I fly quite a bit. I signed up for TSA pre. It typically takes me about 5m to get through a security lane and usually involves a walk through a metal detector. Shoes on; laptop in bag; no need to remove toiletries. It is a fast, efficient

I'm the dir. of eng. for the team building flux. Before that, I built a transactional SQL system (during peak NoSQL hype). I like SQL. After a year+ of watching people use InfluxQL and thinking about the types of user experiences that

A situation that doesn't include the "supposedly" qualification you make. A single anonymous source on a non-911 number without corroborating reports of gunfire is not sufficient cause to shoot a man on his porch. Here's

Stonebraker is quite down to earth to work with - he cares about practical ideas and systems that can be plausibly constructed. You can decide if one of the primary collaborators of Ingres, Postgres, Streambase, Vertica, VoltDB, Tamr... is

I work at VoltDB (based on the original h-store concepts) - if anyone has questions or ideas about "anti-caching", feel free to ping me.

As mentioned in my reply to that forum post, VoltDB includes a fault resolution protocol to prevent split brain (VoltDB will trade availability for consistency if required.) a couple of years ago, we decided to to enable that feature by def

Real world example I hit a few weeks ago: I implemented a DB driver that had its own Next() method. Later I wanted to implement the SQL package interface. That interface contains Next() ( http://golang.org/src/database&#

An XML document is mixed content in the sense that it can be validated, signed, partially encrypted (perhaps by multiple actors), can be wrapped by a header, and augmented for application level routing. [edit: where each of these actions ma

One also sees the common advice to include the paired header (ie, foo.c should include foo.h) as the first #include to verify that foo.h is dependency-complete. The problem with dependency-complete headers is that once a .c file relies on t
