>"Ruby is an acceptable lisp" is a decently common saying.

I got excited the first time I read that phrase (i think it was Matz who said it?), but they are very very different languages; for example metaprogramming is a piece of cake in Lisp, while it is something reserved for advanced Ruby users, to put just one example. And for me, metaprogramming is extremely important.

In any case, I think i'll give Ruby a second look.

If I run several servers in the same rack, with a local private 10Gbps network, with CockroachDB, running on spinning HDDs, I expect to get the same (or better) throughput as with a single PGSQL instance, and a similar latency. (When accessing it from another server, via the public internet).

That’s not always the case, though.

OK. So from that angle, though, it's turtles all the way down. Since I am not You, and thus we are not the same, our internal conceptions of _anything_, God included, are going to have some fuzz.

If you're too strict about sameness criteria, it's difficult to agree on what, like, pants are, and we wind up at the relatively trivial solipsism arguments that get boring pretty quick.

Exactly. HDDs really can't be compared to SSDs directly without considering the goals of the system. They are both storage devices, but the pros/cons make them like comparing a car to a truck. They both transport people and things, but the car gets better gas mileage than the truck but has a lot less towing capacity.

The primary reason is that it's useful to know what was happening on a system when something was logged. When troubleshooting an unexpected error in a log, the troubleshooting starts by building context. What was the action, what was the environment, etc. It's often rather difficult to diagnose an error message by simply looking at a log file.

For example, if your API server talked to Postgres and you start to see some timeouts, it's great to open a monitoring view for the same time period and see the overall traffic, the number of connections to postgres and what else was happening during this time.

I had to learn Ruby when I got a job as a full stack dev. Before then I mostly used Python and Java. To date I have not found a language that I love more than Ruby. It's a delight to use. I truely enjoy coding in Ruby, whereas I'm usually some flavor of neutral with most other languages (except PHP... blah). Perhaps there are some people that are on the same wavelength as Matz. One thing I found interesting is that when surveying whitespace of Github repos, 100% of Ruby repos surveyed had 2 spaces for indentation. Looking down that list, I wonder why some languages have more conformity of indentation style (other than frameworks helping enforce styles). Perhaps certain languages attract certain types of developers or help foster a particular culture?

True, but admittedly, I'm so fond of the ability to have no "middlemen" between the code I write and what gets run by the browser that my dislike for any logistics/bureaucracy overhead is stronger than my attraction to ES6+ (or CoffeesScript for that matter).
I know it might sound a bit irrational (I'd much rather code in C++ than code in assembly), but I think one of the perks of writing in JavaScript was that I got to have a high level language directly run by a system and now I don't want to give it up. I prefer to wait until the percentage of browsers that support ES6+ goes up.

Pure evil can in fact pass for normal, banal politics in certain times and places. That's the problem. Normal, banal people learned not to think thoughts like, "Are we the baddies? We've got skulls on!" and, "But what would I think if they were doing this to me?"

Remember, the late 1930s also had Stalinism, Japanese Imperialism, the British Empire sponsoring things like the Bengali Famine, and various American imperial/colonial efforts as well.

There was a lot of evil to go around.

The proper advice is: know the Evil Impulse when it appears in yourself, and then you can have a good idea of how to spot it in others.
That's not something I would contest, and I don't think I implied such a position. I(and presumably others) actually like impossible ideas but dislike the rampant lack of skepticism in the direction of Musk, therefore criticism of his company's proposals is justified and not necessarily coming from the direction of "it can never work".

Likening him to Barnum would perhaps paint him as a little more nefarious than Musk actually is, but I wouldn't consider that insulting. The man was a master promoter. But perhaps he's not a good analogue because their "products" are very different. People liken Musk to Edison, and they did both own technology companies that produced innovations, but that's where the similarity ends.
> This sounds like such an insane proposition relative to the Dropbox we know today.

Does it? If you used WebDAV then you can mount a share in Windows or Linux even over the Internet, and windows at least is good at caching it while you're offline for short periods. For someone who has their own always-on Apache it seems like this would replicate most of the use cases for Dropbox. I think the point that's being missed is simply that most people would rather see a few ads or pay a small fee than administer their own Apache, not that what Dropbox offers is technically so far ahead.

Ask HN: Examples of useful IoT solutions?
Dear HN,

My city (in the Netherlands) features a "Smart City" fund. I have been talking to members of the local government about setting up a LoRa network [0], perhaps using The Things Network [1]. I argued that a LoRa network could be a key enabler for many creative solutions and will spark all kinds of business efforts in the city. They loved the idea, but they would like to hear some “community relevant” solutions such a network would enable. I will aid in organizing some local workshops and information evenings to bring together enthusiasts, local companies and hopefully people with problems to solve.

