Has it really been 2 years already? I'm still waiting for a decent build system for .NET projects for Linux or macOS. Last time I tried (~6 months ago), it was a tire fire.

Meanwhile, google was sorting Petabytes in under a minute on their clusters 6+ years ago. We've still got a long ways to go in OSS land to compete with the big boys.

Not a dupe. Denzil is the poster of the competing submission, and its time stamp is later than this one.

What? Where are these 8:30-4:30-with-a-nice-long-lunch jobs?

In my experience, smaller (non bigcorp) companies have to fight to survive and don't have these luxuries..

Uhm, to what extent do they have a choice? Be super poor or work hard. Hmm..yes those are delightful "options" to get to "select".

But seriously, I don't see a realistic choice for most people. To have any decent level of security and stability in our lives, most of us have to work our asses off!

Depending on the kind of non-profit Twitter tries to become, they may need to somehow disentangle Twitter from all of the political favoritism and censorship controls currently built into the system.

Seems like a pretty huge change and it's definitely tough to envision!

One reason I am hesitant to go this route is because I don't want to hard-code Amazon's API's into my apps..

With many close friends who work at $FB, I promise you politics are alive and well :)

Fair enough. Removed that portion as I do not wish to taint the conversation with my own (unproven) speculation. Thank you @zepto.

Thank you for your thoughtful comment, you've convinced me to take a moment and think more carefully about this.

The energy efficiency is an excellent point.

Ultimately I am still extremely leery of the apple lock in factor in general and their arbitrary rulings of what is and is not okay within the garden.

I am still pretty upset and maybe even somewhat traumatized about all the previous times they've fucked me over in scenarios like this. It starts out great and then gets ruined.

edit It looks like I've hit the HN rate limiter, so I'm merging my reply:

Unfortunately I can't go into detail about these scenarios because I don't want to get into trouble with my employer. Suffice it to say that I no longer place trust in Apple keeping anything of value "open".

Thanks, Apple, but no thanks. I'd rather stick with the completely open-source Google Tensor Flow rather than lock myself into any more of Apple's proprietary shit.

I agree that they are similar in some ways, but under the covers they are fundamentally different beasts in almost all ways!!!

Etcd uses Raft and ZooKeeper uses it's own protocol called Zab [0]. Zab shares some characteristics with Paxos but certainly IS NOT Paxos.

Not a huge surprise given the events of late, especially considering they laid off more than a hundred of their employees.

If this is the public slash they are announcing, how bad do you think reality is looking on the inside? Just imagine the spin masters trying to spin this to their employees.

I can't help but chuckle a little. Kids.

That being said, I'll add that there are certainly aspects of this that are not funny at all. Real people lost their jobs due to the tomfoolery of others. I feel for them.

Are you saying that all 100 people got the generous severance package?

I too have been using ZK for many years now, and it's pretty great.

Etcd can provide faster election notifications but it comes at the cost of etcd still being pretty new, so be prepared to get cut by the bleeding edge :)

At least they still publish it. That's worth something, right?

It would be interesting if there were a curated list of recognized industry experts.

E.g. My friend Dathan Vance Pattishall [0] is a MySQL super-expert guru.

How can you justify mapping 'p' to 'pull' rather than 'push'?

I applaud the effort and think it's unfortunate the value add seems so marginal here. This type of thing boils down to mostly personal preference.

Well, I for one wasn't aware of the new functionality in Go and am grateful the author posted about it.

Because otherwise I wouldn't know what I now know!
