I am curious about this, whats the difference between the fastest json libraries (e.g simdjson) and protobuf?

by parhamn 2y ago
It's interesting, to everyone but but the mega shops like Google, protobuf is a schema declaration tool. To the megashops its a performance tool. For most of my projects, I use a web-framework I built on protobuf over the years but slo

I don't get your point. Sure, the git log isnt the "cathedral", but also being able to change things quickly doesn't imply or necessitate this.

Part 3 came out in 1990. So, anyone born after (less than 34 years old) who didn't bother to go back and watch it, would be sufficient? I'm familiar with the series' existence, but had no idea what 1.21 reference was. AMA, ha

Although, I agree with the general point, I am thankful for the bit of extra work they do when I travel abroad. The quality and availability of Netflix is far superior (many don't even work outside the US).

Those two paragraphs are at odds with one another, no? Moving air also increases the evaporation rate. This is why fans are found to be generally effective to 104 degrees. https://time.com/5644737/fans-can-make-you-hott

Across a broad enough dataset (char count / 4) is very close to the actual token count in english -- we verified across millions of queries. We had to switch to using an actual tokenizer for chinese and other unicode languages, as that

I'm sure people will call out performance is likely due to the different nature of the beast that is now redis -- there are lots of wire compatible implementations that are faster thant redis, with some lost affordances. Either way, th

Hauwei ships 12 million phones per quarter [1]. If even a small percent of them included these chips, it should be pretty damn obvious no? [1] https://huaweicentral.com/huaweis-global-smartphone-shipment...

Does such a thing exist that works for coding? Don't need the AR. My posture/back could use this for when I'm not working at my desk.

WebSQL should've just been Sqlite and the whole offline-first (and general app storage) ecosystem would've been so much nicer. Is there any hope of that happening? Instead of abstracting and over specifying sqlite, can the spec ju

Put a CO2 + temp/humidity sensor in there and it's a no-brainer. The sensors could be nice to hack on too.

This isn't true outside the theoretical best case. Definitely not true in most interpreted languages. Consider the performance difference of .reverse() (in-place or copy) vs using a descending for loop. Generally with interpreter chain

I think the killer case for this is not hiding the computational complexity of mapping/reversing/etc. I write a lot of typescript and golang and I often notice in typescript my chains end up iterating the same array N times when i

Sure, most things are representable in a table. Its very tricky to get these things to perform well. Every query needs to have the additional filters/aggregations and every index needs to be smart and partial. E.g. you need all your in

If you go by manufacturing jobs, BLS seems to have the data going back to 1939. Peaks at 18.4m jobs in 1969. Currently at about 12.9m. N.B. the current U.S. population is 1.6x the population of 1969. https://data.bls.gov/tim

Yeah I figured as much. Hence the "[t]his sort of tech" -- I imagine progress would be made soon on those fronts as well? Or am I mistaken?

I snuck in an edit about readability before I saw your reply. The quality of that one in particular is very meh, especially for most new sites and then you lose all of the dom structure in case you want to do more with the page. Though now
