i finished AGH in Krakow and i approve this message :D lol


I did a CS course at AGH too. I had well over 100 people on my first year (couldn't physically fit them into some lecture halls), after first semester this halved. Second year there were fewer than 40 of us even after transfers. I think it's the most fair way to run courses.


We Polish people have a hard language :(

It goes both ways; for example, how many Poles have well and truly mastered all of English's tenses?

Heck, personally I think getting the definite and indefinite articles right consistently is a hard enough struggle.


I've been friends with a couple from Poland for over a decade and I still can't say their names the "real" way.

Honestly, Polish pronunciation isn't that tricky, trilled Rs aside.

What're their names? Wikipedia has a great guide:

THIS. It makes me cry thinking about childhood and hours spent on this game. I adore it :D You sir deserve a gold medal in olympics.. "Winter" :D


nop nop nop nop


never cared who is behind a nick on the other side of the cable, if he is white,black,yellow,green or pink. But i like the banter and sometimes people are cursing at others not because of gender, race or any other factor but because of emotions. If PC will get over everything soon it will be not acceptable to say anything. Is this the internet we all fought for ? In internet it doesn't matter who you are.


in interwebs you can be even atari owner...Yes even them are welcome and it doesn't matter guy is atari owner. So why mix in chat about kernel patch code that he is an atari owner ? he can't change it, and it doesn't matter. But should he get less flame because he owns atari ? no.


Personally i love playing games and not only computer games like DoTa or Heroes of the Storm but some more involving titles like World of Warcraft. Besides this i play Magic The Gathering card game and loads of board games... never felt bad about it. But same time i'm not a guy who says working 12 hour a day is a stupid thing and striving to be perfect is just a road to insanity.


You felt paranoid and made an app which a random binary from internets we should download and run.

Feels like a trap.


This has like zero fault tolerancy and by zero i mean none. Don't even push flush to disk... it has a level of a in memory hash of persistence and is totally insecure in terms of multithreading. As a Toy to show off yeah could work but... in the very end of the day. You can minus me but this is crap.


I think the idea is cool, actually I once worked on something similar in Go, very small code base. And adding flushing, caching and thread-safety is no black art. The charming thing here is that, once severe Data errors happen, one can easily recover from them using a simple Editor.

Imagine how to fix low-level data corruption on your <Insert your DBMS name> Server.

Unfortunately, in this case, you can't necessarily. One of the issues here is that holding on to handles to multiple collections doesn't do what it seems to, and also doesn't fail. Try running this:

    var low = require('lowdb');

    var foo = low('foo');
    low('bar');

    low.on('add', function(collection) {
        console.log("this should be foo:", collection);
    });

    foo.insert({ name: 'foo' });


Actually, in my code I always start with low():

  low('foo').insert({ name: 'foo' })
  low('bar').insert({ name: 'bar' })
  low('foo').insert({ name: 'foo' })
So never really considered this way of writing or had this bug.

But I can see that it's a flaw and unexpected behavior. I'm adding this to the enhancements for the next version.

Thanks for spotting it :)


Just a little update. I've released LowDB 0.4.0 which is a complete rewrite of the project.

It fixes some initial flaws/bugs and includes some new features. Also, writing is now fault-tolerant and fully asynchronous.


How. Dare. You. (now please downvote me)


This might be posted already by someone but i think it is worth mentioning. 3d printing could reignite spark of invention in human beings :) mechanical solutions didn't get last 20 years as much props and tutorials as computer science related. And rest of the world could learn from us devs and share in an easy way their designs and solutions so it can all be improved.


It looks in my opinion like opening for BTC and "crypto coin" markets and also simple Paypal transfers. "Why learn about crypto currencies" if people can simply use Paypal to transfer money.

Anyway they will have to pay something for the transfer.

I personally see it as a positive thing because it opens market for new solutions.
