   Yup, this approach of using mostly similar numbers to the victim’s phone number is the new hotness in robo-calls. NPR had a piece on it last year - https://www.npr.org/templates/transcript/transcript.php?stor...

   For some other, newer approaches to improving paxos performance, especially in high or variable latency environments, folks may be interested in epaxos ( http://delivery.acm.org/10.1145/2520000/2517350/p358-mor

   Yeah, but CRDB’s logo is pretty stylized and simple/clean. The hand drawn style for the gopher just didn’t work for a lot of applications. It was too detailed to use as an icon, and the lines were too thin to look good when printed.

   I know folks love the gopher, but I’m a fan of this to be honest. The hand drawn gopher just looked... childish? It definitely didn’t give me the impression of an efficient and well put together programming language.

   I’m at one of the big 5, so everything goes through code review now, but since we’re a small team, we do monitoring ourselves, and as a result we have a lot of ways to bypass the process in case we need to get a high priority hot fix out. W

   Lordy, relational databases are not the way to go for that problem... With a single shared resource (document), you're going to be encountering write conflicts left and right. Have you explored implementing a CRDT based solution like

   7-8 seconds? Something definitely sounds misconfigured. I've been running a 1.1.x cluster for quite a while and I've never seen a single row transaction take that long. And even the slowest queries took at most ~500ms, and that

    Site is down... that doesn’t exactly bode well for an article seemingly about programming.

    Java also has a very different development structure. It's owned and build by Oracle (RIP Sun), who get final say in everything added to the language. This additional red tape, and a smaller dev team working on both bug fixes and new

    It wouldn’t surprise me if they were dummy or dramatically simplified graphics just to make people more comfortable. Planet Money had a show on this topic a few years back - https://www.npr.org/templates/transcript&#x2

    Golly gee, I can barely hear you all the way up there on your pedestal. I used linux for a good long while. Started with Ubuntu, then on to Mint, then Arch as I became more of a "power user". But you know what? Sometimes I don&

    No real benefits that I’m aware of, and until Google starts to care about privacy more I wouldn’t expect them to invest in developing a secure coprocessor like the Secure Enclave, so you’ll probably be limited to 3rd party alternatives such

    This is really exciting to me. I know a lot of folks will probably see this as an old company trying to catch a ride on the cryptocurrency hype train, but to me this has always been the dream of cryptocurrency; a new class of technology to

    Cool to look at the original work on this from 1988, and see just how little it's changed in the nearly 3 decades since. Go for instance makes use of Duff's devices generated for each architecture in its core runtime. You can see

    I think the term they meant to use was “idempotent”, but that doesn’t get attention the same way that claiming to violate the FLP result does.

    My favorite question to ask is one I've iteratively improved on over the last 5 years or so. To start, I always phrase the question as a real world example - "I have a server, and we currently have some functionality X. I want to
