I enjoyed the punny forestry imagery. Going beyond console.log in a sveltekit app was on my todolist so I’ll try this out.

To me it seems that even software engineers and bankers in US and UK, at least those who don’t have parental support, will struggle to ever attain the things that are achievable to moderately ambitious european kids from the lowest wealth a

To be fair, being overly reliant on wheels for locomotion does have some serious consequences. Even cutting out walking and jogging in favour of *human-powered* bikes or wheelchairs will lead to bone density loss and muscular dystrophy.

Really enjoyed this article, even though I’ve only ever explored the basics of Julia. I’m always on the lookout for articles and guides that would help people with basic R, Julia and Python REPL skills to learn software engineering patterns

It makes a lot of sense in fields where there are benefits to using code (instead of GUIs) to generate statistics and figures, as long as learning the basic syntax of the language to write this code can be done in a week or two. Learning

It could be difficult to draw the line. I assume TikTok’s suggestions are deterministic enough that an identical user would see the same things - it’s just incredibly unlikely to be identical at the level of granularity that TikTok is able

10 million isn’t web scale though. Quite a few cities, many states and a bunch of smaller EU countries would have most of their b2c businesses, local government services and heck, even local newspapers serve 10 million people. That’s not we

I’ve been super interested in zoomable interfaces for text - there was an interesting demo in a rust conference talk: https://youtu.be/rC4FCS-oMpg?si=h6xv3fgOXkBTXg3R (skip to 14:45 to see it in action)

Why not sqlite? put the json in a single column, maybe copy some parts of it or metadata to another two or three. Should be faster than the filesystem for reading multiple rows.

I’m interested in the sharding approach myself but those hundreds of ms sound a bit slow. Do you have to do anything special to guarantee each sqlite instance executes in parallel with the others on its own core? Does the language you’re ca

It has pretty much the same support for other languages as most text mining tools and Elasticsearch via the snowball stemmer: https://github.com/abiliojr/fts5-snowball Should work well for German, I’m using it with Nor

Unfortunately it still works very poorly for languages with compound words (German, Swedish, Finnish) where you would usually want to surface search results if someone uses the second or third part of the compound word, otherwise the user h

Reading this was very valuable. I really appreciate the Vespa mention and introduction to their Multi-Vector HNSW Indexing - I’ve recently thought a lot about how difficult chunking is and this seems like a promising avenue.

Samsung Jet flagship surprised me positively. As in, actually surprised me because it wasn’t the one I would have picked and every step of the way from unboxing to emptying it after use I was expecting to find some disappointing design choi

Fair, companies shouldn’t be anthropomorphised, but surely a money-seeking apparatus can form a justified expectation? I could rephrase it as ” For what share of companies might one have reasonable expectations…” Are “desperate” or espec

I find your experience rather relatable. I did figure out there is some sort of spaced repetition component to it, but that’s probably because I’m already an Anki user and aware of the concept. I quite like the eccentricity of it, although

So they need a control group of sedentary people who lie in bed all day or own one of those futuristic fully reclining workstations with displays and peripherals that tilt with you.
