Which is why Postgres is creeping up on both scylladb and cassandra.

Plus PG 10 will have declarative partitioning built in. Pretty cool.
Using values is faster though as the engine will not optimize on first run. So while you get good results on micro-benchmarks that runs the same code over and over again, you will not get good results in real world as you usually don't parse the same code over and over again thousands of times :P
The site itself looks nice once you get past the initial loading screen, but definitely fix that ugly "learn more" button! It needs more left and right padding, the thickness of the border should roughly match the thickness of the font, and on hover rather that adding an underline just have the background turn orange and the "learn more" text turn white (the typical "ghost button").

Like so:

If you obfuscate it it will run even slower, and it wouldn't be hard to detect the code heuristically and kill it. And in case it does become really hard, you can just kill the network requests so whoever is mining on your PC doesn't get squat.

Serverless Architecture: 4 Things to Know
>>I agree that power shortage is real, but what PM Modi is trying to achieve is spreading electricity to all parts of India.

How do you spread non-existent electricity uniformly to all parts of India. Last time I checked 0/anything is 0. Unless you are saying the prime minister has found a way to defeat laws of mathematics or can magically pull out energy out of thin air.

Frankly speaking I wouldn't be surprised if you believe in this too. Given how much this government is about Marketing.

>>so the scheme is about giving them an electricity connection.

The scheme is nothing. They announce these schemes every few years and then junk them, because of the infeasibility of executing projects of this scale.

>>The problem in India is not power supply, its the transmission.

Its more on the generation part. Rolling power cuts are common during summer even in cities.
Nice project. I was wondering how the street's were back then in 80s and it is hard to find a photo foe every street. Nice job
Maybe we're defining 'scam' differently. I take it to mean a premeditated act of defrauding people by embezzling funds that were received under the pretenses of being spent on development.

I think 90% of projects are poorly planned and reckless expenditures of capital, and will fail. But none of those qualities make them scams. The people organizing said token sales will destroy their own reputation, and no amount of money is worth a person's reputation. A portion of these people will end up attempting to run away with the cryptocurrency they received from investors, and these people, and only these people, should be pursued by legal authorities.

In terms of regulations, I wouldn't mind some generic disclosure requirements for token sale websites, like a simple warning about the highly experimental nature of cryptocurrency and speculative nature of investments in them, but a blanket ban, or a blanket prior restraint type restriction on anything unregistered and unapproved by a centralized gatekeeper? It would be terrible for basic internet rights IMHO, will create a largely counterproductive witch hunt against token sale promoters that will push them further underground where they're less accountable, and will prevent innovation that will produce orders of magnitude more value than the value lost on poor token investments.

> "The Science of Insecurity"

The langsec approach of using formal recognizers that validate the validity of input before processing it in any way (stop creating weird machines!), and designing network protocols that are actually decidable without solving the halting problem (network input must be no more complex than deterministic context-free) should be considered the bare minimum for all network-associated software. It won't solve all security problems, but we should at least be handling the problems we know how to solve. Anything less should be considered severely unprofessional, and at least civilly negligent.

> The web seriously sucks.

Dan Geer discussed his terrifying visions of the future in a recent keynote[1][2]. The suck extends far beyond the web; "Cybersecurity and the future of humanity are conjoined". He gives many examples that demonstrate just how bad the suck is, and how ill-prepared the world is for these looming problems - at any level of society.

> The cumulative effect of the curves for computing, storage, and bandwidth is this: in 1986 you could fill the world's total storage using the world's total bandwidth in two days. Today, it would probably take nine months of the world's total bandwidth to fill the world's total storage, but because of replication, synchronization, and sensor-driven autonomy, it is no longer really possible to know how much data there is. Decision making that depends or depended on knowing how
much data there is is over.

> The execution space on the web today is that the client is the server's server, its bondsman if not concubine. You intake Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) from everywhere and everyone. You are supposed to believe that trust is transitive but that risk is not. That is what Javascript does.

What is the solution?

> To be deadly serious about cybersecurity requires that --EITHER-- we damp down the rate of change, slowing it enough to give prediction operational validity --OR-- we purposely increase unpredictability so that the opposition's targeting exercise grows too hard for them to do. In the former, we give up many and various sorts of progress. In the latter, we give up many and various sorts of freedom as it would be the machines then in charge, not us. Either way, the conjoining is irreversible.

