> I think climate change is no more than 20 to 25% responsible for our current fire problems in the state...

A few percent is "small". Even if you agree with the claim, 20-25% would make climate change a significant contributor.
> can you explain what the issue is with it? And do what are ways to resolve it if TiKV does not resolve it themselves?

TiKV is based on multi-raft + Percolator where there is no way to coordinate a consistent range operation across regions (key ranges) and therefore does not support range deletion.

RefineDB uses range deletion to delete non-primitive types that contain multiple members, e.g. tables and sets.

To support TiKV, RefineDB needs to support asynchronous range deletion - mark a range as deleted, and never use it again. This requires some work on the storage mapping layer, to map ABA accesses to a recreated-after-deleted range to a different keyspace.

> Did you do any profiling on your in memory store?

Not yet, actually the in-memory store is just for use in tests and the web playground where performance isn't important.

For a better in-memory store, I think it's better to use the SQLite backend with an in-memory database.
here is text from a 2019 ExecOrder (smaller than subsequent 2020 and 2021) which required a dozen branches of govt to file binding 45 day response:

Executive Summary California experienced the deadliest and most destructive wildfires in its history in 2017 and 2018. Fueled by drought, an unprecedented buildup of dry vegetation and extreme winds, the size and intensity of these wildfires caused the loss of more than 100 lives, destroyed thousands of homes and exposed millions of urban and rural Californians to unhealthy air. Climate change, an epidemic of dead and dying trees, and the proliferation of new homes in the wildland urban interface (WUI) magnify the threat and place substantially more people and property at risk than in preceding decades. More than 25 million acres of California wildlands are classified as under very high or extreme fire threat, extending that risk over half the state. Certain populations in our state are particularly vulnerable to wildfire threats. These Californians live in communities that face near-term public safety threats given their location. Certain residents are further vulnerable given factors such as age and lack of mobility. The tragic loss of life and property in the town of Paradise during the recent Camp Fire demonstrates such vulnerability. Recognizing the need for urgent action, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-05-19 on January 9, 2019. The Executive Order directs the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE), in consultation with other state agencies and departments, to recommend immediate, medium and long-term actions to help prevent destructive wildfires. With an emphasis on taking necessary actions to protect vulnerable populations, and recognizing a backlog in fuels management work combined with finite resources, the Governor placed an emphasis on pursuing a strategic approach where necessary actions are focused on California's most vulnerable communities as a prescriptive and deliberative endeavor to realize the greatest returns on reducing risk to life and property.
And if you start a fire due to negligence in a "closed" federal forest you're in for an absolute world of hurt.
I'm not suggesting one or the other all in and neither does the article. I think you'd be quite happy with the full proposal. You can control whether you get the async or sync version by calling from an async or sync closure, respectively, essentially.
How do you prevent that from slipping down to the nadir (imo) of “nobody is entitled to survival”? Or is that also a part of your belief system..? (Not meaning to judge)

This resonates with me. I've been developing web sites since the late 90s. It was a passion/hobby of mine at the time. I monitized my hobby as a career in 2004. Since then I've come across many new hobbies. Woodworking has been my favorite. I've learned like any professional athlete that the more practice you put in the better you get. With that metaphor in mind this is something I'm trying to distill this into my children. My children are young now so it goes no further than the more you do something the better you get. They try a wide range of things understanding that they will get better with time. I don't push them on anything. I'm happy at the moment if it's just trying to get better playing Mario. Anything I can use with them to look back on as proof that putting in time will show progress. I hope to use this mentality in the future when acedemics matter.

Why? Please elaborate.

As the person you replied to said, I feel that ideas should be judged on their merit, not on who came up with them. Plenty of "bad" people have good ideas and visa versa.

Is there a term for magic that would be similar to proto-sciences or superstition? Things like alchemy, magical geometry, psychic abilities, qigong, etc. that don't necessarily directly involve a spiritual being at all?
Is it really? We got into this mess because we'd initially assumed that wildfires were "bad" and that we needed to stop ALL of them. However, we later found out just how beneficial small fires can be for the long-term health of a forest. If we can actually allocate funds and people towards this, it won't be an issue anymore.
Curious - why would I want to get OP-1 instead of getting Ableton and a midi keyboard?
Take the example "newspaper publishes what people claim is lies, people complain".
If the newspaper is wrong, it's a good thing that people complain and get the lies stopped. If the newspaper is right, it's a bad thing that people complain and get the truth they dislike stopped. (An ideal in both cases would be that rational discussion is able to have lies disproved).

The "I want to hear awful ideas" is a cynical belief that it's possible for society to be deluded, and suppress important truths that they don't like.

