Hahaha very true let's not go there. Anyway yes I'm a big fan of richly typed schema-less formats as well, even better when they can be read easily by both JS stuff and C++. I'll definitely give it a whirl. Cheers!

It sounds really well designed. Great job Cap'n Proto, I've been following your work for some time! I've also built another message format recently (yes I know, they are never ending). It can't do everything Cap'n

Actually I take that back. I did get GCC-6 installed via PPA. Not sure why the other ones had issues.

It does, but for some reason it didn't seem to work. I was totally unable to install later versions of GCC, CMake or Node. Had to manually install from releases or build from source. Maybe I screwed something up, but I really did try.

Yes, and consider that you can buy an Amazon Echo for $179 ($129 at Lowes)that comes with a subwoofer, WiFi and Bluetooth, seven microphones, an AI and a sense of humor. A pair of rigid plastic Bluetooth headphones that are easily damaged o

Can definitely recommend the ASUS ZenBook line as well. I got one this year, chopped the internal 512GB SSD in half and have Windows and Linux running. It's a beast of a machine with a high DPI touch screen. Real pleasure to use and ve

I use Linux Mint for most of my dev work, but thought I'd give the new Ubuntu subsystem on Windows a try yesterday side it came with the Windows 10 Anniversary update. It seems to work as advertised. My only complaint thus far is that

I use node quite a lot, mostly for prototyping, demos and where I just plain don't have the time or need to use something else. I have no problem with node as an application development platform. Right tool for the right job is fine Th

That is a really good point. Assuming we are all spawned in our own reality, schizophrenia wouldn't be a problem at all assuming there was no observation made of us by a consensus majority. As it is the CAP theorem (under the constrain

Just curious... Any recommendations for the easiest to drop-in pretty looking charting library that supports dynamic streamed data from a WebSocket. For instance, let's say I want to show an dynamic CPU usage graph of one of my servers

That was the citation :-) Seriously though, Node is written in C++ and is a single threaded interpreted / Jitted / Garbage Collected Virtual Machine which has to jump through trampolines and layers of abstraction to call system se

Hey quick question, and sounds awesome. If I wanted to use this in the pipeline of my servers Journaling system, is there any requirement that I restart the stream periodically. That is to say, should I use it per journal entry (probably

Interesting you picked Dutch/American. Did you know about the DAFT? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DAFT I don't know about using it to go to the US, but for a Dutch Visa it wasn't so painful.

Someone pointed out the original paper, which has better estimates than my back of the napkin calculation for traffic throughput. Good stuff. Still would love to know more about the internals of their servers and support infrastructure.

Thanks, much better!

Can anyone provide more information on the server infrastructure than this article: http://www.techhive.com/article/2158040/how-netflix-streams-... It claims each server serves up to 10,000 streams simultaneously.

Yup, and even better when you aren't even tied to any language.

It means all the code is defined in-line in the header file, inside the class definition, instead of the more traditional method of using a header and an associated cpp file. A lot of the C++ standard library (STL) and Boost are header on

It is an interesting idea. There just seems a lot wrong with the presentation of the benchmark comparisons... Specifically where is a full suite of comparisons as compared with other libraries for time and space, insert and retrieval. Hell,

by socmag 10y ago
I agree. Two million inserts per second is very low. It should be close to an order of magnitude more.

What are you talking about. How do tuples preclude the requirement of a way to hash? That's a very naive way to map using the delimeter of the tuple parts. You might have interior elements that are 10k long.

I'm using Cedar to store arbitrary order preserving tuples. After a lot of perf testing, and that library along with others had the same issue with not allowing null bytes. Initially i thought it was a deal breaker, especially since I

The title of the post itself sends shudders. What does it feel like? It feels like a blessing to have known what was and what is now. Certainly gives one perspective. It feels like Wow

The only hash table worth competing with is Cedar. That can even be better, but the standard distribution is pretty damn awesome as it is IMHO, and I've tested a lot.

Let his aspirations decide the language. Nobody ever got fired for learning C. Python is a great start for ML, JavaScript for the internet. Anything else is a plus. He is lucky to be in Seattle; the only requirement is putting the time in a
