Jepsen evaluated MongoDB version 4.2.6, and found that even at the strongest levels of read and write concern, it failed to preserve snapshot isolation. Instead, Jepsen observed read skew, cyclic information flow, duplicate writes, and internal consistency violations. Weak defaults meant that transactions could lose writes and allow dirty reads, even downgrading requested safety levels at the database and collection level.

Building sustainable microservices – our opinions and advice 7 years ago

Thanks a lot for this post.

Could you expand on the techniques you use to implement idempotency in your workers/queues and in your rpcs?

I have seen a mix of doing nothing if there is nothing to do, locking, using a idempotency key and so on. But I am always curious to see what others do.

Glimmer rendering engine is landing in Ember Canary today 11 years ago

I am just amazed by all the improvements that Ember has had since I started using it. Definitely shows that relying on a good framework is the way to go.

Also, I feel like the Ember core team is not only innovating in the product itself but in its way of managing all aspects of running an open source project and most importantly in how to grow, respect and help an ever growing community.

A huge thanks to all contributors and every members of the Ember community.

I've mothballed my blog 13 years ago

Poster here, didnt mean any disrespect by sharing this.

I think it shows a lot of strengh and courage doing this. I think most of us will have a moment in our life where we need to experience something new, something else and need more time. Time is so precious.

For me, it is just comforting knowing that it is possible to get out of that loop and that I am not the only one with that pressure.

Adobe Donates Flex to Apache 15 years ago

I do not agree. I believe they did the right thing, now Apache has everything they need to take their decision. That Flex will be less and less supported by Adobe in the years/months to come so they'll probably need to put more resources on the project.

Doing it before would have been wrong and not well received by anyone.

Apache is being forced into a Java Fork 16 years ago

Let put some facts right

* Harmony is already a fork of java. But without the patent grant there is an unknown.

* ASF wanted to pass the TCK for the patent grant and wanted Oracle to get rid of the field of use related to the tck.

* Dalvik is using some of Harmony's code.
