dreur — Fri, 22 May 2020 12:49:15 +0000

There is a very recent Jepsen report on MongoDB. http://jepsen.io/analyses/mongodb-4.2.6

> 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.

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.

dreur — Tue, 05 May 2015 16:52:48 +0000

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.

New comment by dreur in "I've mothballed my blog"

dreur — Mon, 30 Sep 2013 20:38:52 +0000

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.

I've mothballed my blog

Any plan on supporting async arrows and activation boxes?

I see myself using sequence diagram when dealing with a really complex process that normally almost always include threading and/or message passing.

Or a simple JQuery Plugin I developed: https://github.com/dreur/JQuery-Showfavicons-Plugin

It adds the possibility to say which hostnames are internal and external.
