The clerk just meant they didn't know for sure :) I think there's a misunderstanding somewhere because in Japan "do you have X" and "do you not have X" would elicit the same response in the negative case (somet

Do you have a source? It sounds odd to me that storing data for say 2*N users would be a significantly bigger problem than for N.

It's only at creation time. When you lookup the record after that you can use the ID directly, and then you don't hit the locality problems from the article.

You can use the DB for this as well, just make a table e.g. "requests" with two columns, the user and the request token. Old entries can be purged on a cron job. If you add a column to store params as well then you can also do bet

I mean for async assigns specifically. I did something like this in the past and had some troubles with render_click returning the html before the async update completes.

by ramchip 3y ago
Does this work well with tests? For instance, if you click a button in a test, do you need to do something special to ensure the async update has happened before checking assertions on the HTML contents?

Yeah, if we say the three stages are 1) leather (shoe), 2) cotton (sock), 3) cotton + rubber (shoe), then (1) is extinct but (2) and (3) both exist today.

Large GC jobs get scheduled on dirty schedulers today (a background thread pool), since it's not OK to block a normal scheduler more than 1ms or so in Erlang. If they could be split into smaller chunks of work, perhaps it could be done

Your explanation of structural sharing makes sense but there's a lot of nuance there: 1. Elixir strings are Erlang binaries (byte arrays), not charlists. Charlists are becoming rare nowadays even in Erlang because they're so memor

Quorum queues already solve this problem today. They pass a "harsher" fork of Jepsen, according to the RMQ team. Khepri is a newer project that reuses the Raft library developed for quorum queues to store metadata, as a replacemen

Yeah, OP took a shortcut here :) The nuance is that most languages let you build reliable programs _if your code is correct_ - if you're using defers, context handlers, finalizer, cleaning up state in shared data structure, etc. Erlang
