If you are operating in California, push back. Non-enforceable doesn't mean they can threaten all they want.

Note that good companies clearly spell out the CA legal section which covers this. Bad ones try to hide it.

Option A will disable the same-disk Time Machine snapshots feature, while option B will slow down git.

Personally, I've never encountered this issue and I rebase frequently.

OpenJDK Hotspot has a relatively mature ARM port. Due to "embedded" licensing it's not been supported from Oracle, but you can use it.

With TrueTime you are trading some latency on concurrent operations for correctness.

Other structures such as CRDTs/lattices might be more appropriate for your use case.

The point of an IPO is to offer stock to the public. Once its on the market, anyone can.

MySQL fills the "networked reliable transnational BTrees on disk" niche fairly well.

Both Rust and C/C++ sit squarely in the "no GC" or "optional GC" camp, which has very important implications for certain applications which strongly favor that compared to a generalized system-wide GC.

> From my own experience with Scala, the reason to go in a service-oriented direction is, to say the least, make your compiles go faster over smaller isolated bits of functionality in your app.

Compile times are not a reason to move to a service oriented architecture.

"Enterprise" 4TB disks don't have orders of magnitude more IOPs than consumer versions.

I second the recommendation for Duo. Its a great application, and if you're looking for adding 2FA to your own systems (IT or otherwise) has a multitude of interaction options (secondary password LDAP, etc).

Its not getting worse, its just more pervasive. Quality tends to be lower than hardwired implementations ("because we can fix it at manufacture time!"), primarily due to the rush to first to market.

Twitter (San Francisco, Sunnyvale, Seattle) is hiring.

While well beyond the scrappy startup phase, we are looking for a broad range of skills, from front end, mobile, operations, SRE, and backend positions.

See the job postings at https://twitter.com/jobs and feel free to e-mail me at yann@[company].com

Finagle and "util" both have 2.10 builds available.

As for bridging Twitter Future with (now) Scala Future, that should be coming soon, once the execution context stuff is squared away.

JVM deployment is a little more involved, but due to the use of the virtual machine, can allow for hot code swaps. However, this isn't cleanly baked into many application architectures, so YMMV.

And this is why credit cards are increasingly required to book a reservation online.

As someone who has equipment there, I agree. Its not a datacenter. However the pricing is not bad, so its a real get what you pay for.

Zipkin depends on the services in the stack to be able to capture trace identifiers, record and send to the collector timing information, and forward trace identifiers for outbound calls. This is easy in Finagle as all of this logic is already abstracted away for most of the protocols. Note that Finagle is open source so its ready for use today.

If you wanted to record and forward traces inside your own services, this is relatively straightforward (though not super trivial) to do. There are other implementations beyond the Finagle one in development by the community - I would suggest hopping on to the zipkin-users Google Group.

New relic is not a distributed tracing system.

Yes, if you "go off the reservation" and outside of the Twitter Future, you will lose your automatic trace identifiers.

This isn't a unique problem, but using consistent libraries goes a long way (which works well internally at Twitter).

Like a WAL file.

Amazon runs nothing but Xeons and Opterons, which require the use of ECC memory.

Out of curiosity, are you using Postgres with SSL for an offsite or multi-DC replica? Would switching to a site-to-site VPN be more efficient here?

Bangkok keeps on extending its free bus service, and its quite extensive.

Note that the bus system is essentially classed, since only the old, non-airconditioned, slow buses are free (and you can pay for better transit options).

It also was the most standards compliant and performant IE of its time, being a totally different code base.

SBT can produce .pom files (along with Ivy artifacts)

I haven't seen the B-unit before, but that is an interesting device.

I was about the mention Thailand and Taiwan as two popular medical tourism places.

You're out $1-2k on the ticket, but paying a tiny fraction for great healthcare.

You just can't sue anyone later (but that is maybe a good thing).

But <$10 for an ARM926 in very low quantities. Add DRAM, NAND (or SD).

Scala still has the problem that you can return null explicitly (since references on the JVM are nullable), but any Scala code which does this should probably be shot on sight.

If you ignore IE+Windows XP, you can safely use SNI.
