Thanks for the info. I guess my follow up question is why doesn't Dgraph end up caching all the data on every node when it has the memory to do so? Is this a planned feature that you just haven't implemented yet?

The thing is this benchmark uses a small data set and no concurrent writes. This means that the data set can be trivially cached in memory on every single instance. In this benchmark there is theoretically no need for different database nod

Nix has a generator that generates a Nix file based on an npm package including SHAs and locked down versions. Unfortunately because typical JS packages use a bajillion dependencies each recursively these Nix files can be tens of thousands

Indeed, he's probably subtracting the revenue from the tax from the "cost", which is misleading.

My preferred answer (although others may differ) is that it should be the same for everyone. If you can't afford to live where you are now, move somewhere cheaper or get a job. If you're jobless and can't afford an expensive

You can avoid that easily using more conservative MAGIC (actually a reference to an HCI paper) that only moves the mouse pointer when you want it to.

Eyes don't point a things we look at as accurate as a mouse does (they only aim within the fovea, about 1 degree angular, corresponding to about 1cm on the screen) and eye trackers are often far worse. This summer I built a system that

It seems to me like that you could have the causality of that correlation reversed. People that don't have "talent" may consistently underperform those who do despite working hard and trying their best, causing them to realiz

Rust does exactly this in many cases. All the integer types have methods like 'count_ones' for popcount and 'trailing_zeros' for ctz, things that are intrinsics in other languages. See http://doc.rust-lang.org

Agreed. The presence of a streak counter on Github did more for my productivity than any other feature or factor. They're a tremendously powerful self-motivation tool. Whenever I'm not on a streak I always find some excuse to sit

Yes, AFAIK you can build docker containers with Nix on any Linux machine with the nix package manager installed. You can even build them on OSX if you configure your OSX Nix install with a remote build machine that runs Linux (yes, Nix can

One thing I would love to see if I was an investor looking at this idea is a whole bunch of back of calculations. Do you have calculations using estimates of potential drag, thrust and lift that show that this idea might be viable? What if

This is blatantly illegal right? I can't see anything on this page that makes me think this was in any way ethical either. It could be a hoax but I'm not gonna download hundreds of megabytes of (potentially stolen) data to find ou

This looks amazingly comprehensive and high quality for a non mainstream language. I wonder how difficult it would be to get something like Rust, Nim, D or Crystal to be able to call the FreePascal ABI and link with this.

I really want to like this but it could do with a better summary explanation of how it works. I'm not sure I can understand the security properties of this without reading the 70 page whitepaper. The whitepaper also mentions it is buil

Can you give an example of what you have tried to do in Nix that you couldn't do well due to lack of power? I imagine it is something rather fancy since for most configuration tasks Nix is significantly more powerful than other config

The name on this post is misleading, it should probably at least have a [1994] at the end. But AFAIK it also contradicts the HN rule to have the title be the page title, although just an RFC number would be a confusing title.

This sounds like unnecessary complexity as well as something that could cause problems. I don't think there is a need to restrict people to necessities when paying them a minimal income, they'll do that themselves. It is overly ju

The trick is that Qt5 != Qt Quick. There aren't many bindings to Qt5 since the binding surface is enormous and very C++-like. The QML bindings for other languages don't have to cover much surface area though. They look minimal but

You're right in that it isn't the exact same paradigm as React, but it ends up working out the same way. You write a declarative description of how you want your app to look given a source of data, and then the UI updates when the

I read this book a while ago and it was pretty good. Qt5 is really underused for how good it is. It's a really good platform for making native apps and it even has bindings for many different languages. And since it can be used for IOS

If it is effective, that is absolutely a reasonable price to pay. Whether it is reasonable given the uncertainty of the effectiveness is debatable. I also imagine that the high price might be a conscious tactic to increase effectiveness: Pe
