arunk-son Ask HN: What are some cool but obscure data structures you know about?

In the same spirit there is also Circllhist from Circonus. https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.06561

There was a good discussion on approaches to store histogram here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31379383

arunk-son Writing a Postgres Foreign Data Wrapper for Clickhouse in Go

Yes for sure. Definitely a benchmark would be a very solid approach to see the efficiency differences.

Hi, Author here!

Yes, your hypothesis is correct. We chose Go, mostly because almost all of us were quite familiar with it and there weren't many C experts :)

arunk-son Writing a Postgres Foreign Data Wrapper for Clickhouse in Go

Hi, Author here.

I have to admit, I haven't done any benchmarking against the existing FDWs for Clickhouse. But I actually wrote the Go FDW 2 years ago(around Dec 2018). ;)

There weren't any Clickhouse FDW available at that time and I probably would've tried them as well.

Now I just got around to write the blog post and convincing the team to release the code.

Though I have a suspicion that the percona FDW might win in the benchmarks as they won't have to pay the penalties when crossing the Go land to C land.[1]

I definitely think they are used in production though I haven't tried it myself.

But I can find ancedots of people using it production on the web[1].

arunk-son Syscall Auditing at Scale

True that, I've been writing [libaudit-go](https://github.com/mozilla/libaudit-go/) which aims to provide a replacement of the c version of auditd libraries and is in constant development. During this period I looked very closely in the auditd source code and I can say it looks like a bunch of things are patched together without much prior thought to make it work.

arunk-son We only hire the trendiest

A lot of people treat employment status and credentials as measures of the inherent worth of individuals. But a large component of these markers of success, not to mention success itself, is luck.

This is one of the most accurate lines I've seen on a technical blog.
