__all__··on Every Millisecond Counts
Nice write up but I can't prevent myself to get all my alarms raised after seeing that partitioning strategy.

`client_customer_id % 36` it's wrong in so many ways...

__all__··on On removing files (2016)
I've carefully read this a few times but I'm not getting the point. What the author wants to show?
__all__··on Why Yaak is not open source
I was thinking exactly this while reading the article. Open source goes further than external contributions.

Interesting, didn't know. Will check that!
__all__··on From One RSS Feed Entry to 186850 Hits
How the author knows its website has hundreds of subscribers? AFAIK is not possible to identify subscribers to RSS feeds and counting hits won't help. Am I missing something here?
__all__··on Ask HN: When to Read Non-Fiction?
So far I have tried with:

- Technical (software and maths) - Psychology and philosophy - Well-being and anthropology

__all__··on Ask HN: DIY Electronic Resources
Sounds interesting, mind sharing?
__all__··on How Query Engines Work
Thanks!

Honestly, I can't envision a near future where SQL is not the main interface. Happy to see the future proving me wrong here though!

Despite I can buy the arguments about how having a better data structure to communicate between processes (in the same server) could help, it's a bit difficult to wrap my mind around how Arrow will help in distributed systems (compared to any other performant data structure). Do you have any resources to understand the value proposal in that area?

Same for vector processing, would be great to read a bit more about some optimizations that would help improving Postgres leaving out pure analytical use cases.

__all__··on How Query Engines Work
> Whatever eventually supplants Postgres is quite likely going to be based on Arrow - polyglot zero-copy vector processing is the future.

Can you elaborate this? I understand it's a very opinionated statement but still I don't see how "polyglot" and "vector processing" could be considered the future of OLTP and general purpose DBMS.

__all__··on Chdb: ClickHouse OLAP as a Library for Python, Go, Rust, Node.js
Is this a DuckDB clone done using ClickHouse project?
__all__··on Horizontally scaling Kafka consumers with rendezvous hashing
The idea is nice but requires trusting their users a lot. How do they prevent users from setting super high "linker_workers" to be consumed by every agent? This could open the door for malicious users to saturate the entire system...
__all__··on Ask HN: How to optimize your career for happiness?
You bring a topic I have been myself concerned about but never managed to articulate. I'm usually performing quite well at my job, and easily get "special" attention and recognition which is good. At jobs, I tend to start motivated just by the work itself but at some point, after a few victories, recognitions, salary increases, or promotions I discover myself being that guy seeking attention and recognition and start feeling demotivated if I'm not getting it.

Perhaps, that's the big thing to solve. Being attention/recognition dependants doesn't look like being a good professional.

__all__··on Ask HN: How to optimize your career for happiness?
How do you accomplish that? Does your manager just don't care about you? Do you work for yourself? Are you retired?

I've been trying TinyGem and the Discover section is always empty :(
