> Timescale, for all their wonderful marketing, is just an automatic sharding extension for Postgres database. You can accomplish the same yourself using native partitioning, or pg_partman, or Citus or any number of other tools.

Put another way...

"Postgres, for all their wonderful marketing, is just an automatic data organization system for <underlying filesystem>. You can accomplish the same yourself using open, read, write, or any number of other syscalls."

You're doing the whole "large simplification" thing again. Yes, you can do everything yourself. No, you don't want to do that. Postgres by itself is not great for time-series data. Time series databases are useful, as your reply even showed, except for the part where you seem to assume any software that doesn't do something entirely novel is simply a quick abstraction that you could just whip up yourself.

Column stores have advantages over row stores, but they also have disadvantages. Your statement that it "comes nowhere [close to] the capabilities of cutting-edge column stores [...]" could just as easily be reversed as well.

"Scanning the entire table" for every request to have the last value recorded is rarely a practical option.

KDB literally markets itself as a time series database. What's the point you're making again?

I think TimescaleDB lacks an "asof" function for now, but it makes up for it by having the full power of PostgreSQL for other stuff. Regardless, Time Series databases like KDB and TimescaleDB are useful.

EDIT:

it looks like TimescaleDB recommends using

ORDER BY time DESC LIMIT 1

to get the most recent value for any particular set of sources that you're SELECTing over, which would use indices and be reasonably fast.

Regardless it still seems to be the build system most major platforms and large orgs are choosing to integrate with (for better or worse). Which comes with its own benefits.

It might not be the best build system for a raw new js project but in terms of broad support, stability, adoption rates, 'no one ever got fired for choosing IBM', etc it seems to be the system of choice.

I restarted my software development career around 2009 after being at one company too long and after 8 years and 4 job changes, I went from being what for all intents and purposes a junior .Net developer to the dev team lead based solely on knowing the Microsoft stack really well.

At the company where I was the
dev lead, I first encountered outside consultants who were there to “help” us transform the company and “move us to the cloud”.

After realizing in hindsight how easy it was being a consultant - in the land of the blind the one eyed man is king - I realized that coming at AWS consultancy from the viewpoint of a software architect with some dev ops experience and some infrastructure experience I could be the two eyed king that may be had just a little blurry vision in one eye.

So, after changing jobs again last year, and taking a slight demotion (not in pay - in responsible) I’m on a four year journey to be a real “full stack consultant”. Someone who knows the front end well enough to talk to the front end guys, middleware (.Net/Node/Python) , databases, Linux, Docker, Devops, netops (at least on AWS) and maybe a project management certification.

There are a few gaps and a few more certifications I need, but I think I should have enough breadth as a consultant for the high paying jobs and enough depth to be your typical “full stack developer” to be able to land a job quickly.

I will see....

All the features you mentioned are already part of distributed column-oriented databases. S3 storage is orthogonal and unrelated to time-series data. It's usually not included in shared-nothing local storage architecture of databases but you can definitely mount S3 storage in a variety of ways.

Many options on your list are not TSDBs, like Aerospike, Elasticsearch, Cassandra, Kudu, GridGain/Ignite. EventQL and Riak are obsolete. Apache Apex is a stream processing framework. Many of the others are just extensions to Prometheus built-in mini-storage or offer time-series indexing on top of existing databases.

On TV it's usually just narrative convenience.

But there are real reasons to suspect that it's likely. Some atoms are more common than others. In general, light atoms are more common than heavy atoms. Life is going to use the tools which are commonly available on its planet, so life that has uranium as a basic constituent of their biochemistry would have to come from somewhere quite strange.

And you can also rank the atoms by how many different types of bonds they can form with other atoms. Noble gasses form almost no bonds at all, with anything, so it seems pretty unlikely that any form of life would use them. Carbon and oxygen, and the other atoms in those columns of the periodic table, form lots of types of bonds and can do so with several other atoms at the same time. This gives you lots of complex molecules.

Carbon and oxygen are in the sweet-spot, and therefore it seems likely that alien biochemistries will use them. Of course, the set of chemicals that you can make with with them is quite vast; it's also likely that an alien biochemistry would have only the simplest and most basic molecules with ours, even if it's based on carbon and oxygen. Luckily water is quite a simple molecule.

Yes, this is kind of the issue with a lot of things (props/measures) we get on the ballots. Some are worth a direct vote, others should be phrased in the way you're describing as "this is an issue we'd like you to take up, research, and debate".

Even then, much of his argument is that there must be something "quantum" happening in the human brain, but he apparently fails to notice that a transistor is a quantum device or otherwise articulate why a mechanical object cannot possibly do all the quantum things a neuron can presumably do. Or why a computer model of that process would never be sufficient to emulate it. Half his arguments are misrepresentations of other people's positions and vague pseudo-mathematical conclusions masquerading as indisputable fact.

