I had a friend who went back to grad school in the late 90s. She decided to become a teacher and got into teachers college at Columbia. Within a month, her English literature degree got her focusing on teaching English to grade school, and

Guavas are quite commonly eaten raw here in Brazil. Maybe you haven't let them ripen? Anyway as an amusing side note, as I understand itbin the Northeast of Brazil "marmelada" is idiomatically used to express that the speaker

Is no-one else running into FastLeaderElectionFailed? When you have a system that writes a lot of offset/transaction info to zookeeper you can push the zxid 32-bit counter to rollover in a matter of days. When this happens it can brin

At a prior job we had our data centers in the building in that neighborhood. Because it had grown up with the computers down the hall and then down the elevator it was hard to sell upper management on moving to a real data center. What fina

I don't understand from your comment how you think using a tablet or any kind of programmatic system replaces teacher student interactions for personal development - that is, kids being kids with adults, and learning from it.

Not OP, but over 24 years some major db upgrades may as well be an entirely new db. In addition database vendors go out of business and when their assets are bought, the buyer is often buying customer base and not so much the obligation to

Or the bet is more subtle, that buyers are willing to eat the risk in exchange for higher perf, letting Intel still hold the title of higher performing chip and market that.

I can only find Intel laptops on their site. AMD only seems to be available in their desktops. The laptop, mini, and server lineups only have Intel CPUs.

Dlopen allows for dynamic linking of symbols e.g. based on user input or local circumstances (cpu capabilities, type of db being connected to opens a different set of libs for different versions etc.). You could provide hints for these circ

For the things that change frequently, guardrails can be built (extra testing, extra safety). But over time most configuration ends up stable, with the changes not being wild-wested, in my experience.

It's the latter. You import protobuf specs (compiled into golang). You build a runtime that imports the specs and they're available in the python interpreter.

There is a text format, but you can serialize YAML into protobufs. The benefit with protobufs is that by defining them you are specifying types and sub-messages etc. so when you assemble disparate pieces you get type checking at various lev

Is something typed and better structured (e.g. protobufs) an option?
258.
by simtel20 8y ago
True, but once you get it right once, it's really easy to generate the correct yaml over and over again because the input is not unknown random data.

Have you looked at the work being done by stripe on skycfg? https://github.com/stripe/skycfg has the advantage of preserving protobuf message types as they're passed, so you get type checking.

Weitse, the author of 2 of those tools, is the only systems person at his university who I'm aware of who has done a lot of tooling. Allman, author of sendmail, was not a sysadmin by any stretch of the imagination. IIRC he was a grad s

Thanks for pointing that out. It's exhausting reading people in this thread getting very excited and demonstrative about the fact that a flexible system like salt provides a way to do this that results in a serialized data stream. The

My understanding is that it's a complete rewrite, perhaps more than once at this point.

Agreed. I replaced mine when I found out it couldn't be put behind a router fronting 2 pppoe connections. Somehow it broke pmtu-d trying to send data to Google (config backup? Who knows), and caused meltdowns constantly because of it.

The espro is still a French press and the coffee or produces still comes out more bitter than what is produced in an aeropress. I'll be damned if I know why. I switched from an espro to an aeropress a few years ago because even though
