@anandology @pigol1 @rootconf so it is more involved than that.. 4 pieces of info:

Pypolars (a fast dataframe library written in Rust) Beating Pandas in Performance

@anandology @pigol1 @rootconf yes, even if the roll number is not unique, the combination of two or more keys will be. the "search page" can redirect the user to a URL containing the pregenerated page for that combination key. say ck = f(rollno, admitno) calculated in JS. Redirect 2

@Chris_arnade here is the link to the paper:

Top episode:

"Rachel Laudan talks about the importance of grain, the spread of various styles of cooking, why French cooking has elite status, and the reach of McDonald's. The conversation concludes with a discussion of the appeal of local food."

Fantastic @EconTalker this week. Reminds me of one of my old favs (see next tweet):

"Postrel, author of The Fabric of Civilization, tells the fascinating story behind the clothes we wear and everything that has gone into producing them through history."

Dolly Parton being involved in the COVID vaccine is one of those charming 2020 twists. Though if you know about Parton's philanthropic efforts (which are vast), it's perhaps not so surprising.

Plus, it somehow also involves @JadAbumrad of @Radiolab.

guess who is now signing off posts with "iti" (Sanskrit for 'in this manner/thus')

Reviving a practice I learnt from my fother from (paper) letter writing days.

@svat Such exercises can reveal not only whether something "is a thing" in another language, but also how something relates to other things differently in another language. How "close" or far-fetched the same analogy feels in both, can be quite telling. 1/

@darpyu @spakhm Great talk by Milton Friedman about this

The drunk Indian uncles at the functions were right... Indians DID come up with everything before the Euros

One of the most impressive benchmark figures is memory copy - Graviton 2 got about 30 GB/sec - twice AMD, three times Intel and the M1 doubles that at 60 GB/sec if Apple can scale as well - an 8 core system at 300-400GB/sec.

I've collected a bunch of talks that were inspiring and/or educational to me these past few years. What talks inspired you?

@btbytes Same energy

@a_srinidhi @hamsanandi @singhsahana ಅವರೇ ಅನುವಾದ ಮಾಡಿರುವ ಇಂಗ್ಲೀಶ್ ಆವ್ರುತ್ತಿ -

Amazon has entered the retail pharmacy business and will compete with the likes of CVS and Walgreens. This is a bigger deal than might first appear, and has the potential to address high out-of-pocket spend on drugs by consumers.

Scylla Student Projects, Part III: Kafka Client for Seastar and Scylla // written is #Seastar

@normonics In the last GE, India counted more than 660M on home grown (& mnfd) electronic voting machines with paper trail. Same week as US elections, Bihar (very poor state with history of mass electoral violence) with ~100M citizens also voted with no incidents

@hamsanandi @singhsahana I saw recently another related book written by well known historian Jyotsna Kamat .

@JamesMarsh79 @mightykaos41 😎

Earlier today someone "Show HN:"ed a URL shortener using a smorgasbord of tech stack. I implemented one in <30 lines of code (plain JS, 1 line of nginx config, and JSON for data storage)

See this:

@rakyll @mattklein123 You may find it interesting to see how EC2 collects metrics and logs from all the EC2 servers. My recent builder’s library article was inspired by lessons learned from such systems.

If you have access to O'Reilly Safari (say through ACM subscription), you can read all these books online.

I made a playlist -

Running Back Catches 2 Footballs While Doing Backflip via @YouTube @mightykaos41 @btbytes

Surprising that they chose to benchmark their new IPS vs Snort 3, and not @Suricata_IDS . Easier to beat up on Snort?

Ningol Chakouba of Manipur: A Festival of Celebrating the Spirit of Sibling Love and Much More

RT @whitequark: this report is amazing, read it in full to really appreciate
in short: tesla instrument clusters fail a lot because they use a cheap NAND flash marketed for "smart phones, cameras, ..., electronic toys" and write syslog to it

Saw two mentions of using cgroups to isolate processes within the last hour. something to learn more about:

python malloc_trim

redpanda autotune

RT @vjgtweets: Do watch this Odd Compass video on the Portuguese Inquisition in India, a brutal, bloody period of history that isn't very well known. Well done @Tarun_Sri!

@grantmaxwell That thou art. (tat tvam asi)

@btbytes Per the Vivekacūdāmaṇi author
(; ), māyā can just as well be a response (or a non-response) to this too! 👇🏿
.

"Chili" is an Aztecan loanword in English: "1660s, from Nahuatl (Aztecan) chilli, native name for the peppers." "Chipotle" too: "ultimately a Nahuatl (Aztecan) word, said to be a compound of chilli 'chili pepper' + poctli 'smoke.'"

Possibly some historical context for Guido joining Microsoft (huge news, congrats to him! 🐍) from a Normcore I wrote a while back.

Cheery weekend read. The end is nigher

In macOS 11, Apple has made it easier than ever to start up Linux virtual matches. They’ve built a full API around it!

A year ago we barely knew this disease. Now cargo companies are gearing up to ship a potential vaccine made at home, likely even developed at home. Warts and all, the response of India to Covid has been phenomenal.

.@Dhume should know that only person who was ever denied a visa to the USA under International Religious Freedom Act 1998 was Mr Modi, the man who then received the most votes in any election in human history.

Democracy promotion or anti Hindu bigotry?

@sabdavidya The paeans of the Mahmud of Ghazni and the casual descriptions of Hindu slaves in this "Sufi classic" made it impossible for me to sustain the myth of benign Sufism or "universalist" Sufism again.
