Re:Writing a Faster Jsonnet Compiler (2018) on Sunday March 10, 2019 @07:44PM (#19355520)
This can be somewhat mitigated by AOT compilation. Here's a link to some experiments from using SubstrateVM to create a self-contained executable from sjsonnet: https://github.com/databricks/sjsonnet/issues/2
Re:Breaking a large AWS spend into understandable pieces on Thursday May 18, 2017 @10:12PM (#14372572)
Netflix ICE has a few quirks but overall it's a pretty useful free tool.

Unfortunately, the project has been largely abandoned and the current version in the Netflix GitHub repository won't work out of the box for many companies due to lack of support for new AWS regions, instances, reservation types, and services, as well as showstopping bugs (such as https://github.com/Netflix/ice/issues/210). In order to effectively use ICE today most users will need to maintain their own patched fork.

I'm currently campaigning to create a community-maintained version of ICE, with committers from multiple organizations, in order to revive the project: https://github.com/Netflix/ice/issues/240#issuecomment-29960...

Re:Introducing Spark Datasets on Monday January 11, 2016 @01:43PM (#10882231)
The blog is referring to source- and binary-API compatibility guarantees that Spark provides.

IIRC, in order for DataFrames and Datasets to share a common parent class certain common methods' return types would need to change in a binary-incompatible way that would break DataFrame code which was compiled against older Spark versions.

Due to Spark's API compatibility and versioning policies, this type of compatibility break can only occur in major releases, so it can only be done in Spark 2.0.0 and not Spark 1.6.

Perhaps there will be an option to disable Google Buzz for the Google Apps version of Gmail.

Gitx is a native OS X GUI for git. It comes with a nice command line tool, gitx, that works like gitk. http://gitx.frim.nl/
