Purchased. Thanks!

Any chance you have an HN discount code? :-)

100% this! Just curious--what's your business?

When a sum like that is awarded, it usually goes to an appeals court which strikes it down.
whitepoplar··on The New Timescale Cloud
For someone who simply wants ultra-scalable Postgres (~2B rows per month ingested) that is only loosely "time series", can you share your thoughts on TimescaleDB vs Citus (w/ newly released columnar functionality)? When should someone choose one over the other? Thanks!

whitepoplar··on Ask HN: What're some great cities to live for $2k USD per month?
I think my bar for learning a language is being able to fit in socially without being "that guy who only speaks English/broken [insert language]". I'm sure I could learn barebones German in a short while, but feeling shut out of social activity because I don't speak with fluency doesn't sound like a fun.
whitepoplar··on Ask HN: What're some great cities to live for $2k USD per month?
That's okay!
whitepoplar··on Ask HN: What're some great cities to live for $2k USD per month?
My thought is that if I only spend 1-2 years in a place, if it takes me a year or more to learn the language, I may be ready to leave by the time I've gotten a handle on it.

Sounds like customers are in good hands!

Haven't played around with Fly yet, but it seems amazingly well-suited to LiveView apps and y'all seem like great people in general. Is there a Fly solution for if someone needed a big swinging...database? I guess one fear is getting locked into Fly + LiveView given latency concerns with alternative hosting providers, but outgrowing Fly's database offerings.
whitepoplar··on How we got to LiveView
Yes, I'm curious to hear about the patterns people use to structure their LiveView apps, particularly large ones.

If one wanted to learn LiveView today, what's the best resource to learn? Also, will there be improvements to the LiveView latency story (if it's even possible) when providing a service to a global audience? Thanks for all your work!

I loved CDMX when I visited! I stayed in Roma Norte and had a very fun time. How's the safety situation as a long-term resident? Also, that last sentence is very intriguing! How does that work in practice? Does the government simply not monitor this very closely?

I really enjoyed Vienna last time I visited. I got the impression that fluent German would be necessary in order to live there. I'm totally into learning new languages, but fear that I wouldn't be able to learn German quick enough to settle in. What's your take on this?
whitepoplar··on Ask HN: What're some great cities to live for $2k USD per month?
I visited several years ago and enjoyed staying in Roma Norte. I can see why the prices are skyrocketing. Which neighborhoods would you suggest I look at?
whitepoplar··on Ask HN: What're some great cities to live for $2k USD per month?
Will check out, thanks! Do you have any thoughts on Belgrade or Bucharest?
whitepoplar··on Ask HN: What're some great cities to live for $2k USD per month?
The $2k figure was all-in, rent plus other expenses, more or less.
whitepoplar··on Ask HN: What're some great cities to live for $2k USD per month?
Thanks! Tokyo is $2k+ per month, even living frugally?
whitepoplar··on Ask HN: What're some great cities to live for $2k USD per month?
I'd say "lavish frugal" (if that's even a thing)...a small studio/1br, cooking most meals but with the occasional+ night out, no car so looking for good public transit/walkability, etc. This would likely be something I'd do for a year or two...nothing permanent.
whitepoplar··on ClickHouse, Inc.
Definitely! Do you have any further info about what Postgres stuff Yandex is working on?
whitepoplar··on ClickHouse, Inc.
Haven't used any of these yet, but how does ClickHouse compare to Postgres extensions like TimescaleDB and Citus (which recently launched a columnar feature)? I remember reading in the ClickHouse docs some time ago that it does not have DELETE functionality. Does this pose any problems with GDPR and data deletion requests?

whitepoplar··on I'm a Coffee Roaster: Here's What You're Doing Wrong That's Ruining Your Coffee
Maybe it does, but personally, I get the most enjoyment out of coffee (or anything else) if I don't try to over-optimize. Good coffee in a french press with good enough water? Delicious!

Hey Chris! Is there a LiveView future where one can forego javascript frameworks altogether in creating higher-fidelity UIs?