I don't think this necessarily means "no moderation anywhere, ever"; although I think it does mean "don't want total moderation everywhere". I think it's more complex than that. It's just possible that by moderating away unpleasant things, truths are lost. - Reddit's apparently decided it no longer wants to host its most awful subreddits.
I hate when automatic translation is creeping into software or websites without a way to stop it. In particular since a few month youtube decided it was ok to list video on its home page with translated titles. As I browse videos in 3/4 languages, it became hard to know what language a video will be it. I did some change on language preferences in my account but it didn't really solve the problem.
True. Furthermore, many of these FAANG sites work terribly and are ridiculous to navigate. Where is the logout button? Oh, they purposely hid it several levels deep under a strange tiny icon menu where users won’t find it … so users stay logged in and they can be tracked by the advertising markers.

Or, why did the screen just scroll down and lose my place in the paragraph? Oh, they loaded an ad in the middle of the document and the page re-rendered itself causing jerks and fits on the screen. Nice job FAANG site!

Or try performing a sort of items by price or whatever other criteria … doesn’t work because the website wants the user to see the “suggested” items no matter what search criteria was desired y the user.

Ah, the memories. Back in the days when Microsoft could be openly and blatantly anti-competitive and nobody really cared because it was just perceived as a nerd-fight outside of tech circles.

It was just a coincidence that MS decided to make some changes to Win95 that made it depend on things in MS-DOS that DR-DOS didn't have, but then when DR-DOS caught up, they still had Win9x complain about "incompatible" DOS.

But somehow MS managed to maintain backwards compatibility with SimCity. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2281932

> Do you think that smokin' a joint is really enough to set off something like this?

Yes, absolutely yes. One tiny ember can smolder for days until it meets the exact right piece of fuel and sets off a full-blown fire.

> Maybe we just don't like to admit it but climate change is here and it's here for real.

Right, and as a result we either need to be a) more vigilant about not being idiots or b) keep doing everything as if nothing has changed and be fine wth the damage caused.

Climate change is the underlying foundational issue here, but that isn't an excuse to not change our behavior.
In terms of productivity, California has the 4th highest GDP per capita. But despite that, there has been a significant net migration out of California to other states because the quality of life has deteriorated so much. People are voting with their feet.

Driving back from camping last weekend I saw some dry median grass on fire, presumably from a flicked cigarette. So yes, a joint could start a fire.
Care to share what's false specifically? Mere denial is pretty weak as far as discussion goes.
My family has a cabin up there. Grandpa bought the land in the 50s and finally built on it in the 70s. Always imagined it would be there. Will be very strange if that's suddenly not true. Of course it's the way of all things but it's different when it's firsthand.
MS could have maintained backwards compatibility if they wanted. https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/05/24/strategy-letter-ii... "On beta versions of Windows 95, SimCity wasn’t working in testing. Microsoft tracked down the bug and added specific code to Windows 95 that looks for SimCity. If it finds SimCity running, it runs the memory allocator in a special mode that doesn’t free memory right away. That’s the kind of obsession with backward compatibility that made people willing to upgrade to Windows 95."
I haven't tried IDAGIO. Do you like it?
To be honest, you’re doing the right thing: you should stop and try to figure out where things come from, why they’re there, and what they’re doing. Usually, if you’ve got “magic coupling” from a framework, that’s the part that’s going to bite you or it’ll be where you need to dig in for some critical piece of functionality. It’s not unusual for reflection-, plugin-, or attribute-heavy code (and I’ve abused all those systems heavily in the past, often at the same time) to break in weird and unexpected ways, especially in tandem with other frameworks. Sure, cut-and-paste devs look like they get there faster, but they won’t be able to diagnose and debug regressions, because their knowledge is just another cargo cult.
Yep. I would never have guessed how little time I would spend coding some weeks.

Judging from the downvotes, that take was too much for HN. LOL
I see it as a concern because (1) a large portion of wild lands are burning within a short span of time. I would guess (no evidence, just a hunch) that burning was more dispersed in time before modern fire prevention. I also feel that (2) climate change makes these fires much worse, and forests will have a much harder time rebounding.

And yet the _user_ problem he describes Napster solving, “type a song name and hear it play,” is currently solved by Spotify which is WAY more popular than BitTorrent.
This problem was already solved a long time ago: asynchronous execution is a monad (as is error handling and list comprehension and any number of other fun features), and do syntax is that syntax sugar people are looking for that lets you decide to dip below the abstraction on a case by case basis... only no one seems to want to build support for monads into their language as they think they are too complicated or smell like haskell (is that even a bad thing?!) or something (and then you get awkward stuff like Rust deciding to take the data structure from a popular monad--Either, as Result--but providing none of the scaffolding or behaviors or synergistic language features to make it pleasant to use :/).
He is doing exactly what he says; that isn't irony in any sense of the word. You could call it emblematic, but not ironic.
Because a simple, well crafted experience can provide such sheer joy, and constraints can be really fun, because they remove the paralysis of choice.

