FDB seems to outperform, and out-scale most, if not all?

According to an old report, FDB can do around 75k transactions per core [0].

MySQL on same CPU (all cores) can do about 8k [1].

Just something I got used to do. My right palm is always conveniently hovering above the right Ctrl, Alt and L, Enter keys, making those combos easy and instant.

After hitting Ctrl+L, I usually do one of these: 1) "Enter" to discard current page; 2) "Alt+Enter" to open in new tab; 3) "Ctrl+Enter" to open in new tab but keep focus on current page (e.g. read later); and 4) "Esc" if I got an answer from the address bar (math, currency, history, already open page, etc).

Looks nice, I wish you best of luck! I personally haven't seen my "new tab" page in a very long time. What I'm doing instead: in current tab hit Cmd+L to focus on address bar, type query/address hit Option+Enter to open resulted page in a new tab. Skipping a bunch of clicks and the "new tab" page. Should be Ctrl+L Alt+Enter on Windows.

Why read only? What's stopping this engine from using (for example) FoundationDB as storage?

Congrats, looks like a lot of hard work!

Could I swap storage engine with own key value storage e.g. rocksdb or similar?

New comment by davgoldin in "'Lavender': The AI machine directing Israel's bombing in Gaza"

davgoldin — Thu, 04 Apr 2024 03:01:25 +0000

The article makes some hard to digest claims, for example:

> According to six Israeli intelligence officers

Not 1 reservist, or 2 retired officers, or 3 contractors, but 6 active serviceman - whose day to day job is to figure out how to hide secrets.

There are more statistically impossible statements.

I'm on light mode by default. If you look at the "The fullstack database" text you'll see things emanating from it outwards. Fast, and barely visible, hence the initial confusion. In any case, it's not a problem at all, just caused me doubt my vision for a moment :)

Just to be on the same page, I'm talking about top section of https://www.triplit.dev/

Congrats! Many moons ago the lack of undo/redo was the main blocker. Has this been added?

New comment by davgoldin in "Modern CSV version 2"

davgoldin — Wed, 16 Aug 2023 00:23:46 +0000

I share the frustration! I have to open lots of small and large CSV files daily, with multiple encodings. Usually I'm juggling between Excel, Numbers, and Sublime text editor - depending on which one would open that file faster.

Naturally, I installed Modern CSV seconds after seeing this post.

I'm on MacBook M2, using trackpad 1) the vertical scroll is slow and un-mac-like, unnatural; and 2) horizontal scroll basically doesn't work, it scrolls a column or a half on a full swipe, but it does improve somewhat when there's less content in the cells.

I admire your work, please keep on going, there's a huge need!

Perfect timing!

I thought Google Marketplace's page was much more useful than your home page. The screenshots and video helped quite a bit!

davgoldin — Tue, 23 May 2023 06:19:39 +0000

We've got MySQL 8 running on high-end-ish consumer hardware, with 150 tables ranging from thousands to billions of rows. Largest table is a bit over 5 billion rows and 520GiB. Parallel network backup takes about 3 hours.

davgoldin — Sat, 04 Mar 2023 15:49:02 +0000

I'm on a fairly recent Macbook Air 2020 (Intel i7). Hovering over the top menu, a full-page animation badly stutters to reveal a few text links. It seems I'm barely getting a few frames per second. Worse yet, the overlay gets stuck in an open position, blocking the content, until I refresh the page, and scroll down avoiding the menu. That's in Chrome. Safari is slightly smoother, but the animation still obviously stutters.

A trick to buy new hardware? \s
