If you, effectively, configure it for M responses, you get the same availability.<p>But there are more differences between both setups:<p>- Paxos is master-less, so you can write to any node (there's no need for a master).<p>- Failover is very tough to get it right. Indeed, other than consensus, there are no other bullet-proof solutions to achieve it under any circumstance, so relying on a master is a significant difference.<p>Regarding the extra round-trips and syncs, they can be pipelined if wanted too.

11,500,783 | null | comment | twunde | 1,460,672,546 | Fully agree. Each type of editor excels at different use-cases.<p>vim/emacs. Once you get up to speed, you can type or move around faster than with other editors. The main reason to use these are because you're already spending most of your time in the terminal because you're
a) working in an ecosystem like rails where most of the tooling is run from the terminal b) doing sysadmin tasks like editing config files, running ansible or otherwise writing code over ssh. That's the sweet spot. Once you become comfortable there are ways to extend the editors to basically give them ide-like functionality.<p>Gui-based text editors like Atom, Notepad++, etc. These are the simplest editors to get up and running and have a low level of bloat. You usually don't need to spend time waiting for it to load whereas most IDEs take 1-5 minutes to load up fully. The main reason to use these is ease of use. If you don't need the complexity of vim or an ide, use this.<p>IDEs work best when you are dealing with large codebases, especially if you're not familiar with the codebase or the available functions. I personally maintain ~600k lines of mostly undocumented code at work. It uses a custom framework and was contributed to by dozens of developers. There an IDE is probably the best choice because it will catch errors (made by you or past developers), it will autocomplete function names and best of all, there is a jump to definition feature so you can quickly trace through code paths. After two years of working here I can use vim without too much of a dropoff | null | 11,500,388 | null | [

11,500,786 | null | comment | tptacek | 1,460,672,574 | Your concern here is over moral hazard. You're saying, the law makes landlords liable for theft so that they'll do their duty to secure their building. I'm not arguing this point; moral hazard makes a lot of sense. If you want to argue that Trib Corp should have some negligence liability here, fine.<p>But there is no sense in which that kind of liability mitigates the criminal actions of others. If I go into a building for which the landlord is liable for theft, and I steal $5000 worth of crap (or cause $5000 worth of damage), I'm going to be prosecuted for that if I'm caught, no matter the landlord's liability. <i>Criminal</i> liability isn't shared due to negligence, and when criminal liability is shared (among accomplices and co-conspirators), it's not divided up among the parties --- because that would be silly. | null | 11,500,576 | null | [

11,500,806 | null | comment | loup-vaillant | 1,460,672,847 | Well… I have seen generics that (i) don't blow up the compile times like C++ templates do, (ii) are very simple to use, and (iii) are relatively simple to implement. (I'm thinking of Hindley-Milner type inference and system F.) So when some famous guys state they avoided generics for simplicity's sake, yeah, I tend to assume they missed it.<p>And it's not hard to miss either. When you google "generics", you tend to stumble upon Java, C#, and maybe C++. The FP crowd talks about "parametric polymorphism". Plus, if you already know Java, C# and C++, 3 mainstream examples of generics, fetching a fourth example looks like a waste of time. I bet they expected "parametric polymorphism" (ML, Haskell…) to be just as complex as "generics" (C++, Java, C#).<p>On the other hand, when you study PL theory, you learn very quickly about Hindley-Milner type inference and System-F. Apparently they haven't. Seriously, one does not simply make a language for the masses without some PL theory. | null | 11,499,628 | null | [

People can't typically change their skill-set as fast as technology can be introduced.<p>This doesn't have to be a problem if a country has welfare system mechanism to cope with redundant workers, giving them a line to hold onto until they can re-adjust to the new reality.<p>The problem is when you combine rapid technological progress with small government dogma. That creates a toxic combination where the only winners are the rich.<p>This is unfortunate because when you setup a society this way it causes large fractions of the population to fight technological advancement, free trade and immigration.<p>I think the %1 have to to realize that if people are going to buy into their desired free trade and technological upgrades, then you got to offer something in return.

