Several analytic frameworks have been announced in the last year. Among them are inexpensive data-warehousing solutions based on traditional Massively Parallel Processor (MPP) architectures (Redshift), systems which impose MPP-like execution engines on top of Hadoop (Impala, HAWQ) and systems which optimize MapReduce to improve performance on analytical workloads (Shark, Stinger/Tez). This benchmark provides quantitative and qualitative comparisons of five systems. It is entirely hosted on EC2 and can be reproduced directly from your computer.

The PROXY protocol provides a convenient way to safely transport connection
information such as a client's address across multiple layers of NAT or TCP
proxies. It is designed to require little changes to existing components and
to limit the performance impact caused by the processing of the transported
information.

QUIC (Quick UDP Internet Connections, pronounced 'quick') is a next generation transport over UDP, which aims to reduce latency (goal: 0-RTT connectivity overhead), deliver better multiplexing, introduce packet pacing, error correction, and more. Tune in to learn how QUIC works under the hood, current team progress, and what's around the corner!

The Kasson Mountain Parka is an original Penfield style that has been in the collection since the early 1970s. Little has changed during that time; the durable shell, warm plaid lining and multiple pockets continue to be key features of this this versatile parka.

My Master’s thesis research explored the unlikely second wave of rapid transit planning that occurred at mid-century in the United States. One of those plans, from 1956, proposed a massive rapid transit system for the nine counties of the Bay Area. This transit diagram imagines what the Bay Area Rapid Transit system might have looked like had that vision ever come to fruition. Of course, the chances of this system being built were less than slim. But the response to this map on blogs including Ten Times One, Laughing Squid, Muni Diaries, and Mission Mission make it clear that it the dream, for some of us, is a tantalizing one.

The USB/IP Project aims to develop a general USB device sharing system over IP network. To share USB devices between computers with their full functionality, USB/IP encapsulates "USB I/O messages" into TCP/IP payloads and transmits them between computers. Original USB device drivers and applications can be also used for remote USB devices without any modification of them.

Eldritch has received a good amount of press coverage, from its initial announcement to reviews through the recent release of the Mountains of Madness expansion. I’m grateful for all of it, but nothing has made as big an impact on traffic and sales as being featured on high profile Twitch and YouTube channels. During the month when Eldritch was on Greenlight, I observed large boosts in “Yes” votes after each new feature video.
