kobaroko··on I don't read web articles anymore, but I read books
Books have just problem: time. Tim from the idea until it gets out from the print. A lot of things can happen in meantime that are not reflected in books.
kobaroko··on Ask HN: What to do with old computer books?
I've donated all of my old books to local library. I've also donated some of my old high school books to school. Those are editions published by school, and I had them in mint condition.
kobaroko··on Ask HN: Is anyone else getting spammed via GitHub recently?
Is there some setting in GitHub to prevent this messages from coming?
kobaroko··on The Cypher Query Language – Best Practices
I don't know, I like the to have difference between Cypher commands (all caps) and some other elements.
kobaroko··on The Legend of the QWERTY Keyboard (2013)
I've never used any other layout than QUERTY or QUERTZ (depending on the local settings). Until now I've always thought that the result was the mechanics behind typewriter, and now it seems that that wasn't the case. It's nice to learn new things. But it also makes me wonder how things come into becoming legends or "truth".
kobaroko··on The Gates of Argonath in VR at 50 FPS on Unreal Engine
This looks so great. When I see this I'm somewhat sad that I don0t have computer powerful enough to try to do something like this by myself.

> If you prefer a TL;DR, here it is: Memgraph is approximately 120 times faster than Neo4j, all while consuming one quarter of the memory and providing snapshot isolation instead of Neo4j’s default of read-committed.

I see that there is a link to repo and test methodology is quite extensive and well described. Did anyone try to reproduce this results on their own?

kobaroko··on Database Review 2021
What about graph databases? Where do they fit? Is there a report or comparison for them?
kobaroko··on Ask HN: Non-techie friendly way to store crypto outside of exchange
Can you even get the funds out of crypto to store them on your hardware wallet? My knowledge about crypto is equal to zero.
kobaroko··on Ask HN: What do you do for online privacy?
I'm not doing enough :( I'm not sure what I can do.

I have two browsers, Firefox and Chrome. On Firefox I run add blocker, on Chrome I don't run it. Why? My job requires sometimes to help marketing team and if you block adds you don't see the whole picture or our and competitors activity.

I don't encrypt files before upload. Why? I'm not sure how to do it and my biggest fear is what if my encryption key stops working. I got locked out my Windows because I run a system update and I didn't disable bit locker before that. So I had to go through recovery procedure.

I use Twitter and LinkedIn. I'm not very social on social media. I don't create content.

kobaroko··on Ask HN: Do you use data lineage in your projects?
I get it, but I still don't like it. Lineage sounds to me like you try to put your data in one line, like an aliment.
kobaroko··on Show HN: Cozo – new Graph DB with Datalog, embedded like SQLite
And what is the biggest size that you have tested?
kobaroko··on Ask HN: Do you use data lineage in your projects?
I find the term itself very strange and hard to understand (I'm not a English native speaker).

"Data lineage" what does it even mean? Wouldn't it be better to call it "data tractability" since that is what this is about. Am I right?

kobaroko··on Ask HN: Camera off during most of the meetings?
Daily - on. 1:1 - on Team - on Other teams - on All hands - off Socializing - on
kobaroko··on Ask HN: Why does everybody say “Mastodon” when they mean ActivityPub?
I've never heard about ActivityPub before your post. And Mastodont is complicated by it self. Is it one server, one service or multiple ones? Why handle isn't something simple. Where are my messages stored? So put on top of that protocol and it would be a total mess.
kobaroko··on Ask HN: How to Replace Google SSO?
Thank. Will try it out.
kobaroko··on Audio CD ripping – optical drive accuracy listing
I don't get it. CD is digital isn't zero always zero and one is always one? Are there no checksum or some other methods that ensure that the data is read in correct manner?
kobaroko··on Ask HN: Converting HTML to Markdown Using RSS
This looks promising. Thanks!