11,500,816 | null | comment | kbenson | 1,460,673,020 | > we just need JSON, but with a couple things fixed up to make it nicer to use for configuration files.<p>Using JSON for configuration is just the whole situation of using XML for data exchange redux. One of the major points for JSON over XML for data exchange was that it was so much better because it was optimized for data, not markup. Why are we ignoring this argument now that JSON is on the other side? JSON is used for configuration because it's ubiquitous, not because it fits the problem domain well. Let's just choose a more appropriate format.<p>Choosing the most common set of rules for INI files (what is proposed by Wikipedia[1] is probably sufficient) would serve us MUCH better than coaxing a data interchange format into that role.<p>1: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INI_file" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/INI_file</a> | null | 11,500,643 | null | [

11,500,822 | null | comment | yeukhon | 1,460,673,087 | > On the other hand, if someone got hired on for a typical mid-level developer/engineer position without any promises of a research/advanced engineering focus, they need to man up and do their job.<p>I think this is a self-driven promise. Like another commenter said, this is up to your job description. If you work in the research department, you are more likely to do more "innovative" thinking than those who are hired to build a product because your primary job won't be building CEO a search box. "Product" can be interesting or totally banal, whether you are hired to build public-facing application, or internal application.<p>I say research focus is self-driven because unless you work in an extremely "do what I say or you are fire" environment, normally you can tell your lead or the product team how to build or enhance a feature. If you think your automated testing infrastructure looks broken, offer ideas to folks who are paid to build that part of the infrastructure. Sometimes, overstepping into another team's boundary is actually a good way to tell people you are capable of doing more than implementing a stupid drop down menu. IMO a good software engineer begins with you giving a clear analysis of the problem and providing a clear and competitive solution (pros/cons with other solutions). That's research, that's "leading", that's architectureing. As simple as building a drop-down menu, well, are you tired of writing a whole new menu every single fucking time yet? Well, here is a research, here is an architectural change - make that shit reusable and make your template whatever resuable, convince your colleague your suggestion is better than theirs and that they are idiot this whole time. No not that hash, but along that line.<p>And most real research job spend a good portion on writing and doing presentation.<p>Yeah I keep saying implementing a drop-down menu. But why? Because a lot of the tickets will be around enhancing user experience and that can either be very interesting to some, or extremely boring just because. | null | 11,499,949 | null | null | null | null | null | null | null |

11,500,831 | null | comment | PeCaN | 1,460,673,276 | I am not as familiar with Rust as I would like, but it seems like a relatively high-level language, akin to OCaml without garbage collection.<p>When programming Ada my thought process is relatively close to C (but with proper modules and generics). From what little Rust I've used, it was more like an ML—specifically more usage of higher-order functions and discriminated unions (which Ada supports, but is 100x less convenient than ML, but still 10x better than C's struct { enum { } what; union { } val; }; pattern).<p>In general, memory management is more manual in Ada than in Rust as well. Actually, Ada is technically less safe than Rust since you can use Ada.Unchecked_Deallocate to circumvent the accessibility checker and Ada doesn't have an equivalent of the unsafe { } block. But you almost always use RAII and memory pools and Unchecked_Deallocate for C types gets hidden in a RAII wrapper. Additionally, fat pointers are opt-in (though roughly as inconvenient as thin pointers), which can be useful for very low-level code. I believe Rust's pointers are always fat?<p>Also I went ahead and checked Rust performance again. I didn't realize you'd gotten so fast. Ada, like FORTRAN, does not allow pointer aliasing by default (there's an ‘aliased’ type qualifier though), so theoretically it can generate faster-than-C. Embarrassingly I don't actually know how alias analysis works in Rust, so maybe you have this advantage too. | null | 11,500,006 | null | [

11,500,850 | null | comment | xg15 | 1,460,673,673 | I'm glad we have the same opinion then - as I said, it's not very useful to reason about "perfect safety".<p>It's certainly possible to make a product "safer" then necessary and hinder utility (though I think "safety" is the wrong concept to look at here - see below) but if the common opinion of your product from tech-illiterate people is "complicated and scary", I think you can be pretty sure that you are still a long way away from that point.<p>In fact, some versions of rm <i>do</i> add additional protection against root deletions, e.g. the --no-preserve-root flag. What utility did that flag destroy?<p>I believe if you really want to make people more tech-literate (which today's apps are doing a horrible job of, I agree), you have to give them a honest and consistent view of their system, yes.
But you also have to design the system such that they can learn and experiment as safely as possible and can quickly deduce what a certain action would do <i>before they do it</i>.<p>Cryptic commands, which are only understandable after extensive study of documentation, and which oh by the way become deadly in very specific circumstances don't help at all here. | null | 11,500,587 | null | [
