The most popular SQLite and PostgreSQL database drivers in Go are (roughly) 20-76% slower than alternative Go drivers on insert-heavy benchmarks of mine. So if you are bulk-inserting data with Go (and potentially also bulk-retrieving data with Go), you may want to consider the...

Interview with a Data Scientist: Erik Bernhardsson

from Home on Erik Bernhardsson [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
I was featured in Peadar Coyle's interview series interviewing various “data scientists” – which is kind of arguable since (a) all the other ppl in that series are much cooler than me (b) I'm not really a data scientist.

2023-10-09 prolific counterfeiting

from computers are bad [alt+shift+b] in technology

I'm working on a side project right now, one of several, which involves telematics devices (essentially GPS trackers with i/o) from a fairly reputable Chinese manufacturer. The device is endlessly configurable and so, like you see with a lot of radios, it has a UART for...

Objectivity is superstition

from Daniel De Laney [alt+shift+b] in technology

An objective, external world is a non-falsifiable assumption. The prevailing theory is that our subjective experiences correspond to an external reality. However, they may simply be subjective through and through. That which we claim to be evidence of external reality is actually...

What's up with music recommendations?

from Home on Erik Bernhardsson [alt+shift+b] in technology

over a year ago
I just answered a Quora question about what, if any, are the differences in the algorithms that are behind recommendations for music and movies. Of course, every media type is different. For instance, there's fundamental reasons why latent factor models works really well for...

Ever since I wrote reptyr, I’ve been frustrated by a number of issues in reptyr that I fundamentally didn’t know how to solve within the reptyr model. Most annoyingly, reptyr fundamentally only worked on single processes, and could not attach processes with children, making it...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
