I had the chance to work with Armon as a contractor at HashiCorp when I was in college. Armon was absolutely one of the most down-to-earth leaders I've ever seen. Even though he was technically brilliant and I was only an undergrad,

I think your advice is great for tech leads at big companies, but for tech leads at startups, I have to disagree with the point about "Work for your product - not your company." At a startup, the business objective has to come fir

That's a good point, and I've since updated the blog post and the code to use anonymous interfaces instead.

Check out Pachyderm [0]. It supports distributed, version-controlled data storage. The API is very Git-like: you modify data by making commits. [0] https://github.com/pachyderm/pachyderm

As noted in the parent comment, the Open Container Format will supersede appc. It will also adopt a lot of the ideas from appc, as noted in the CoreOS announcement [1]. [1] https://coreos.com/blog/app-container-and-the

If this was the case then any multiple of 8KB should also cause the bug to happen, but according to OP only exactly 8KB causes the bug.

For a more ambitious reading list, refer to CS6410 from Cornell [0]. The topics of the readings range from operating systems to distributed systems and networking. [0] http://www.cs.cornell.edu/courses/cs6410/2014

That simply means if you are extremely unlucky (e.g. luck being 0, like being hit by a bus), then all the other factors don't matter. On the other extreme, extreme luck can turn your company around even if you don't do so well on

Hi Brian, could you recommend some resources for learning to write high-performance code? And also, would you care to explain why O_SYNC is better than fsync? Thank you!

Yes, lots of people have started using Rust for hobby projects [0] and their feedback has been invaluable to the development of the language. [0] http://rust-ci.org/projects/

The language will still change a lot before 1.0, so I don't recommend serious usage in production, unless you are prepared for updating your codebase every now and then. However, many people have already started using Rust for persona

Not sure why you seem to think researchers are flowing to Google. Microsoft Research is still the biggest name in distributed systems, if not CS in general. They have been consistently producing high-quality papers [1]. [1] http:/&#

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Rust[1] yet. It's a systems programming language that has managed to get rid of null pointers by carefully controlling the ways in which a a value can be constructed[2]. [1] http://ww
