Are you also from the US like the other commenter on this sub-thread?

Cool idea!

Is the terminology correct though?

Looking at the showcased disks, in my youth we called these “stiffy disks” - owing to their stiff plastic casing.

We also had “floppy disks” - but these were larger (in size, albeit with less storage capacity) and floppier (the plastic case would bend easily).

I treasured my burgundy Dysan stiffy disk boxes!

Thanks so much! ^_^

This is great thank you!

Neat, thanks for the insight ^_^

Any particular DML tests you’d recommend for the benchmark? Or thoughts on this in general.

redbook.io huh?

Some might argue the Red Book to be “NSA Trusted Networks” a.k.a the ugly red book that won't fit on the shelf.

Article is thin on details and full of changing adverts that scroll you up and down whilst reading (on mobile).

Annoying.

Thank you ^_^

Can someone please ELI5 what this means? Thanks in advance.

An affordable fee I hope.

> Cool band name, too.

Coffin Liquor. It's to die for.

HN poetry right here.

Thanks for sharing.

/me picturing Khaby Lame gesturing his hands at an obvious workaround.

This article was such a cool trip down memory lane, and as an old-timer that hasn’t looked at this stuff since the early 90s (mode13h anyone?) I am so happy to see how strong the scene is today.

> In many large or even medium-sized IT projects, there exists a thermocline of truth, a line drawn across the organizational chart that represents a barrier to accurate information regarding the project’s progress. Those below this level tend to know how well the project is actually going; those above it tend to have a more optimistic (if unrealistic) view.

I wonder if this is unique to IT projects. Could folks from different industries comment?

As an aside, when I read "wetware", I am immediately reminded of this iconic line: "Burn's wetware matches her software"

This is Hacker News after all!

On a related note, does anyone have insight into *why* the Indonesian government is doing this?

Came here to say the same.

Don't want to start a separate comment thread repeating what's been said before, but I felt compelled to contribute to the crescendo of this one instead.

These visualisations are simply great.

Programmer of 30 years here. Studied Big O formally around 20 years ago. Loved the refresher. But beyond all that, I found the in-line animation examples were just superbly executed.

I would have absolutely *loved* this style of teaching in my undergraduate algorithms class. It is tangible and practical - not to mention fun.

Kudos to the author.

The actual IRC discussion (first part of article) that led to this project is majestic. Captures the culture of IRC so beautifully.

Attached to the handle bar, ready for slappin'!

> In the UK, where Canonical and Mark hail from

Minor nitpick, but Mark hails from (and was schooled in) South Africa.

Agree with your overall point.

Thank you! ^_^

And don’t forget

Apologies for hopping on this thread with off topic question, but would you mind describing your setup?

I haven’t tried this in years, but last time I did I had trouble getting pass-through to some of my hardware, in particular my nvidia card.

Agree with your approach 100%!

Comments like this is why I love HN. Thanks for sharing. And RIP to your former colleagues.

Thanks for sharing.

For those that are pressed for time, there is a good Executive Summary on page 8 of the linked PDF report:

This looks really good. The per-row checksums is particularly neat. Good luck to these folks.

Awesome work, thanks for sharing!
