Serious question: what's the advantage of something like this over eBPF? As I understand it, you can generate eBPF bytecode from C and Linux already has a JIT compiler for it.

Without knowing exactly how reads and writes are replicated, I am skeptical. I have gone through the technical documentation and haven't found many details. For reference, I've done work in storage and consensus algorithms and I c

These are partial node failures not network partitions.

As best as I could find, FoundationDB doesn't provide strict serializability (i.e. linearizability + serializability) and doesn't tackle multi-DC deployments. So I wouldn't put it in the same class as FaunaDB or Spanner.

The death of reader wasn't as bad as this for me. Soon after reader died, alternatives popped up left and right, and some of them are better than reader ever was. What alternative is there to gmail/inbox? Unlike an RSS reader, I t

I believe that all of Intel's mobile networking products were purchased from infineon. So it wouldn't be surprising if they used ARM until now given that it takes time for these things to change. They even manufactured these chips

Does that include libstdc++ or just libgcc? In any case, I guess you could always use libc++ instead.

How are cars drive by wire? Sure, newer cars have electric power steering, but I would guess that 99% of cars older than 10 years use hydraulic power steering and brakes. Even then, it takes very little software to do electric power steerin

There used to be a lot of low-hanging fruit. Now bigger GC and compiler changes are probably necessary to get noticeable wins. The compiler still lacks mid-stack inlining and de-virtualization which would probably give a noticeable performa

It is sounds like the author is more fed up with the Java ecosystem rather than Java itself.

Kubernetes has more or less invented their own type system. I agree that much of it is horrible to deal with, but I don't know how you could easily express it in any language. Of course someone could always prove me wrong by doing just

I suspect that the Xeon processors are running at a lower frequency under load compared to the EPYC ones. That's just a hunch though.

While Kryo used to be fully custom, lately it's been based off of the Cortex designs. I'm not just talking about the low end SoCs, but even their high end stuff. Anandtech usually has details on this.

While Google's business model certainly relies on collecting and monetizing user data, I have yet to see any cases of abuse on their part. Rules for employee data access are very strict and I don't know of any cases whee they dire

Completely agree on this point.

One thing that I think is being missed is that code/a product is not the only thing that matters. In fact, it's one of the less important things here. Once a design is set, implementing it is "just work". I'm not su

I think that the CP/AP dichotomy is a good example of how we treat fundamental, but not hard tradeoffs as hard. E.g. often we have a fundamental tradeoff between latency and throughput, and it's impossible to get 100% in both metr

The jist of the argument is that no DB gives 100% availability. That makes no sense. What if my client can't talk to anything? I'd still have to return a value. So instead we talk about high availability. All sorts of things cause

I saw it more of being that he doesn't want to impose a particular style of governance after removing himself from the project. The remaining devs should run it however they see fit.

Maybe what the OP was getting at is that before a topic is presented, it needs to be contextualized. For a single presentation, you do this by presenting some motivation and the surrounding space before diving in. For courses, the best I&#x

Don't forget about crossing language boundaries. Using JNI can be slower than pure Java code, and I think the same is true for wasm-js interop [1]. When wasm gets "native" access to the DOM and other browser features this may

For state heavy applications, you want graceful restart even if you can tolerate hard failures.

A lot of this seems similar to what plan 9's acme editor provides. You can run shell commands anywhere and their output is written to a new window. You can also run an interactive shell in a window and edit the text directly. I have be

I don't know much about wasm, but I imagine that most wasm binaries will be statically linked. The runtime does add overhead but I'd like to know how much compared to what you see with reasonably complex rust wasm code.

Hopefully this can actually decrease overhead. Go's garbage collector has some short STW pauses that require stopping the world. It you have one thread misbehaving by running a tight loop right now, the rest of the threads will sit the

Common wisdom isn't necessarily followed. I've see many people cross the street blind especially on college campuses. Worse, where I currently live (Ann Arbor) I have seen people do this when they very clearly do not have the righ
