CvRDTs are (almost?) as general as they can be

What are you talking about, and why should I care?

Now that we live in the Big Data, Web 3.14159 era, lots of people want to build databases that are too big to fit on a single machine. But there's a problem in the form of the CAP theorem, which states that if your network ever partitions (a machine goes down, or part of the network loses its connection to the rest) then you can keep consistency (all machines return the same answer to

In http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/row-level-isolation and
http://www.datastax.com/dev/blog/atomic-batches-in-cassandra-1-2, Datastax
asserts that batch updates to multiple cells in a single row are 
guaranteed to be isolated from concurrent batches:

"Cassandra 1.1 guarantees that if you update both the login and password in the
same update (for the same row key) then no concurrent read may see only a
partial update."

"...the guarantee is that the new login cannot be persisted without the new

Elixir on Erjang

The last few weeks I've spent some night hacking time to get Erjang to be able to run Elixir. Here's a short note on the current status for those interested.

The bottom line is that we can now boot the Elixir REPL, it looks like this:

This describes my basic Arch Linux installation on my Chromebook Pixel.

Note: I'm a coward, so I installed Arch to an SD card instead of wiping out the existing SSD.

Requirements

• SD card. A very minimal Arch installation with XFCE will need about 2GB, so I think 4GB is the minimum you can get by with.
• Arch installer on a USB drive. The 2013.05.01 is broken with the recent netctl change. So either get an older or newer one.
• Some Arch Linux familiarity.
• Time, patience, and good eyesight.