I'm wondering how bad this will get before the masses declare a Butlerian Jihad. I personally know a handful of people that already use a revolt against technology as their primary political belief.

> Innovation will just happen within the context of Chinese political constraints.

I was going to ask who are China's Hannah Arendt et al., but I think that answers it then. So, no meaningful innovation as far as I'm concerned. Just widgets and refining processes and extracting resources and moving money. In the conversation of minds about ideas and ways to live, that's like one hour in one afternoon. It's like a hamster wheel some are forever trapped in. Another revolution of the wheel isn't progress or innovation. Kind of like taking heroin isn't like seeing your child cure cancer.. it's a shit substitute that attaches to receptors that can be used much more meaningful. It's kind of tragic that the best one can say about China is that it repeats the mistakes of the West, without even something like popular rock music, not to mention the Blues. Innovation? Who is the Chinese Jimi Hendrix? Bill Hicks? Not that the man eating machinery of the US can take credit for people who emerged in spite of it, and I bet there's a lot great underground stuff in China (there is Chinese punk, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fseb62y_Vmc ). But on the shiny toothpaste commercial level it's being discussed here? There's nothing, there's a gaping, howling absence of anything worth any of the murder and destruction of the mind entailed by totalitarian control. None of those "achievements" justify even a single peasant clubbed to death. Those who don't know that, in the West or East or on the moon, are still just cavemen in jet planes.
We have to distinguish here between a single, centralised police force that handles all levels of policing across the country (which is what most commenters replying to your comment seem to be debunking), and having a single, centralised "federal police" force that handles most law enforcement for a single layer of government (which is what I suspect you're getting at).

The US is particularly unique in that even amongst countries with relatively decentralised law enforcement, I can't think of another country where most major government departments have their own internal police force ("why is the Department of Education buying shotguns") or so many "primary" federal law enforcement agencies (FBI/DEA/ATF, etc) which would normally be much more consolidated.

They don't need to. By selling the data on without ensuring the requirements continue to be met, the original company can be taken to court.
>Who? Where's the data? This blog post has a lot of links, references, and studies, but where's the data to back up the premise?

If you had been following startup blogs and HN, then you don't need any more data to back their premise.

It's not like total data matters anyway -- what's important is what use cases people regularly encounter in their periphery and the part of the industry they work on, which might not be what some overall data will show.

I don't care for example if NoSQL only caught on with 1% of developers while 99% of Fortune 500 enterprises and companies in rural Idaho and southern Mongolia used trusty old MS-SQL Server.

For most of us here around HN, judging from posts, comments, and discussions, the NoSQL era was very real, in the kind of companies and environments we knew.
When a Unicorn Startup Stumbles, Its Employees Get Hurt (2015)
I really agree with you. I think ORM is responsible for a lot of failed software projects, since it leads to over-engineering. I saw a lot of projects where 90% of the mapped columns or tables could be replaced with JSON, because they were simply never queried against.

One thing I learned writing SPAs is that joins are often unnecessary because with proper state management a lot of data is already present on the client side. NoSQL Query languages (for example Mongo or CouchDB queries) are more than sufficient for these use cases.

That's not true.

Ask HN: How do you manage what you learn from books?
Basically, how do you keep track of what you learn from the books you read? Of course some general ideas become part of your brain, but how do you revisit them? Do you make summaries? Do you underline the book to reread only those parts? Do you keep categorized notes?
I'd argue that it makes certain types of corruption more/less likely, and that what really matters, either way, is the strength of your institutional safeguards - which means being highly centralised can be a force multiplier in either a good way or a bad way depending on those safeguards.

Cyber is an adjective essentially meaning computer. It is well known from the word cybernetics and later cyberspace. However I was pointing out that it used to be common to use the word "cyber" in phrases in place of cybersex like "want to cyber?". Maybe it was just a late-90/eary-2000s thing.
For those like me who interpreted the title to mean that CBS/Showtime had deliberately inserted the crypto-mining code themselves and been caught red-handed doing it: nobody knows who actually did it. The author hypothesizes that it was some malicious actor who got access to Showtime's code base, although this hypothesis is based on the author's surmising that it would be extremely unlikely for CBS to do this deliberately.

