Yugabyte is an open source distributed database that has a Postgres compatible query layer as well as a Cassandra compatible one. https://www.yugabyte.com/
This article talks about a few factors that have created this crisis: https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2019/09/the-fed-has-not-cove... "What were they thinking?" indeed.
I'm not sure why you're downvoted, but I think that this nails the biggest reason for runaway inflation in housing prices. When money supply is cheap, asset prices will be bid up. The only people who can afford the…
I agree. While there are many articles that are questionably sourced and there are many articles with which I profoundly disagree (mostly advocating Austrian style economics and unfettered capitalism), it also provides…
I had an ultra 10 in my bedroom closet and it was impossible to sleep with that thing on. But I don't think it was much worse than HP 9000s or IIRC DEC alphas. Feeling nostalgic now.
In the 90s, it was frequently referred to as 'Slowlaris'. Yeah, in the early days of Solaris, I definitely used to miss SunOS 4.
Tarkovsky's works are generally demanding works of art. They are definitely slow paced and almost boring, but I've always found myself in a much more thoughtful frame of mind after watching his films. As for Solaris, it…
IntelliJ for Java. Emacs for everything else.
My favorite olive oil anecdote. Last year, I was traveling from Venice to Paris on an overnight train and I'd brought along a bottle of wine to share with my cabin-mates. One of them reciprocated by bringing out a can…
I think the key is seasonality, though I'm sure that regulations and customer willingness to pay for quality do play a role. For instance, I find that fruits and vegetables taste better in India too and the typical…
Well, if a company is willing to pay top dollar for a year to hire a candidate for a specific skill, I'd say that the specific skill should be in high demand. So it would be easy enough to find another employer in need…
Actually, I don't see a big problem with SV companies getting the lion's share of H-1B visa allocations if they are for the highest paying jobs. I would argue that this would ensure that everyone is better off --…
That is $100k or $25K per year assuming a 4 year vesting schedule. Even assuming that you did not take a pay cut relative to working for a bigger or more established company, it seems a little low reward for the risk…
Sorry if this is an ignorant question, but can you elaborate on this? It's not clear to me why this would lead to memory leaks.
I suspect that the majority of the cases where H-1B workers are paid less than the prevailing wages are at body shops like Wipro, TCS and yes, IBM. IMHO one potential fix for the situation could be to disallow (or at…
Samza can run on a Hadoop 2 cluster using YARN. As far as I know, there is no other connection to Hadoop or HBase.
This is an unfortunate display of bad judgement by all parties concerned. The disgruntled employee, even if he had not signed an NDA, did something fairly stupid and verboten -- namely, he bad-mouthed a former employer…
The one question no one seems to be asking is how much of PayPal's revenue is due to transactions on eBay. I suspect that it is the majority. If that's the case, then with the spinoff, it would be in eBay's interest to…
Perhaps I am missing something, but color me skeptical... immutable on-disk structures essentially means that you have to perform run-time compactions on every query... unless your in-memory representation is the cache,…
I would say that a technical interview consisting of coding questions that test data structures and algorithms is about as standard as you can get. True that some interviewers will turn this into a hazing ritual, but…
Did I read correctly that you have to sign up for a Gold Support Package @ $400 / month before you have access to GCE?
Am I the only one who thought that this article was tongue-in-cheek? I mean, who seriously advocates for such a dystopian world? It has to be ironic!
So the objection to JSON comes down to a couple of things: no comments and fragility in face of a trailing comma. I wonder if the right thing though would be to fix JSON (maybe even call it something else) rather than…
Well, obnoxious may be too strong, but it is definitely ironic and self-unaware (or should that be un-self-aware?)
IMHO, Java combines the worst of statically typed and dynamically typed programming languages. To paraphrase Rob Pike, programming in Java is like dotting all the i's and crossing all the t's in a fairly complex…
