bit cheaper than i3s (which have blazing fast NVMe SSDs). Assuming partial-upfront reservations: d2: 41$/month/TB h1: 135$/m

It has a different purpose. Traditional music notation is meant to be read by humans, often very quickly (sight-reading at performance tempo might mean having less than 100ms to read each note). It also has to contain all relevant informati

Yeah, that's definitely an upside of the dapper approach--very, very minimal overhead for non-traced requests. However for the vast majority of use cases a bit of overhead (microseconds per span) tends to be unnoticeable, and the benef

Lightstep is closed source. They have opensource libraries that get data into the system (like the go one you linked to) but to actually use it you need the hosted service. I hope to be releasing an open-source version of that approach in t

I'm disappointed that all of the open-source tracing systems have adopted the Dapper [0] model. It's understandable why: it's extremely simple to implement, as it handles scaling challenges by doing client-side sampling. A bi

The bigger issue is that you need Google's incredible inter-DC networking, which in practice makes partitions very rare. Eric Brewer (author of CAP theorem) lays out here [0] how Spanner relies on those networking guarantees to be effe

There are tools that do this (for example, proguard). The issue is that java can dynamically load code, so static analysis isn't sufficient. Typically for areas where code size matters (like on Android), you use static analysis plus a

This is officially supported in JDK 9. It's part of an ongoing project called "jigsaw" which is introducing modules to the JVM. The first step, shipping in 9, is to modularize the JDK [0]. Already today you can build a custom

The number of machines you need to run a service is not really a linear function of your traffic. If you have a mostly static website that can be heavily cached/cdn'd, you can easily scale to thousands of requests a second with a

For Java, IntelliJ has a built-in version of this called "structural search and replace" [0]. This is incredibly useful when a library changes an API or you need to refactor a lot of similar code. This feels relatively safe in Jav

There are two common mechanisms for invalidating tokens: * Store the invalidated tokens in some fast store, in memory store and check that before accepting tokens. * Have auth tokens be very short lived (e.g., 1 minute) and require the use
