I'd like to stress the point in the article about how important the . is to efficient vim use. https://pragprog.com/book/dnvim2/practical-vim-second-editio... completely changed ho…

It's not that I wouldn't recommend it, I would just think twice recommending it for very small ops teams for certain use cases. It's not so hard to manage, but having it be managed…

I love Kafka and the log orientated streaming model, but I often have to think twice before recommending it to clients who would have to manage the ops themselves. Having a managed…

Yes, I like to think of it as as the transaction log without any of the logic. If you’re interested, I can highly recommend Martin Kleppmann’s talk “Turning the database inside out…

PubSub is fundamentally a different abstraction than Kafka which is log orientated. With Kafka you can maintain the ability to replay your log/stream, in order, at any time. This e…

Our approach archives topics to cheap, highly durable and available object stores, while keeping the data available for blending between warehoused and live data sets. This reduces…

We will be launching support for native excision and data anonymization soon, as these are extremely important to storing streaming data for the long term. Workarounds for excision…

As a side note, we provide tooling to maintain Amazon Athena/Hive,Presto support over your Pyrostore archived data in S3, while maintaining its ability to be streamed in-order.

Pyrostore co-founder here. When practitioners archive their data from Kafka to other storage products (S3, SQL database, etc) today, they are giving up on the log ordered structure…

On the face of it, the lender has no more incentive, but having an unforgeable trail of ownership and payment may improve the value of the loan as it passes from hand to hand. That…

You still need to be able to transfer the loan from party to party, and allow parties to prove ownership of the loan. That's not a complex contract obviously, but it's important.

I'm not a huge proponent on smart contracts, and I agree that it's a big problem enforcing payback, but that's no worse than regular loans. At least the ownership/transfership and …

If that's true, third party middlemen with quantum devices could work around this until it becomes more mainstream. At least it would allow it to not wither on the vine until every…

You can trade odd lots pretty cheaply these days.

I wholeheartedly approve of the new licensing. The previous licensing was incredibly restrictive for microservices and for scaling out reads in an elastic way. The new model is muc…

Especially this financial magic "The deal also promises to help CenturyLink by giving it access to about $10 billion in tax credits that Level 3 is carrying on its books"

A fantastic library. We switched Onyx Platform www.onyxplatform.org over to it from Netty, and it was a lot easier to write than the netty messaging layer that we had, which requir…

It's striking how many of these issues cause panics because of assertions that were already in the code. Without good assertion use, I would assume that many of these would have be…

Even the top of the line Mac Pro is not good enough. I've used it with the DK2 in Windows, and judder was still a huge problem.