A small residential fire sprinkler head outputs around 15gpm of water. While keeping a roof wet is different than wetting down a room on fire, a roof is big and you need to be sure it stays wet, so let's say you want to keep it wet with 30gpm.

And lets say you have to keep it wet for 24 hours until the fire danger passes. That's around 40,000 gallons of water.

Where are you going to get that water? You can't count on the local utility keeping pumps running. If you're lucky you have a well, but a good residential well would yield around 10gpm, and if you and your neighbors are all pulling out water at the max rate together for hours or days, it may run dry while you wait for water to percolate in.

So you need a huge tank of water - a 50,000 gallon tank is around 35 feet in diameter and 7 feet high. Hope you have a big yard and lots of money, the tank alone will probably cost $30K. So figure around $50K to install the system. I hope you have a big back yard for it.

That bunch of firefighters you want to get rid of help protect many square miles of land, putting that $50K sprinkler system on 10,000 homes would cost $500M - that's a lot of firefighters and equipment.

I think there are better ways to keep your roof from burning, but even a metal roof is no guarantee that your house will survive a large wildfire unless you also keep the land devoid of fuel. And you could still fall victim to a piece of flying ember that happens to land on a vulnerable spot of your house.
Surely being in a very populated area of the park lessens the chance greatly. Which would mean 1 in 2.7 million visits isn't accurate for what they would be doing.
Yes, I think we mostly agree. I was trying to add some context to the problem.

Frankly, nutrition science seems like a bunk field. Common advice is overthrown every few years and you can find a study that backs up any viewpoint you want. "you buying it versus you wanting to not believe it" is a weird statement to make in the context of such a sketchy science.
To clarify, I’m not advocating for gaming-abuse. I believe in a balance.

I’m just letting the grand parent know that to get their point across better they need to realize MMOs specifically should be considered IRL and it’s better to use “AFK” or “non-digital” to differentiate in person interactions rather than “IRL”.

Specifically in the grand parent’s post, they ”blame” MMOs and gaming-abuse for their friends “issues”. However, it’s a more apt analogy to view over use of MMOs as a form of workaholism than to view it as a form of drug-addiction. It’ll help you to get them to find a balance.

And similarly I advocate a similar vocabulary switch from “IRL” to “AFK” to differentiate Zoom/FaceTime vs non-Zoom/FaceTime activities.

>You’re missing something here.

I'll grant that perhaps I misinterpreted your response as saying, "No". Without additional comment from you in that post (you only replied with a quote), it's hard to know exactly what you're trying to say.

>Fires can start on private and state land and then spread to national forests.

And they can also start on federal land and spread to private/state land. Hence my comment that both federal and state governments are responsible for fire mitigation/prevention.

>Also, more and more Californians are moving away from the coast into rural suburbs due to cost of living.

I am not sure what this has to do with my comment. But, moving inward towards forests may mean that you're residing on state land right next to a federally-owned forest.

>Additionally, due to COVID lockdowns, more people are camping than ever. Fires aren’t started by climate change, they’re started by humans.

Okay? I didn't say anything about climate change or cause of fires. All I said was that both federal and state governments are responsible for their own areas. Each need to be doing a better job; mitigation can be improved across the board to reduce wildfire strength on state and federal lands, cause of fires be damned.

But, for what it's worth, many fires have been triggered by storms during extra dry, hot weather and severe winds caused by climate change.

That sounds very true. I am always joking that I could probably "architect" our whole Fortune 500 company in a few days.

In sense an architect should be mainly coordinator and communicator. Find alignment and make sure everybody does their part. Detect problems and get everybody back on the same page.

You are mentioning these geological time scales such as 15,000 years ago, but those figures representing delta are derived from a 42 year period.

What is the delta if you account for the temperatures relating to any significant change in human consumption as opposed to this period which is the only one that coincides with fuel efficiency standards and increased environmental enforcement?

Selecting a very small time period that does not include the industrial revolution, large scale construction (New deal public works, highways) operations, world wars, nuclear energy, adoption of mechanized logistics & transportation, any time at all with unrestricted emissions, etc is nearly useless for analysis.

Why should the delta during 1979-2021 be representative of the overall climatology when the dataset appears to be barely large enough to even begin making any analysis?

The scale of forest fires in California has little to do with the scale of our state economy. If our economy was smaller we wouldn't necessarily have fewer wildfires.
