This thread seems actively being burried by HN. Now it's flagged as dupe and the previous thread from yesterday also quickly disappeared from the front page after gaining traction. Why are threads that get tons of upvotes and have acti

Sigh. Please improve your reading comprehension. I didn't "shit on the LibreSSL developers". Anyways, you sound not like someone one can have a sensible conversation with. So I wont be replying further.

Unfortunately that website doesn't load for me. Times out trying to connect to port 443. And the travis build bot says that the tls lib fails to build since about a month.

I am not volunteering because while being fluent in C, I am not very knowledgeable in the realm of crypto. I'd be stupid to do otherwise. I can still point out that there is a big need for such a project. This is a piece of software th

I think unfortunately by now it's high time that we get a complete replacement written in a safer language and one that doesn't carry so much old baggage. And no, LibreSSL is no such thing.

I expected Schneier to have some insight into this story but the blog posting just quotes an article from Engadget and links to another one from techdirt. And those are articles from the time when the site went down two months ago, nothing

Glad to see both etcd and consul support changing multiple keys atomically which I think is a critical feature. Has someone recently compared the two in production? Both projects have made some bigger changes in their Raft implementation si

Prometheus unfortunately has limited long term storage support and it's explicitly not one of their goals. Their goal is "operational monitoring", not analytics. I found that by trying to see if it could be used as a metrics

Is that still the case with Etcd v3? I remember reading somewhere that they were rewriting the Raft implementation in Etcd a good while ago.

Unfortunately Attic seems to be abandoned (last commit 10 months ago). But there is a fork called Borg Backup that is actively maintained.

Anything that handles critical data and sends it encrypted to third parties needs to be open source in this day and age or wont be used by people who take their data serious. Actually it doesn't even need to be sent to third parties to

Neither Dynamo nor BigTable are document stores. And there is no reason why Postgres couldn't handle this kind of stuff. Sure it doesn't come with the needed scaling tools built in but it's doable. I'm running billions o

I wonder why this important event is getting not many upvotes and also ranks lower than other stories with less upvotes but older. Is it getting flagged for being off-topic?

No, I don't think it's obvious nor are you right about this.

First I don't immediately see how to shoot your feet off with this but maybe you can elaborate a bit on why you think so. And secondly, am I getting this right that you are in favor of dumbing everything down while also sacrificing per

No it's not. Etag is completely different. It's a tag that the webserver sends together with the response and which the browser sends to the server which can then return a 304 status code to indicate that the resource has not chan

I measured one query that does a sequential scan over millions of rows. In PG 9.4 this only uses one core. Current versions are adding a feature to parallelize this. If I had run several queries in parallel, PG would have used all cores.

My experience was pretty much the opposite, especially for timeseries data the sequential scan performance of Rethink was pretty bad, especially when you add filters, grouping etc. Postgres gives me about 3-10x the speed. And that takes int

So can you tell me with some proper arguments why what I said doesn't work? I'd be more likely to believe you if you said more than "this is not how the real world works". Thanks.

So? Let the publicity stunts happen. You don't have to pay too much attention to them. You can take valid critizism on board. Look, the thing has to be made public to be voted upon anyways and at that point the small time poltician wit

If you can shred something to pieces then maybe it shouldn't be signed? And if it was good then they wouldn't be able to shred it to pieces. Sounds like you'd be afraid of public discourse.

And the issue with that is...? "complain" just means negative feedback which should be taken into consideration since a draft is a version which is still being worked on. Isn't that how it should really be?
