Sounds like a weird and bad situation. Here's a question, you are going into debt over this company... is the CEO also doing the same? Is it shared pain? Or... are you the only one who is under pain? Or under-paid? I've seen startup sit

The hype and "over-investing" is deliberate. Why? Well, let's face it, the most revolutionary things have all started sounding silly and insane. People will buy things over computers without having actually seen or touched them? Humans wi

Given the legendary performance issues of Hadoop I am not really surprised. Hadoop is heavily horizontally scalable, but that's about it.

Interesting paper, I hope to see a follow on that actually describes the algorithm in full. As written, it doesn't cover the failure recovery, data-drift and timeout cases. Also maybe you could speak to a few constraints: - missing updates

Good non-answer. For many large, non-trivial systems have several requirements: - tends to have complex dependencies - needs fast builds This was a classic: http://www.amazon.com/Large-Scale-Software-Design-John-Lakos... Essentially how t

I'm sorry but this is possibly one of the worst comments I've seen... There is a conservation of complexity that you just can't get rid of in an application. To suggest that Scala encourages small programs, you are also suggesting that Sca

Question, doesn't the full configuration require you to put your config stuff in multiple files? A lot of files? The sbt 'directory of configuration' was always a bummer for me. The single pom.xml is a nice mechanism. Also maven has good

by ryanpers 14y ago
you can edit the pom.xml file, and have your project adjusted immediately. intellij will download and add the new jar to the classpath... BAM intellij is really a much better experience in developing than eclipse. Lots of fit and finish thi

i really just want intellij compatability. sbt doesnt offer that. it's incremental compiling is not useful because I do my java dev in intellij. So SBT offered me nothing that maven didnt already have, minus a few weirdo things (like puttin

It's too bad sbt isn't actually simple and is generally a disaster. I did scala in IntelliJ. The lack of tooling reduces the value a lot. I almost prefer plain java over the sheer simplicity it has comparatively...

if you have innate creativity and you aren't inspiring others, then you are just interchangeable, no?

more hallucinogens on the left coast. No surprise BSD was a left coast hippy idea, and mainframe OS was a IBM/east coast thing.

That was years ago when he was a teenager. Many people went thru an "illegal period", his was just... more successful than most. As for sociopathic, so what? Didn't you know that most CEOs are sociopaths? I find that argument... not comp

I was neutral on this guy until I read the wired story, and then I became a fan. He is a self made man (way more so than romney!), he suffers from persistent discrimination (overweight) and he has cycled thru the hero's journey. I have hear

"startups arent technical" I guess YOUR startup isnt technical... But there are in fact technical startups out there. It's just that they make more money than yours, do better and are generally cooler.

well, you got it in the first paragraph - because Windows isnt Unix, and people dont use it for production. F# is in theory nice, but devops'ing windows, I just dunno man.

It isn't like F1 at all... F1 is a multi-datacenter, transactional datastore and SQL, that google uses to replace mysql. This aint nothing like that.

The subsidy rate is the same regardless of which phone you get on AT&T/vz. This means the logical course of action is to choose the phone that gives you the most backend subsidy amount, which happens to be the iPhones. Apple gets paid

I also gave the driving directions a shot, the voice cues are great, the visuals look fantastic and really awesome. Also when you deviate it doesnt give you some "ROBOT RECALCULATING" voice, instead she smoothly cuts over to the next set o

I am not really sure the current state of things, but to "get real" I feel any GC needs to be able to handle: - multicore/multithreaded - heap sizes of 20-200GB and larger ideally Think about it this way... We have the same goal, of diminis

One of the largest problems with the sun-jvm GC implementations is they have global pause times to rewrite pointers. This is (in part) because there is no read barrier, and thus all threads must be paused to be 'fixed' after object moves.

how does MPS-GC compare to low pause, no global pause GC systems like GPGC from Azul?

I have run into sysadmins who prefer to be manual, and avoid automation. I have a destination in mind, and I'm always looking for new travelers. But I havent seen many lately.

the issue is once you get to 100 nodes. you are issuing a 100 node ssh loop from a git-post-receive hook? I'm wary of that.
