From the website: "Here from HackerNews? This was originally posted several months ago. Check back in two weeks for an updated benchmark including newer versions of Hive, Impala, and Shark."
A really good intro to Raft --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbZ3zDzDnrw Very useful if you are into distributed systems and would like to see a practical implementation with clear examples.
I would argue there is more than sufficient interest :) All you have to do is scan the angularjs google groups for ngRepeat issues. Infact, one of the solutions proposed for ngRepeat issue (with lot of caveats) has 300+…

Sure, we are trying through global warming :) On a serious note, take a look at cumulus networks[1] who claim to solve the hw/sw disaggregation problem. They have a linux OS distro which can run on h/w of multiple…
I had taken a course designed by him at stanford: object oriented programming from a modeling and simulation perspective. I also have the lecture notes for the follow-up course. It was mentioned that the course was…

If you are ok with CentOS/RHEL, there is a scalable way to boot multiple machines simulataneously using ........ bittorrent ! http://www.rocksclusters.org/rocks-doc/papers/two-pager/pape... Rocks is used at production…
Similar relative results, except that method 1 is always the fastest and even better than method 6. Ran loop count with large numbers (10 million & 30 million) to reduce measurement noise. Profiling was with cProfile on…
Just tried it out and it is excellent ! The integration of various aws services is really neat. The help and correction-suggestion are nice too. Great to hear that this is built on the awesome boto library. Will serve…
Absolutely. Very interesting talk. Definitely deserves a submission. BTW, the person asking the last couple of questions is Ed Bugnion, one of the co-founders of VMWare. He is a faculty now at EPFL.

Nothing wrong. This is standard industry practice. Check out glassdoor salaries for companies in diverse locations.
Thanks for the comprehensive clarification. Yes you are right that the use of revision-id would allow "first change to reach the server wins" for case (i). It would result in a simple and fair outcome. I did not see the…
Trying to wrap my head around this. Seems difficult without clear usecases. Let's say I have 10 devices d1,d2....d10 making updates to "a" on the server and went offline. a==20 and last update was by d5 before everyone…
If a client app is processing the cust record, how would cust.email look like ? Typically I would assume a single value, but in case of unresolved conflicts will it be a iterator/array ?
What you describe is very close to how hundreds of thousands of grads are hired into Indian software service industry. Aptitude test followed by training and plenty of time to come to speed and be evaluated. It has…
"plenty of talented developers.." ^^^^^^^^ From my experience in bay area & india, I never saw shortage of resumes for open positions. Large enough even if you assume people applying to multiple companies. The shortage…
"The government of India has said it needs to add 800 new universities, in part to avoid a shortfall of 1.6 million university-educated engineers by the end of the decade."... That's wildly optimistic. The reality is…
AppFog was built originally around another PaaS, Cloud Foundry. Wonder how this offering will compare with that. I can understand that there would be more control because of the IaaS nature of the offering. Anything…
Most companies use a variant of stack ranking. If you agree with the core philosophy that more productivity => better pay, then you need to implement some sort of a differential pay algorithm. Having said that the…
Have been a vi user for a long time. For c/c++ it is awesome and good enough. Sublime is fine too. Surprised no one mentioned Source Insight though ( unfortunately only windows ), was used in pretty big projects I was…