8 Performance Hacks for JavaScript
CQL is not SQL. CQL does not even have SQL SELECT. There is no support for arbitrary WHERE clauses, for example. You need to either slice an ordered column, or select a row by primary key -- and nothing else! They have an ALLOW FILTERING option which lets you "do it anyway", but this reduces down to paging the whole dataset without the WHERE applied, and then doing client-side filtering.

I always felt that CQL did more harm than good for Cassandra. It's not like Redshift -- which implemented a full mostly-Postgres compatibility layer. Cassandra's CQL "looks like" SQL in the same way JavaScript "looks like" Java. Similarity by superficial appearance only; under the hood, totally different.
Come back when there is a crypto currency that is not 99% scam and speculation. Volatility in value and the missing anonymity is what makes Bitcoin etc utterly useless for anything reasonable.
True.

Hitting VPNs, however, is challenging a status-quo: before that they were tolerating that tech-savvy users could access internet outside China. It could be believed that they would let the people with enough of a legitimate reasonto pay for it access the outside.

I have the impression that there are more channels for official complaints than we often believe as westerners. I think that they will receive criticism from the whole IT sector. They want to develop international collaborations, this is directly at odds with the censorship of all chat platforms that are not controlled by the CCP.

>I'm pretty sure most experienced software architects would not approve this as a robust approach.

What approach? Not caring which sort is used? I explicitly stated that in actual practice I wouldn't do that. I simply took a quick example to make a point and you're turning it into an interigation. Look, you don't like Haskell. Fine, don't use it. I'm not cashing checks from your choice of programming language, use whatever you like.
The biggest advantage is that you get transactions. (Or Not). Possibly faster small objects with less (memory, storage) overhead.
> spare CPU cycles

"Spare CPU cycles" were only a thing back in the 90's, when CPUs ran at a fixed frequency, and it didn't make much difference whether it was running useful code or waiting in the idle loop. Nowadays, the frequency and voltage vary depending on whether the CPU is being used or not, so instead of "spare cycles" doing nothing the CPU powers itself down.
The pandas memory consumption is hilarious.

The last time I was trying to use pandas, it was the hackernews data dump. It wasn't big. However when pandas started using the memory, my 32GB was just too little.

I just ended to convert the data within postgres, much faster, with sensible memory usage.
Ads aren't acceptable either.

They do. But in management of fiat currencies, it's understood that energy expenditure is an upkeep that is to be reduced. In cryptocurrencies, on the other hand, energy use is a "feature" that's intended to grow over time.

Or put differently, cryptocurrencies are trying to replace a system that's O(log n) with respect to energy with a system that's O(n^2), for questionable and mostly imaginary benefit of trustless payments.
Not necessarily, no - the generator speed is a function of input shaft power versus demanded electrical power, and if the power plant can't or won't increase the feed of coal/gas and hence steam to the turbines, the generators will slow down.

(In most countries you can see a little bit of a frequency dip at times of high demand. It also has the effect of reducing the power draw by synchronous AC motors.)

I tend to keep linked notes (e.g., mind mapping).

In fairness, I'm bad at being consistent. But once you have a mind map or similar (generally with themes or topics as title) you have an exportable resource.

Once you have an exportable resource you can release the kraken (let slip the dogs of war?) and do whatever you want with it. Things like spaced repetition, reminders of things you haven't looked at or thought about over time, totally random, etc.

It's cool.

A "random" link from the past, or a book passage, or a note tree, or even just exploring a random path, might directly solve a current problem or push you to think in a different direction, or jog a thought pattern you didn't know you had.
As a marketer and coder, I appreciate those loopholes to make sh*t work (I used to do it all of the time, and was pretty much the basis I was hired on at my previous job) :) although I would concede giving anyone the option if they don't have tech experience is a nightmare waiting to happen.

Yes but in the long run, unless you are to be crowned the ultimate arbiter of what ideas are correct, the only effective way to do this is to persuade people (sometimes including the aforementioned immoral actor) that these actions are wrong.