I have some “problems” of my own to solve (monitor temperature and humidity in my caravan, track my bike by GPS, etc). But what would help pitch my plans are nice examples of the use of (long range/low power but not necessarily) IoT solutions. I have already come across some obvious examples (air quality monitoring) but also heard some novel ones (measuring tilt in buildings with rotting wooden foundations (a hot topic where I live)). Currently the municipality already uses LoRa (to a very limited degree) to gather measurements of soil water levels and our neighboring community is rolling out sensors that monitor how full waste containers are.

What I’m looking for with this post is the usual unexpected and creative angle of the HN crowd: What IoT solutions are truly useful? I’d appreciate it very much!

GraphQL Code-Generator 1.0: The True GraphQL-First Platform
Probably the fastest way of importing data with Ruby
Of the currently shipping products SSD has the highest density. Samsung has a 2.5" 15 TB SSD. The closest magnetic storage is 12TB 3.5".

Another important factor to remember is that your HDD will give you 200 MB/s of sequential data. If you have a random pattern it's going to drop to 10 MB/s or less. (15K RPM SAS drives can do around 150-170 random IOPS, assume 32 KB per operation and you're looking at 6 MB/s.) SSD will push out 10x+ that rate for random IOPS. A 100 TB HDD sitting behind 200 MB/s is painful but sitting behind 5 MB/s is insane. There's a place for such devices, but it's not serving your OLTP databases or kafka message queues.

He's getting very close, if one is considering domestic rockets. The standard-bearers were the Delta IV and Atlas V, which price out at around $17,000/kg - $20,000/kg to LEO, respectively. The Falcon 9 comes in at about $2,800/kg to LEO.

Comparisons with non-domestic rockets are complicated by state subsidies and differentials in labor costs. But the Falcon 9 is approaching the 10X mark even before reusability has been priced in. Both the Falcon Heavy (in a few months) and the (eventual) reusable pricing should overshoot the 10X mark substantially.

I've tried it a couple times but didn't see as dramatic a speedup as I'd hoped either. What has worked for me is storing a full array in a single row of a regular Postgres table. Then if you have to load e.g. 1 million FLOATs, you can just slurp an 8MB chunk off disk instead of looking in 1 million different places. Postgres doesn't have a lot of functions for working on that kind of data though, so I wrote an extension to provide a few at [0]. I will probably add some more functions soon around masking out values so you can work "R/Pandas-style" on these arrays.

My approach breaks down if you are heavily updating your arrays though. On the mailing list Tom Lane suggested I store that kind of data outside the database.[1] But of course all software development is an attempt to have your cake and eat it too, so I wrote an extension that is a bit like cstore_fdw, but maybe more extreme: you can store/load/append a float array as an ordinary file.[2] It has similar operational disadvantages to cstore_fdw (no replication, no pg_dump, etc.) but performs faster. On the other hand it is definitely not battle-tested and still likely to change a little. (I need to improve the crash story and may add compression.) If you decide to use it, let me know!

Oh another limitation of keeping everything in an array (whether with floatfile or not) is that Postgres has a 1 GB limit on most RAM allocations. For example you could try running array_agg on a giant table and you might get a message about `Exception invalid memory alloc request size 1073741824`. I don't think cstore_fdw has that problem.

See also the industrialists who as well as aiding the Nazi's tried to overthrow the US Government in the 1930s:

>In 1936, William Dodd, the U.S. Ambassador to Germany, wrote a letter to President Roosevelt in which he stated,

> > A clique of U.S. industrialists is hell-bent to bring a fascist state to supplant our democratic government and is working closely with the fascist regime in Germany and Italy. I have had plenty of opportunity in my post in Berlin to witness how close some of our American ruling families are to the Nazi regime. ... A prominent executive of one of the largest corporations, told me point blank that he would be ready to take definite action to bring fascism into America if President Roosevelt continued his progressive policies. Certain American industrialists had a great deal to do with bringing fascist regimes into being in both Germany and Italy. They extended aid to help Fascism occupy the seat of power, and they are helping to keep it there. Propagandists for fascist groups try to dismiss the fascist scare. We should be aware of the symptoms. When industrialists ignore laws designed for social and economic progress they will seek recourse to a fascist state when the institutions of our government compel them to comply with the provisions.