There's no panacea when it comes to front-end build tools, but the webpack 4 release vastly improved configuration and docs, which was a big reason for us to make the jump. We've maintained the old brunch workflow for non-js pros, where you place js in assets/js and css in assets/css and things Just Work™, so folks fond of the old brunch way can continue to handle assets exactly as before, but webpack will be used underneath. I also like to think we now strike a nice balance between zero hassle asset bundling and professional front-end engineers using phx.new and quickly getting to work.

That's a comparison between macOS and Windows, not the SSDs themselves. I would not have believed how terrible Windows is at small file I/O unless I had seen it myself dozens of times over the years. If they had put Linux on one of those laptops for comparison, I would consider a chart like that fair.

If you actually read technical deep dives like AnandTech posts on SSDs and MacBooks alike, you would see that they really do perform identically to what Apple ships... because Apple is shipping industry-standard SSDs. Apple chooses expensive SSD chips, sure, but it's the same NAND everyone else has. Only the most recent generation of MacBooks (since the T2) has actually integrated their own SSD controller, inside the T2, but it's still the same physical industry-standard NAND chips underneath.

This might be a bit too late to reply. It’s undefined in C, but it’s well defined at a processor level (on x86). IIRC, there was one particular bit of code that’d crash on AArch64 due to unaligned pointers, but would run a bit faster than aligned code on x86-64. On the other hand, this trick wouldn’t work in multithreaded code even if the semantics were well defined, due to false sharing of cache lines.
These are stunning. Reminds me of stripe's website.
Sure, makes sense. The original argument was that an ecosystem like Python's could have been a possible substitution for Rust, as an example, and therefore it was a baseless statement. Think the analogy with yours would be an equally good screenwriter or scientific collaborator. You need one, but technically maybe not exactly the one you had.

That said, not trying to undercut anyone's appreciative statements, especially the one from OP in his repo towards Rust! Obviously people (and programming languages, for that matter) aren't simple drop-in replacements for each other in real life. You have to be inspired and empowered by them.

That personal motivation or rapport component is probably what was being missed in the post to which I replied.

we didnt rely on it, or on the ordering of messages received from kafka, timestamps and transaction IDs were generated by the client app/kafka publisher and were part of the message put into kafka topic, when we consume that message with one of the parallel kafka consumers and save a row in hbase table that original timestamp + transactionId becomes part of the rowkey string, other parts being attributes that we wanted to index (secondary indices are supported in hbase/phoenix but we didnt use them too much, basically the composite rowkey is the index). Then when querying hbase it works as a parallel scanning machine and can do a time range scan + filtering +aggregation very fast.

On a separate note we didn't use joins even though they are supported in Phoenix, data was completely denormalized into one big table.

Considering that TimescaleDB has only been available for a relatively short period of time, I would love to see a source for that statement. It sounds like a really fun article to read.

Since TimescaleDB is creating a new partition for each chunk of time, it should be able to maintain its ingestion rate consistently for as long as you have storage to store that data. Perhaps it won't keep up with distributed, eventually consistent databases, but such databases generally have very limited analytical power, and if you're using them for anything but time series data, that whole "eventual consistency" thing requires a lot of careful thought.
> All the features you mentioned are already part of distributed column-oriented databases.

I disagree, but even if that was the case, not all of them perform well. For example, we could've used Cassandra for our use case at my previous employer but the lack of push-down aggregations (at the time, not sure if they're supported now) would've been terrible for our top-K aggregate queries.

I believe "but it can be done" and "ineffective" don't mean the same.
The serious answer to this is a sort of echo of the root comment in this thread. Our legal system incorporates the understanding that laws can only be partially enforced. Imagine if robots in the sky automatically cited you for every single infraction. How often do you cross the street outside of a crosswalk? Exceed the speed limit by 1mph? Fail to signal a turn? Drive a block or two without fastening your seatbelt?

Yeah, rolling through a stop at 3mph in the middle of nowhere probably isn't great, but it's not what folks hand in mind when they created the penalties for running red lights. An officer probably wouldn't have bothered to make the stop. But in a world where law enforcement is automated, 99.9% of citations will be these marginal cases.

2) How is the experience of publishing through OReilly? Do they take considerable profit shares? Do they provide editors, advertising, and/or other valuable services? Essentially are they worth it?

Distributed relational column-oriented databases are best at large data volumes and OLAP queries. KDB+ is one of those, even though they call it a TSDB in marketing terminology because of its FinTech customer base.

TimescaleDB is not a TSDB, it's an extension to add automatic partitioning to PostgreSQL tables. Timescale helps Postgres get more performance, but it does not give you the full capabilities of a real distributed column-oriented system. If you must use PostgreSQL though then it's a good compromise.

The query you posted does not match the discussion about the last value at a specific instant in time, only the last value ever recorded in the table for that key.
