It is at least as important to know which approaches do not work, but this gets significantly less press, which is not that attractive for scientists in the age of "publish or perish".

A very interesting and worthwhile article (better than the comments here would suggest). However, I find it a bit of a pity that the author places so much emphasis on the assumption that the project has failed. The approach has not simply f

That makes sense, thanks.

Cool. You write "C++11 >= compatible compiler (GCC 4.8+ or Clang 3.4+)". From that can I conclude that you are using an older version of RocksDB (more recent versions require C++17)? Which version? What's the motivation fo

I don't want to burden you with work, so don't feel obliged in any way. This is simply my opinion (there are also good reasons for newer C versions). In all my personal projects, I don't have any newer versions than C99 or C+

Just discovered that you're requiring C23 which I don't have on my development machine. Actually one of the reasons I didn't continue with RocksDb yet is that they moved to a pretty recent c++ version, which I neither have. I

I am interested in your overarching objective for the database. For example, my Udb was only a means to an end, so that I could equip my applications such as CrossLine, WorkTree, FlowLine, or Herald with incremental persistence. I had consi

Do you have applications which use the concurrency feature of your database?

by Rochus 2y ago
That's a sensible approach, and Sqlite does it that way too. But unicode becomes an issue at the latest when you want to implement text indices. Based on your description, I assumed that your database already offers something like this

I have been considering for some time whether I should change the backend. LSM trees and a much simpler implementation than, for example, RocksDb seem attractive.

by Rochus 2y ago
Ok, I see. I implemented an object database based on the Sqlite backend some time ago for CrossLine and other applications, which includes ideas of MUMPS and also uses unicode collating algorithms implemented in Qt, but it's c++, see e

That's a cool project, thanks for sharing! Does string sorting also consider unicode (or did I get SSTables wrong)?

Great. The piano sounds better now (though for a "natural" piano a lot of other aspects like damper noises, resonant strings, etc. have to be considered). You could try to generally turn down the velocity a bit (especially relativ

Thanks for your effort. The three download buttons work. According to the button state, the music should play when I come to the site, but it doesn't. If I press the button twice, it sounds. Then if I just let the piece run, when switc

It's a great idea actually. From my humble point of view (as a trained musician and former producer), the following features would be great: - since it's called "endless" and has an URL like a web radio, it would be nice

The music is rendered to mp3, isn't it? Do you render it in realtime or is the composition/rendering process ahead of the current performance? Have you noticed that sometimes one or more voices are barely audible? I assume the mid

That's funny, but there is no information whatsoever who did it by which means and for what purpuse. The pieces sound nice, but there seems to be an issue with the relative loudness of the voices. Any hints?

(2021) The article is not actually about the Pascal programming language, but the journey of the author to become a manager, presenting his personal experience as a universal principle for success.

That's cool, thanks for the hint. Do you know, what frame rate/latency can be achieved with this approach? I've read that the limit of VNC is about 7 fps.

My major system programming languages are C and C++, but I did some projects in Oberon (which turned out to be not particularly suited for systems programming), and then created a modified, better suited version of it called Oberon+ ( https
