Neat! Hadn't heard of M3DB before, but cursory poke around the docs seems like it's a pretty solid solution/approach. My current use case isn't monitoring, or even time series anymore, but will keep M3DB in mind next ti

Just wanted to say I am super impressed with the work TimescaleDB has been doing. Previously at NGINX I was part of a team that built out a sharded timeseries database using Postgres 9.4. When I left it was ingesting ~2 TB worth of monitor

Ah I think I see the disconnect. I was trying to make a nuanced observation that these aren't just riots. Re-reading my original comment, I find my phrasing lacking so mea culpa. So it would seem re-reading the thread with that con

You offered your proximal living location as a claim to credibility. I offered my own proximity as an equal claim to credibility. And I did stay on target, let me re-quote myself: > And what I said is that there is violence going on an

Ok hold up. I actually live in Portland. There is definitely underplaying of the criminal activity going on by the media, but these are NOT riots. Now I am not sympathetic to those who claim that Police aren't justified in declaring

I too have seen the case when a developer will ask for more information in order to game the process. While this is arguably (and I would agree) a failure of the process since it incentivizes undesirable behavior, you can quickly wind up i

This is a sort of broad question, but if I were to try and answer I would say that if there is anything you want to be handled by the database you would gravitate towards an extension. PostGIS is a great example since one of the most well k

I am sure MySQL is a great fit for your use case. For others reading your comment though, I did want to list some things I have used with Postgres that relate to connection pooling and data partitioning: * PGBouncer for connection pooling&#

True, but the quote was "signed by Apple" so the real question is how much malware is signed by Apple? I have no idea what the actual figure is, so I am mildly curious, but my hunch is not much (if any).

Neat! Felt a little nostalgic seeing reading the title as it was a somewhat big emphasis as the "next thing to do" when I was part of the NGINX Amplify team. In case you didn't know, the configuration parsing library we crea

I didn't reference the article because I provided more detailed references which explore the difference between threads and coroutines in Python to a much greater depth. The point of my comment is to say that neither threads or corouti

I have been a heavy Ubuntu user for awhile now and currently I have a Dell Precision 55 with Ubuntu 18.04 (came with it) for work and a Lenovo X1 Extreme with PopOS (18.04) that I installed on my personal machine. I think I would install

I have spent most of my (limited) career scaling PostgreSQL with (IMO) surprisingly good results. Most recently I have been using Citus and it has been ridiculously easy to shard data. To be fair I have only been exposed to workloads of a f

That's fine, but it still doesn't quite intuit when you consider: Do I know the same amount about whether their age or their car colors differ? : Yes And that is the crux of the intuitive breakdown of 3VL IMO.

I have lived in Python ~80% of my career (~50% now) currently), although a large chunk of my career was writing 2.7 compatible with 2.6 (thanks RHEL). For the last year and a half I have written 3.6+ exclusively and I didn't realize t
