Has anyone tried immudb in production? What are some of immudb's performance characteristics? It'd be nice to know how it performs under various conditions: query per sec, database / table sizes, SQL join performance etc.
Also, what are the system requirements for immudb? What kind of machine would I need to run a medium to large website (say, 1TB of data, 5-25K qps, e.g. Wikipedia)?
It mentioned in the documentation that it can use S3 as its storage? Are there performance implications if you do this?
I drove through North Lake Tahoe one time on a weekday around midnight, and Google Maps was showing all red as I was driving up the mountain... I was super confused as there were no cars around me and it was not snowing either. What I later realized was that all the trucks were parked alongside the freeway taking breaks... I never realized that you could basically trick Google Maps by using a bunch of cellphones. Very neat!
For low level APIs, I would say anything that could be configured on a per call basis should be parameterized: memory allocations, database & http connections etc.
What will happen if you have bug in your function? Take the fibonacci function for example, what if you have a bug and created an infinite loop? Will Prepack terminate?
"Then again, with Chrome taking up >4GB of RAM, they probably could have gotten half that performance just by closing their browser or using Safari." This is so true. I've recently stopped using Chrome and switched to Safari. Now my 5-year old MacBook Pro runs like butter.
I'd argue that sometimes you don't really know what good taste is or whether or not you would enjoy something until you've acquired a certain level of competency for it. Sports, programming and math are all like this. The more you work on them the more enjoyable they become, and you'd become a lot more "tasteful".
I made something similar except you can practice using any Gist you want. http://newtonapple.github.com/Gistype/#1 It still needs some work on the current cursor movement for longer Gists, but the basic functionality is there. No login required, just type. :) Note that if you have Vimium installed, you'll have to put the URL on your "excluded URLs" list.
Does anyone know how this actually works? From their website: "Unlike other conversion tracking solutions available to app developers, Tapstream doesn't rely on mobile ad networks, cookies or UDIDs. Instead, we fingerprint your web visitors with our tasty secret sauce to match them up with conversions that you define inside your app." This sounds a little fishy.
I ran into a similar problem with the Google Mobile AdSense animation on iOS Mobile Safari. Basically when you put an absolutely positioned element with higher z-index over the iframed ad, it'll trigger greyscale antialiasing. Here is a demo (see it in Mobile Safari): http://newtonapple.github.com/frontend_tidbits/mobile_safari...
I ain't gonna lie. I vomited a little when I first saw the new logo. The pixelated green is seizure inducing. Congrats TechCrunch, you've just topped the Gawker redesign. Keep up the good work.
