You're a corporate shill and a twit. Who cares what you think is up to date.

glad I am not your cable tech — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 17:58:39 -0000

FYI,
I work for a cable company in NC and your perception is a little off in regards to cable cards. First of all, cable cards were all the rage a few years back...... but there were a huge amount of problems with them. For example- people thought if there was a problem, they could just pull out the card and call the cable company about it; not knowing that the way the card is installed as well as removed is important. Also, not every manufacturer of cable card ready devices has a "preset" box....... this causes problems that are difficult to express how to fix over the phone..... imagine if you did have a problem.... would you a go back to the store to get another card, bring in the box, or demand a tech come out and fix the damn thing that i picked up at the store..... I understand completely the customer service side of your argument and that I would be pissed about but the reasoning behind chewing out folks for wanting to do things you see as easy (and usually even for a seasoned cable guy like myself are not so easy) is a little below the belt wouldn't you agree?

Re: Thrift and ZooKeeper

chrismoos — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 17:55:35 -0000

I think ZooKeeper is great for service discovery and it isn't too bad to implement the logic. Most languages have a ZooKeeper library so from there it's pretty trivial. Good luck!

Hi.

Nice idea, but do you have any samples? Any news on this approach? Pros and cons?

I'm going to deploy multiple thrift services in a scalable and self-maintainable way, and I'm looking for a out-of-the-box solution (similar to thrift, heh). If there are no such solutions… well… The other way is to make (i.e., to design and to code) my own discovery service, which is not I would like to spent my time on, though it will be interesting and amazing.

So, what's your experience with Thrift & ZooKeeper in the past 6 months? Is it worth it?

Thanks in advance.

/usr/local/bin does not exist on your machine. you can create it, however if this is a single user machine an option is to create a bin directory in home dir, for ex. /Users/{YourUserName}/bin. Don't forget to add that directory to your path, though.

I have Snow Leopard and always error:
sudo mv sbt-launcher-0.7.7.jar /usr/local/bin/sbt-launcher.jar
mv: rename sbt-launcher-0.7.7.jar to /usr/local/bin/sbt-launcher.jar: No such file or directory

any Ideas? Thanks!

You might want to checkout something like: http://tsung.erlang-projects.o...

Also, you can just roll your own test tool, its really just HTTP so it shouldn't be too bad.

Firstv of all, you retarded little fuckwit, Cox has THE worst customer service this side of Verizon, so FUCK YOU CUNT. Cox twists the very people who pay their fucking salary. I bet you work for Cox. Come to think of it, you're a little cox yourself. If you ever got in my face and spewed that bullshit I'd fucking beat you like a rabid gorilla on steroids. Go kill yourself, you little pussy.

Theyb represent Cox. That makes them fair game.

Absolutely excellent summation of the corporate mindset. "Your call may be monitored and/or recorded". "Your call is important to us." "Due to unusually high call volume...". "For English, press one." Policy, policy, policy. The Assholes don't grasp that policy is reflex. It's a bullshit template drones follow until 5 pm in order to cover their asses, because GOD FUCKING FORBID that someone actually THINK their way through a problem. THAT would break my hard little HEART!

Hi,

Thanks for this Erlang example - I'm learning loads from it.

Just one question: if you wanted to stress test the server, how would you do it? Are there Erlang libs that I could use from the command line to simulate a client?

Cox Business Sucks also. To get a line reinstated (not a new one, one that was moved to distinctive ring) it takes 5-10 business days to get someone to call you to set up an appointment and then 5-10 business days for some turkey to come out and turn it on.....Oh my God are they that busy......Wish there was another choice....

COX has the worst customer service I have ever experienced. They made it very difficult to make payments through their system (unless you sign up for automatic payment!!). It is impossible to speak to a human being on their phone system, specially during the weekends.

COX Sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Probably 20 - 40k. It really depends on the hardware. It is an example and doesn't really address things like scaling across multiple nodes.

What do you think... how many simultanious connections can your server handle?
