After years of research and continuous refinement, we’re thrilled to share that our paper on the MetaGraph framework — enabling Petabase-scale search across sequencing data — has been published today in Nature (nature.com/articles/s4158…).

How can you achieve 40x faster binary search? @curious_coding's #P99CONF talk will dive into everything that modern CPUs have to offer in order to gain 40x increased throughput over the Rust standard library implementation. Save your spot here > ow.ly/oT8X50XbeTo #ScyllaDB


I'm having a talk on "40x faster binary search" at #p99conf next Wednesday, Oct 22! Register now :) p99conf.io

It’s a bit easier to just explain how we got here. In the old days, memory and CPU ran at the same speed. The laws of physics make it incredibly hard to ramp up the MHz of the CPU while keeping physically separated memory chips in sync. The distance is just too far for the…

The question: "Why do CPUs have multiple cache levels?" often gets many CS students and professionals thinking and researching. This article from Fabian Giesen narrates a "cache story" in a relatable way, only to delve into the details - a must-read! fgiesen.wordpress.com/2016/08/07/why…

Asymptotically, O(n^(1/3)) isn't quite achievable in this universe for a variety of reasons, and you have to be pretty clever to even get O(n^(1/2)). If you fill space with memory cells that don't collapse into a black hole then memory access actually takes O(n) time!

I am calling for a moratorium on new tote bags. We all have more than enough tote bags already. Stop giving me tote bags at conferences. I do not want or need any more tote bags. See also: water bottles

It seems a common experience in the lives of people with high agency is that they, at some point, metaphorically, lean against a wall and discover that there is a hidden door.

I started using `rebase` instead of `merge` and now I understand why people were telling me to use rebase

I’m in an airport and the guy next to me has been watching videos with NO HEADPHONES. It’s so annoying. I finally took out my phone and started doing the same. But I made sure to slowly increase my volume over his. He looked over at me like he was super annoyed. And then turned…

In the beginning linkers were created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

The C/C++/ObjC separate compilation architecture is one of the most underappreciated PL innovations of all time

your job here at github is to replace the browser's native "find" feature with an implementation in react. you need to make sure that shift+enter doesn't go backwards, and the latency when you hit enter must be at least 1 second

Slack is becoming so ran thru. MS Teams is a non-starter. Discord is gamer slop. I just want channels, threads, and DMs. Like nothing else. Why does every product tend towards slop like this?
