I think Aerospike has a very similar featureset. It is ACID + NoSQL, replicates nicely across multiple data centers, and definitely has a similar/better latency and throughput profile than FoundationDB.

The US should follow Canada's lead and not tax exercised options until the stock is sold and actually becomes income. http://www.taxplanningguide.ca/tax-planning-guide/section-1-...

Byte Magazine had a history of forward-looking articles for microprocessor and software technology. There were entire issues devoted to LISP in (1979), Smalltalk (1981), and the 68000 (1986). It wasn't that C was new, it wasn't,

You can combine perfect hashing with string compression (Huffman, prefix tries) and de-duplication techniques to vastly improve memory usage for a wide variety of use cases. DiscoDB does this to good effect ( http://discodb.readt

I am going to suggest that 'Structure Packing' isn't the lost art. I think the lost art is 'Variable Sized Structs', the emphasis on the last 's' of 'Structs'. This is the situation where your s

So if you have fixed sized 'ziplists', why don't you do a memmove() instead of a realloc() on inserts, then split your array on overflow? That would be 1 malloc per 1024 inserts assuming 8 byte data in an 8K page instead of

I was hired (a long time ago) to write a language for a Very Large Telco Equipment Supplier in Canada in order to support their automated regression testing effort for their digital telephone switches. It was called, ingeniously enough, &qu

I was thinking the article would be about the incorrect singularization of the word 'data'. It's a curious case. When I hear people say "these data are...", I can't help but think it's pompous. Even tho
