Who would want to? APISIX apparently: https://apisix.apache.org/docs/apisix/getting-started/rate-l...

From the toki pona conlang, this also visually reminds me of the "sitelen musi" writing system. https://www.reddit.com/r/tokipona/comments/hlpvx0/sitelen_mu...

For basic SETNX single instance redis instances, sure. But for the Redlock algorithm, I've never encountered anyone that was already running 5 redis masters to use out of convenien…

The best research I've seen on this is the paper "On the Prehistory of QWERTY" [1] which has a great figure on the fourth page with the presumable original prototype showing all th…

From the article: > For a function to be useful as a hash function, it must exhibit the property of uniform distribution It's also listed as the first property on the Wikipedia pag…

Specifically, these functions to not provide "uniform distribution".

The biggest issue I've personally experienced is semantics when wrapping your head a design or debugging a service you aren't familiar with. "POST" has come to imply a "write" oper…

This is a Javascript issue, not a JSON issue. The JSON spec doesn't apply any limits on the number type. ECMA-404 states: > JSON is agnostic about the semantics of numbers. In any …

You can implement emptiness with the wrapper message types, e.g. StringValue: https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/blob/master/src/... and sometimes defining your own, e.g. …

Have you read that NASA study? It involves air being run through an activated carbon filter, and the plants using that carbon filter as its growing medium. From the paper: > This a…

I prefer to think of it as the mullet of the database world: Bigtable in the front, Dynamo in the back.

For such a long README, this utterly fails to explain or even link to what Lilypond is. I googled for a few pages, assuming that it wouldn't be related to http://lilypond.org (part…

http://static.googleusercontent.com/media/research.google.co... is a collection of more advanced container patterns you might be interested in.

If this sort of stuff is relevant to you, http://patshaughnessy.net/ruby-under-a-microscope is an essential book to read.

You can use a datastore like HashiCorp's vault: https://vaultproject.io
