    I use PostgreSQL full text search and GIN indexing and often find it to be good enough and fast enough without the hassle to have to handle a second engine just for search.

    It can be useful for improving ingestion pipeline: put your pdf collection in a temp table and then extract with pure SQL the information you want.

    The largest fancy math object I know is probably the proof of the following theorem: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-51074-9_... The proof is 200Gb large. I am …

    Do you have any simd-optim in parsing all those large files ? I have read that you write some of your own parser for perf boost. (I am one of the author of https://github.com/V0lde…

    JavaScript vs. Python class fields handling

    I step upon a weirdness exploring oriented object programming in JS. In Python, I often use the following constructions: https://pastebin.com/pmnxg0Ji Translating in js we got: htt…

    Maybe you need a query engine and not a parser. Shameless promotion of my beta engine https://github.com/V0ldek/rsonpath

    If you have an infra that need to scale so much then Postgresql isn't the right tool indeed. The right tools for your use case probably doesn't even exists and you will have to bui…

    you can certainly encode queue in many ways. mkfifo just work. But integrating the queue in the DB isn't a bad idea if you want to have both the queue and the db in a shared state.…

    I would say that the biggest missing features is not being able to mix normal and delta tables. This would allow easier reporting within a very active db without too much bother.

    It is the same notion exactly actually. The code isn't magically solving NP vs P but it does simulate non deterministic run through a potentially exponential exploration.

    Comment #39213193

    I would argue that it is an already classical idea in the 70s. Non determinism is nothing new. The cool stuff here is the simplicity of the interface to it and its integration than…

    Yes, the cool thing here is just to use higher order to provides the user non-determinism seaminglessly within Python while in prolog this is a built in feature.
