It's unfortunate that linux.org was hacked, but I haven't seen a website like that since the early 2000s.

I personally think the people working on things like database and filesystem performance are doing really cool work. Any time you're taking conference papers and turning it into code to solve a particularly hairy problem... that's

Interesting point. Can you elaborate a bit on what you'd expect from a manager to help that person succeed? Is it mostly case-specific?

Can you explain what's wrong with Rook? I thought it was supposed to make life easier when running Ceph.

Can you elaborate on #3 a bit? I'm not sure what you mean and m really curious. I've always gotten the vibe that the SRE recruiters were not giving me an honest view of the realities of that job.

I'd be curious to see how the proportion of students hired into Google or FB from Howard compares to a normal school (not Stanford or MIT) with a CS program. Out of 30 students in the senior class, only 1 or 2 were hired on full time,

It's expensive to pull data out of their cloud partly because it makes switching providers or moving on-premise less appealing. It's a trap.

It looks like he's still a student, so this is just the type of learning experience that breaks those bad habits. Hopefully his methodology will be a bit more refined after all this.

The LogLog and HyperLogLog algorithms are a probabilistic way to calculate the approximate cardinality, or distinct elements, in some set using a small amount of memory. I think it’s pretty awesome because it still works even if there are d

Right, but I think they mean for that particular cause of false negatives quoted (counter overflow). There's no good way I can think of to mitigate the false negatives caused by removing items never inserted into the filter since you h

That's actually a good solution for the problem I had with the false negatives. I'm glad other folks figured that out.

The types of people that would want this can already do it with their smart phones. What's gained by crippling a device to only support certain classes of apps?

Seriously though, it's probably time to separate Computer Science and Software Engineering into different routes of study.
