lpincaon Ask HN: How is actually Italy confirming SARS-Cov2 cases?

> There is NO WAY in hell the Italians have tested over 200,000 patients for SARS-Cov2 in a matter of 2-3 weeks due to

See https://lab24.ilsole24ore.com/coronavirus/#box_6 that graphs shows the number of tampons per day.

https://lab24.ilsole24ore.com/coronavirus/#box_5 total tampons: 233222. The source is the Italian Ministry of Health.

Also in Italy, unlike what happens in other countries, all deceased people positive to the test are classified as "Covid deaths", regardless of the simultaneous presence of other serious diseases.

How is this better than https://httpstatuses.com/

lpincaon Redis on Acid: 0.5M ops/sec, 1ms latency and ACID compliance

I'm not sure how the append only mode works but I tried to run a script (appendfsync directive set to always) which sets a new key in an endless loop and kill the server in the middle of the execution.

No changes are written to the AOF so I guess the operation is atomic.

lpincaon More than one million requests per second in Node.js

Did you ever try to disable permessage-deflate with ws? It will never be as lightweight as uws because ws is built on top of `net.Socket` but I think you hit this ws issue https://github.com/websockets/ws/issues/804 in the WebTorrent tracker.

I think ws will use 3/4 times more memory than uws with permessage-deflate disabled which is a lot, but far different from 47 times as advertised.

lpincaon uWebSockets 0.10.0

It's your idea of transparency which I don't like, not your project.

lpincaon uWebSockets 0.10.0

Yes, for 100k connection, using Alex's own benchmarks I saw that uws is up to 2x faster/more lightweight than ws except for the short message throughput where uws really shines and is up to 10x faster. It is a lot, don't get me wrong but the numbers on the README are obtained comparing the C++ server with ws which is totally wrong imho.

lpincaon uWebSockets 0.10.0

For 100k connections your own benchmarks showed a different story. Now I didn't try with 1 million and I guess it gets worse so I trust you but I can try with removing the upgrade request, the event emitter, etc from ws to start at least with a fair comparison.

lpincaon uWebSockets 0.10.0

`ws` is another popular WebSocket implementation for Node.js

lpincaon uWebSockets 0.10.0

Congrats for this achievement. For anyone using this in Node.js I strongly suggest to run your own benchmarks as uws is no way 47x 18x 33x and 2x times faster/more lightweight than ws. Also check how the improvements are obtained.

lpincaon Deepstream.io – Open Realtime Server

I'm still confused. You are announcing 1.0 but the actual version is 1.1

lpincaon Deepstream.io – Open Realtime Server

I'm confused. 1.1 has been released 13 days ago https://github.com/deepstreamIO/deepstream.io/releases/tag/v...

lpincaon Ask HN: Are you still using Socket.IO?

Take a look at https://github.com/primus/primus.

lpincaon uWebSockets: Scalable WebSocket server library for Node.js and C++11

The project is young but looks promising.

lpincaon From Node.js to Go

I wonder what was the WebSocket module used in Node. There is this new module https://github.com/alexhultman/uWebSockets which is very promising.

Maybe a bit out of topic but take a look at this https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome-nodejs and this http://nodeschool.io/

lpincaon Show HN: Twilert – Emails in real time when your brand is mentioned on Twitter

It's nice, but why should i pay for this when i can write a simple bot that runs 24/7 and does the same thing for free? At least add a free plan.

lpincaon CentOS 7 potential release

Title updated.

lpincaon Introducing Socket.io 1.0

Yes it does, but if you are building something that works perfectly only using websockets (e.g. a command-line utility), why would you use engine.io?

You can tell engine.io to only use websockets, but what's the point if you can use websockets directly and have the same API?

lpincaon Introducing Socket.io 1.0

You can't use both. In Primus you can select only one transformer, listed above by V1, but if something doesn't work, you can just switch it with a single line of code. No rewrites, no need to learn a new API.

lpincaon Introducing Socket.io 1.0

Congrats for the release, but i will keep using https://github.com/primus/primus.

No module lock-in!

Yes i'm a bit biased.

Yeah, but it's a limitation.
