   If you want type safety, you need to parse your JSON into a java class (although "days" is definitely an exaggeration with the right tools—I'm a fan of json-schemas and jsonschema2pojo [0]). But of course you don't get t

   Nice to see some old-time Twilians in here. Stashboard is great, although I appreciate the hostedness of statusboard.io. When things are breaking, the last thing you want to be debugging is your status board.

   That study was retracted by the author, who now deeply regrets it. See here: http://retractionwatch.com/2014/07/18/the-camel-doesnt-have-... .

    I wrote something similar, called Slinky [0], which also transparently compiles various compiled web langauges (SASS, HAML, CoffeeScript, TypeScript, etc.). The issue with these systems is that they lie in between something like Python&#x27

    I agree, in principle. The issue is that as the number of dependencies (and, in particular, transitive dependencies) grows, fat jars become less and less wieldy. Our uberjars are in the 150-200MB range, which means they take up a lot of spa

    I'm referring to the issue in this thread [0]. I haven't seen any issues with how capsule (or rather, the maven caplet) does dependency resolution; it's that you don't have much control over transitive dependencies. This

    I've spent some time in the past few weeks trying to rebuild a bunch of uberjars as capsules, and have found it not suitable for production server use. The main promise for me is that rather than shipping 100M+ uberjars, we can ship ju

    Of course; Amazon prefers launching dozens of new products every year to fixing or improving their existing services.

    It's as much holographic as the Oculus (or other head-tracked HMDs), and the missing depth cue (accommodation) doesn't seem very important in practice. See here [0] for a good discussion on what is and is not holographic, in the c

    That's the per-instance price, so multiply it by the number of nodes you need. We use about a dozen, so the difference for us would be around $7000/month.

    Hahaha... that's not how AWS works (unless you pay them hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars a month). Amazon is terrifically unresponsive even for medium-to-large clients.

    Seems very expensive compared to just running ES on instances yourself. Using i2.xlarges (as we do for our ES cluster) it's $1.194/hour for managed ES and just $0.853/hour for spot i2 instances. If you're will to reserve

    Yeah, I build http://hnhiring.me well before the API via scraping. I looked into moving over after it was released but found it completely impractical for this sort of thing. Hopefully it'll be improved at some point, espec

    I've been pretty happy with OpenTSDB (a TSD built on top of HBase). It happily ingests tens of thousands of points per second, supports full-resolution historical data, and has reasonably fast queries. The main downside is HBase is ope

    I'd strongly recommend reading the Borg paper ( http://research.google.com/pubs/pub43438.html ). It outlines in clear and persuasive detail why Google started using containers. Their reasons may or may not be convin

    Non-distributed databases (like postgres) are sometimes considered to be CA. But I think it's clear that CA doesn't make sense in a distributed system.
