> removing human cognitive friction is resulting in needless software complexity This is kind of a hilarious statement just on the surface. Isn't removing burden from humans the whole purpose of software? How can you call the comple

This was the first thing I noticed. The first sentence is not a grammatical or sensical sentence as far as I can tell. Also who are they expecting to get with a hiring window open for 4 days? People susceptible to manufactured urgency I gue

client side of this kind of needs to be open source unless I'm running it on a dedicated machine and firewalling it from the rest of my network. Or the company needs to have a very strong reputation and certifications. curlbash and go

oh yeah, that's actually how I read it though now I realize it's nonsensical... like when someone says "I could care less" when they actually mean "couldn't"

I was a big WFH proponent, but I found the thing that I hated the most was the commute. Actually being in the office is pretty nice (assuming you work w/ nice people, have good culture, good coffee, nice desk setups, etc). I've ma

Yegge was an early employee at Amazon and has been writing influential blog posts and developing massive software projects since before this guy was born. But sure, in his retirement he's pivoted to pump and dump schemes.

Internet -> Obvious value, more efficient communication, knowledge sharing, transactions etc. AI -> Value is very obvious to me as a developer. Blockchain -> ? What is the actual value? Something about decentralized finance and not

What a joke this guy is. I can sit down and crank out a real, complex feature in a couple hours that would have previously taken days and ship it to the users of our AI platform who can then respond to RFQs in minutes where they would have

1Password can be your 2fa and autofill those fields. It has a built in scanner which will look at your screen and read the QR code on the screen (no separate device needed).

Well... sure. But OpenAI and MSFT have gone to a lot of trouble to build up the mystique around GPT-4 by being secretive about its architecture and publishing papers with tantalizing phrases like "sparks of AGI" and so on. I think

This was my thought when we first wrote this back in... 2018 or whatever. The papers referenced sort of derive this technique in that way that feels rather roundabout. For the actual implementation we took the more direct approach... though

Generally speaking, the nice thing about bitmap indexes is that you're able to access the data in a very granular way. If you have a WHERE clause that's calling out specific values, you only access the data which is pertinent to t

I wish there was a comparison to how dangerous the same commute is by car. I feel like you should also factor in the benefits of getting extra exercise twice a day for 20 years vs sitting still. Though maybe the alternative is walking, not

The full arrays do get expensive, although not too bad. I work at FeatureBase and we have a whole analytics DB built on a roaring variant... for perf reasons it's usually worth it to bias toward the bitmap representation when you get p

Great question! We have actually done some experiments with this in the past and will likely be rolling out features like this on top of Pilosa as part of Molecula https://www.molecula.com/is-your-data-ai-ready/

One does have to maintain some understanding of the how integer row and column ids are linked to what they actually represent. Sometimes this is a function which might map (for example) row 3 to the letter 'd', 4 to 'e',

Bit-sliced indexing is the clever magic here. This post goes very deep on it https://www.pilosa.com/blog/range-encoded-bitmaps/ But really, you use one bitmap for each binary bit of an integer, and it turns out yo
