4-5 hours is adequate for many people. Myself being one of them. I don't take any uppers besides coffee and find 4-5 is ideal and 6-7 makes me groggy if I can even accomplish that. Usually after 5 hours of sleep I wake up with no al

This definitely resonates with me a lot. I have been on both sides of the fence with regards to needing to be ripped away from my terminal to go do something else. In addition to just energy and whether or not programming is a good fit for

Hi, My company does 24/7 devops for some clientele. We are a team of 6 for reference. We have been doing this for many years since before "devops" was the term for it. Some of the platforms we have also built for these cli

When we see things like instagram, snapchat, spotify, sound cloud, uber, mobile banking apps, IoT apps, and more becoming native, then this narrative is more interesting. Just with the IoT stuff, and the fact that many of these apps use cam

Agreed. This is one of those areas that most mobile developers are better off with a little less rope to hang themselves. The expression hurry up and wait comes to mind. I would rather have a thread sleeping while it waits for slightly le

One way to think about this that maybe overlaps with the theme of this article, but also stands on its own with specific regard to database modifications is that you often need to have the ability to have multiple versions of everything ali

Cool, makes more sense now. At a high level it would be interesting to make it as durable as possible in situations where say F=2 but you have 30 nodes. As I understand it, in this hypothetical case, the majority of the system would work fi

Thanks, that answers my question. Considering more than one exact txn I imagine will hit a single specific node often, at large scale with a single mode down even if that means 5% of transactions block, you are basically growing a queue of

by spotman 11y ago
It helps but doesn't quite answer my question yet. With your situation #1, what if this is very common transaction and therefore you have 100 of these all waiting. What about 1000, 5000 etc. what system resources are used to let the

> The trade-off is that in the case of failure (node failure or network partitions), operations may block until the failures have been resolved. Curious how this works at scale. For example if a node is down and N requests start blockin

This is one of the most important points in the comments here. In LA opening a restaurant with only 50k is irresponsible mathematically. I say this having taken restaurant management courses with the goal of one day opening one myself. It

Seems like a net positive to notice some attempt that likely has little/less/no malice, that may aid you in preparing to increase your security to be more prepared for when someone that actually has malice does the same thing.

Just want to say, I hear you and in no way am I a fan of the drug war. I should have read more about toxicity levels before commenting. The reason my initial gut felt this way is not due to any documentary or scare tactic it's purely p

This makes me nervous. Ketamine has major issues with bladder damage when taken repetitively. Possibly with a low enough dosage this would be manageable, but speaking from experience from watching people that have been on the wrong end of

This is newer and shinier, and not all use cases overlap, but at the end of the day, yes its someone else managing the execution of your processes. Having worked on GAE in a very large scale, my gut thinks that while this has many different

While I certainly shared your frustration, I do think that MS had some extremely talented folks there. Some of the brightest people I have ever had the pleasure of working with came from MS. Incompetence was far from the problem. Priorities

+1 for occasionally meeting up. My team works remote and while some of us do see each other more frequent, others are on the other side of the country. So about two times per year, once for a tech summit we go to , and another we have our

Curious your opinion on what you would advise if not Martini or Gin? I love martini (and lately gin) and definitely love and use go every day. What about these frameworks is not idiomatic go? Is there another framework that is? Or you sug

I can echo this. Have some go processes that have currently been running for over 6 months.

I would like to understand why the word beggar is not equivalent to the word pan handler.. for some reason my brain is not making the jump here. Is the word bum equally offensive? Is pan handler preferred because it sounds like more skill i

Toyota got a lot of heat over their software implementation surrounding the whole stuck accelerator debacle. They have set the bar pretty low, despite their myriad of experience. Pretty sure a technology company that designs cpu's for

Thanks for explaining. This is a pain point I think everyone that does service oriented architecture has to some level. Most shops I have worked in seem to mostly attack this via procedure. Ie - release is OK'd by QA, then deploy tic

Yeah, i look at os-package dependency management as largely a problem that should be left up to the os' package manager I suppose. So, naturally just like any change, you would want to test the upgrade before rolling to prod. What are

Yeah, i hear you, but I think that its a bit of a silver bullet, to have a 1 click install that gives you all of these things. Just the 3 you mentioned here, privacy, reliability and sustainability are not going to happen if you are doing a

Except database size. Will grow to gigs and gigs and gigs and gigs. Dspam can be very difficult to manage with a 400gb token database when you have a large system. ( last version I used was 3.9 maybe they have improved this?)

Spamassassin is old and outdated. It's like Apache and rspamd is like nginx. Give it a shot.
