Unfortunate that Joshua Tree (Yucca brevifolia) are not in there. I always thought they would have a pretty fascinating root structure because of how separated they grow. Makes sense that it’s not in a Dutch database though!

Herkese iyi seneler!

You should look into CBTI, and see a sleep therapist (my insurance covered this; so I only had to pay co-pay).

In brief, the goal with CBTI is to force yourself to get out of bed at 8am (say). You can still continue going to sleep at whatever time you’re used to. So clearly, you’ll be extremely tired if you keep getting 5-6 hours of sleep. My therapist told me that I’d essentially hate him for 1.5 weeks until this keeps going. Also, no naps are allowed in this phase. At some point, your body will be so tired that you’ll just pass out at midnight.

I guess Rust is a language that went the move to Safe and Useful, following the top arrow?

I still don't see it! Which part of the pond is it?

But someone can write a proxy that exposes Gmail as a JMAP endpoint?

"Given to me or bought with book tokens"

Book tokens?! Is this some kind of 40s cryptocurrency?

I love the combination of these! Really opens up a world of possibilities. The one command I'm still trying to replace is `cd` itself. For instance, can anyone suggest a way to add bookmarks, so that I can move around faster? I found a few, but was never happy with them.

This is fantastic news. If I understand things correctly, we can now host the Wire server on our own VM, and use the clients to connect to it, correct? We'll have full control over the end-to-end encrypted network?

Really cool video! Can anybody guess how much it may have cost them to make?

But what about "Big Data" workloads? Running Spark or Cassandra clusters say? My understanding is that having a custom scheduler makes mesos more attractive for those tasks? Has your experience been different?

The "Chesterton's fence" experiment comes to mind..

My point wasn't that it's hard to run servers. It was that they thought it would give them an advantage for storing their text documents.

Shocking that they've been hosting their own servers until now..

Sad to see Mesos losing steam. My understanding was that Mesos subsumes the functionality of Kubernetes thanks to its Aurora scheduler. But it has much more customized schedulers, for different purposes, that might make it more efficient to run complicated pieces of software.

For instance, it certainly is possible to run a Cassandra cluster by having each instance run in its own Docker container. My understanding is that it would be much more efficient to run this cluster with a dedicated Cassandra cluster instead.

Is this right? Or are the performance benefits of running a dedicated Cassandra scheduler on Mesos negligible compared to running them in containers?

I wish somebody did a similar service for Pocket. I guess having a native client for reading files will never happen (been waiting for years..!). But I could also use an interface for reading articles while I'm online..

> Tech giants, including Amazon, Cisco, Google, IBM and Microsoft also have their eye on the industrial internet market, as do a bevy of start-ups.

The article doesn't mention any startups. Any ideas what startups could be potential disruptors?

It seems that using Kubernetes is definitely more mature and usable than Swarm. But how would you rate the other Docker projects, like docker-machine and docker-compose. Does Kubernetes also subsume those projects?

These seem to be way more mature than Swarm.

According to the article, HTTP/2 is 6x faster on LTE, and 15x faster on 3G. Is the result of this difference that LTE has better latencies?

I'm also a big fan of Fastmail, and I've been using it for a while with great pleasure. However, I've come to realize that Gmail is really two things: an e-mail service, and and e-mail platform. Fastmail is more than enough to replace the service aspect. But there are so many plugins and startups that use Gmail, that at some point one feels like one's missing out. I'm thinking of things like Streak, Mixmax, Boomerang..

At some point I asked them whether they could "emulate" Gmail's UI, so that these apps and Chrome extensions could run on Fastmail. But understandably this is quite a big task. If they could pull it off, it would be quite phenomenal though..

Why do people use C* in addition to ES? It seems like in this case most of the data could directly be piped into ES?

I understand that ES can lose data, or have some data storage problems, but one could just as well store all the incoming data on Hadoop or so, without having to bother with C*, no?

I see. If that's the only reason, not sure if it's a major problem with the ORM, given that you could use South instead with almost the same outcome.

Why did the ORM suck before? Were there major changes done to the ORM?

I wish they also shared the salary of their managers. That's way more interesting..

I am also having trouble loading the site.

But shouldnt WikiLeaks be releasing this as a torrent?! Wouldn't that be much more effective, both efficiency and cost-wise?

I wish the OP had also drawn a comparison between Postgres and Cassandra (which he mentions early on).

Based on the schema he writes at the beginning, it looks as though he works mostly with time-series. My understanding is that Cassandra is particularly well-suited for these types of workloads (definitely more so than MongoDB?). If the write throughput is such that a single server can handle it, how would Postgres compare with Cassandra? What are the distinctions in read-latencies? Storage space?

Perhaps for the next article..?

Anybody has insights about using Docker Swarm? I imagine Kubernetes has been battle-tested way more in production, especially by the likes of Google. But from what I understand, Docker is really pushing swarm. I'd be curious to hear if others even considered Swarm before choosing K8s..
