In addition to your response to the deleted parent, I just wanted to clarify the procedural reasons why this rejection is temporary: Basically this rejection was a result of an "ex parte" re-examination. The catch is that not only does a 3rd party (typically the alleged infringer) get a shot at invalidating the claims, the patent owner also gets to argue back, and if unsuccessful, even to redraft them to be valid again in light of the new prior art. Typically they will be redrafted to sidestep prior art, yet still cover the allegedly infringing products.
groupcache has a couple of differences from memcached that are probably part of why it exists:

- thundering herds suck, so it manages how the cache is filled when a key is missing

- repeatedly retrieving super hot values will eventually exhaust the network pipe of whichever server held, so groupcache replicates hot values to more than one cache server

Since this was built for dl.google.com, the 'value' might be big (say, a chunk of the Chrome binary) and the request rates for the top cache keys probably get pretty high. So, even if memcached is doing good work for lots of folks, the distinct features of groupcache probably address real needs in the app.

And, yeah, groupcache and the dl.google.com rewrite are Go partly because Brad likes Go, but both projects had reasons to exist quite apart from deploying Go for Go's sake.
I'm actually working on this now for an app. The data is for the scores from a golf tournament. When I was that it loaded dynamically, I dug through all the requests using Chrome's developer tools. I was able to find the json that the page was using to load the data which turned out to be easier to deal with than scraping from html in the first place. So if you're running into this problem, try to find the url that they snag the data from in the first place.
From Google Ventures: How To Hire The Best Designer For Your Team
I was not at all clear, but sorry I was speaking of temporary tables, or basically anything intended to be ephemeral. Back in the 6.5 days you could flag tempdb as being RAM resident automatically - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/115050. Load up some global temp tables on db startup and rock and roll.

It made tremendous sense because that's often an area of enormous churn (I saw a ServerFault post or something where someone did this and saw 30 iops to it, wondering why it didn't improve their system. That is nothing. One product I worked on saw literally hundreds of thousands of IOPS, and everything that sped tempdb sped the world).
>I am curious to see if storage will have its 'multi-core' moment. That will be interesting if it happens.

Thank you for the insight and explanation.

I suppose I took issue with your above comment as I saw it "missing the point" of the author; if storage capability keeps growing (even +/- its current rate), it will be extremely cheap by modern economic standards to record...everything.
I've not observed this at all, it must only happen with some exchanges. For me when the phone is hung up, that's it.

Well it is Britain.
I'd be all for it if it could get organic materials to space, including humans, and if it could do so without a rocket stage. The demo videos are really impressive (especially the blowing of the hole through that rug - be careful! Looks like you might have a modern weapons technology here as well) but it seems unstable and not versatile enough payload wise!
I find this pretty interesting. I'm not sure I agree with the point about the phone, though. For me, a phone call is in the chain of escalation, and not an effective communication tool at the lowest level. Consider: it is the most demanding form of communication, allows for little or no transfer of data, hampers our ability to communicate abstractions, and doesn't scale at all. If audio communication is important, then prefer video calling. Still, I find written communication to be the most cost-effective form of communication. It allows for a wide range of expression, can be performed asynchronously, and can be archived and searched for later reference. Phone calls cannot. I even once had a boss for whom I responded in writing when he called with questions or instructions because he wasn't an honest broker, and it was vital to pin him down in writing in every detail.

My preference goes something like this: chat (IM, something custom, whatever), video call (hangout, skype, etc.), email, text, phone call, in-person. Of course the order may vary depending on circumstances - obviously you don't have casual conversation via SMS when out to lunch with someone, or if you work in the same room - but this is generally how I view the value of communications. Phone calls are productivity killers.

This is exactly what is wrong with health care in a free market.

What free market are you talking about? Medicare effectively controls the prices of medical procedures (since insurance companies reimburse non-Medicare recipients on the basis of tables the government puts out). It also controls the number of doctors (it does this by limiting the number of residency slots - see the Balanced Budget Act of 1997). The FDA regulates everything from the development and testing to packaging and marketing of drugs, medical devices and related products. Due to federal regulations, physicians are not permitted to discuss prices with one another. There are countless regulations that manipulate health insurance. And don't forget the 1943 IRS ruling that permanently established the link between health insurance and your employer.

