A project we worked on with the University of Warsaw is a library that makes it easy to develop #Rustlang applications that consume data from a #ScyllaDB Change Data Capture Log. Gor Stepanyan shares how this collaboration led to a new Rust library that is faster than its #Golang counterpart (and uses less CPU). #NoSQL #database #streamingdata

The second article in our series, written by Paweł Strzałkowski, is now available on the blog! 📝 In this post, he explores the practical implementation of Vector Search - a technique for finding items based on semantic similarities rather than exact string matches. Paweł covers the theory behind Vector Search, discusses its application in image recognition, and shares a complete photo search application - all developed in Ruby. Enjoy reading! 💫 https://lnkd.in/dT3s6V98

We started a series of blog posts called “DuckDB tricks”. In these posts, we will present some useful shorthands, hacks, and design patterns for DuckDB. In the first part of the series, Gábor Szárnyas explains some techniques for handling floats, fine-tuning the CSV reader, and shuffling data sets. If you have a favorite DuckDB trick, let us know in the comments! https://lnkd.in/dwXd2b_s

New blog post by Tomaz Bratanic! Text embeddings aren’t as effective when sorting information based on specific criteria: we need metadata filtering or filtered vector search. Learn from his journey on optimizing vector retrieval with advanced graph-based metadata techniques using LangChain and #Neo4j. https://bit.ly/3K3BElm #Neo4j #RAG #Knowledgegraphs #VectorSearch

5 Fun Facts About Software Development History!  The First Compiler: Grace Hopper, a pioneering computer scientist, developed the first-ever compiler in 1952. This groundbreaking tool translated human-readable code into machine language, revolutionizing software development.  The First Line of Code: The first high-level programming language was Fortran, developed in the 1950s by IBM. It was designed to simplify coding for scientists and engineers, making it easier to write complex mathematical calculations. Fortran stands for "Formula Translation."  The Birth of Open Source: In 1991, Linus Torvalds released the Linux kernel, marking a major milestone in open-source software. Today, Linux powers everything from servers to smartphones!  Java's Original Name: Java, one of the most popular programming languages, was originally called "Oak." It was renamed after the developers saw an oak tree outside their office and realized the name was already taken.  The First Video Game: "Spacewar!", created in 1962 by MIT students, is often credited as the first computer video game. It was developed on a PDP-1, a computer the size of a small room!  Love learning about tech history?

In April, Microsoft posted the MS-DOS 4.0 code on GitHub. This version is the first MS-DOS release posted on GitHub, but this particular release was posted with some critical bugs, namely UTF-8 encoding and timestamps. According to words Michal Nekasek, a developer and blogger of OS/2 Museum, these features are critical and literally spoil the whole release. The issue with UTF-8 is particularly cumbersome, as it makes text in this coding undecipherable. There are errors in numerous files, however the main system files have been transported flawlessly, according to the OS/2 Museum publication. The release of the article was followed by an argument between Michal and Starfrost, the developer of MS-DOS 4. The issues are promised to be solved soon. #VPS #server #Microsoft #GitHub
