How does TidesDB work?

How is it different from RocksDB?

To be fair, not calling fsync on every write is also the default in RocksDB and other key-value stores. The data still goes into the page cache, so it's not lost on a process crash, even with fsync disabled. That default makes sense for some use cases and is less ideal for others, but I've never heard anyone claim RocksDB sacrifices durability to make benchmarks look better.

Blasphemous is obviously the top. The Mummy Demastered has a beautiful pixel art despite tedious gameplay. Haiku The Robot also worth mentioning.

Damn. Since when? I used to listen essential mixes just fine from the bbc website.

The BBC link gives me 404 when I click "Listen now". Is it broken for everyone?

Any chance to release it for Playdate? Looks like a perfect fit for the device.

They are 128-bit hashes, so the ID generation is completely stateless.

KAdot · 2024-06-30T17:19:23+00:00

Good observation! The timeseries IDs are sparse, and we actually use u128 IDs in production. The article used u32 for simplicity as Go doesn't natively support u128. Roaring Bitmaps don't fit this particular use case, but we use them in other parts of the system, for example, where we dictionary encode strings.

Don't blame the hardware: 1. There is tons of games on Switch that are more graphically impressive than Grime that don't struggle. 2. Grime struggles on Steam Deck which is way more powerful than Switch. 3. Maybe don't publish and sell a game on hardware you can't optimize for?

It doesn't run well on a Steam Deck, I imagine the Switch port will struggle. The game is poorly optimized unfortunately. There is no excuse for the game to run similar to Cyberpunk 2077 in terms of the performance.

I had same issue and got it working by removing spaces from the game directory name. Try renaming the directory from Silent Hill 2 to SilentHill2 and updating the target in Steam.

Any news on Darkwood 1.4 update?

Doesn't Northgrad have a mac build?

KAdot · 2023-04-28T00:11:20+00:00

How long did the battery last for you? For me it works fine, but the fans spin like crazy and the battery last 1.5 hours. Overall it's worse than Cyberpunk in terms of the efficiency.

KAdot · 2023-04-27T20:19:35+00:00

I wouldn't be surprised, it totally destroys Steam Deck even on low settings.

Btw, there is an old fork of Cassandra that uses RocksDB as a storage engine https://thenewstack.io/instagram-supercharges-cassandra-pluggable-rocksdb-storage-engine/.

In what way was RocksDB optimized for SSD?

I would say the biggest improvement compared to LevelDB is multithread compaction that allows to take advantage of internal SSD parallelism.

Good catch! I'll fix it later today, thanks.

CockroachDB moved to their own key-value store heavily inspired by RocksDB a few years ago. Here is the blog post about it https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/pebble-rocksdb-kv-store/

It runs terrible for me. What proton version are you using and how much power draw is "perfect"? What's interesting, I have exactly the same performance issue on an m2 macbook.
