Most systems I know which require this just do at-least once on the sending side and dedupe on the receiving side. If you build this into your framework, to applications you have exactly-once barring unbounded partitions and the like.

Not sure why this is being downvoted, it's actually a good question. If all of your VM's are idle, you would want your host CPU to idle as well, although my guess is this doesn't happen in things like Xen, VMWare, etc.

Wish I had more upvotes for this. It's surprising how intolerant people become once their opinion becomes the socially acceptable one.

Just wanted to say thank you for hlld/bloomd! At my old company we were looking into uses for them just because the idea and footprint was so cool. We had a couple ideas for hlld and the overhead was so small that we could basically ad

What would be really cool is if this list of genres was open-sourced somewhere. I can see Netflix not wanting that, but it would really save time for however many hackers read this article and decide they want the same data.

They're trying to italicize the word via markdown (which accepts either _ or * ), but HN only supports * . So _really_ should be really

10.0.0.1 or 0x0a000001? 4.2.2.1 or 0x04020201? Mostly readability and speed of typing, I would think.

A general thanks to aphyr for exploring all of these kinds of issues in distributed datastores at a level where someone without a lot of database knowledge can understand and reason through. If anyone hasn't read his Jepsen series and

I think so, following the opt-out link led me to sign up for a G+ account (I'm in the same boat where I have a Google account but no G+).

How exactly is it lying? Microsoft did pay a $100k bounty to a hacker. The HN headline just leaves out extra details (what the bounty was for), but doesn't change the meaning at all. Am I missing something?

I think this is huge for CS grads, and I would add to not overlook a blog/SO as it can really showcase your ability to discuss and explain technical topics. I can never write a blog post because every time I try I end up with an outlin

This is pretty tech-specific. In many other fields, unpaid internships are seen as a good deal, mostly because their are so few of them and so many applicants. A friend of mine who recently converted an (unpaid) internship to a job in DC wo

Thanks, while I think the pronunciation is lame and confusing, I grow tired of explaining to people that it is actually correct, they aren't called "trys" or "treys".

I've used gmvault[1] before, and it works pretty well at preserving labels and playing nice with Gmail's specific idioms not common among other IMAP providers. [1] - http://gmvault.org/

Thanks a lot for the reply, one of my favorite things about HN is getting questions answered by the authors of the tool in question. After reading more, your decision to not post those benchmarks is a smart one. I get where you're comi

The claims on this site are pretty impressive, but I have close to zero knowledge of the history here, so can someone comment on how many grains of salt this should be taken with? Otherwise, this looks pretty cool. Something that beats prot

Their update that data might be kept around until the 30th, but they won't have support after Friday is almost an insult to injury here. I don't understand why they wouldn't just continue to support MyRedis for some reasona
