Re:Phoenix LiveView 1.0.0 is here on Wednesday December 04, 2024 @10:32AM (#42318421)
I'm grossly over simplifying but I've always thought a cut down version of Replicache[1] functionality would be an amazing logical progression for LiveView. With Phoenix.Component[2] introducing attributes it's perhaps closer to being feasible.

You might appreciate https://github.com/oracle/bpftune which does just that.
From my initial 5 minutes of getting setup with an existing install, it's all fairly easy.

# Requirements

  - lz4
  - zstd
# Building

  git clone https://github.com/hydradatabase/hydra
  cd hydra/columnar
  ./configure
  make
  make install
# Install

  CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS columnar;
The actual extension docs are at https://docs.hydra.so/concepts/using-hydra-columnar
> FWIW, I wouldn't be surprised if the high-performance RDMA networks being put together for AI workloads were the thing that grew into the "next" thing.

Maybe we were just early in giving (HFT) customers RDMA back in ~2007[1][2] but I don't see it entering the mainstream anytime soon. And after a relatively short 20 years of adoption, the "next" thing for hyperscalers is not going to be the next thing for everyone else.

Onivim (https://onivim.io) solved input latency for anyone that felt VSCode was too slow while keeping plugin compatibility. Sadly though the project stalled when the dev had to pay bills (https://github.com/onivim/oni2/issues/3811).

I really appreciate you taking the time to give feedback. It's great to hear from people that have a clear sense of their priorities.

Tbh I think it's beyond reasonable to expect when you're paying for a service that your data (or your clients') isn't funneled into another sideline. And this particular question is great timing for me, so I hope you don't mind me doing a bit of market research and get your feedback on a few things.

- Is this for personal domains or commercial?

- Are the clients 'sensitive' or do you want to protect PII out of principle?

- Do you expect to pay a premium (compared to larger providers) for client privacy?

- For records that have a distribution strategy like round robin or balanced by load, do you expect a client to receive the same result on subsequent requests?

- Is it acceptable to keep (for a record's TTL) a hash the client's subnet and the response for the purposes of only returning consistent records, or do you consider this another flavour of tracking client IPs?

- How valuable are metrics/reporting do you? Is reporting query volume at the ASN or country level enough? Too much?

Thanks.

Re:Dark’s new backend will be in F# on Tuesday November 03, 2020 @11:39AM (#24981219)
The thing that killed any interest I ever had in Dark was the license[1]. It’s beyond vendor lock-in, it’s suicide at an undetermined date.

tldr: Help build it but don’t use it.

You’re throwing a lot of hand grenades over the wall but not backing them up with anything.

I can’t tell if it’s trolling, FUD or just ignorance blinded by arrogance.

There is literally a law in every country that follows the same theme. The UK has the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Investigatory_Powers_Act_2016)... the US uses FISA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Foreign_Intellig... globally there is Five Eyes and SSEUR (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes) working together on information gathering & intelligence sharing which often includes another member harvesting data when local laws don't permit it.

This is not about national security. This is economic retaliation in a long brewing cold war over influence and power, backed by lobbyists who do not like being left out in the cold due to China's protectionist policies.

Call it what it is and I would be surprised if more people didn't support it. But it is becoming far too common for many aspects of politics that are driven by profit or control hiding behind the guise of national security.

What’s the use benefit of this over Firecracker & Ignite (https://github.com/weaveworks/ignite)?
Re:Timestamps and Time Zones in PostgreSQL (2016) on Sunday March 31, 2019 @07:37AM (#19535066)
It sounds like what you're asking for falls under a 'composite type'. So what you could do is something along the lines of:

  CREATE TYPE datetimetz AS (
    dt  timestamptz,
    tz  varchar
  );
Then in your table def you can call your new type to avoid multiple columns:

  CREATE TABLE example (
    id          integer,
    created_at  datetimetz
  );

I'm surprised to see this posted considering Red Hat acquired it 10 years ago, with little industry interest since.
Worth noting that Brexit spiked Rep of Ireland passport applications given that everyone in Northern Ireland is eligible.
