I'm a random dude on the Internet, but my partner completed her PhD at MIT. While there I knew and knew of a few PhD grads who worked at MIT in some non-tenure-track role (postdoc, staff researcher, etc). Typically for a couple years a

Maybe a more accurate take: Half-assed soft deletion definitely isn't worth it. If you're just going to throw in some deleted bool or deleted_at timestamp without thorough testing, you might as well just skip it. It's virtual

Maybe out of touch. I've used them all (Mint, ynab, pocketsmith, buxfer, some google-sheets-based app, probably tried a dozen others). All of the auto-sync features had obvious bugs. It works for a few months and then you end up with j

I guess it comes down to the tradeoffs you're willing to accept for privacy. I personally find it quite sketchy that Plaid takes your username and password to your literal money and then does some opaque screen-scraping just to grab yo

I've been using firefly over two years now. Data entry has not been been a problem: * Run the data-importer as a separate container. Takes maybe 20 minutes to configure correctly if you already know docker and docker-compose. * Downloa

Sadly he's not some kind of local hero. The area much prefers sports to academics. I studied CS there for undergrad and knew of him but rarely heard his name mentioned or celebrated.

...What? $10 x 1000 = $10k / month. $10k x 12 = $120k. That is a new grad software engineer salary in any US city. You'd pay more than that for a single dev with the devops and security experience to keep GHE running and patched f

Thanks for the feedback -- sorry I missed this a couple days ago! Had no clue it got posted to HN. FWIW, I've found GIN is a bit faster if you're just looking to filter. IIRC it was maybe 10-15% faster for the particular use-case

Yeah it's a shame the concat_ws function doesn't quite work here. I've had success using Slick, an ORM-ish Scala library, to abstract away this tedious concatenation in app code.

Looks neat, but wasn't this the promise of Presto? Presto didn't seem to really work out. From what I've seen it converged to a mostly analytical engine. It's still very useful, but I've never seen it used (successf

Does anyone know if there is a way to monitor sudden changes in planning behavior for a given query? For example, I'd like to monitor/alert on this kind of situation: I'm executing the same query for many weeks/months, s

I wonder how many of those are "!g" queries? I've tried very hard to adopt duckduckgo but it just doesn't cut it, especially for technical topics.

Hi HN! Elastiknn is an Elasticsearch plugin that lets users store numerical vectors within documents and run exact and approximate nearest neighbor queries on them. It supports dense and sparse vectors with five similarity functions (L1, L2

Yep, I'm aware. The Lucene implementation seems early and slow-moving. Seems they are trying to create new storage formats and use graph-based search methods. OpenDistro wrapped a C++ binary that also uses a graph-based method. It work

I'm working on an ANN plugin for Elasticsearch. All data is stored on disk, you automatically get horizontal/distributed scaling handled by ES, and you can combine ANN queries with Elasticsearch queries. http://elastikn

Some storage options are: - Store many vectors in a single HDF5 or LMDB file. - Store single vectors in many small binary files (e.g. using numpy save() function). To look up neighbors you might: - Compute neighbors exhaustively (e.g. using

That's not really a problem if the user is frequently ingesting and vectorizing new data. They need a place to store it and efficiently query it. They can cache the queries for an old vector, but still need to compute new queries every
