How will Fivetran and dbt who are detested for being overpriced and underfeatured in the segment they are supposed to be good at (ETL/ELT) be taking on being a datalake? That's orders of magnitude more complex in engineering and o

Well said, the point of doubly linked lists is not that it is the be all and end all of all data structures. You can possibly workaround that. The real issue is a real program has much more complex data structures, how can you possibly make

Where are you seeing proprietary compilers freezing support after C++17. C++20 support is almost green across the board (even Cray) and C++23 is getting there. As usual there is a lag, for ex. when nvcc will declare C++23 support and whole

Did nobody ask why you would want to reuse contact lens fallen on some grimy ground in the night? Keys, coins, bills, even glasses ok, but putting back the contact lens into your eyes seems dangerous. I thought some kid might have spoken up

LOL, python is plenty fast if you make sure it calls C or Rust behind the scenes. Typical of 'professional' python people. Something too slow? just drop into C. It surely sounds weird to everyone who complains about Python being s

Who knows, maybe they cared about shipping a working product and not spend all their time fighting the borrow checker and harassing everyone else about memory safety. See Servo for ex.

Most likely explanation: In the Rust version, the compiler can see that expand_iota_views(&input).count() is a pure, loop-invariant expression since input never changes. It folds the whole computation and effectively turns the loop into

Not to be a Doomer but the last time I recall a revision around this magnitude was during the GFC[1]. Summary of the benchmark revisions The March 2009 benchmark level for total nonfarm employment is 131,175,000; this figure is 902,00

NVIDIA NVSHMEM is a parallel programming interface for NVIDIA GPUs based on OpenSHMEM. NVSHMEM can significantly reduce multi-process communication and coordination overheads by allowing programmers to perform one-sided communication from w

In Europe, HPC6 was the fastest before Jupiter. It was No.4 last year and 6th now that JUPITER is taken 4th place.

Confusing grammar aside, the most powerful computer before this was HPC6 in Italy which is definitely in Europe. https://www.top500.org/lists/top500/2025/06/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

That whole “sell shovels” thing never really made sense, even in the pre-GPU hyperscaler days. BTW, the shovel is GPU (owned by NVidia for now). AWS, Azure, GCP weren’t just renting servers. They built whole platforms - databases, ML stack

So the single place that we can buy this is showing no stock (already) and not clear if this will even ship given all the customs and tariffs stuff. I must say after waiting for months on the 'almost ready to ship' DGX Spark (with

So, current status on async Rust - you need to understand: Futures, Pin, Waker, async runtimes, Send/Sync bounds, async trait objects, etc. C++20, coroutines. Go, goroutines. Java21+, virtual threads

I didn't downvote but was utterly puzzled with your example. After your response below, it occurs to me that you are confusing Employee rank (a business concept) with Array rank a mathematical concept. Either that or it is very strange

Strange to read this article and find no mention of Julia (but APL, Mojo, MLIR BQN etc.. which are not exactly widely used languages). It checks many of the boxes User-Extensible Rank Polymorphism is just beautiful with the broadcast dot sy

Fearless concurrency with Rust unless you are worried about lifecycle management, threads/co-operation and general ergonomics. Even modern c++ might be better at this (gasp!) with std::jthread

Instead of saying what went wrong for Yahoo (default state and expectation), it is worthwhile noting everything that went right for Google and Meta. Alternate theories don't amount to any insight apart from hindsight is 20/20.

Since this appears to be the marquee feature (compared to the well regarded Clojure) it would be good to see some benchmarks comparing the JVM to LLVM versions. This allows jank to offer the same benefits of REPL-based development while be
