Hey, it's HighScalability time:
- Nanoscale: Plants IM Using Nanoscale Sound Waves; 100 petabytes: CERN data storage
- Quotable Quotes:
- Geoff Arnold: Arguably all interesting advances in computer science and software engineering occur when a resource that was previously scarce or expensive becomes cheap and plentiful.
- @jamesurquhart: "Complexity is a characteristic of the system, not of the parts in it." -Dekker
- @louisnorthmore: Scaling down - now that's scalability!
- @peakscale: Where distributed systems people retire to forget the madness: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antipaxos
- @dozba: "The Linux Game Database" ... Well, at least they will never have scaling problems.
- Michael Widenius: There is no reason at all to use MySQL
- @steveloughran: Whenever someone says "unlimited scalability", ask if that exceeds the berkenstein bound
- @nationofminds: "I have infinite MIPS. Unlimited scalability. And zero effing patience."
- Endowing cells with logic and memory: Genetic circuits that process and permanently store information are created with recombinases that flip the orientation of DNA cassettes.
- Search Is Eating The World. The long sought after Nirvana of search and database becoming one may be nigh.
- And you thought scalability didn't pay: Twitter Acquires Palo Alto-Based Scalable Computing Startup Ubalo
- New Finds: @foodfight is an interesting and informative Chef oriented DevOps podcast you may enjoy if that's the sort of thing you enjoy, which you probably do. From which I learned from fellow Way of Kings aficionado Brandon Burton about a new deep systems podcast called Real Talk by James Golick and Joe Damato, who want to talk about things concrete, not like that Hacker News BS.
- I'd love to see the API: The idea we live in a simulation isn't science fiction. Magic anyone?
Don't miss all that the Internet has to say on Scalability, click below and become eventually consistent with all scalability knowledge...
