One of the most annoying things as a solo/small-team researcher working with huge datasets is having to manage all that infra on your own.

Are there products that make it easier at least?

100 sats \ 0 replies \ @SimpleStacker 25 Aug

I don't think so(?) At least, not that I know of, but I'm only mid in terms of experience working with production grade technologies for big data

I have a 63 GB database of embeddings i'm working with, I don't want to pay cloud storage costs, so i'm just doing it all locally on my machine, and doing anything is pretty slow.

I do back it up to Dropbox, which I have a subscription for, but that's it.

@k00b what best practices would you recommend for making large requests to the API? Like say I wanted to retrieve every item from a specific month.

30 sats \ 2 replies \ @k00b 22 Aug

You should be able to use top and type all IIRC with custom date range, and you'll want to cursor back slowly (sleeping every so often) until cursor is null.

If top doesn't support all, you can do posts and comments independently with top.

Nah, it should be opaque. It's probably a bug where the offset isn't overridden.

This refactor is the largest refactor of my career by miles. In the past, anything this big was a literal rewrite from scratch.

It's currently in the exciting stage of being at functional parity with prod and most of what remains is leveraging/exposing its improvements.

Why are you doing this?

85 sats \ 1 reply \ @k00b 22 Aug

We want to add 100 new floors to a 50 floor building - it needs a better foundation.

I explained the details here: #1071869

Oh wow this is exciting stuff!!!

I dunno, tackling a refactor that large, this would probably be me:

Kudos to the SN team, it must have been quite an undertaking

It's more like this

I also have one more gigante annoyance left: migrating all the prod data to fit into the new design.

I hate when people say “If you look at this in real terms” meaning they used CPI to adjust the nominal inflation rate. Why they call it real never made any sense to me! They should just call it adjusted using CPI

Idea for Stacker News user interface.

I hate to click on a SN item and it turns out to be just a link with a zero character introduction.

If these were flagged in some way (like character count) for the post intro I could just skip those posts.

there's a territory for it now ~hyperlinks. Regardless I suspect stackers will continue posting hyperlinks everywhere anyway

Yeah hmm

good idea.

hmmm maybe just an icon like we have for polls and bounties.

61 sats \ 5 replies \ @supratic 22 Aug

sox made the icon already

~hyperlinks is for anything at least mildly interesting that you can find on the web!

I believe the issue is that many news links are posted on SN without any comments, ~hyperlinks can’t fix this

69 sats \ 0 replies \ @BlokchainB 22 Aug

ahh good point so I can just spam links for the hell of it

0 sats \ 2 replies \ @supratic 22 Aug

links' description should be mandatory to fix this issue

71 sats \ 1 reply \ @SimpleStacker 22 Aug

i don't think i'd support mandatory link description. Sometimes a pure link post can have value.

A simple label to advertise the fact that the post contains no text would be the way to go, imo.

10 sats \ 0 replies \ @supratic 22 Aug

so one knows before clicking, and if one knows there's no content can click directly the link.

Make sense.