And this is all stuff that's mostly decades before Obamacare. That just scratches the surface. For example, I didn't even mention HMOs, which were created under Nixon via another set of regulations intended to control costs for things Johnson had done.

A free market in health care? If there's one thing American health care has not had in the last 50 years, it's a free market. Sure, it has been slightly freer than in other countries, but that's not saying much.

> Willpower and cognitive processing draw from the same pool of resources.

Like many things in psychology, this is basically unfalsifiable. Our brains have pools of resources? How do you even differentiate between willpower and cognitive processing at a neurological level? It's one model, but there are other equally valid but also unfalsifiable explanations. What about anxiety goes up after working on a hard problem (memorizing a 7-digit number, apparently) - maybe you can test this by measuring cortisol levels - and so you choose the (stereotypically) more satisfying and rewarding dessert (cake) as a form of emotional eating and also, you know, rewarding yourself for a job well done?

I mean, it's basically just saying, "Use your brain, and your brain will get tired. Both solving problems and doing something you don't want to do count as using your brain." Sure, but I hardly need an experiment to tell me that.

Also, what about people who perform better under stress? Since it requires willpower to work hard and meet a deadline, and since the quality of your cognitive processing also goes up (for an initial period), doesn't that defeat the "competing for the same pool of resources" claim?

Psychology is great and a lot of the unfalsifiable stuff is valuable but it's irritating when it's dressed up as science.

FreeNode's use is a bit more extensive than just requiring an email address - you have to create the account from a non-Tor IP, so if you do something bad and get banned, they ban the account (thus preventing further access from you via Tor) and then also have the option of banning the IP that registered the account (preventing it from registering further accounts that will be abused via Tor). If they really want to, they can also ban the email address, but in practice this really isn't worthwhile as it's so easy to get a different one.
Thanks for the feedback! I will work on increasing the visibility of the URLs.

And yes, I got tired of how imgur and other sites worked and so I created this.

> Ideally by alignment of incentives vs regulation

Glass-Steagal seems to have been a regulation that altered the alignment of incentives (separating lending & investment institutions; so they no longer have incentive to create bad loans so they can bet against them).
Weird how you come to that conclusion. Cultural hegemony comes to mind, which is important in analysis of anthropological and sociological studies, claims the exact opposite of this: that the lower-classes emulate and internalize the mores of the ruling class.

Anecdotally, I come from a low income family and witnessed first hand the dissonant beliefs my parents held, that materialistically and socially benefited the rich at our expense, personally, and as a class.

It comes as a real surprise that it is that obvious to you. Are you from outside the United States? Perhaps that may be true in a society that has a shred of class consciousness, but certainly not here.

That's bullshit. A more accurate statement would be that large companies have a lot of momentum and often have the turning radius of an aircraft carrier, but that have absolutely nothing to do with technology choices. The age of "no one got fired for choosing IBM" is over.

At my company, the team using Java+PostgreSQL is twice the size (~120 people) of the team using C#/MSSQL (~60), and the only ones really "stuck" right now re: tech are the ERP folks, because that has such a huge switching cost in the change management/training side of things, not to mention the whole "what do I do with all my legacy data when it doesn't have a natural fit in my new ERP?" problem.
>[1] Note that 128-bit hashes are at best 2^64 complexity to break; using a 128-bit hash is irresponsible based on sheer digest length.

Can a short hash which has not been weakened be lengthened by taking two hashes and concatenating?

fixedSalt = "blah"
longerHash = (salt, input) ->
hash(salt + input) + hash(salt + fixedSalt + input)

Edit: Never mind. Obviously an attacker would only have to break the first half of the resulting hash.

But is there any valid way to lengthen a too-short hash? Not that it's of practical importance; I'm just curious academically.
It's also great for setting up three way phone calls. Man, just had a flash back to primary school!
Good point.

It's also worth noting that healthcare costs in most of the developed world, while lower than the US system, continue to increase substantially.

