The article is also conflating synchronous single-threaded, synchronous multi-threaded and asynchronous programming. Each have their own usage, and no, a multi-threaded program is not the same as an asynchronous one. For example, using thre

We went to switzerland for vacation last summer, and we were quite impressed by the rail system there. Everything runs on time, there is no shortage of space, you can buy your tickets online and the trains are quiet and clean. I'm from

If you really want it, you could create a github repo with an alphabetically-sorted CSV list of baby names (one file per first letter). Describe the expected format, add a CI for validation and we (the people from the internet) will fill it

Your app is fucking amazing. Would it be possible to filter names by regions or language as well as decades ?

A website is an API (poorly designed). The only way to not make an API out of publicly available data, is to encrypt it. Then nobody can read it unless they have the right keys.

I'm a bit of a crypto enthusiast, but I generally agree that crypto-mining suck too much power out of the grid for it's current utility level. However, your comment is a bit short-sighted and doesn't account for the switch of

Yes, what they explained is entirely based on encrypted EBS volume. Nothing related with Kubernetes apart from the ˋencrypted: true` in the StorageClass.

Thanks for the clarification ! :) Not an advice, but you should probably consider spinning a secondary product from DuckDB with a sole focus on "reading data from parquet files and running aggregations the most efficiently possible&quo

Yes, it's not the same, but they serve the same purpose. It's, honestly, not important if Datafusion or DuckDB are using the arrow memory layout or not. What matters is their ability to run SQL queries (or Map-Reduce workloads) on

So DuckDB is a kind of DataFusion ( https://arrow.apache.org/datafusion/ ) ?

I think it's fixable, the main reactor is what matters. You can add or remove as many synchronisation primitive as you like. Other tooling, like Jepsen, will interact with your program at a higher level.

One difference between meeting people in MMORPGs and IRC vs meeting people while working remotely is that you rarely had to pressure someone to do something in the first context. At work, you need to do a lot of -sometimes unpleasant- thing

Same context, but I keep my camera on to help others do the same. I spent the last six months with an org that had a strong remote culture but held meeting on phone conference call. So I've worked with some of my teammates long enough

It's not written in the announcement, but I am under the impression that Rust 1.56 compiles a bit faster. Is that right ?

This approach also works extremely well if you want to stall or cancel a project in a big corporation for political reasons. Just embed one of your engineer in their team to gain knowledge, but fail to deliver on almost all items except a f

The number crunching part is already fast enough, however the aggregations, parsing and filtering that come beforehand is really really slow. This part is often done in pure python because it's often custom code tailored to the data y

Support is partial and uneven. Moreover, you don't generally use a single datascience library, it's often a mix of pandas, numpy, scikit-learn, custom algorithms, custom optimization suite, and arrow. Letting individual library re

Think about the datascience use case: you need to load data from disk or network as fast as possible and compute a lot of CPU-bound operations right after that. Threads will allow you to split your I/O in multiple procedures, so you mi
