Hey, it's HighScalability time:
- Two billion documents, 30 terabytes: Github source code indexed
- Quotable Quotes:
- David Krakauer: We fail to make intelligent machines because engineering is about putting together stupid components to make smart objects. Evolution is about putting together smart components into intelligent aggregates. Your brain is like an ecosystem of organisms. It's not like a circuit of gates.
- @spyced: At this point if you depend on EBS for critical services you're living in denial and I can't help you.
- @skilpat: TIL Friedrich Engels, not Leslie Lamport, invented logical clocks in a 1844 letter to Karl Marx
- Dan Geer: Risk is a necessary consequence of dependence.
- @postwait: OS Rule 1. The version of /usr/bin/X you want today will never be what your OS ships. Use /keep/your/shit/to/yourself/X instead.
- @antirez: the moral is: "Hey, that's a completely harmless commit about error reporting! It will never affect behavior". hehe
- Robert Scoble: My next-door neighbor was on the first iPhone team and he told me he almost killed himself working for Steve Jobs, because he demands so much from you. He did not take substandard performance, and he would keep you up, and he would call you on a Sunday when you’re having family time … and essentially randomize your whole life
- LOL. Interview with an Ex-Microsoftie: "Program Files", is that one of yours? —Sure is. I thought, "This is where we'll put the programs. On the file system. And since they're gonna be made out of files, I'll stick the word "Files" on the end. With a space in the middle. People are going to be typing this all the time, so they'll want it to be as long and descriptive as possible."
Don't miss all that the Internet has to say on Scalability, click below and become eventually consistent with all scalability knowledge...
