There is, however, a thriving Clojure ecosystem that has been stealthily powering innovation from an unsuspecting part of the world: Ukraine. With over 633 tech companies and some unicor..

You can’t UPDATE what you can’t find: vs PostgreSQL

ClickHouse just leveled up. Its new SQL-standardUPDATEis fast—PostgreSQL-fast on single-row changes, and up to4,000×faster on bulk updates. That’s pure columnar speed plus parallelism in the driver’s seat. Yes, both use MVCC. But unlike Postgres, ClickHouse dodges transaction bloat by default. That.. read more

The decline of high-tech manufacturing in the United States

High-tech manufacturing used to employ 2.8% of U.S. workers back in 1990. Now it’s down to 1.3%. The sharpest losses hitcomputers, electronics, and aerospace—industries that once defined the future. Onlypharma and med devicesmanaged to buck the trend, adding 189,000 jobs while the rest bled over a .. read more

Faster Index I/O with NVMe SSDs

A search service (Marginalia Search) gutted its old index internals and dropped memory-mapped B-trees. In their place: adeterministic, block-aligned skip listtuned fordirect reads on NVMe SSDs. It runs on128KB block sizes, usescustom buffer pools, and leans hard onio_uringfor async position lookups.. read more

Building a web search engine from scratch in two months with 3 billion neural embeddings

An indie dev just went full mad scientist and built a full-stack, transformer-powered search engine—solo. They indexed 280 million pages from scratch with hundreds of crawlers, a fully sharded backend, and serious metal:64 RocksDB nodes,200 CPU cores, and82 TB of SSD. Under the hood: custom HTML pa.. read more

Node.js v22.18.0 (LTS) is out

Node.js just got spicier. You can now runTypeScript files out of the box—no transpile step, no weird configs. It’s experimental, and only supports a trimmed-down syntax, but still: big move. Elsewhere, it’s tacklingburst fs eventswith AsyncIterator support, tightening upCJS/ESM cycle resolution, an.. read more

LLM Evaluation: Practical Tips at Booking.com

A new LLM evaluation framework taps into an"LLM-as-judge"setup—think strong model playing human annotator. It gets prompted (or fine-tuned) to mimic human scores and rate outputs from other LLMs. It runs on a tightly labeledgolden dataset, handles both pointwise and head-to-head comparisons, and sh.. read more

BigQuery is a cloud-native, serverless analytics platform designed to store, query, and analyze massive volumes of structured and semi-structured data using standard SQL. It separates storage from compute, automatically scales resources, and eliminates the need for infrastructure management, indexing, or capacity planning.

BigQuery is optimized for analytical workloads such as business intelligence, log analysis, data science, and machine learning. It supports real-time data ingestion via streaming, batch loading from cloud storage, and federated queries across external data sources like Cloud Storage, Bigtable, and Google Drive.

Query execution is distributed and highly parallel, enabling interactive performance even on petabyte-scale datasets. The platform integrates deeply with the Google Cloud ecosystem, including Looker for BI, Vertex AI for ML workflows, Dataflow for streaming pipelines, and BigQuery ML, which allows users to train and run machine learning models directly using SQL.

Built-in security features include fine-grained IAM controls, column- and row-level security, encryption by default, and audit logging. BigQuery follows a consumption-based pricing model, charging for storage and queries (on-demand or reserved capacity).
