New comment by meotimdihia in "MinIO repository is no longer maintained"

It looks like this article is biased. It only benchmarked RustFS.

In my experience, SeaweedFS has at least 3–5× better performance than MinIO. I used MinIO to host 100 TB of images to serve millions of users daily.

I confirm this, I used SeaweedFS to serve 1M users daily with 56 million images / ~100TB with 2 servers + HDD only, while Minio can't do this. Seaweedfs performance is much better than Minio's. The only problem is that SeaweedFS documentation is hard to understand.

I guess, you can query your data's history like how Wikipedia did. And you could revert it.

I am using Seaweedfs with 40+ TB data and ~100M files. Serve 100-200k+ users daily with servers that just have HDD.

I have 30T+ data and ~100M files to serve 100k+ users daily.

Two years ago, I tried Minio, but its performance (small files) was very bad in comparison with Seaweedfs. However, you should benchmark it again now, as it may have improved.

Also, our servers only use HDDs.

I think people who lack understanding about the internet may prioritize privacy because they don't truly comprehend it. Please correct it if I'm wrong.

It is not always bad to harvest data. As a developer, I understand that there are often valid reasons for doing so.

I'm not sure where everyone got the idea that tracking and harvesting data is always bad.

In addition, it is essentially impossible to have something harmful happen to you if you refrain from entering your bank password on websites.

In the past, I used adblock, but now I only allow it on 1% of websites. It's only necessary for 1% of websites.

The reason is that I now have a website and earn money through ad banners, so I understand how challenging it is to optimize ad banners. Meanwhile, we may have 60% of users using adblock in certain fields.

New comment by meotimdihia in "EdgeDB 3.0"

meotimdihia — Fri, 23 Jun 2023 04:53:26 +0000

I am using Prisma in the production. I want to ask:

- Can EdgeDB solve the problems like `soft-delete`? Prisma can't do this good, there are third-party packages, but I don't trust these packages because authors often drop support.

- How about hooks, for example, I want to trigger scripts after/before a record is added to the table.

meotimdihia — Tue, 20 Jun 2023 01:05:28 +0000

I think the main reason: the forum is expensive. They cost a big chunk of money to set up for a large community.

And they missed so many features like a mobile app and notifications. And a lot of things that Discord offered.

I think no one has the answer to your question. Everyone doesn't really know your team's personality and how many people agree/happy with his decision.

How about we vote on this?

I have 8 years of PHP experience. Let me explain to you. While you can build a static website with Apache Struts or PHP, you must add javascript if you want to build complex sites anyway, for example: Facebook, Twitter, Tiktok,... In the past, everyone used jQuery, but jQuery and ajax can't build complex sites. You will end up with too many Ajax + dynamic elements + bad practices and can't maintain them if you use jQuery.

Finally, you'll end up using React for easy to maintain. And you'll have to wait to load React + related packages => it is slow for initial render => and SSR solved the problem.

Also, you just need a single team to build a complex application while using React instead of backend + frontend as traditionally.

SSR solves the problem: "the content does not render before your browser download JS."

I'll say it depends on the company's business and objectives.

A CTO of a tech company needs to be super technical.

For example in Vercel, even CEO is a technical person.

I don't know how to explain it in English. But he didn't say his teachings were to last only 1000 years.

Buddha said it is super hard or impossible to achieve Nirvana or became Arahant after 1500-2000 years.

But if you never practice, you'll never achieve anything.

Even Buddha needs 4 Asaṃkhyeya to become a Buddha. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asa%E1%B9%83khyeya

New comment by meotimdihia in "Ask HN: What exactly is a mindfulness meditation?"

meotimdihia — Mon, 04 Jul 2022 03:50:39 +0000

Because meditation methods are all derived from Buddhism. If we don't understand basically then we don't know the real reasons and we don't have enough motivation for why we need to meditate.

And our mind has to be in a peaceful state to have the best in mediation.

For example about this: gamers always say they play worse when they are old. In reality, it is almost like their mind has many problems with worrying about family or money, not like when they are young.

And we can't have peace of mind if we are just meditating. We need to understand the Noble Eightfold Path. https://i.imgur.com/Sv9Sdoj.png.

Meditation is a necessary but not sufficient condition.
