I'd love to see a memory efficient and performant implementation of lock-free skip lists written in Haskell, and it'd better beat my C++ implementation! Laziness incurs amortized costs all over the place, and makes reasoning about

It's more akin to limiting the size of each shoe, rather than the number of shoes. The client might need memory for computational purposes. I routinely have more than 7 GB worth of inference output to be displayed. I can only display a

BLOBs in sqlite can be up to 2GB or less, depending on the compilation flags. If you store 2GB and the other application uses sqlite compiled with support for less than 2GB BLOB size, good luck on getting them to work... If you want to stor

I came to typescript after many years of C++. I found typescript to be a much better language than C++ overall, and I'm far much more productive with typescript. I'm glad that a lot of people can manage without the types, and I&#x

Postgres doesn't have type hints and it might create a false impression of robustness until it messes up table statistics and does FULL SCAN against a table with millions of rows ignoring all indicies. It happens super rarely though, s

Exactly, the lack of the deep learning frameworks to train decent models on the client side forces us to use pytorch on the server, leading to centralized data collection, privacy concerns, copyright and data ownership issues. Imagine the w
