Inside India's Aadhar, The World's Biggest Biometrics Database - 0 views

  •  
    So why did Aadhar engage with MongoDB in the first place and will it continue working with the startup? Sudhir Narayana, assistant director general at Aadhar's technology center, told me that MongoDB was among several database products, apart from MySQL, Hadoop and HBase, originally procured for running the database search. Unlike MySQL, which could only store demographic data, MongoDB was able to store pictures. However, Aadhar has been slowly shifting most of its database related work to MySQL, after realizing that MongoDB was not being able to cope with massive chunks of data, millions of packets.

JRuby - The Pain of Broken Subprocess Management on JDK - 1 views

  •  
    I prefer to write happy posts...I really do. But tonight I'm completely defeated by the JDK's implementation of subprocess launching, and I need to tell the world why. JRuby has always strived to mimic MRI's behavior as much as possible, which in many cases has meant we need to route around the JDK to get at true POSIX APIs and behaviors.

Unix History Repository - 0 views

  •  
    commity Kernighana, Ritchieho, Bournea .. The goal of this project is to create a git repository representing the Unix source code history, starting from the 1970s and ending in the modern time. To fulfill this goal the project brings data from early snapshots, repositories, and primary research. The project aims to put in the repository as much metadata as possible, allowing the automated analysis of Unix history. The following table illustrates the type of material that can be gathered and integrated into the repository.

Software delivery is fundamentally broken? | Markus Gärtner - 1 views

  •  
    Cognitive dissonance is the most often cited reason for claims for independent testing teams. IF the tester is part of the development team that created the product, then he will be biased to confirm the product is working.

How Airbnb Improved Response Time by 17% By Moving Objects From Memory To Disk - 2 views

  •  
    the translated strings are stored on the heap, where the garbage collector must scan over the objects on every run (at least in the case of Ruby MRI). For a mature process with all the translations loaded, this is almost 1 million objects! Second, each process has its own copy of the strings.

Zappos says goodbye to bosses - 1 views

  •  
    The customer-service obsessed company calls its executives "monkeys," has staffers ring cowbells to greet guests, and offers new employees cash to quit as a way to test their loyalty. The Las Vegas-based retailer is now going even more radical, introducing a new approach to organizing the company. It will eliminate traditional managers, do away with the typical corporate hierarchy and get rid of job titles, at least internally.

Responsible Refactoring - Naildrivin' - 1 views

  •  
    I'm not going to be talking about the third step of the TDD cycle. Refactoring code that's in development and not currently running on production is something you must absolutely do. Work clean, and write clean code. What we're talking about is changes to existing, running code.

The Twelve-Factor App - 1 views

  •  
    In the modern era, software is commonly delivered as a service: called web apps, or software-as-a-service. The twelve-factor app is a methodology for building software-as-a-service apps that: - Use declarative formats for setup automation, to minimize time and cost for new developers joining the project; - Have a clean contract with the underlying operating system, offering maximum portability between execution environments; - Are suitable for deployment on modern cloud platforms, obviating the need for servers and systems administration; - Minimize divergence between development and production, enabling continuous deployment for maximum agility; - And can scale up without significant changes to tooling, architecture, or development practices. The twelve-factor methodology can be applied to apps written in any programming language, and which use any combination of backing services (database, queue, memory cache, etc).

Leaping seconds and looping servers - 1 views

  •  
    Linux servers displayed a notable tendency to misbehave during the leap second event at the end of the day on June 30. The problem often presented itself as abrupt and sustained load spikes on the affected machines....a look at what happened shines an interesting light on the trickiness of dealing with time in software systems.

    Look at recent Microsoft releases: we don't fix old features, but accrete new ones. New features help much more at review time than improvements to old ones. (That's literally the explanation for PowerShell. Many of us wanted to improve cmd.exe, but couldn't.)
