Re:Bitmap Indexes in Go: Search Speed (2019)

I didn't realize Lucene used their own flavor of roaring bitmaps! Super Cool. I certainly think of search when it comes to Lucene, where as the cited material from Vikram & FeatureBase are targeting more general analytics.

I actually feel like they've gotten better in terms of story and character development with each iteration. Niko Bellic was one of my all time favorites, and I thought they did a good job balancing 3 characters in GTA V. They're all certainly... over the top, but given what you do in GTA, it makes sense.

Thanks for posting! We just adopted rebase for our docs repo, so this was a timely article for me. I do really like the clean commit history, but I also haven't experienced any of the downsides yet.

Interesting to see everything that went in here, but if anything it still highlights Qatar doesn’t make sense as a host

Ya spot on... Deceptively optimistic title when I feel that is still the real issue.
Re:Benefits of ‘looping’ kids with teachers for multiple years

So torn on this! Thinking back on my best teachers, they had a huge impact on my development and what I thought of school. On the flip side, some teachers made me count the hours every day until I could be done with their class. It won't happen, but it would be pretty interesting to see merit increases tied to this (retention of students, requests to join/leave group, etc.).

There is definitely a lot of pressure out there for commercial DBs to adopt dual (OS + commercial) models right now. I'm seeing that more and more. I don't like the BSL concept. That is just a big trap imo.

Ya the way he responds saying a full team would be needed to uncover this sounds like he was treating "where" holistically. Every bit of information in every server, application, etc. Feels like a trained response.