However, what you are saying raises the question of how on earth a system can be constructed where people shop around for health care.

Any ideas?

> How do you propose to make exceptions work in the presence of large number of cooperating goroutines?

Exceptions propagate up the call stack within a goroutine, and then, if not recovered within the goroutine that raised them, crash the whole program.

(I cheated a bit -- that's how go already handles exceptions, which it calls "panics". The difference between go and, say, Java is that the core and standard library don't panic as much as Java's throws exceptions, leaving the decision to panic to user code more often.)

Well, I didn't intend to get in that sort of debate either, so that's fair. Yes, I definitely agree that open mindedness is a big difference between those two groups. However, I bet it's just a matter of closed-minded people tending to prefer A, and open-minded people tending to prefer B, rather than A creating close mindedness.
Do you believe that stating a problem clearly has no value? What about identifying the 'correct' problem?

If you believe someone has the same goals as you, but is attempting to solve the 'incorrect' problem, is it pointless to point out the discrepancy?

> So what? C10k isn't a hard thing to do on the JVM

It is using the traditional threading model, which is all it had before NIO came along.

> Your point is ...?

My point is if Scala's synchronous API was compatible/built on an event based system or green threads, then the far less attractive callback based API would not exist. Just like Go doesn't have callbacks...what would be the point?

> Use the right tool for the job.

Go doesn't claim to be good at everything. If you want great traditional multi-threading then by all means use Java. If you want a highly-scalable network engine with code that doesn't look like spaghetti, use Go.

> The lack of developers which run around and try to tell everyone that they found the silver bullet for solving concurrency in Scala is a sign of a mature community

I don't don't hear many Java programmers running around complaining about hand-editing reams of XML either...I still don't envy them.

> Claiming “A is the best, because B is even worse” just shows a complete lack of knowledge of existing solutions.

I don't think Go is "best", and I already gave you examples of other synchronous, event-based languages (you still haven't shown me an example in Java/Scala). I actually prefer Python/Gevent for most things.

> Do your research instead of claiming blatantly false things.

Well I think the onus is on you to provide some evidence to back up your claims.
Although it looks a lot like Bootstrap, the code is very different. For one thing they really do use LESS. The code is full of variables and mixins, much more than Bootstrap. The custom Javascript Core is interesting too.

For years Microsoft-sponsored SQL Server consultancies have been telling us to use the database to its fullest extent. Use Stored Procs and non ANSI SQL features, they're fine! Logic in the database? We love that.

That's what ISVs and Enterprises are being told to do and that's exactly what they've done, at least the ones who couldn't see Microsoft's business angle. Now many are left to choose to either accept Microsoft's ever-increasing licensing costs or a high cost to switch.

I agree with @BrentOzar, time to find other options.
Basically it's 15 years behind Java in this regard this is fanboysm or just ignorance.

It does not matter how sophisticated GC code is when you have millions of tiny objects from from crappy Java code with useless copying and referencing. This is why it uses so much memory.

It is very difficult to find any worse thing that Java in terms of wasting of memory. Take any Hadoop none and measure the ratio between memory used by Java processes and amount of actual data stored in memory. Near factor of 2?
I would guess that SQL Server has been getting more expensive largely because the people who decide these things see themselves as competing with Oracle more than with free alternatives, and (I believe) SQL Server is still cheaper than Oracle.

IME, large firms (including government agencies) don't like not having a support contract in place for key infrastructure.

They don't seem to mind open source as such, and will use open source without support contracts for tools that aren't key infrastructure (or for libraries for internally-developed software), and probably wouldn't mind open source with a support contract for key infrastructure (but for a lot of things, proprietary s/w vendors are just better at selling support than the people selling support for open source software.)

That explains the pricing of Enterprise, but not the crippled memory (64GB) or the lack of decent features in Standard Edition. Standard doesn't compete with Oracle - or if it did, it would get laughed out of town for a 64GB memory limit.

Standard used to be a gateway drug that would get people hooked on good-enough performance and easy-enough management, but these days, crippled with $500 worth of memory, I don't think that reputation's going to hold out.
