  Redis Cluster and Common Partition Techniques in Distributed Cache

In this post, I will discuss a few common partition techniques in distributed cache. Especially, I will elaborate on my understanding on the use of Redis Cluster. Please understand that at the time of writing, the latest version of Redis is 4.0.10. Many articles on the same topic have a different idea from this post. This is mainly because, those articles are probably outdated. In particular, they may refer to the Redis Cluster implementation in Redis 3. Redis Cluster has been improved...

  How Computers Boot Up

The previous post described motherboards and the memory map in Intel computers to set the scene for the initial phases of boot. Booting is an involved, hacky, multi-stage affair – fun stuff. Here’s an outline of the process: An outline of the boot sequence Things start rolling when you press the power button on the computer (no! do tell!).

  Reasons to use blue in design

Blue color is used in many product designs and logo designs such as Facebook, Microsoft, Twitter and our site. Why do companies choose blue color in their design? It's not a coincidence for them to choose blue. One saying is the color blue is associated with trust, efficiency, clarity and simplicity. Beside this reason, are there other reasons? From an interface design standpoint, blue is an incredibly useful color. Among the dark colors designers have in their toolbox, red, orange and green al...

  Send email using PHPMailer on GoDaddy hosting

According to PHPMailer troubleshooting guide, GoDaddy has a very strict rule on sending email using PHPMailer. Popular US hosting provider GoDaddy imposes very strict (to the point of becoming almost useless) constraints on sending an email.

If you find your script works on your local machine, but not when you upload it to GoDaddy, ...

  The Web Is Wrong

The Analogies Are Wrong Originally, web pages were static documents, and web browsers were static document viewers; there was text, some formatting, and images—if you could pay for the bandwidth to serve them. Hyperlinks were the really big thing, because they were the main point of user interaction—but what a powerful thing they were, and still are. Then along came CGI and Java, and the web was transformed: all of a sudden, a web browser became a way to serve interactive co...

  Use DTrace to diagnose gdb issues

A few days ago, I installed the newest 64-bit gdb program (version 7.7.1) on Solaris 10 (X86_64 platform) to debug programs. After playing with the gdb a day, I found 2 issues about gdb:(1) The "set follow-fork-mode child" command doesn't take effect. By default, after the parent process forks the child process, the gdb will track the parent process, so this command can make gdb begin to follow the child process. But this command works OK on Linux.(2) The gdb can't parse the 32-bit application c...

  Fix 'this authentication plugin is not supported' issue while using Go to connect MySQL 8

MySQL 8 has changed its default authentication plugin from mysql_native_password to caching_sha2_password to improve its security. However many third party libraries seem act slowly to catch up with this change. This causes some compatible issues with their connection to MySQL. One of the issues is seen in Go libraries while it's trying to connect to MySQL 8. The specific error has been observed is "this authentication plugin is not supported".

  malloc/free and new/delete in C++

malloc and free are C++/C language standard library functions, while new/delete are operator of C++. They can be used to allocate dynamic memory and free memory in C++ programs malloc/free can not meet the requirements of dynamic objects creation. Object needs to call the constructor to initialize the object when creating, the object needs to call the destructor before it is destroyed  Since malloc() and free() are library functions rather than operators, the compiler has no control permiss...
