I'm interested in exploring Kotlin for backend development. But, most Kotlin projects, articles and anecdotes center around mobile apps. I imagine companies hiring Kotlin developers would mostly get applications from people with mobile dev experience

Wonder if there is anything like this for ClickHouse.

edit: to query pg from clickhouse not clickhouse from duckdb

don't worry Perl will let you be 100 times more creative

"Oven, the company behind Bun, has raised $7m in funding"

"Oven will provide incredibly fast serverless hosting & continuous integration for backend & frontend JavaScript apps"

Isn't trying to dethrone node.js (by making Bun better and more popular) something worth pursuing on its own, or there is no money in that?

At this point I'm open to try anything that will give me access to the python ecosystem without having to code in Python. From the FAQ it looks like Erg code gets transpiled to python bytecode.

multiple dimensions != multiple universes

Same here I find it crazy that Joe Rogan is better at interviewing scientists than Lex.

First thing I did was to ctrl+f "10x genomics", because apart from them not too many people are using Rust for scientific computing.

Quite the opposite. The running time of sklearn's or xgb's training procedure is not the main obstacle to retraining daily (not even close). In some of industries retraining has to go through rigorous manual QA. And you need a solid ML pipeline to begin with.

When I did something similar the hard part was implementing continuations efficiently, a feature that a lot of these small lisp interpreters lack.

Raku uses MoarVM

Some people believe you can generalize Shor's algorithm to attack lattice-based cryptography.

Quantum Annealing is not a threat for cryptography. You can safely dismiss these sort of articles.

This sounds crazy and slightly off topic, but the banner that says "proven by science with University of Waterloo" gives me hesitation instead of trust. Most wearable/hardware startups from Waterloo end up being VC money grabs that fail to deliver.

of course they exist, we just don't have QCs with enough logical qubits yet.

off topic but I initially didn't notice your username but the second I read "I wrote my own template language in Dart" I knew who it was.

Same here, fish is amazing until is isn't. I really wish it was POSIX

Yeah their papers and github repos look cool alright. still pretty useless, read my other comment.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boson_sampling boson sampling was introduced for quantum supremacy experiments. it does not have any practical applications and it's supposed to be easy for QCs. Well the guys at Xanadu believe that for some bizarre reason it can be used to solve all sort of useful problems.

Xanadu's main thing is that they are really good at getting money from Canadian VCs and government. They often make insane claims like: https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.10644

I'd take anything coming from them with a grain of salt.

That "notable criticism" is terrible. His whole argument is that because this algorithm does not outperform sklearn's HistGradientBoostingClassifier the paper is useless and a waste of his "very precious time"

Video/Photo editing

there are clearly not many “proper applications of blockchain that could improve humanity” people have been trying very hard to find them.

I've seen a few opensource projects archive their custom allocators because they were not beating the system's one or jemalloc. So if you have the skill and time then yeah go for it, else stick with general purpose ones.

Not even close

Because it's not a huge game changer. What would you do differently if the GIL was gone? when people need speed in Python they write C/C++ extensions or use multiple processes/computers

CockroachDB is definitely not the first db that comes to mind when I thik OLTP.

FAANGs have been very liberal about that for many years now, I don't think that is a good example.
