Well that's the thing right. All that freed up IO time, can now be used for other queries!

Now multiply all that saved time out by thousands of potential end users.

I'll give you some real corporate context. A scheduled task, pulling from a 65GB table with hundred of millions of rows, and no indexes. It runs for hours, and completes with accurate data. During that time, it also saturated a 10Gbit

I don't see how any of that makes sense in the context of database queries. Slow running queries are done correctly? Google has it all wrong then. I can't believe we're even arguing about the merits of low latency. If I can r

Sorry, being fast is an arbitrary requirement? That's the entire premise of this article and discussion. The point being that most ARE NOT taking it into consideration and making it one.

This type of attitude is what scares me.

It wouldn't be a waste of time if it was just done right the first time. Generally these are queries running much more frequently than once a year, because that's how I get involved with them. Sure, there is always outlier consequ

I've been taking this philosophy to heart the past few years. Working in the corporate world, I find users acceptance level to be in the tens of seconds/minutes/HOURS?! for queries and reports. Projects I've worked on ha

Servers generally tip out a percentage to the guys behind closed doors. That means cooks, dishwashers, etc.

"Real Humans Get You Get Stuff Done", am I having an issue with reading comprehension, or is that nonsensical?

I looked it up, I get it, but this post and the site, are targeting English speaking.

My unprofessional professional opinion. The product looks great, but the name has to go. I can't imagine pronouncing that, let alone communicating it over a phone. Any simple word before analytics would be better. Edit: pineapplytics i

Even the cheapest droplet can handle that workload. I've spun up dozens of projects at that level, and few have gotten hugged without any adverse affects.

So foolish. Not even putting crappy ads on there, yet paying to renew it yearly. What could the logic possibly be? Valve probably wouldn't even entertain it at this point.

What exactly are sites like these running on, that they can't handle MAYBE a few hundred simultaneous users? I don't get it.

The presence of a mezcal worm is a good indication of a shit product using marketing. No one drinks that stuff unless they are naive.

All you need is a clever marketing name, like Chilean Sea Bass. Problem solved.

People generally don't know what they want. Expecting anything but a small percentage to customize their UI, let alone even know or care that feature exists, is optimistic at best. Think outside of the HN bubble, the other 99.999% of p

Harder to do tasks we take for granted now, sure. But today's games are EXTREMELY complex in comparison. Old games were intentionally made extremely difficult, to counter their simplicity in design. Else you'd be done with the who

Trees are being cut down because humans can't control their lust for beef. The water / environment issue can be greatly reduced by eating more plants.

Any even better solution, use a wired mouse and keyboard. Why do I need to deal with batteries for something that doesn't move more than a few inches from its destination? We've banned wireless peripherabls in our organization, be

Well for the rest of us, old CPUs do just fine in 99.99999% of cases :) RAM is cheap, and a good GPU is really all that matters at this point.

That's not true at all. I've traveled to most corners of the world, and the vast majority are little blocks of bar soap. Shampoo and Conditioner are usually the only in liquid form.

I suppose if your goal is 100+ fps that's probably valid for high fidelity multiplayer games like battlefield, but there is no way even an ancient CPU can't handle games like CSGO at many multiples of that. I value real estate and

See samoa below, half of his friends using iphone disable imessage??? It's nonsensical. iMessage works wonderfully.

I never understood this, why would anyone want to deal with ANOTHER app to do messaging? iMessage is built in, integrated, and has end to end encryption. What more functionality are people clamoring for?

I think people get a little over zealous with CPU requirements on games. If my eight year old Xeon 5676 can handle every past and present game I throw at it, I think you'll be beyond spec for years to come with a Zen 2(or any modern pr

Microtransactions exist because people continue to dump a ton of money into them. They wouldn't otherwise. Magic has digital game people don't see to have any issue buying into. The problem is that Valve implemented them in a way

I mean, this is exactly how card games work. People don't seem to have an issue buying into expensive Magic decks. You don't NEED to have the best though, no shame in drafting and pauper decks.
