DuckDB now supports reading from and writing to the Vortex file format! The DuckDB Labs and Spiral teams have worked together to make Vortex available as a core extension in DuckDB. We gave it a test drive, and it performed very well. Read the full article to learn more

Do you use LLMs to generate regular expressions? We do, too! Do you *review* your regexes? Is that frustrating? How can we put humans in the loop better, doing relatively few, meaningful tasks? Please try out our new tool PICK:regex, available for VSCode!

So Amazon buying iRobot is a competition problem, according to Lina Khan. A Chinese company "Shenzhen PICEA" acquiring it, however, is apparently no issue at all. This reflects a deeply misguided approach to antitrust enforcement, under Lina Khan.

Never really enjoyed working with minio. Looks like nvidia has a higher performing alternative (also in go). Minio never supported erasure codes in open source or had good performance or kept objects accessible as files. Nvidia aistore seems to do all that better

Nice that one can use network-bypass techniques without crazy vendor frameworks or kernel mods. Even cooler that one can recreate iptables functionality like this for faster inter-host networking
