I would argue with the assertion that he doesn't look at other products when evaluating Facebook. Its clear they've been copying from Twitter and FriendFeed for years, so I don't know where the Boz is getting that from.

The attack isn't using brute force. The defense is against rainbow tables, not brute force.

I haven't used it for a production app, but I will say that it kicks AIR's ass with regards to CPU and memory usage. Titanium has way lower resource utilization for the same app as compared to Adobe AIR.

Also, Cassandra is a Dynamo clone? Someone should tell them that...

Well, this guy works at Facebook on Hive. If there's no hope for him, how much hope do the rest of us have ;-)

The speed serves only to gain an informational advantage. That's what the speed is for.

It is this kind of ad-hominem attack that turns great conversation forums into immature wastelands. Let's not allow that to happen here.

The problem with your assessment is that it proves Don's point in the article. The B trader will reveal his inside information much more rapidly than if he were not able to act on it, thus increasing the amount of information available to t

There is a technical term for this phenomenon: an Akerlof market. Where there is a large information asymmetry in favor of the sellers, the price of items in said market is driven down since buyers will not pay the sellers' requested prices

This is already the case and happens all day every day, although it goes by the name "high-frequency trading". The information that HFT systems trade on is "concealed" via the latency differences between multiple systems interacting with a

For Windows, there definitive source in book form is the Microsoft Windows Internals series. I worked with a guy that used to work at Microsoft and he prefered this book to looking things up in the source code ;-) http://www.amazon.com/Win

IMHE, all AIR apps "leak" over time (meaning, absorb more and more RSS as time goes on). This is regardless of whether they were written with Flash/Flex or HTML/JavaScript or a combination. I wrote a really small AIR app (one pane with some

qmail itself is completely unmaintained and patches to it are actually rejected. net-qmail and others have sprung up to fill this void, but its got nowhere near the community surrounding it that Postfix does. Plus, qmail is very hard to use

These chips are usually dirt cheap. I bet the radios cost more. Also, the iPhone already has significant retail price margin built in, so I doubt it would hurt them much.

I know Winer's a great figure in the history of the Web, but this might be the most incoherent post I've seen this year. It made no sense to me, in that the history lesson has nothing to do with the problem at hand, if indeed it is a proble

Did no one else notice that this paper was authored by the C-Store guys, the ones that went on to create and found Vertica (specifically Stonebraker)? They have an intense bias against map/reduce, as could be expected. As well, one importan

This report is kind of obvious. Those of us using AWS and others knew about this a long time ago. Its pretty simple math to be able to see when your cloud will cost more than DIY.

Pure marketing bullshit. M/R vs. SQL is a crazy comparison since you use them in two different spots. The paper's authors all have a financial or egotistical stake in Vertica and they fail to mention that any real DW effort is dominated by

This paper is just a thinly-veiled sales pitch for Vertica. All of the C-Store players are on it. Stonebraker has officially jumped the shark.

I'm confused: given the quota problems and serious constraints of the real App Engine, why would I want a clone of it that I also have to maintain and manage myself? Isn't the value-add here that I get SysOps and all that for free with GAE?

No, because, theoretically, anyone could and several will.

Dave is off-base here. The Twitter API is designed well for what Twitter does. His beef is against core Twitter features, not their API.

The point of the data structure in this case was not the radix trie alone but rather the combination of the use of tries in concert with the aggregation characteristics of IP traffic. This type of innovative combination is common in the net
