The major selling point of Microsoft Azure for me is that RDMA over Infiniband is supported on select machine types. This type of networking technology is necessarily for important classes of applications (HPC) as well as for new types of i

At IBM Almaden in San Jose it seems like just about everyone walks all the way around the campus (~20 minutes) everyday after lunch. Apparently that is a thing that's been going on there for a very long time. After I left Almaden I wen

This article really rings true for me. I've found that I'm far more happy and productive when I'm not multitasking. One thing that I've found particularly challenging is dealing with text messages from significant others

Is this different from Anki ( http://ankisrs.net/ )? I believe Anki supports a web interface, in addition to desktop and mobile apps.

I've never used Datomic, so maybe this should have been written as: > which means they _could_ optimize in a variety of domain specific ways.

I think the MVCC features in Minuet are applicable in instances where immutability can be used as an optimization, such as Datomic. However, Datomic has a very specific data model and set of use cases which means they likely optimize in a v

CephFS (which is a distributed file system) is orthogonal to XFS or BTRFS which are local file systems. Since Gluster is providing a file system solution at this point, that may be the reason for the de-emphasis. However, Gluster is not a p

Gaia will produce quite a lot of data, approximately 200 TB over 5 years, according to this Wikipedia article ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_(spacecraft) ), however that feels a bit hand-wavy. Even if we assume an o

I think this article is (doing a bad job of) attempting to explain that limitations behind the current byte-stream oriented interfaces and hierarchical organizations that have been around for 20 years. These two limitations show their heads
