it was indeed a piece of shitty code. Linus has right to protect his baby.


Is this one trying to do something that Kafka does? Or this is a different beast?


it's a shame


stay away from satellite industry.


the name feels sick


interesting to see this.


the title of his blog"Facebook's software architecture" is misleading. actually these papers are talking about data storage and database. not "software architecture." Though, his blog is informative and consistent. Love it!


Digital data and information storage is not a component of a software architecture? Of course it is, and anyone working on a similar project would need to include these layers in their architectural specifications.


One could argue that software architecture is the inner structure of an application, i.e. the libraries, modules, classes, functions and, most importantly, their interfaces. The GOF design patterns are purely a matter of software architecture, for example.

System architecture on the other hand describes the different applications/services that compromise a system, including the ones that you write yourself, plus the ones that you just "use", e.g. database, storage, load balancer, etc.

I would argue that the article mostly talks about system architecture with focus on storage and I guess the parent you replied to would too.


is JS the only lang you support?


yes, at the moment at least


I was Dr.Demirbas's student. So pleased to see his article on HN front page. Such a great memory in his class and seminar. Back in days, he held a course called distributed system seminar. In one semester, we read and discussed 28 distributed system related papers. This gave me a whole new level sense of this interesting field. Thanks Murat.


what 'negative' are you guys talking about? I just noticed your system gave several keywords for one article. What's about positive/negative? thanks


I was referring to the smileys displayed next to each article, which were probably meant to indicate sentiment.
