The Microsoft Datacenter Study
A team from the University of Toronto and Microsoft Research studied the behavior of network failures in several of Microsoft’s datacenters. They found an average failure rate of 5.2 devices per day and 40.8 links per day with a median time to repair of approximately five minutes (and up to one week). While the researchers note that correlating link failures and communication partitions is challenging, they estimate a median packet loss of 59,000 packets per failure. Perhaps more concerning is their finding that network redundancy improves median traffic by only 43%; that is, network redundancy does not eliminate many common causes of network failure.

i once spent days of my life optimizing an sql query for length so that a vb app ported from oracle to mysql 4.x would work correctly

because in vba, sql is actually handled by word.exe, so the query has to be passed into word.exe in a vb6 string, which is limited to 255? 256? chars. this is a bitch working with a db that doesn't have stored queries, views, etc

imo things like numeric types and data types and so on should all be handled by the processor architecture

Return t if the two args are the same Lisp object.
Floating-point numbers of equal value are `eql', but they may not be `eq'.

rendevous hashing is good when you have a fantastic hash + small amount of servers, and you're servicing requests as they come

i am exploring using rendevous hashing instead of vnodes but i'll tell you how well it works

so i need to make a dead simple api. it has only one endpoint, and the result is going to be a json object with a name and a date and a time. it will accomplish this by querying some database table full of datetimes and names and returning the next closest one in the future.

I would say .NET but I don't want to pay for azure for it. What is the most way to accomplish this with a p-lang? I was thinking Rails but idk.

lock free does not mean "you don't have to use mutexes directly in your code", it means a malicious thread scheduler can't stop the progress of your code

Or local locks.

You know, lock free.

Oh, I get what you're asking -- when I said "all other threads" I meant all other threads participating in your lock free algorithm, not all threads in general

I just talk about my experiences; that's where I got them. I don't feel like rjmccall is bragging when he talks about working on swift or suspicious dish about red hat or hackbunny about reactos or bean dip about canary or rope kid about fallout stuff or whatever. they tell their stories and I find them interesting even when they evidence incredibly wrong opinions by disagreeing with me. I'm sorry if it makes you feel bad about yourself or something. in general I find that "I believe X because of experience in the context of Y" is more useful than "X is true" as a pattern of discourse, and it's definitely a habit I've developed.

on topic: I hadn't really looked into word2vec in detail until a conversation with someone yesterday, but it is pretty amazing. you can have vectors that represent Washington DC, USA, Paris, and France and then Washington - USA + France = Paris, with any number of meaningful relationships. what the actual hell.
