You don't understand, I'm already a user of PyArrow and it doesn't match that page at all. It handles Parquet and Feather, right? They don't appear on the home page. Clicking the "specifications" link instead s

I'm similarly confused. It seems to be a family of table encodings that sacrifice encoding simplicity for compactness. PyArrow implements parquet files for example, but also I think feather? PR for this project is a mess. Front page sh

The internals are completely different. Given the collection of software technologies we posses today, you can't assemble them around a database using a row-oriented encoding and come up with something that can outperform (in space, ti

Each slide is narrated with an option to like it or start a unique conversation or share that single slide to people who are interested in what you think is interesting. Each slide also gets its own analytics so he can see how well they ind

Arguably discovering surprise bills absolutely should be part of the free tier, how else can you mentally prepare for running something in production on AWS?

Nothing to add to the conversation, just wanted to say I absolutely adore this. Years ago I used to think it'd be nice if search engines simply exposed all their shards to clients and let clients do all the results merging and suchlike

Both the index and table data are btrees. These are trees - the root node sits in some known location (offset) in the file, referenced by the file header and metadata. As SQLite traverses the tree, it encounters new descendents it would lik

The same idea crossed my mind. Those embassies are chock full of magical equipment, US embassies sometimes have radio-transparent walls for unspecified reasons ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embassy_of_the_United_State

Would you mind giving passers-by a 101 on Chia? Had never heard of it before. Recognise Bram's name obviously, but why is this interesting and valuable rather than another shitcoin? Bram's name alone has no weight in this area fro

I already listed two, because you need - cheap framing - bidirectional comms - are already exposing an HTTP port - can make no assumptions about the client's networking than port 443 available, even if only via a HTTPS proxy - can make

As far as getting cheap framing and bidirectional communication over an HTTP port goes, there's nothing to stop you using websocket server->server. For example users, many crypto exchanges publish their feed this way

If you don't think the SEC are keeping busy you probably haven't been looking very hard. Ignoring enforcement which someone else mentioned, they are the only thing stopping exchanges charging every human on the planet $1000 each t

A few hot takes: - Library is under the GPL 3, vastly more restrictive than most existing GUI toolkits - WebAssembly rendering in Firefox most certainly not living up to the name. I think the slide animations on the print example are managi

Yup, it's the t :) It knocks me out of touchtype mode (or at least makes it awkward to keep going) I think just due to the sheer distance from both finger locations. A left-hand stroke from c -> t is awkward, using right hand for i

I've played with Arrow a bunch of times and have yet to figure out what it's intended for precisely. (Not joking)

It is a little frivolous, but "signaldctl" is the most horridly awkward naming for the command line tool. The letters "ctl" are in a terrible location on the keyboard for smooth typing, but ignoring that, it doesn't

Over a sufficient timeframe, any industrial process resulting from a method like this will eventually lead to new species in the wild. It won't happen in the same way nuclear meltdowns never happen

AWS will blow up your phone if they know you're interested in dealing. Various online forms smattered around the site will put you in this pipeline. Just ensure you have a competing quote for them to work against
