Has it really been 2 years already? I'm still waiting for a decent build system for .NET projects for Linux or macOS. Last time I tried (~6 months ago), it was a tire fire.

Meanwhile, google was sorting Petabytes in under a minute on their clusters 6+ years ago. We've still got a long ways to go in OSS land to compete with the big boys.

Not a dupe. Denzil is the poster of the competing submission, and its time stamp is later than this one.

What? Where are these 8:30-4:30-with-a-nice-long-lunch jobs? In my experience, smaller (non bigcorp) companies have to fight to survive and don't have these luxuries..

Thank you for your thoughtful comment, you've convinced me to take a moment and think more carefully about this. The energy efficiency is an excellent point. Ultimately I am still extremely leery of the apple lock in factor in general

Thanks, Apple, but no thanks. I'd rather stick with the completely open-source Google Tensor Flow rather than lock myself into any more of Apple's proprietary shit.

I agree that they are similar in some ways, but under the covers they are fundamentally different beasts in almost all ways!!! Etcd uses Raft and ZooKeeper uses it's own protocol called Zab [0]. Zab shares some characteristics with Pax

How can you justify mapping 'p' to 'pull' rather than 'push'? I applaud the effort and think it's unfortunate the value add seems so marginal here. This type of thing boils down to mostly personal prefere

Well, I for one wasn't aware of the new functionality in Go and am grateful the author posted about it. Because otherwise I wouldn't know what I now know!

What a terribly written article. Just give me the TL;DR already please!

I agree with you. When in doubt I publish the nice links.
