Arvel Gentry must be mentioned, he transferred much of the aerodynamics research to sailing with an amazing series of magazine articles. He debunked a lot of faulty theories, like how the slot works, in a meticulous but approachable style.

Don’t the terms of service for nearly all consumer ISPs explicitly prohibit sharing or reselling?

Frequently at design time you don't know enough. This is exactly why SQL is great, it is incredibly flexible, it can also allow you to get in your own way, this is just a feature to help detect that.

This is very useful for batch or cleanup jobs. For example, imagine a system where items are soft-deleted immediately upon user action, but not actually deleted for a few days to facilitate restoration (recycle bin). There is going to be so

This is excellent, especially the diagrams. I'd love to see a explanation of the security implications of each flow. As I understand it the "most secure" flow is OAuth 1.0a (three-legged), but its a total pain so it is mostly avoided. OAuth

You don't have to re-learn puppet/chef/cfengine/bash script every time. You learn it once. It requires much less effort to "maintain" than manually updating more than 1 box.

I want this to work, and be real, but I'm skeptical. I don't know how to change that.

For backend nginx instances (we use nginx to balance application servers, and nginx right in front of Unicorn on those application servers) use the Real IP module to have logs transparently show the original request IP not the load balancer

I have similar troubles with the mobile application when in "low signal" environments. It should decide to swap to local or do a better job buffering, but having 1 bar is not going to sustain a stream.

You are thinking too hard. Just pick one, you can always change later. All of the options you have presented are "Very Good" - they do so many things right. To steal a pithy quote from my co-worker: "Its a balloon squeeze." This decision wi

There could be a revenue stream in here. They're limiting how many free users an application may have, but I would expect they could charge Tweetbot to have more users. Tweetbot could simply build this cost into the software.

Isn't this a "poor man's version" of what cloudflare offers? They even have an optimized version called railgun ( https://www.cloudflare.com/railgun ) that only ships the diff across country.

Next time you are caching a bit list with memcached and running out of space, you may replace that big list with a bloom filter.

I'm a Ruby fan, but "pretty much first on the scene with their gem ecosystem" is patently false. CPAN is much bigger, and much older. http://www.cpan.org/

This is why nginx gzips the body before writing the headers out. You can use 'chunked_transfer_encoding' to enable chunking, combined with 'proxy_buffering off', your backend can stream the body and nginx will gzip the chunks. Disabling buf

In my experience you get an IP returned as an A record for each AZ you have instances in. Inside each AZ traffic is balanced equally across all instances attached to the ELB. The ELB service itself is implemented as a Java server running on

I wish I could upvote this 50 times. The diagrams show two separate masters in different regions with their own slaves, yet DNS is essentially randomly delivering users to each "half". There is no mention of how this is handled, or even tha

You can't just put nodes in different regions, even with a database like MongoDB. It will work in theory, in practice you'll have all kinds of latency problems. WAN replication is a hard problem and glossing over it by waving your hands is

A "full-spec" machine, another X-Large with 4 EBS volumes that I can fail over to. Its in circular replication with the other "active" master (only one is receiving writes at a time). These instances are only snapshotted once a day to keep

I run a master with a "hot" master each in a different AZ and slaves of each in their respective AZs for days like today. Expensive, but makes it easy to sleep at night. The slaves have their EBS disks snapshotted every 30 minutes, the mast

Agreed, start with a known entity. Take the one special table that is killing you and move it to a special database (Riak/Cassandra etc) suited for that task only once you understand exactly what you need.

by WALoeIII 14y ago
Eventual Consistency is a feature, not a limitation of Riak (and friends). It requires you to think about your application different, but it enables things that you could not do before. For example, you can now handle databases in multiple
