I have mentioned this on some previous posted articles but we are really happy users of both citus and pipelinedb. Check out pipelinedb if you are a Postgres fan (obviously it is for a different use case than Citus). The only thing I don&#x

Perhaps if you had elaborated like you have now I would not have thought it was trolling :) There is a general consensus what realtime analytics is ( memsql.com apparently tries to define it). It certainly is less nebulous than "big da

I had tried to do one recently using OCaml but it was sort of a pain using libtcod or sdl/opengl/ncurses directly. So now I'm thinking about transpiling OCaml to Javascript and using one of the many Javascript rogue like libr

On the 5th floor or so. There probably needs to be a game clock (the usually implementation is hunger or enemies spawning). Otherwise you can just go in a room and walk around till your back to full health. I assume the author knows this.

I'm on the 4th floor but can't seem to go up the stairs to the 5th floor? A staircase leading up is here. And I press '<' but no go.

Some what analogous: OCaml has Modules and Functors (not the normal FP functors but more like signature mappers). OCaml I guess isn't that modern but they did just add First Class modules [1]. [1]: https://realworldocaml.org

I had hard time reading with the formatting of the site even with various "reader" extensions turned on (maybe I'm the only one?). So I looked at the HTML source to figure out why my extensions still couldn't format well

Ditto on Asana. My wife and I use Asana to manage our lives... albeit she does most of the tasks (I really need to improve on that. She is so darn productive).

Thanks for the recommendation! I will check it out for sure!

I mix the two. Citus for offline warehousing and pipelinedb for realtime. I'm very pleased with the results. I mix the two by using a message bus (Kafka + RabbitMQ) I spent a lot of time with Cassandra. It is probably great tech I just

I wanted a db for realtime analytics. I agree on scale-out but scale-up performance I will say Cassandra is not even close to cost to performance ratio of Postgres w/ extensions for a real time analytics. I have legitimate 6months expe

You know if Postgres can just get some better distributed/elastic support it could do some damage. I switched from Cassandra to citus + pipelinedb (and I'm JVM guy). Postgres is such an awesome platform. I'm planning on looki

I just had my first son 3 months ago and I must say he is a delight. I have felt a little guilty about my productivity but it is totally worth it. My best advice is just to stop comparing yourself or your family to other people.

I absolutely hate whiteboard interviews. I have been lucky enough to have had only one whiteboard interview in my career and I will say it was awful. Luckily I didn't really need the job as I had freelance on the side. IIRC the company

I find meat cooked by pressure cookers and especially slow cookers sort of disgusting. Mainly it boils down (pun intended) to the texture and the meat is lacking in caramelization (maillard reaction). But I haven't tried the Instant Po

There are pros and cons to both ways (aka convention over configuration). That is hiding configuration complexity often get fixed with even more internal complexity except now it is hidden. With hiding configuration your ramp up time decrea

If this is going along the lines of S-Expressions I say touche but it is what it is. You need markup instead of code sometimes because you want declarative configuration. You want to sandbox a developer/user. Yeah you can write declara
