Zig will be remembered as the language that inspired comp time programming in Mojo.

Mojo has dependent types. What are the programming language nerds not all over this?

The best abstractions tend to find new and unexpected uses.

This is the way

been wondering why software transactional memory never really took off on one hand, when contention is low, you can just use a big lock and everything works out when contention is high, well, stm will have performance cliffs that are hard to understand, predict, or prevent

Zero reward for the white supremacist killer who murdered a teen in Manhattan the same day. Yeremi Colino does not matter to these people.

A typical sass app should use foreign keys.

Hey, for anyone processing the Bluesky #firehose, here are a couple open-source libraries you might want to look at. They both give you a thing you can push "patterns" at and then feed JSON blobs and it tells you which patterns matched. Why is this interesting?

S3 gets *native* Iceberg support. 🤯 From the AWS blog: aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/ne... We knew something like this was coming (bsky.app/profile/bene...), but it's an even deeper integration than I expected.

We completed 100% of our commitments in the last quarter.

I recently read this interesting article, "These languages are accumulating", about how different PLs generalize partial sums ([1, 4, 9] → [1, 5, 14]). Python has `itertools.accumulate`, Haskell has `scanl`, APL has the "outstanding" `\`. Some thoughts on this: jcarroll.com.au/2024/11/28/t...

Fun variation on the theme. Will have to give a go tomorrow.

The paper describing why it’s so fast is a good read: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Best explanation of pivot tables ever - a shorter and fatter group by that gives you data you can graph.

Lots of good responses - get in there and help out.

✨ Curious which one companies use Rust? 🦀 Rust in Production: - list of companies use Rust - based on public information - not an exhaustive list github.com/ImplFerris/r... If you know anything missed(non-crypto), reply/pull request #rustlang

This is huge and a great credit to all the people contributing to the project.

What a cool idea.

A friend just DMed me that electrobun is on the front page of hackernews right now. What a great day. Feel free to upvote, and thanks whoever it was that submitted it ❤️ news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4219...

Async in Rust doesn't even meet the critical criteria for the coloring problem in Bob Nystrom's original post: 🧵

There's a "posts from your followers but not your mutuals" feed, which is very helpful for finding which followers you want to follow back. bsky.app/profile/jaz....

This seems worth tracking - especially the Postgres plugin. Also a testament to the power of SQL.

This is an interesting use case and introduced me to a bunch of new features.

Fun with DuckDB

So in Rust Box::new($expr) de-sugars to something like: let tmp = $expr; let p = alloc(Layout::new::<typeof!(tmp)>()); p.write(tmp); p I suppose it’s obvious it would need to be like this but also blows my mind and makes me realize I didn’t really understand what was happening.

So I have this theory that DataFusion, despite being a SQL engine, will actually enable a new breed of data systems to create non-SQL languages for working with data. Here's the idea...🧵

Hyperlight is a library to execute functions as fast as possible while isolating them within a VM. Developers can use it to add server-less customizations to their application that are able to securely run untrusted code. Hyperlight is able to create new VMs in one to two milliseconds.

Ok - just me or has anyone else mixed up Nile and Neon databases?

Update: they tried bun and realized it was much faster. So we ended up using it.

In a hackathon today I wanted to use bun but the kids wanted to stick with Node.

I set up a starter pack with #PyLadies on Bluesky - if you're also here and want to be included, let me know! I'm hoping to find more PyLadies over here ✨ bsky.app/starter-pack... @pyladies-bot.bsky.social

New post! Materialized View turned one last week. 🎂 To celebrate, I wrote about what’s good and bad about DuckDB.

Video of our #p99conf talk about cloud cost in the context of ML Feature Store: youtu.be/X7u3Q3tOG5U?... The cost topic is far broader than we managed to cover, tons of things have been left unspoken!

It’s so strange that (by bad analogy with natural language) people organize PLs genealogically. PLs are designed tools, their designs are influenced by prior designs, but they did not *evolve* from prior languages.

This still seems like a pretty good place to consult when looking for Rust crates? blessed.rs/crates

Oh heh - this is useful. Nobody has blocked me or put me on any lists yet ;-).

This looks very useful. Thanks!

This does look interesting. Compiler written in TypeScript for a subset of TypeScript emitting Arm assembly. Those all seem like very accessible choices.

Reminder that we can code and this client is Open Source 👀

Paired this with developers.google.com/machine-lear...

Interesting thread and promising that it’s developing here

This one is very good (for me anyway)

This feels a lot like the initial surge on threads. A lot discussion about the platform.

When I see static I think global variable because that’s how it was used in C and many languages that followed it. But that’s NOT what it means when used as ‘static lifetime in Rust. See also github.com/pretzelhamme...

allright I gave it a go: go.bsky.app/RtabAyB pls giff me feedback, I tried my best to go wide and varied but it's hard 🫠 (if you have self-noms pls dm them)

There is a lot of innovation happening in the Postgres eco system and it seems to compose? For example I suspect you could choose Hasura instead of Supabase if that’s your preference.

I've created a starter pack for all databases official accounts on Bluesky. Feel free to follow. If you notice any databases missing or accounts that aren't official, please leave me a message. go.bsky.app/Nd8hieE
