   Thanks for your suggestion. At the moment I am looking into bulk operations for categories. But I might give it a go later. Not sure how fast it will be. It would need to run on 400 MByte of text!

   Really difficult to track are issues caused by things like the map function now returning an iterator object. I.e. the content of the iterator is empty on second use. Python 3.4.3 (default, Oct 14 2015, 20:28:29) [GCC 4.8.4] on linux

    Many languaged have rational numbers (fractions) and big integers in their stack. This has the advantage that one has full control over where and when to trade off performance against accuracy.

    If you are looking for a self-hosted video site, I can really recommend CumulusClips. It is quite easy to setup and does the job quite well.

    I have used RethinkDB and must say this is one of the most polished pieces of software I have ever used. The only think I am wondering is, whether the project could have moved faster if it had not been implemented in C++.

    Alan Kay's work is not about how to ship the product within the next 2 months. But it can be helpful to listen to his talks in order to maintain a longer term view and to see fundamental limitations in the way we do things.
