Hah, my requirements are very minimal right now. I would say that in the greater context that one of the important things for people using postgres would be plugin support for e.g. postgis and logical replication(which is not a builtin for postgres https://2ndquadrant.com/en/resources/pglogical/).

Never having to worry about vacuuming manually would be pretty sweet, and having some level of access to the host to install e.g. vividcortex would be nice.

Not having to worry about pgbouncer would also be nice (though that means postgres pooling on your web hosts, sort of separate from the hosted postgres bit).

Also, I suppose obvious warnings when I'm near IO or storage limits would be swell

If casting from an integer type, this loses precision. Why would this make tests pass? Are there any secondary effects? The author apparently made no effort to find out.

I know how to run it myself, it's just easier to not. I prefer the set-and-forget solution for smaller projects.
unsigned long long if you want at least a 64-bit unsigned.

uint64_t if you want a fixed-length 64-bit unsigned (and your compiler is at least C99, but I think long long came with C99 too).

Note that unsigned long is at least 32-bit, so it could be 64-bit too, there is no guarantee it is exactly 32-bit.

Because the alternative: generating the primes at compilation time with a template functional expression would be too slow, and quite possibly would explode the compiler's memory limits. (No Turing Machine here), and doing it at run-time or deliverying it as a "resource file" is obviously out of the question.
Not yet but I expect that pretty soon given that they earmarked $1Bn. for international expansion. Footprint so far is East China (2 regions), North China (2 regions), South China, Hong Kong, Singapore, US East, US West.

SEEKING WORK / Remote, New York, San Francisco, travel possible

I'm a full-stack web developer with lots of experience bringing new applications to market and helping to reduce technical debt on existing projects. I thrive under tight deadlines and can help to build refine ill-defined projects into successful MVPs.

Some recent projects I've built include an analytics pipeline processing 300M+ events a day on Docker/AWS, an automated platform for managing Bing & Google advertising, and a sales/qualifying tool for real estate investors.

In terms of technologies, I excel with Python, JavaScript (including Node, React, and Angular), PHP, and Docker/AWS.

Hey HN folks,

Elasticsearch has one of the most powerful query DSLs with support for 100+ search APIs ranging from full-text search to geo queries to range filters. At the same time, there is a very high learning curve associated with using Elasticsearch's JSON API.

Our goal with Mirage is to simplify the Elasticsearch APIs by providing GUI blocks for queries. It should also be an ideal resource to learn the ES query DSL as it transforms queries on-the-fly and comes with an in-app documentation browser.

Our current coverage of the DSL and future roadmap - https://github.com/appbaseio/mirage#3-roadmap.
Just FYI, we recently lowered our prices on Preemptible VMs [0], so now is a great time to come over ;).

I haven't found anyone that loves bidding with Spot, and while I respect the ClusterK guys for the improvements they've brought to it, my hope is we convince them to move towards a fixed price as well. It's just simpler for customers.

Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud, and launched our Preemptible VMs product.

This is what actually happened before the relevant regulations were put in place.
Every single person who advocates or speaks in a visionary way about a new belief, cause, or theory is a prophet. Silicon Valley is full of prophets trying to profit from making their internal view an external view for all of us.
The terrible part of the WeChat's world is quite simple, it's a very private network piggybacked on the open internet. Even worse, unlike facebook, it's poorly moderated in the 'Chinese Way'. As for privacy/security concerns, WeChat is doing better than most of its counterparts in China, and let's just limit our scope in China.

The domestic criticizes about WeChat is mainly in these aspects:
1. Using WeChat for Work, I have ZERO idea why people just did this, but even in my workplace, it's a common practice. It sounds unprofessional and risky to use an external tool for work purposes.

2. Lack of Openness, the only successful crawler works with WeChat is Sogou's search engine. Indexability is just the beginning of the issue.

3. Lazy moderation, rumor, pseudoscience, (domestic) copyright infringement articles are just everywhere and non-stoppable. WeChat officials said to put some force to stop these, but their 'official account hasn't been updated for ages. Maybe it's just what 'Chinternet' is like.

4. WeChat is a network of people you known in the 'outside world', friends/family/co-workers, this part just as bad as facebook.

There's also an awesome part about WeChat, the payment. WeChat got into payment business not long ago in a traditional measurement of time. A few years later, can you imagine that you can buy vegetables with WeChat/AliPay? Back in my college days (2009), it was a Country where only some decent restaurants, chain markets accept debit/credit cards. WeChat is accepted everywhere now, only and offline.

Speak of payments, there's one thing to add, you can check out how Alipay, a payment app, like PayPal are so much into communication business that flooded its app with all the SNS crap, even made friend suggestions based on who you had transactions with. I uninstalled the app immediately after they demonstrated their determination in the social network business, creepy.

