A full metrics/monitoring/alerting solution and a metrics storage engine are two different purposes. (The first one being solved by the latest SaaS tools, including dataloop.io).

I limited the previous message to the monitoring use case because it is already quite long and a topic of it's own but I'd like to address the storage as well.

There are many reasons one would need a time series database for an application. In which case he'd need that kind of comparison.

---

There are a few things which I'd like to see about storage systems:

- What kind of features does it have to compress and/or aggregate data? Does it have any?

Some systems can take 4 bytes per int, other can take 50. Some can store diff, some do not... That makes a huge difference.

- Can it cluster horizontally? Also, does it scale write horizontally?

We can have 50 CPU systems with 10TB of SSD array noawadays, but we probably won't. It's actually rather challenging to scale vertically on AWS/GCE (not so much on softlayer), not to mention the nightmare of having a single point of failure for maintenance and issues.

I suppose we get that with the read/write number per 1 node and per 5 nodes systems, which brings me to the next point.

- The performance numbers are somewhat misleading IMO.

You say yourself that you didn't do benchmarking. You're just taking some random facts you found on the internet and showing that as data.

- You should include the versions of the database in the table. Features change over time.

- Are you backing and contributing to DalmatinerDB? For some reasons, the link between dataloop and dalmatinerDB wasn't clear to me on the first read. (Not to mention, you're not even advertising your product or your company).

- How much of DalmatinerDB magic is based on ZFS? Does it actually need ZFS to run?

As far as I remember, ZFS is still a BSD/Solaris citizen only. (And don't tell my that it's coming into the next ubuntu release, it's just an hypothetical future until actually done ;) )

Anyway. It's a welcomed comparison. Good work =)

> our real competition is open source with 90% of the addressable market using older tools like Nagios etc.

An interesting point of view. I personally consider 90% of the nagios market to not-be-a-market at all. It belongs to people who only uses it because it's free (as in no-money) and can be downloaded easily.

Free automatically brings the students, the amateurs trying things in their garage/homelab, micro deployment where it's enough, many companies and people who simply don't value their time or the quality of what they deliver, and finally all who have no money whatsoever or can't go through the hassle of the buying-stuff department.

OK, OK. I'm sorry. This is most certainly, however, similar to any other website out there that uses real identity; don't let me get everything muddied by trying to compare real identity web to the anonymous web.

Lol? I don't even. There's so many die-hard Facebook haters out there. Go build open source applications that do what Facebook is offering and does it better and before you know it the company should be gone. I'm solely basing this on the amount of comments I see for people coming out against Facebook, rather than ever for it (or even just playing devil's advocate). It seems to always be a circle jerk.

Ask HN: Should I let clients delete their data?
For a SAAS product i'm building I was wondering how to handle data deletion. When a user clicks to delete a record, should I actually remove that record from the database, or should I flag it for deletion, so that the record no longer shows, but it is retained.

The reason I thought of doing this is in case a support request coming through along the lines of "i deleted this by mistake, please help". In this case, changing a field in the table would be much easier than restoring a backup and then writing a script to put the data back into the live database.

Is this a good approach? An alternative to having a delete flag would be moving records to a deletion table, but that seems more work. Obviously, if a client doesn't request a deleted record to be restored after a certain period of time, the record can actually be deleted (via an automated process).
But thats the catch 22. Macroscopic objects are only classical because they have their hand in the river of interaction non stop. Only the smallest butterfly can manage to remain coherent and uncollapsed.
From what I've experienced, most people don't have a "passion" coming out of high school. They figure they're pretty good at math, enjoy computers, and CS pays well, so they might as well major in that. So, it's not quite a money grab, but it's not based on a passion/hobby either.

There are particularly many part-time workers in Denmark, and flexibility of labour market is high (including close to zero protection from layoffs), and this has resulted in Danes working fewer hours per worker than other Western nations (1490 hours per year per employee on the average) but on the other hand the labour marker participation rate is very high, so Danes work more hours per capita than any Western nation.

Those estimates aren't particularly insightful. In the case of fusion, a group could make a manmade net-positive fusion reaction tomorrow and we could still be many years away from mass commercialisation. The reason '20 years' is given when the real answer is 'we don't know' is to encourage investment. 20 years is the carrot on a stick used to get funding for the fundamental research required at this stage. I'd suggest the figure is chosen as it's at the outside edge of something that'll make an impact within the average investor's lifetime, though this is speculation on my part.

