Have you tried shooting a node in the head and seeing what happens? Always a good exercise to run. Run a few disaster recovery exercises and see if you can get it back. I recommend doing that on non-production of course!

Don't get me started on setting up production hdfs and hadoop that is a nightmare. It is comparatively well documented with lots of people running it! As soon as you get into the weeds with kerberos and HA mode forget about the documen

Twice the price was an exaggeration. However, as some one driving a XPS 13 dev edition (the original) right now they are definitely not priced as "cheap" notebooks. Someone has to write the drivers (or source components with good

Well, I am the primary user of my command line applications as they are for my research. As the primary user they better be, 1. Easy to use 2. Have standardized syntax for flags across languages 3. Be easy to maintain 4. Be well documented

If you want to write command line apps that conform to the GNU flags convention you can't use the "flag" library. I wrote my own simple getopt implementation (github.com/timtadh/getopt) years ago so I could just get

Probably not the best idea to just tack the token onto the URL. There is a reason that people are not generally using tokens on URLs in lieu of cookies for session tokens. A better idea is to add a parameter in the POST body. This means tha

Thanks everyone for your feedback. I improved the post to discuss limitations of embedding and some workarounds.

Good point and definitely an annoying limitation. The work around is to use an interface as the expected type as I do in the lexing example. I should have included a section on the limitations of embedding. This is what happens when I don&#

Author Here: Good point. I had forgotten that the effective go document had a section on it. I will add the link. My main point is that Go embedding can be used as a form of subclassing allowing types to share, code, data or both.

@dang: Can we point this to the source article: https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/42320.html ? "Circumventing Ubuntu Snap confinement" It is much better than the zdnet blog spam.

I think it is great that Jean (and Philip) both wrote these up. But, to be honest it 100% depresses me to read them. Graduate school has not been easy for me and I had no first author paper submissions for 5 years and ended up having to bei

Most databases do have a way to force the index. See for example the MySQL way of doing it: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/index-hints.html . You probably already know this but I mention it in c

That is great explanation from Linus. Thanks for linking it. He uses AFS (Andrew File System) as an example in that post which I think would be very analogous to ZFS. Linus says > Historically, there's been things like the origi

git diff --word-diff=color provides a really nice word diff with coloring similar to this project. Just setup an alias in your global gitconfig: [alias] cdiff = diff --word-diff=color

This tracks well with a report I heard this week on declining mean salaries in the federal government versus industry. As the government pays less, has declining pensions, and is under constant threat of "shutdown" it isn't s

Another thread could 1) write to the same key. 2) cause a table expansion (or a shrink) which rehashes the whole table (in most implementations). Either case will cause a difficult to diagnose bug. Use a lock or communicate with channels in

While I do not agree with everything in this article, indeed some of its claims are suspect, I think it raises important points. There is a dynamic interplay between "science", the act of discovery, and "technology" putt

Just buy the paperback or get it from the library. Actual books are great and have no ethical concerns unlike the ones the FSF has raised on e-books. Kindles are cool technology but a paper back is still better for actually reading. Librari

Depends on the institution. I understand that higher tier research universities have a better graduate student ratio for domestic/non-domestic. My institution seems closer to 90% non-domestic for EECS PhD students.

I cannot upvote this enough. Go's dependency management is horrible. The fact that I have to encode my current github account to make things `go get`able is crazy! When projects move accounts or hosts it breaks everything. Not to menti

I wish facebook had not used "GraphQL" as their name for their SOAP/REST/RPC replacement. When I hear GraphQL I think of a query language for graphs. Like in (for instance) http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?
