Looks like somebody wants to keep this quiet. 65 points in 12 minutes is good enough to be #1.

Is this getting flagged off of HN?

My RocketChat server is running just fine ;P

Does anyone know if AMD PSP can be disabled?
internalfx··on I used to think gun control was the answer. My research told me otherwise
I really wish suppressors were easier to buy. They help protect hearing, and reduce noise pollution for people at or near the gun range.

LOL. Hacker news looks exactly the same.

Looks kinda like a NUC

Good luck getting the cards right now.

internalfx··on SQLite small blob storage: 35% Faster Than the Filesystem
I personally prefer the database...

But I think for it to work well you need a better strategy than just large BLOBs.

GridFS for MongoDB - https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/core/gridfs/

ReGrid for RethinkDB - https://github.com/internalfx/rethinkdb-regrid

I'm sure the same concept could apply to other databases.

internalfx··on As Computer Coding Classes Swell, So Does Cheating
Programming requires constant learning.

If you need someone to teach you, it will be hard to keep up.

If you can teach yourself, you don't need college.

I Never went to a university.

I have no degree.

I have the best career I can imagine.

internalfx··on The Best Thing That Can Happen to Electric Cars Is What Happened to 1990s PCs
The comments here seem pretty anti-build-your-own. I really hope people don't start legislating that you can't build your own car. I build personal electric vehicles now, and I have aspirations of building a car.

I hope legislators don't derail me.

internalfx··on America’s Cars Are Getting Faster and More Efficient
This doesn't take into account that manufacturers used to under-rate the horsepower on their cars. Legend has it for the purposes of insurance and the NHRA.

Have you tried RethinkDB?
internalfx··on Ask HN: What's your working day like?
Profession: Freelance computer programmer

[5:00-10:00] Wake up (no alarm).

[+:10] Grab coffee cup, walk to casita.

[+:5] Make coffee.

[+8-15 hours] Sit at desk.

[+:01] Leave casita.

I have a very solitary career.

internalfx··on Ask HN: How to answer properly “Why we should hire you” question?
Respond with a very matter-of-fact tone saying: "If the answer to that question isn't obvious, then I'm not sure why I would choose to work here."
internalfx··on Thinker – Easily clone and sync RethinkDB databases
> many larger enterprises might have issues with cloning production

Agreed, I work with a very small company. But it's still useful for moving even test data around. All you need is a source DB and a target.

> connection bandwidth

That gets more complicated...The rated bandwidth is 100mb, the most I've ever pulled from the DB over the VPN was ~25mb.

> amount of data which was actually saved from being transferred

That is mostly a function of how much data was changed since last sync. The hashes themselves are very small, even if you let RethinkDB generate all your id's. It only takes 13MB of bandwidth to download all the hashes for a table of ~210000 records.

internalfx··on Thinker – Easily clone and sync RethinkDB databases
Done.
internalfx··on ReGrid – Distributed realtime file storage with RethinkDB
It is already ported to the .NET driver.

https://github.com/bchavez/RethinkDb.Driver

Slava Akhmechet is aware of the project, and Daniel Mewes has helped me adapt GridFS to RethinkDB.

https://github.com/rethinkdb/rethinkdb/issues/1523

internalfx··on ReGrid – Distributed realtime file storage with RethinkDB
The basic idea is taken from GridFS. But we've reworked it from the ground up for RethinkDB.

The spec is also currently out of date. It needs to be updated to match the current state of development.

Mostly, just method names have changed.
