While this is clearly xenophobic and just plain awful, it seems like the most sensible workaround for this is for universities to offer very small (4 students or less per session) …

I'm not quite certain I understand that last part. To the best of my understanding, Kafka's design is such that consumer ingestion is completely decoupled from production throughpu…

That works for some use cases, but for others (Elasticsearch, Zookeeper, Kafka, etc) the service inside the container needs to bind to an interface associated with an IP that's als…

I believe it's called a Sankey diagram: http://bl.ocks.org/d3noob/5028304

us-east-1 is where they typically deploy new features/hardware first (with the exception of efs which went to us-west first for some reason). it's also by far the largest region, w…

Sign-ins to AWS console also appear to be timing out: https://www.evernote.com/l/ABkKLgp3RjRDe5uV4pMlyVg1uzkW41DG4...

that's completely untrue. there are many ways to do fault-tolerance in AWS. it's expensive, but it's possible. netflix even goes as far as simulating the failure of entire aws regi…

In addition to some of the other replies, Consul also has a writeup on their website comparing itself with Zookeeper, etcd, etc: https://consul.io/intro/vs/zookeeper.html

Charlie Nutter gave a great talk covering this and a lot of additional new JVM features here: https://vimeo.com/114187541 Edit: The JNR stuff is covered around 42 minutes in.

This seems quite cool. For very large clusters, I'd also consider looking into Optaplanner, which exposes a variety of probabilistic metaheuristics for balancing. There's a "cloud …

There's a great scene from the West Wing about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVX-PrBRtTY

Ge0ffrey, any plans to release the source code on this optimization? It'd be great to have a writeup on how to actually run the tsp tests for this. It's sort of buried in the test …

This is a great way to handle offline search, but as the article mentions, indexing is still a pretty heavy operation to perform on the client-side. I'm curious to see if it'd make…

Looks pretty awesome, esp the clean DSL for your page model, but it seems like most of the documentation might be missing. How sophisticated is the crawler portion? Does it support…

Kibana 4 should have some of that: http://www.elasticsearch.org/blog/kibana-4-beta-1-released/ It exposes quite a bit of the new aggregation functionality added to ES 1.x.

You forgot to mention its also home to Strangeloop, one of the best developer conferences I've ever attended: https://thestrangeloop.com/ Full disclosure: I'm hosting a workshop at…

Groovy has supported compile-time safety since version 2.0 with the optional @CompileStatic annotation. It's one of the few languages where you can mix static and dynamic typing, e…
