Except they are. Catalogued as δ-CRDT, under Lexicographic Counter in https://arxiv.org/pdf/1603.01529.pdf edit: Although to be fair that blog post is ancient and covers Cassandra …

CQL is compatible with Thrift-created column families (the inverse is not true, though). Just do a DESCRIBE SCHEMA from cqlsh and see how CQL interprets a particular Thrift-created…

This is not true. See this for example: http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/thrift-to-cql3 You can do CREATE TABLE schemaless (id blob, name blob, value blob, PRIMARY KEY (id, name)) …

> Cassandra is really awesome at writes but reads are really expensive This is getting old, and is just plain untrue. Reads are more expensive than the extremely cheap writes, but …

No batching here, just single-partition, two cell update. Atomic, but not isolated in the way you define isolation in your gist.

The difference is that all the cells with the same `id` would belong to the same partition and stored together, so you'd be able to write them atomically and read them together che…

It's not how Riak does this, and it's not what's going on under the hood with Cassandra, either.

In case you are talking about Cassandra collections (maps and sets), and not abstract maps/sets, then you are wrong. Only CQL3 Lists work like that - there are no UUIDs anywhere in…

Performance, mostly. To read both the email and the phone you'll have to make two requests (or a single multiget). The keys have a good chance of belonging to different replicas, t…

This reminded me of "God Mode" ( http://qntm.org/godmode ).

'static' in C is the worst - it has 2 different meanings within the same language. Does anyone know the reason for this confusing design decision?

This is useful, thanks. Would be even better with RSS/Atom feed.

Also ejabberd.

SMS/MMS gateway (aggregator) with SMPP, CIMD and MM7 support and AMQP interface (RabbitMQ as a broker). Also building a simple SMSC right now. It's a perfect fit.

Is there even a word in japanese for "obscene"?

While Lua doesn't have many batteries included, it is trivial to expose a C lib-whatever interface to Lua when needed (example - http://github.com/iamaleksey/lua-zmq/blob/master/zm…

ets:new(global_state, [set, public, named_table]) Now we've got a named table that any process may read or write to. It is possible.

Now that we have DHT + PEX + magnet links ( http://lifehacker.com/5411311/bittorrents-future-dht-pex-and... ), someone should come up with distributed torrent search and make the w…

Tsst, don't say things like this. They can be reading HN.
