Quite literally a fender bender.

It doesn’t give any examples of open- vs closed-skills sports in the abstract…

I believe it. Denying delicious El Farolito burritos to New Jerseyans would be tantamount to a war crime.

He has the advantage of knowing what is there and they can create an arrangement to license or sell the IP to another entity… if it’s just gathering dust, why not?

How are people actually using vector databases? The closest explanation to a use case architecture I've seen recently was https://mattboegner.com/knowledge-retrieval-architecture-f…

Who is developing this product? Under what circumstances is it 30% faster than Parquet?

Cuy is guinea pig, not rat, but I hear you on the rodent flavor. Worth it once for the experience but I wouldn’t eat it a second time!

This is really neat. One piece of feedback is it begins and ends TeX expressions by saying “dollar” which is distracting. Probably best to strip the TeX syntax while retaining the …

There is no doubt.

Most people have good health care plans through their employer that pays for most of this stuff. I paid a few hundred dollars to the hospital when my child was born and we were the…

FF as in Firefox?

Not true. Carter gave a blanket pardon to all Vietnam draft dodgers, many of whom fled the country before being convicted.

Lovely article. Allosaurus is amazing and terrifying. Very cool factoids about the bunny hands, first time hearing they were incorrectly depicted.

Since I mentioned performance, one other area that makes flexibility nontrivial is how you decide to serialize different types of messages on the wire and on disk. If you don't nee…

Sure, here are a couple examples of things we've had to include in the log APIs: 1. Kudu uses a special "commit" record that goes into the log for crash consistency, related to sto…

From experience working in this area, I believe there's a significant tradeoff between performance, flexibility, and time to delivery when it comes to consensus and the things it's…

Interesting. Just last year we implemented improved re-replication ( https://github.com/apache/kudu/commit/79a255 ) which sounds very similar to what you did with LEARNER roles, an…

FWIW, we implemented dynamic consensus membership change in Kudu way back in 2015 ( https://github.com/apache/kudu/commit/535dae ) but presumably that was after the fork. We still …

I have been working full-time on Kudu since its early development. As others have mentioned, Arrow and Kudu are quite different. Despite the controversial-sounding title of Daniel …

I think it's because Qt has traditionally had a pretty weird dual- or tri-licensing model: https://www.qt.io/faq/#_Toc453700684 which resulted in less adoption by developers becaus…

Run your tests against clang (as well as gcc) and then ship with gcc. Last I heard, gcc still had the speed advantage for optimized code anyway.
