Real-Time. Consistency. High-Availability. Concurrency. Words with too many different meanings are not sufficient for describing softwares. I treat those words as marketing terms.

Feasible for my personal use. 100 free daily quota. 1000 calls per 5$. I'm not affiliated with Google.

There is another option: Google offers a paid API for search.

Thanks for your insight. My experience is that not all people (re)search, for some people, social media is their only source of information online.

Just adding another piece of info. R-Tree is a generic solution to spatial queries. For static datasets that don't need to update, quadtree or kd-tree is simpler to understand and implement.

SpatiaLite is a great extension for spatial functions, it is very useful for implementing location-based services. And I like the idea of extending SQLite just for the simplicity of file base DB. A slightly related problem I encountered sev

Another interesting fact about jellyfish is that they are brainless and mindless.

Cool. But the aspect ratio is changed after the conversion.

It's just personal preference. Books that just give information (especially techs) are replaced by the Internet. Other books are supposed to teach me something, but my experience is that I learn stuff by doing and thinking rather than

Good idea. You could also show comment counts on the page. I often use comment counts to decide which one to read.

I am surprised that the warning message is that long. The first 4 lines of the text contain nearly zero information. Most warning messages I see in real life are succinct.

This is a single executable web server with Lua and other libs, with a zip file appended. I have done something similar with Python+tcltk.

I read that pageservers are shared between users. What if the memory capacity of the pageserver becomes the bottleneck? eg: some users perform full table scans and make most page access fallbacks to s3. Sorry for one more dumb question.

I'm not familiar with postgres or cloud architectures and I have a few dumb questions. Is the pageserver act as a page cache for s3? Does the postgres compute also have an internal cache? If so, this looks like multiple levels of memor

So there is a difference between what people are supposed to do and what people actually do. What I am wondering now is why IPv6 didn't adapt NAT as a first class feature, if IPv6 added something like port number in IPv6 header, NAT co

by mister_goo 4y ago
Newer protocols like QUIC are encapsulated by UDP instead of adding new protocol numbers. NAT box breaks because NAT must be implemented for each protocol (port number not at IP level).

I always turn off font anti-alias where possible. Some fonts are pixel perfect without AA while others are not. I hate aliased text with passion.

I'm just curious because Cloudflare seems to offer the same service. And Github itself can publish pages. How do you compete with them?