Not only WeChat is the only choice of social network on the go, but also it's a quite predictable software, more decent than most of its competitors. So I think this is more than just the "Convenience weighs more than risk mgmt" scenario, more likely something weighs more than 'Der Freiheit'.
In my experience, Mockito never actually gets to that point, because my program has called an unmocked stub, tried to use the return result, and NPEd in an obscure and hard-to-debug manner before verification call.
I feel like a lot of people here don't understand this because they've never been poor in America. I would never want to deny help to someone who needs it, but as most of these social programs are structured, they're a trap. I was poor for most of my life. It was making the conscious decision to not be poor, making a plan and working my ass off that let me get out of poverty. Nothing got in my way other than my own ability to succeed. Nobody tried to stop me (well some friends and family were less than encouraging, but I'm used to that).

So people read your comment, and it sounds like a fiction to them, hence the downvotes.

N.B.: Yes I took education loans made available by the government. But most of it wasn't subsidized since it was my 2nd bachelor's degree, and the rates on that stuff is usury currently. I don't really want to get into a debate about that stuff, but just mention it as I figure somebody might ask. In a world without readily available loans, I would like to think I would have just made a different plan.
San Francisco - Streak (https://www.streak.com/careers) | Profitable and growing | Tech Leads (Backend, Mobile and Front-End) | ONSITE | H1-B Transfers welcome

Here are the hard problems you'll work on here at Streak:

Sales Autopilot

We want to do for salespeople what autopilot did for pilots. We will suggest to sales professionals the actions they need to take next to close deals. They'll instead need to monitor our "autopilot" system and manually override only when needed. Unlike most AI startups, we can actually build this - we have 100M+ datapoints of sales professionals manually closing deals to make the training actually possible.

Email Graphs

We're building systems to better understand how organizations communicate with one another. Email is currently siloed into individual user inboxes, we're building a graph database containing every email message in our users' inboxes to give them insights into how their company communicates with their customers.

Reverse Engineer Gmail

We strive for deep integration with Gmail, because that's where our users live. Our integration has to be seamless, deep, performant, resilient and secure. It's such a hard problem, even our competitors use our tech (InboxSDK). We're doing it next for Inbox, Calendar, and more.

Outside of the hard problems you'll also have a very large impact, not just on our organization but on our customers. We have the best of both worlds: we're small (6 eng) so no meetings and other big company BS, but are profitable (millions in revenue) with a wide variety of customers that use Streak everyday for hours at a time.

Tech Stack:

Backend is 80% Java and 20% Go (and growing) on Google App Engine (https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2015/04/Streaks-Top-6-T...) and Compute Engine. Front-end is React + in-house framework for handling data synchronization. Full automated end-to-end test coverage of all our features along with a growing set of unit tests to handle edge cases. If it's green you can deploy with confidence (we do many deploys per day).

Apps that stop working because the company folds definitely suck.
I was looking into Event sourcing for a system I built recently, and the tooling just doesn't seem to be that widespread yet. How do you read out of the entire event stream to figure out the current state? While there are tols, they seem to be .net focused. Just didn't seem to be a "standard" answer yet.

We ended up going with microservices that pub/sub events into Kafka, but maintain their own databases. There's another microservice that lets you query past events for statistics.
SEEKING WORK / based in the Netherlands / remote (maybe on-site for a bit)

3x startup founder (1x failure, 1x exit, 1x profitable) looking to do help some companies achieve terminal velocity. I have experience working in/with/founded bay-area companies, so I know the startup drill.

I can build anything in pretty much any language, but my talents are mostly valuable in a lean architecture/team-lead type of role (or setting up the basic architecture).

Have hands-on experience with:

- Been writing code last 16 years

- Have been building companies for the last 8

- RoR / JS/CoffeeScript / React / MySQL / Postgres

- High performance .NET / SQL Server

- iOS development

This posting is more of an experiment to see if I can run into interesting startups tackling interesting problems.

Any takers? :-) wsmsdq@gmail.com

By "~public" I mean stuff that isn't hidden selectively (like you need to be friends to read the feed). So they're just hidden behind a simple-login so facebook has all the data and you can't use a search-engine to search all sites. And everything on facebook is behind a login.

Silicon Valley's politics, overall, lean towards being socially slightly-right-of-centre and fiscally almost libertarian, from the perspective of a Brit.
I drew strange, mostly scornful looks in junior high study hall by laughing at loud over Paper Lion.
You are massively overthinking the problem. The very first system of this type I saw didnt even have a microcontroller. Just an eprom for driving LED array, bunch of TTL logic and two inputs. One linked with 'open doors' switch, the other going to undo switch. And it worked fine for couple of years in a >million city.
I'm often bummed out whenever someone tells me about their problems and I talk to them about solutions or new ways of thinking and they tell me they just want an ear to speak to.

If I weren't empathic I could just shrug but I see people making big life choices over ridiculous assumptions and I'm asked to keep my expert advice to myself.

This article shakes me at my core... perhaps what's best is to be there until things blow up and then swoop in and save the people from an even worse spot.
