Re:Parmigiano-Reggiano: Italy's 'practically perfect' food on Monday January 28, 2019 @09:50AM (#19017779)
It's an absolutely delicious cheese, but why write this nutritional nonsense about "perfect food"?
Re:An embedded database written in Rust on Monday May 28, 2018 @07:42AM (#17171902)
That paper is pretty good but it's comparing bw-tree with much simpler in memory data structures. I think bw-tress might work specially well for fast-disk storage.
Re:The Wren Programming Language on Saturday April 28, 2018 @05:47PM (#16949577)
I understand the benefits of a single numeric type, but a type that doesn't support full 64 bits is just painful. It makes documentation smaller and benchmarks look good but often becomes a problem in real usages.
Re:Apple will start paying $21B in back taxes to Ireland on Wednesday April 25, 2018 @05:00AM (#16919709)
This is an insane comment, are you even aware of what's happening?
Re:Blloc – minimalist smartphone on Tuesday April 24, 2018 @02:04PM (#16914983)
Interesting but I'd like way more details before preordering. The extended battery is specially appealing but it needs way more explanation.
Re:Apple open-sources FoundationDB on Thursday April 19, 2018 @01:18PM (#16877793)
This is great news!

Unfortunately it looks like they striped out some important things, notably the storage engine (there's now a sqlite fallback).

Edit: Apparently it was always sqlite as per replies bellow.

Re:Jepsen: Aerospike 3.99.0.3 on Thursday March 08, 2018 @11:39AM (#16545480)
I did in my previous job. It was a good experience except around the time we started seeing corrupt LDTs (Large Data Type). I think a proper solution was never found and they eventually deprecated the feature. I'd recommend it IF you really think you can model your business on top of the KV interface.
It could be a modified JanusGraph frontend backed by DynamoDB.
Re:ApsaraCache: A Redis branch originated from Alibaba Group on Tuesday October 17, 2017 @08:26AM (#15490336)
I wonder if Redis throughput is even a problem in practice. People usually add nodes to get more capacity (memory).
Re:Test Results for AMD Ryzen on Tuesday May 02, 2017 @02:27PM (#14249126)
We should all be, no mater what's your preference, that means lower price (and better motivation for further development) ultimately.
Re:Google/fchan-go: Experimental channel implementation on Friday January 20, 2017 @04:22AM (#13442567)
Rust is a much more community driven project, people contribute what they fell like working on mostly.

Amazing work from the contributors, kudos!
Why hack a blood service system at first place? Oh my. Not that people should hack anything, but this is extra nasty.

Not a paper, but I liked this related article https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11813180

Oh I should have checked that first. Thanks.
Re:Announcing .NET Core 1.0 on Tuesday June 28, 2016 @07:54AM (#11992944)
I find the binary-tree benchmark specially disturbing, it looks like the .NET Core GC/escape-analysis has some catching up to do.
Re:Brexit: Wave of racial abuse follows on Sunday June 26, 2016 @01:23PM (#11981641)
This exit was fueled by misinformation and immigration crisis, I have no idea how Britain's allowed themselves in this hole.

Re:ArangoDB 3.0 Release – A Solid Ground to Scale on Thursday June 23, 2016 @08:57AM (#11960509)
Mad respect for these guys/gals, they managed to squeeze two game changing features in a single release: VPack and Clustering 2.0.
Re:Mozilla Awards $385k to Open Source Projects on Wednesday June 22, 2016 @03:23PM (#11956320)
30K for mio, that's a bold move!
Woa, that's unexpected.
TEXT in mysql doesn't always mean an extra lookup, although at 2kb it will.
Re:PostgreSQL Bloat: origins, monitoring and managing on Tuesday April 05, 2016 @08:02AM (#11429677)
It looked to me that the freeze map allowed vacuum to skip pages not touched since last run, so avoiding a lot of work between runs.
Re:PostgreSQL Bloat: origins, monitoring and managing on Monday April 04, 2016 @10:06PM (#11427288)
Upcoming 9.6 has a great feature to speed up vacuum (thus keeping bloat controlled ).
Re:Tikv: Distributed key value store powered by Rust on Monday April 04, 2016 @11:10AM (#11422445)
I think everyone could benefit from extracting that raft implementation to a crate. I'll see if I can get started on that.
Re:Tikv: Distributed key value store powered by Rust on Monday April 04, 2016 @11:00AM (#11422347)
It's transactional and mvcc, you can't say the same for most KVS around.
He's right about valuing arts though.
This is fairly interesting. Postgres has a lot of momentum going on. I guess there's not stopping someone from building a better neo4j on top of it.
