I don't have a reddit account, but that is pretty much what etcd was built to do. IIRC it was built for CoreOS to handle lots of linux machines. Later Kubernetes started using it for its metadata storage. It is as a distributed key-value store with clients which can map parts to filesystem, or do pub-sub.

As written in the article talking salaries in Sweden is avoided, so there are probably many offers in that range. The recommendation is for Sweden in general though, not Stockholm. It is for any kind of engineer, where IT is above average.

This might be outdated info:

  * Two different Prestos, prestodb and prestosql for maximum confusion. (I think one renamed)
  * Making Controller highly available by default is hard
  * Autoscaling workers is not simple
  * Code very dependent on its own webframework that tries to do everything and lacks docs.
  * Resource planner for multiple queries is lacking
  * Worker configuration takes a lot of skill
All of these could be solved, but in most cases you can find other solutions where you get a simpler set of problems.

I think so, since v2 and v3 are two different things they made a mess of things. It should have been two different specs. Continuing with docker-compose name is just bad, release any improvements in a clean spec.

Another benefit is it removes a lot of otherwise unneccessary imports.

I think var should be used anywhere where the righthand-side expression is clear. Compare var str = new String(); to var waat = HERE.be().dragons("purple");

And with Spring-like classes like 'StaticFactoryBananaMakerBuilder', declaring the class makes it less readable.

Firefox development process is so bad/slow. New features will take ages to appear. Mercury, Bugzilla are old relics and the review process is from the 90's and very strange. I think that is one of the reasons they copied functions to XPCOM instead of fixing them in NSPR. It was easier to add new stuff than get a review to fix existing code.

Amazon TimeSync is probably a lot more than NTP as well. It must be part of XEN/hw as it is not yet available on the Nitro based instances. That it provide's an NTP endpoint is just the top of the cake...
