All of these solutions are still battling the fact that distributed systems are hard and there's a tradeoff to every decision. If you use synchronous replication, you now require at least two systems to commit a write, so you've

I'm saying read replicas are not instantly in sync with their masters. Updates are asynchronously copied to the replica.

A replica always lags master by some degree. It may be small—until things go sideways—but it's still another form of eventual consistency.

I've been keen to investigate Peter Alvaro's work around fault injection . He's been working on that with Netflix[1]. The tl;dr is that you analyze successful system outcomes and inject failures along those paths to see i

Yes, it does. But just because your storage layer is abstracted behind an API doesn't mean eventual consistency isn't your concern. Take S3 for example. LIST calls lag deletes but exists() doesn't, so exists() could return 40

That's... still a distributed system with all the joys of eventual consistency.

Cunard. Prices aren't as too terrible, basic rooms are ~£1000 per person one-way.

Java definitely does not require an app server. I'd also submit that few concurrency libraries are as battle-hardened as java.util.concurrent.* at this point.

Krabi and its nearby beaches/islands (other than Ao Nang) are far, far better than Phuket. Plus the food in Krabi is fantastic.

Well, they're selling a product aimed at frequent travelers. Airports are a safe bet for that market. ;)

Amex also includes Delta, if you're on a Delta flight.

If the rumor about an Amex lounge in Denver is true I'll drop Chase in a heartbeat.

Perks. More points, lounge access, concierge programs, insurance.

by saryant 10y ago
I suppose it depends on your definition of "silly" but perks like Amex's Centurion lounges, their concierge program, hotel privileges and (of course) points all outweigh the annual fee for me.

The Sapphire Reserve is a Visa credit card issued by Chase. It's not a new card network.

They already did that for the Everyday Preferred.

At a resort, I expect you're right. But in an urban setting? What is there to spend money on at the hotel that isn't better off-property? Especially at Hilton properties where anyone with enough points for a redemption at least

Well, yeah. It's the Maldives. I've used points for five-night stays at the Conrads in Seoul and Tokyo without having a single dime on my invoice at checkout.

git pull doesn't take just a few a seconds on huge repos. Pulling down a ~day's worth of changes takes several minutes in ours.

We've had a Kafka system in production for maybe 7 years that deals with this problem. With our use case, we can have unpredictable spikes in volume—which we must consume. Those spikes can be an order of magnitude larger than our ba

This is really old at this point. IIRC it's for Scala 2.9, so there's stuff that's since deprecated (view bounds) and features it doesn't cover (implicit classes).
