I don't have a reddit account, but that is pretty much what etcd was built to do.
IIRC it was built for CoreOS to handle lots of linux machines. Later Kubernetes started using it for its metadata storage. It is as a distributed key-value store with clients which can map parts to filesystem, or do pub-sub.

As written in the article talking salaries in Sweden is avoided, so there are probably many offers in that range.
The recommendation is for Sweden in general though, not Stockholm. It is for any kind of engineer, where IT is above average.

It is not. If you studied three years at University you should ask for at least 35 300 kr a month before taxes. If you worked for five years you should earn a lot more. See https://www.sverigesingenjorer.se/lon/lonestatistik/ingangsl...
So donate more...
Re:IconVG is a compact, binary format for simple vector graphics
on Saturday June 05, 2021 @12:26PM (#27406371)
IIRC HVIF is designed to render in one pass as well targeting to be both small and fast. It also use non-standard floating point, to be even more compact. And has more than two level of details. So guessing HVIF is a lot better except for tooling outside Haiku :)
Here is an article from 2006 about HVIF: https://www.haiku-os.org/news/2006-11-06_icon_facts/
Re:Why hasn't Presto become industry standard?
on Saturday March 27, 2021 @04:47AM (#26600937)
This might be outdated info:
* Two different Prestos, prestodb and prestosql for maximum confusion. (I think one renamed)
* Making Controller highly available by default is hard
* Autoscaling workers is not simple
* Code very dependent on its own webframework that tries to do everything and lacks docs.
* Resource planner for multiple queries is lacking
* Worker configuration takes a lot of skill
All of these could be solved, but in most cases you can find other solutions where you get a simpler set of problems.

Re:Ask HN: Is Docker-Compose Dead?
on Wednesday November 25, 2020 @04:53AM (#25207549)
I think so, since v2 and v3 are two different things they made a mess of things. It should have been two different specs. Continuing with docker-compose name is just bad, release any improvements in a clean spec.
Re:Ask HN: Whatever happened to Netscape 4.0/5.0 code?
on Friday September 25, 2020 @12:25PM (#24591469)
I think it became the Mozilla web browser.
Later Phoenix was created from Mozilla.
Phoenix was renamed to Firebird.
Firebird was renamed to Firefox.
All of them had NSPR which was the Netscape Portable Runtime.

Re:When to use var in Java 10
on Saturday August 01, 2020 @12:52PM (#24021927)
Another benefit is it removes a lot of otherwise unneccessary imports.
I think var should be used anywhere where the righthand-side expression is clear. Compare var str = new String(); to var waat = HERE.be().dragons("purple");
And with Spring-like classes like 'StaticFactoryBananaMakerBuilder', declaring the class makes it less readable.

Haiku has it own set of API's, that is a bit different than other platforms (message passing, multi-threaded). The UI API's is defined in the Interface Kit. See https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/api/
Here is the code for the Magnify App in Haiku: https://github.com/haiku/haiku/blob/master/src/apps/magnify/...

No mention of IP v6 at all in the post but luckily they did better on their docs at https://1.1.1.1/ It is 2018, IP v4 isn't really something you should use other than as a fallback.

Re:Firefox Is as Fast as Chrome Now, and No One Cares
on Friday December 08, 2017 @02:50AM (#15877346)
Firefox development process is so bad/slow. New features will take ages to appear. Mercury, Bugzilla are old relics and the review process is from the 90's and very strange. I think that is one of the reasons they copied functions to XPCOM instead of fixing them in NSPR. It was easier to add new stuff than get a review to fix existing code.