Also, when it comes to fusion, I suspect we'd be much closer to fusion energy generation if the bulk of funding hadn't been put into a single basket (the tokomak approach). There are promising fusion approaches that are closer to achieving net energy from fusion than tokomaks that are massively underfunded in comparison.

Yeah, I just meant QM as meaning the semi-classical version. Making QM work with SR requires moving to QFT/"second quantization".

You can presumably create particle-like quanta with a creation operator that creates particles in position space vs momentum space. The particle then won't have a definite momentum in that case, so there's still an extent problem at least in configuration space. If there is an ultraviolet energy cut-off then you end up with problems as well.

I think we perceive living in a position space more than we feel we live in a momentum space. We would prefer things to have a definite position more than we care about them having a definite momentum. The fact that they are conjugate observables is the troubling part.
> That makes them French, not Arabic then.
The problem is somewhere in that distinction I imagine.

Yes, precisely. To recap very roughly: France brought in a lot of cheap labor from North Africa (a lot of Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria) to rebuild and develop at low cost after World War 2. These immigrants were housed together, at the periphery of large cities (what are now known as "banlieues"). These neighborhoods still exist, and a lot of the children and grandchildren of these immigrants still live there. These areas are typically poorer than the cities they're next to, have poor education, higher crime rates, etc.

Of course, they're French citizens, but they don't feel particularly French because the rest of French society tends to look down on them and segregate them. And they might speak a bit of Arabic at home (or not), but they don't really feel Arabic because, well, they've spent their whole life in France, and even if they go to Tunisia/Morocco/Algeria/etc. a few weeks in the summer to visit extended family, people there don't see them as belonging there anymore.

It's a thorny situation.
If people write cards instead, it could be called the "French Letter" (but that has a different meaning to British people).

If true, this doesn't account for the other courses where fraud has been committed and money did exchange hands. I had no code, I paid real money for something. Maybe it was a v similar course; I've not been near my login password to verify this is the exact course I joined (was last winter), but I have a good memory for titles. I could be wrong and joined a different course, but I suspect Udemy might be lying about that, since the course was open to other registration!
Google recruitment mistakes: part 3
I did a unit at university learning C at the beginning of the year and you sound similar to my lecturer. We used VIM, no fancy IDE's and we had to compile our code in the command line using flags such as -ansi -Wall -pedantic and would be marked down even if we had warning for not following the coding conventions. Same goes for allocating any memory we did not free, etc and to illustrate how to use debugging tools such as gdb, valgrind.

Was a tough unit that definitely did not hold your hand (I had done a lot of Java before that which handled things like memory allocation for you along with a much more forgiving teacher) but I am grateful I did the unit and really enjoyed the harder-approach my lecturer took.
Most organizations don't see this as a valid vulnerability. If you read terms of most bug bounty programs, they almost always specify that window.opener is out of scope.

To the number crunchers, Python 3.* offers no compelling reason to move (except for threats, "you are on your own now, 2.7.* will not get updates"). I see two compelling advantages that 3.* offers (i) better abstractions for asynchrony (ii) UTF strings (that exacts a cost even if you don't need them). If you don't need these two there I see no technical reason to move (political/social reasons yes, technical not really).

The transpose "trick" should work the same way and have similar beneficial cache effects. Manually unrolling the sdot loop should probably help, too. Vectorized intrinsics are also available from .NET, so that should work as well: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh977022.aspx

programming is subject to fashions just like everything else.

every few years something comes along and eventually gets recognition, then a following and then it becomes the 'one true way of doing things' and those that don't do it are mocked as out-of-date, old fashioned or clueless.

and then in another bunch of years, after the 'one true way' has been applied everywhere it shouldn't be, people point of the flaws and the cycle starts again with a new thing.

Here is the opinion of someone who makes a strong normative claim, that not lacking merit, is typical of one who has had more time to think. The naive idealism of motivating us" computer science" people to solve non-trivial problems is in stark contrast to an industry that that is lucrative to the extent that it satisfies the facile needs of millions of relatively unintelligent, complacent users.

