'No Bugs' Bunny

Once upon a time, in a rabbit outsourcing warren of Bunnylore, there was a young software developer bunny. And as a developer, he has had one very unusual treat: he was obsessed with eliminating all the bugs he can get his forelegs on. So, it is not surprising that his friends called him a “No Bugs” Bunny (or simply “NoBugs”).

Later on, he grew up, so he decided that “Bunny” in his name has became inappropriate (not to mention potential arguments with Warner Brothers), so he has asked all his friends to call him “No Bugs” Hare. He has made a career as a team lead and software architect, and they lived happily ever after.

Determinism: Requirements vs Features

posted by

Abstract: Apparently, in practice there is big difference between cross-platform determinism and same-executable determinism, both in abilities they can provide, and from implementation complexity point of view
Quote: “Cross-platform determinism is the strictest definition of determinism I know; not surprisingly, there are quite a few factors which can break it”

Payment Processing. Credit Cards. Chargebacks and Collateral Damage

posted by

Quote: “Chargeback monster will come from under the bed and will eat all your hard-earned money!”
Another Quote: “it is trivial to develop a system with guaranteed zero chargeback rate – to achieve this, it is sufficient to decline each and every transaction at pre-filter stage”

Update on Progress with “Development & Deployment of MOGs” book, and updated ToC too

I have to admit that I neglected to post updates about the progress with my “Development & Deployment of Multiplayer Online Games” book. Sure, new “1st beta” Chapters from upcoming Vol. 2 are posted every week, but any information about the progress of Vol. 1 was available only on Kickstarter and Indiegogo. I am happy […]

Gradual OLTP DB Development – from Zero to 10 Billion Transactions per Year and Beyond

posted by

Quote: “to make an efficient representation usable for OLAP – we need to modify our data on its way to OLAP replicas”
Another Quote: “Each of the DB Server Apps is a replica master, but all replica targets are within the same Replica DB”

Facelift for ‘No Bugs’ – Take 2

posted by

Some time earlier, we have conducted a poll to see which of “No Bug” faces our visitors like better. Unfortunately, results were inconclusive – so, we decided to run the poll again (and promised to do it on Kickstarter too), adding the third face to the mix. Here it goes – your vote for a […]

Representing The Same Data Structure in SQL and NoSQL (from Classical Codd-style SQL to Key-Value NoSQL with SQL-with-XML and Structured NoSQL in between)

posted by

Quote: “while duplication MAY indeed improve performance – undue duplication also MAY hit performance pretty badly”
Another Quote: “NoSQL will usually call for another denormalisation on top of what we’ve described above for SQL-with-XML.”

OLTP. Compiling SQL Bindings.

posted by

Quote: “If we’re speaking about millions transactions per day over just a few hundred of different SQL statements – compiling those statements a million times (instead of a few hundred times) will be a dramatic waste of resources.”
Another Quote: “Once upon a time, I observed the largest C++ file in my career – it was a 30’000-line file(!) consisting merely of ODBC bindings (and that was just for 300 or so SQL statements)”
