It's just an odd claim to make when it feels very much like AI generated content + publish the text anonymously. It's obviously possible to write like this without AI, but I can't remember reading something like this that wasn't written by AI.
It doesn't take away from the fact that someone used a bunch of time and effort on this project.
To be clear, I did not dismiss the project or question its value - simply questioned this claim as my experience tells me otherwise and they make a big deal out of it being human written and "No AI" in multiple places.
java.util.Date and java.util.Calendar are the two packages I remember struggling with as a new programmer. Which I guess is solved with java.time after Java 8.
Performance benefits of the approach seem nice, with SPDK reducing kernel context switches, and direct NVMe to reduce latency in the storage path. This does require a more specialized setup, than Neon's tiered architecture (Safekeepers → Pageservers → cloud storage), at the expense of storage cost obviously.
- 17rc1 looks great - there are no big regressions and several big improvements
- There might be small regressions (~2%) from Postgres 15 and 16 to 17 but this benchmark was not setup to diagnose that.
I like tokenizers and parsers because they have a certain rhythm to them, and Zig's new labeled switch simplifies state transitions by allowing continue statements to target specific switch cases. Like computed-gotos in C.
