If it interests me, it should interest you.

Anything I like and want to remember.

Anything you unknowingly wanted to know for a long time.

Note: If you think you know something that could interest me, feel free to submit, though I reserve the right to remove it if I'm not interested. No hard feelings.

A similarity between the CAP theorem and our heart (twitter.com/dvassallo) (news.ycombinator.com)

This is the HN discussion about this lengthy piece on twitter.

The gist of it is that there are a number of pace-making structures in the heart and all of them act independently for maximum availability. If communication breaks down (akin to a network partition) between those structures, they err on the side of availability and trigger a heartbeat.

Ergo, the heart is AP, consistency is discarded for availability and partition tolerance.
