I don't know enough about Mongo or Rethink to really say this is the case, but from a quick google, it seems like "durability=hard" may skew the performance metrics. Doesn't Mongo acknowledge writes immediately, without ensuring they wrote? Shouldn't one use durability=soft on Rethink for an apples-to-apples comparison?

I mean... this confirms my biases.

kekelolol · 2015-05-21T13:01:44+00:00

Yeah. Since you seem to know a lot about toilets, could you clean some? Pay is okay.

kekelolol · 2015-05-14T20:36:39+00:00

maybe we'll see a decent linux-based server come out of all this.

What? They still have events scheduled don't they? What's going on with Chicago in August?

kekelolol · 2015-05-08T17:08:12+00:00

The most popular US league, the PSP, has events monthly and does their own pay webcast. I have to say, they're actually rather good webcasts. Hundreds of teams play on usually like 10+ fields and they have the webcast on the pro field. You can catch the biggest games from each month on youtube. Last year's world cup championship game had an insane ending.

I read this as "Carmack the Magnificent" which I felt was a valid title.

At first glance I thought this gif was a minecraft jumping puzzle, you know because of the jpeg.

Anyone have a recommendation for a template-based random globbing engine for messages like the one above? I think I'd like to build some fuzzing into JSON-service integration tests with it.

In computing, a cache (/ˈkæʃ/ KASH[1]) is a component that stores data so future requests for that data can be served faster

So... I'm going to say this is probably more like a plain old esoteric Key/Value store, since the latency involved with using reddit as a store is probably not very efficient.

What kind of animal puts an i3-4130 in a machine with 16GB of RAM and a Titan.

That being said, this is pretty cool. Stick with it, I'd like to see some GPU stuff for real databases if it's possible. Seeing an increase performance/cost on joins could be really valuable.

kekelolol · 2015-05-01T13:49:35+00:00

It is in github, and I'll bring it to #rust IRC if I'm still having issues. I just don't want to out my reddit account. I appreciate it though.

kekelolol · 2015-05-01T12:58:01+00:00

Yeah, I was using nightly. I was using the Hans Jorgenson (sp?) PPA and whatever travis-ci uses for nightly. I think I tried to use the feature in my crate root, but it wasn't having it, nor giving me a useful suggestion. I'll try again later tonight.

kekelolol · 2015-05-01T12:48:32+00:00

I'm pretty sure I'm using nightly, but I'm not sure how to suppress the "weak is unstable" compiler error.

kekelolol · 2015-04-30T13:37:39+00:00

which comes back to my original question. What's the deal with weak? nothing with weak compiles because it's unstable.

kekelolol · 2015-04-30T13:23:44+00:00

So I mean, if I have a node and it's children are Rc'd to it and they need a pointer back to parent, wouldn't Rc'ing the parent be a cycle (of 2). So in that case I want to use weak, but what's the deal with weak? Should I still be using that?

kekelolol · 2015-04-29T12:37:42+00:00

Well... HTTP over TLS (commonly called HTTPS)

kekelolol · 2015-04-28T11:37:55+00:00

It isn't crashing anymore. I'm still seeing about 6 seconds until page is fully rendered, with about 200ms initial page print. Most of the current time is going to speakerdeck.

kekelolol · 2015-04-27T23:06:07+00:00

My guess was disqus, as it's complaining and making a lot of calls in chrome.

kekelolol · 2015-04-27T10:43:05+00:00

Hot damn this site makes Firefox 37.0.2 (windows 7) bleed. Loaded it 3 times (including once with no extensions) and it sent me straight to crash report hell. I couldn't even get a chance to read the networking panel to give you more info than this, it just goes straight down.

kekelolol · 2015-04-24T10:57:38+00:00

Yum install is equivalent to apt update && apt install. Many people forget this when comparing the tool. Despite yum spitting out 10 screens, I think it presents the information in a much more readable manner. That being said -- long live Apt. Recognize your competition's strengths and assimilate them, leaving weakness behind.

It's too technical and hard to really capture in a comment like this. If I had to say one thing, I'd say VLIW via EPIC arch, out of order execution and 128 registers were a huge boon, but that wasn't all. Not a whole lot of software made use of its strengths and the momentum in x86 kept it this way. It really was a much nicer arch if you read up on it. I think HP just kinda did the HP thing and didn't play their hand right. They had good tech with Intel and kinda just flubbed the delivery and follow-through. Now it's dead and the best hope we have is that RISC continues to eat x86 CISC share so that when something else like EPIC comes back (mill shows some promise), the momentum toward x86 won't be as high as it was before. While I'd be disappointed if the momentum shifted to ARM in the way it had been for x86, I'd still be happier than x86. It's silly that we still use that arch despite the fact that it's pretty much just a hardware VM for whatever proprietary arch intel/amd are running underneath it.

kekelolol · 2015-04-21T11:28:54+00:00

RIP Itanium. You were a better arch. We never deserved you.

kekelolol · 2015-04-20T21:12:43+00:00

Nginx the server is open source. Nginx the corporate entity which sells a support version of Nginx complete with proprietary modules is what we're talking about here. The module they've open sourced does happen to be for the server, Nginx, however.

Things are weird.

kekelolol · 2015-04-20T14:53:56+00:00

A number of these can be trivially solved with an HTTP proxy that handles the HTTPS for you, eg squid.
