systemd + Docker + Go is basically re-creating Erlang from the ground up, except half broken and not learning from Erlang's 20-30 year history. Now we're training people in the wrong ways to create maintainable distributed syst

Erlang doesn't share data between VM processes (green threads) and each process has its own heap, so you don't need to stop-the-world. Your GC can run concurrently with other live processes while still serving clients. Erlang a

Why can't content industries just accept that the gravy train of yesteryear is over? When you are a 60-70 year old media executive (or a shady cabal of dozens of them, each reinforcing their own viewpoints—sound familiar?) and your l

Yes, exactly true. Some libraries (like innodb) actually checksum all contents in memory to self-detect when corruption is happening. Most applications and libraries trust system memory too much and can read corrupted data at any given ti

All the weirdness from Reddit seems to come from historically mixing the CEO role with the Community Manager role. There should be an entire department only dealing with on-site issues and that department should have absolute authority.

Benchmarks are interesting these days. Software can generally be made "fast enough," but there's no benchmark for maintainability or ease of coding. What good is a Java program being 2x as fast as a Python program if the Jav
