I guess I'm curious how; I breathe on it wrong and it OoMs.

Does anyone use clickhouse in production? I was initially pretty impressed but when I really put it through its paces I could OoM it as soon as I actually started querying non-trivial amounts of data: https://github.com/Clic

I'm surprised the GPU is a win when the data is coming from GCS. The CPU still has to touch all the data, right? Or do you have some mechanism to keep warm data live in the GPUs?

Postgres stores and refers to your tables in lowercase (even though you can reference them case insensitively) so naming conventions that involve case don't really work.

I agree that it was good but not particularly great. A Deepness in the Sky, however, is fantastic -- similar in many aspects but just flat out better all around.

You can have well-defined interfaces without splitting it into many repos just like how you can have well-defined interfaces without splitting it into microservices. In fact, I've seen enough garbage to know that forcing the issue via

I'm working on software for use by home hospital practitioners (scheduling, routing, and so on). Ever since the pandemic home hospital (where the doctors come to you, at home, rather than you taking a hospital bed) has been on the rise

A friend of mine was playing the game Slay the Spire and was loving it -- he said something along the lines of, "It's very well designed, and there's so much content!" That always kind of skeeved me out. I think because

I love fastmail but the webapp does this one thing that drives me crazy: The first (and only the first) email I read triggers a reload of the entire page for some reason. It's pretty quick but very jarring...wish I knew what was goin

But it's all going through one redis box, isn't it? That feels like you're still limited by your one beefy machine.

I was skeptical but this is pretty slick -- its ability to recurse through connections really puts it in another class.

This is not about stopping "ideas I don't like," it's about stopping "This shit is made up, and it's intended to be damaging." I do not understand why so many people cannot or refuse to see the difference.

Well, what about other languages? Every language needs bindings or a re-implementation? (i.e., iceberg tables are written/queried in-process as opposed to via a network API?)

One thing I'm confused about is why does Iceberg need a spark deployment to function? Or am I wrong about that? I would rather avoid that ecosystem if I can.

That seems like an odd reason to not use a browser, especially considering how the company that makes the dominant browser is also a mess.

Yes, I've been in precisely that situation with precisely those vendors. We would get data in some weird proprietary format that was only readable in the vendor's awful desktop application. We ended up spending a couple months rev

Interesting use of GPT; it's cool that it works as well as it does but I'd be nervous about the various insidious ways it can fail. On another note, are there tools that will scan your AWS/GCP logs and emit configuration to l

I'm fairly certain it was Wing Commander 2 that had this message, not the original.

I'm pretty sure the thank-you-for-playing message is actually in Wing Commander 2

I must have had very different experiences from everyone as I can't imagine how grinding leetcode is a worthwhile activity. Do you want to do leetcode because you find it helpful or because the hive mind of the internet says you should

But you can distribute e.g. a zip file with both the run time and data in it, can't you? How is that any different from how any other game is distributed?

Why don't you want to distribute the love runtime + .love file to your users?

It is always striking to me how many of my coworkers truly do not care about solving a problem or getting things done. If they aren't exploring some new database, language, tool, or whatever then they just lose interest and try to forc

I'm not sure I can make the mental leap that CEOs are making decisions based on what's best for their landlords.

Your experience matches mine exactly. Onnx seems to be relatively unknown for some reason. I feel like I'm on crazy pills -- how is everyone else delivering ML models? Are they really shipping multi GB pytorch environments? Are they us

Looks pretty cool! What happens if a program attempts a use-after-free? If this is "memory safe" (aside from leaks) then I think it sits in a pretty interesting space!

My state requires about a half dozen vaccines (polio, HepB, MMR, ...) to attend any public school from K to college. For some reason there's some sort of collective amnesia about this and people are acting like this is the first time t

Cool! Looks pretty lightweight. Skimming the code, I see some uses of strtok that look unsafe...I think a URL consisting of entirely `?` will crash. Yep: Server listening at http://0.0.0.0:5000 Parse error: HPE_INVALID_URL U
