For years I've often had endless fears when dealing with government departments and websites that are not clear, even more convoluted or not kept up to date. But I have actually found gov.uk to be really straight to the point and concise this past year or so. It's a fantastic change and one that other governments should look at emulating!

This actually looks pretty useful for PHP devs that don't want to go and setup a full MongoDB application/server/etc.

Have you done any benchmarks on this at all?

Where does it start falling over and taking ages to respond?

Does `query` traverse all the JSONs each time, or do you create some sort of index to check through instead?

Usually around ~100-200GB

That's incredible. How long did it take to write 0.5s of data to disk? I'm guessing there's no way to sustain this as you'd be so far behind after only a single second. I'm pretty sure we can still only store a few gigs per second. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Very interesting though!

I'd be quite interested to benchmark this in production, possibly as a master replica to see how it compares in real-time.

What is the best way to pull real-time metrics from it into some sort of dashboard?

Interesting view-point, unfortunately often true though

The whole thing that it is an ahead-of-time compiler, that is, it runs in advance of execution rather than generating code when a procedure is first executed.. Is very cool.

This is incredibly sad and moving.

It's such a shot directly to everyone; you really need to put silly things behind you and love the ones that love you.

What's the bet that Trump will start using this in-place of his Twitter account..

Hetzner rocks, have used them for years and they are super reliable and their (more recent) cloud hosting options are dead cheap but also really good!

Great to see them features on HN!

Moving beyond a 64-bit architecture will allow manipulation of memory address spaces that are larger than 16 Exabytes. Even high-end servers today do not contain more than 1TB of physical memory. It would take several decades if not more for memory densities to become high enough to begin to reach the boundary that 64-bit addressing limits computers.

So yes, highly likely for a little while..

Is it realistic to presume that space debris orbiting around the earth will only ever get worse, or will it effectively remain the same to some degree of consistency?

Or is it more of a thing that it only becomes more of a noticeable problem for us as humans when we are affected. Meaning that the only reason we have a problem with it now as opposed to some previous timespan is that we are sending more and more objects/satellites/etc into orbit and they are being damaged/destroyed/affected, so we therefore write about it and try and come up with ways to stop it?

I've always been super interested in reverse engineering from a young age when I first started changing application flows by breaking them down in NASM and MASM.

Since then I have always looked into variations of the technique delving into specific components and architectural pieces.

The PCB as an embedded device gives a similar field of exploration.

I'd highly recommend people do similar things, it really teaches you a heck of a lot as a software engineer.

It's quite cool that Logo’s turtle occupies a certain position in Logo "space", and can be moved relative to that position by using commands such as fd (forward), rt (right turn) and so forth.

It's like the concept sets an absolute space relative to something and all positions within that are relative from the baseline coordinate. Much as CSS container wrapping works when you set an absolute within a relative.

I have always seen Lenovo as being quite good with Linux, but these sort of things make me wonder if I should be placing more interest in Dell once again..

Was just about to purchase a new Lenovo to run Linux on.. Can anyone recommend what they think would be a good route to take at the moment?

Any new good Lenovos or other coming out later this year?

tldr; "no"

I have been programming since I was 11 when I first started in Turbo Pascal and Borland C++ (somewhat simultaneously), I then started working as a teenager doing freelance work and getting some cash on the side (which was great). I never had internet back then as it wasn't around yet, so learning to get programs to work and debugging things was a minefield, and I loved it!

I then moved countries and got work visas on my ability, bought houses and raised a family, spoilt everyone along the way.

I'm glad I made those decisions more than 20 years ago, and I still enjoy everyday and what I do!

How does networking work with this?

Do your base images need to adhere to some kind of network interface configuration at all?

Does this mean that all Apple devices will soon be able to utilise the same input devices? Such as Mice, Keyboards, etc?

I'm not entirely sure, but it would be interesting to read this bug report from mozilla as some what of a follow on for anyone trying to answer this: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53880

A bigger move towards decentralisation and a much bigger realisation about privacy concerns.

I used to live right there in that province and never knew how old they were, this is really interesting!

Thanks for posting.

Id love to see someone else do this

Sucks that I can't look at this on my cellphone..

Beautiful as expected Jon, thanks.

Your UI kit feels really nice, good job.

Is there a reason that the libraries have been renamed from 7.0 to 7?

In my company I am a software engineer and my colleague is a data scientist, our current project that we work together on does a lot of NLU and NLP type work (think bots) and our skillsets often don't overlap and are both equally valuable to the projects success. That is, I tend to write the infrastructure and platform code that ties everything together and deal with all the software engineering type work, while my data scientist feeds in trained models and the likes. Both are necessary to handle contractual requests/responses as per our scope design.

While this is an interesting post to read, it is also about 7 years old.

It's quite cool how the transcript goes to say "There's no reason this couldn't be as big as Ebay. And this team is the right one to do it."

Turns out that literally was the case! Good call Paul!

Hands down "thenewboston", that guy rocks!

He has videos about numerous programming languages and goes into absolute depth on most of them!

It's fascinating that they were able to get 9000 years of data from a mere 50 meters of ice!

Easy and to the point, I like it.

I sent a quick PR for some input validation around replacing if a full URL is pasted.
