They solve roughly the same problem. Snowflake is able to create 64-bit unique IDs at the cost of needing a central coordinating service, this format uses 128 bits for IDs which lets them be created independently as long as you have the cor

It would be very interesting to see a comparison of Pulsar or LogDevice on Twitter scale workloads.

I mean just between two endpoints, sorry for being imprecise. So instead of opening X TCP connections to a server to run requests in parallel, you'd use one QUIC connection with multiple streams. Much like HTTP 2 does, but using UDP in

AIUI, the QUIC protocol [1] will be a general-purpose transport protocol built on top of UDP that offers multiple independent streams with encryption. For the application it's like it can open as many TCP connections as it wants, witho

That does sound like magic. If I made the following three commits in order, how would it figure out that the last commit depends on the first commit but not on the second one? + import foo + import bar + foo.hello()

Oh no, not the smaller advertising trackers. This is interesting data but I'm not sure it supports the title - It shows Google's market share in the EU going up a tiny bit, but total tracking goes down in the same period, while th

I do use explicit drop() calls in my own code to call attention to drops with side effects, but it does not seem to be common practice. My preferred semantics would have been early drops by default, and a must_drop annotation similar to mus

I do prefer the "with"/"try-with-resources" approach because it is explicit. With RAII in C++ there's no visual difference between dumb data objects and objects like locks that are created and held on to mainly

The article is a bit misleading, of course you can make a bot that can beat Pokemon, just like you can make bots that can play e.g. World of Warcraft, but you'd end up embedding knowledge of concepts like trainers, shops, battles and p

They're tampering with the expected operation of the browser so that even after the user explicitly told them not to it still sends personally identifiable tracking information to their servers. I'm glad the GDPR is in effect, so

That just makes the lack of proper attribution worse. If you're breaching courtesy and decency it doesn't help your case that the victim is a nice person.

From what I can see this doesn't have built-in consumer balancing and offset storage, like Kafka does. It also lacks more exotic Kafka features like topic compaction and exactly-once processing. In Kafka bulk reading is very cheap, the

The descriptions are nice but unfortunately the sRGB gamut won't do a book like this justice. Hopefully monitors will improve - I'm sure if you got used to a full gamut screen, it would be as hard to go back as it is to go back to

I tried this the other day because Google Stackdriver claims to need third-party cookies enabled, which is an absolute no-go, but it also refuses to work in incognito mode and even the container mode didn't help, IIRC.

It looks like the short notice in this case is not intended to force a timely fix, but to prevent it. They are hoping to cause as much of damage to the company as possible both directly and indirectly through its customers so they can profi
