Your probability of high-scale success is extremely low. So use whatever technology you are most comfortable and efficient with, keep your code as simple as possible, and then worry about scaling later.

That's exactly what it does do! Everything is served from the sqlar table inside the database. Is there a bit of the documentation that doesn't make that clear?

Are there any sensible ways to do this with Django? Ideally with migrations to create and update the views.

Any plans to launch this for RDS?

Complaining about posts that are trying to raise awareness of and find solutions to climate meltdown feels a bit like criticising a fire alarm for disturbing your sleep.

Calling this "spam" implies the poster hopes to profit from his actions. In this case, the poster literally wants to save the entire planet.

I wonder if other eagles ever do this? Maybe a distant Golden Eagle swimming in a Scottish loch might be mistaken for a large aquatic creature of some kind - Nessie? Birds are dinosaurs, after all..

For us, this takes Trello from $0 to ~$5000 per year, with roughly one month notice.

This looks great, and the query syntax is fairly easy to pick up (just from the "tips" in the UI - I haven't been able to find the documentation yet). The idea of connecting the parts of the query with pipe characters reminds me of https://stedolan.github.io/jq/

The feature where you can add the queries to a Cloudwatch dashboard seems to be a bit broken at the moment. First, the version of the query that I copied to a dashboard didn't seem to respect the time limit I'd set so instead of looking at the last hour, it was looking at all time - could get accidentally very expensive! Also, I couldn't see a way to show the visualisation (ie the stats graph) on the dashboard - just the raw table of query results, which is not ideal. Hopefully I've missed something, or those niggles will be sorted out soon.

Overall, very impressive!

Very much like a Yamaha Tenori-On. Nice work.

If I wanted to make something that (say) reports sensor readings over MQTT to AWS IoT, what firmware options are there? NodeMCU looked great (Lua!) but doesn't seem to support X509 client certificates (which AWS needs). There's Arduino, Mongoose, Micropython - any others? What's the best way to go?

Travel to the island of Islay (off the west coast of Scotland) and head to the tiny village of Portnahaven. From there, walk north along the coast for half an hour or so and look out for the Islay LIMPET, the world's first commercial wave power device connected to the United Kingdom's National Grid.

It looks like this (photo I took when I was there earlier in the year) https://www.instagram.com/p/BD1Ao-1IaXi/

Details: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islay_LIMPET

It's not a "tour" (it's unmanned) but it's fascinating. While you're on Islay, you can also enjoy whisky, wildlife and being in one of the most beautiful places on the planet.

So to clarify: if I'm an organisation with 100 private repositories, and I add an outside collaborator with access to just one of them, I have to pay $9 a month for them?

I was quite excited about this change (we're an agency with a large number of repos and a relatively small number of users) until I read your comment.

Sorry if this is a stupid question (I don't know anything about LTSpice) but would it be possible to actually feed a guitar signal through this simulation and run it out into an amp, in real time?

I saw Gary Moore supporting B. B. King back in 2006. That was a good night.

It's pretty amusing that "it writes your data to disk before acknowledging the write" is something that has to be described as "impressive" and written in bold text when talking about a database. MongoDB really has lowered the bar.

That said, I love the look of Rethink and I can't wait to give it a try.

For those who are curious, this is called "eu-central-1" (Ireland is "eu-west-1").

Creative Commons licensed?

Q: Can I apply a Creative Commons license to software?

A: We recommend against using Creative Commons licenses for software. Instead, we strongly encourage you to use one of the very good software licenses which are already available. We recommend considering licenses made available by the Free Software Foundation or listed as “open source” by the Open Source Initiative.

It'd be really interesting to hear from an engineer at one of the big MySQL users (I'm thinking Twitter, Facebook, Github) how they solve this problem.

The Brighton to London trip is just over 50 minutes on the fastest currently available route, which has two stops (East Croydon and Clapham Junction). The BBC article linked in another comment [1] mentions that the train used to make this video was a specially commissioned non-stop trip, so I expect it took a bit less than 50 minutes (assuming it was going at the same speed, of course).

Similar idea, same tech, more mature (but more complex?): https://github.com/globocom/thumbor

I'm not a Rubyist, but if I'm reading the section of the README that describes the design [1] correctly, the closest Python equivalent (architecturally speaking) is Waitress [2].

It would be nice if GitHub added better support for column-oriented data in diffs, too. This article shows how it could work, with an example implementation in a fork of GitLab: http://theodi.org/blog/adapting-git-simple-data

Django was released a year after Rails.

I'd love to see a 2013 update on some of these numbers.

Five years ago, I used the previous closed-source version of NuPIC for my MSc thesis to build an evolutionary simulation of a predator/prey relationship to evolve camouflage patterns. The NuPIC network was the "predator", trying to categorise "prey" patterns against background images. I only scratched the surface of what it could do, but it worked incredibly well.

It looks like this new version is a completely different implementation [1] but, in my experience, the idea is sound and the approach is very promising.

I'd love to revisit the project at some point. The fact that this is now open source makes that much more appealing.

I find it's really useful for beginners to clearly understand what's actually happening under the covers before they start adding magical stuff on top. They can always add magic later, if they prefer that approach.
