Disagree. Somewhat strongly. The last thing we need are more nerds in the pejorative sense that can't see past their particular electrons in their favorite elements in the dirt. Yo…

According to Stanford prof who launched ramcloud Facebook indeed uses MySQL. But MySQL by itself was hopelessly slow. That's why Facebook has over 4000 memcache servers (this as of…

op - thank you for posting. Cogent. Well argued. Timely.

You're confusing cause and effect. The goal of the south was slavery and leave if they did not get it - cause. The north was then handed a problem to which civil war. Effect. The s…

Wrong. Absolutely wrong. The continued divisive nature of American politics is not because of enemies or the two party system. It's incompetence and lack of backbone. Neither polit…

Op - thanks for finding and posting. I enjoyed reading it, and was pleased to see evidence intelligent rhetoric with heart. Now at this point Lincoln said he would not stop slavery…

Wow. Hell of a good read. And smart points too.

I do not object to publishing a better result. Like the paper said serious craft goes into that and there's nothing wrong with typing it up and having it published. But it's not sc…

Great read and better distinction

Using TLA, spin and others will help compute actual numbers to see reachable states etc

Wow. No. Engineering school was/is supposed to help us (you) move beyond cynical judgements to thinking.

Agree. We'll put & explained.

Agree - rules engines are legion in commercial envs and a decent language or accessible non Java reit engine is something on my shopping list too.

I was talking to my wife about why something around the house was slow to get done. Well, Rust wasn't having that. For a full 30-mins I was on full defense trying to figure out how…

In human relations a kind of Kolmogorov complexity measure in which we communicate the most information in the least symbols or words --- well illustrated with your 'wanna get dinn…

I am familiar with Blanton's Radical Honesty if that's your reference. What was your experience?

I think I ran across this at Bloomberg.com: "Linguistic scholar George Lakoff was among the first to acknowledge the Sanders milestone, comparing it to a President Richard Nixon qu…

A really nice assessment and description. Periodically I fall into "give advice because you are deeply desperate for validation". I'd like build on your words and summarize what I …

OP has Solarflare NICs. So surely > 1MM pps is possible on that HW? But as you opened with 1 million per second on the Linux stack, I gather that kernel by-pass and such were by de…
