• What are the differences between Apache Kafka and RabbitMQ (quora.com):

  #Kafka is “less like a queue system and more like a circular buffer that scales as much as your disk on your cluster” and “doesn’t have message acknowledgements, it assumes the consumer tracks of what’s been consumed so far”, while #RabbitMQ “is broker-centric, focused around delivery guarantees between producers and consumers, with transient preferred over durable messages;” while Kafka handles 10+ million messages per second at LinkedIn, RabbitMQ struggles to exceed 1 million.

  #paper purporting to report that THC from #marijuana reverses #dementia in mice. “Here we show that a low dose of Δ⁹-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) reversed the age-related decline in cognitive performance of mice aged 12 and 18 months. This behavioral effect was accompanied by enhanced expression of synaptic marker proteins and increased hippocampal spine density. THC treatment restored hippocampal gene transcription patterns such that the expression profiles of THC-treated mice aged 12 months closely resembled those of THC-free animals aged 2 months.” #medicine
