According to the article, Yelp had 7 different data sources and similar number of targets. If they wrote a loader for each combination, they'd end up with 49 combinations. Not to mention 7 loaders to write every time they add an app. W

required.acks works together with min.insync.replicas. Basically "required.acks" lets you choose between "no acks", "leader only" and "all in sync replicas", while min.insync.replicas lets you control

I already use Houzz for something similar. Houzz lets me browse products by similar categories, but also lets me see how the product looks in actual rooms and has lots of social features.

Scala: Java has tons of boiler-plate code and is not "functional" enough.

Obviously the author doesn't have kids. I don't think anything can prevent them from breaking and changing things. Maybe they won't do it with iPad (although I doubt it), but they'll still do it. Part of being a human child and all.

If you are currently living and creating wealth in Somalia, then I agree - society doesn't help you much and if you pay any taxes, you can stop. If you live in a first world country, you should realize that the difference between your count

Years ago I've read an article that recommended doing this manually as a way to assist the flow of traffic. I thought its a nice idea and tried it. Unfortunately, I tried this in Tel-Aviv, where drivers from other lanes immediately moved th

I love the explanation of terms. Highly useful. It also highlights the near complete lack of correlation between how much a plan costs and how much benefits you get.

... and ZFS copy-on-write has been known to cause severe performance degradation for databases. Not to mention that too many SAs keep the default ZFS block size, which is far too large for OLTP databases.

That's an awesome idea and I hope it works out well. I'd love to be able to follow my favorite hair stylist and beautician around. I also hope my customers will want to follow their favorite database consultant :)

You see, passwords suck. Big time. They are extremely vulnerable to brute-force attacks, people forget them, people write them down on post-it notes, and people use the same password on every single site. Not to mention that the website has

What I'd really want to see is public-key authentication for website. Let me upload my public key when I create an account on a website, and let the browser interact with my ssh-agent to authenticate.

This is almost like Oracle support telling me "There is no problem" after I call them about my database corruption. The author, who obviously loves your software, couldn't find you enough times that he wrote a blog post about it. There are

I did both, and in my situation it seems that travel is a bigger issue. Even with crazy startup hours, we could usually get at least one shared meal a day and you know... see each other. We could also workout together. Maybe get a hug while

Consulting often means lots of travel time. Even remote customers will usually want to meet face-to-face at some point, and requirement gathering is often best done on-site. This becomes an issue when you want to settle down and grow your f

Follow up research I'd like to see: Some research has been done on effective group problem solving. There are several possible methods - pick a leader and let him decide, reach consensus, majority decision, etc. Some have been shown to be m

Actually the article says "the more women the better". I don't think an all-women group could count as diverse. The researchers explained the findings in terms of "social sensitivity" and communication style, not diversity.

Heh, its nice to see a version of "don't wear a short skirt when you go out, and don't drink" aimed at the 50% of the population that normally don't get blamed when they are victims of crime. They don't seem to like it either.

Also, the lack of any scalability charts or diagrams of architecture is suspicious. If you can't make it opensource, at least write a serious paper to support the claims. Like Google did for Big-Table. A lot of people think their systems ar

If I was evil and suicidal I could wipe up many companies by "drop database including backup". When you have DBA access to production databases, lack of root does not stand in the way of doing evil. It does stand in the way of using message

My guess is that you didn't seriously learn functional programming in any language. It is not just about memory management and data structures. It is about functions as first class objects, no side effects, lazy evaluation, closure, monads.

Also, I bet that Cloudera already hired many of the best Hadoop engineers in Yahoo. Because the founders knew who they are and could put serious resources into recruiting them.