As long as there is a market demand for these little apps, enterprise consumers and shitty little ventures millions wills be invested here and greedy companies and stackeholders will profit. Fuck the poor and ambitious ideas. There is money to be made!

I am the same way, however I would not want it to be otherwise. A "slow thinker" sounds very negative but in reality there is just more gaps between thoughts, gaps in which you are true to yourself and this moment.

A new sight or sound arises, and in the first moment of perception, there is a brief cessation in the habitual stream of thinking. Consciousness is diverted away from thought because it is required for sense perception. A very unusual sight or sound may leave you "speechless", even inside, that is to say, bring about a longer gap.

The frequency and duration of those spaces determine your ability to enjoy life, to feel an inner connectedness with other human beings as well as nature. It also determines the degree to which you are free of ego because ego implies complete unawareness of the dimension of space.

When you become conscious of these brief spaces as they happen naturally, they will lengthen, and as they do, you will experience with increasing frequency the joy of perceiving with little or no interference of thinking.

Inner space also arises whenever you let go of the need to emphasize your form-identity. That need is of the ego. It is not a true need.

I would very much recommend Eckhart Tolle's "A New Earth" if you want to read more and achieve freedom.
2,3: Or just use make and use OS package managers. Don't make the users learn yet another tool.

The niche of C is Unix, which is here to stay. C is a part of Unix, it's interfaces are defined in terms of C, and plethora of libraries written in it. If a random library X is impemented in C, it is easily usable in many languages via FFIs. Programs written in C are easily portable to most popular platforms, and C knowledge is transferable from supercomputers to tiny embedded devices. C translates nicely to assembly, and it maps easily to mechanics of computing. These are the areas where languages like Zig need to penetrate.

The same can be said about interal interfaces with only one implementation. If there is really a need for an interface then why not add it later until it's actually needed it instead of creating additional overhead for something we may never need?
Definitely interesting. The best visualisations can encode information in multiple dimensions though, often as high as 5 or 6 (Minard's graphic of the march of Napolean is probably the most well-known example, encoding data in about 5 dimensions I think: https://images.thoughtbot.com/analyzing-minards-visualizatio...)

That linking logic is an interesting point though... you almost need a Flow-like system that can link the data display of one visualisation to another (or all the others). A tool like that would be very useful.
Of course, since we're developers, we will automate this task with a 3D-printed WD-40 injector plus filling level indication for the dashboard.
I have tried teaching TDD to complete beginners (mandated curriculum), and it was a disaster. Unfortunately, only a few students were able to write tests that meaningfully deviated from the examples we discussed. The issue is they were struggling with writing the main routines themselves. So, writing tests that did nothing initially (and gave no feedback) was very difficult. They often could not tell if they were doing it correctly.

> I feel like we are getting to a scary place in society when you can spin funding a successful lawsuit into suppressing free speech.

It's not spin if it is true: a suit does not need to be successful to ruin the targeted victim - simply defending yourself from a lawsuit costs a lot of money, good luck defending yourself from a well-resourced nemesis.

Without commenting on Gawker's culpability, I will draw parallels to Mother Jones, which was also sued by a billionaire[1] (Vandersloot), but they managed to beat the suit.

Incensed, VanderSloot set up a million dollar fund available to pay the legal expenses of people wanting to sue Mother Jones or other members of the "liberal press."[1]

MoJo even weighed in on Thiel v Gawker, stating For the likes of VanderSloot, Adelson, Thiel, and Trump, the courts have become an avenue not so much for vindication, but for exacting a price[2]. They've been in the trenches, I'll take their word over people who assume only the guilty get punished by the justice system.

The standard library isn't namespaced. If you want to use a stdlib function inside an NS, you can without issue. If you want to use a stdlib class, or any top level class, it needs backslash before its name or you need to import it.

There is a community move towards a standard namespacing with PHP-FIG. This is useful and we are seeing lots of progress on internals thanks to the work by the community.

Like a lot of things, PHP name spaces are or were a big mess. Lots of progress is being made to improve though I think a lot must remain.

I've thought about creating a project that packages up various categories in the stdlib into namespaces with consistent inputs and outputs. That would be nice but the process isn't a lot of fun.
