“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” —George Santayana Back to Top Data was considered a material object, tied to bits, with no semantics per se. Knowledge was traditionally conceived as the immaterial object, living only in people’s minds and language. The destinies of data and knowledge...

Here’s a bit of lingo that I learned working at Zed: shredding. Or: going on a shred.What it means is to rewrite code. To take something apart — to feed it into the shredder — and put it back together again, but in a different, better way. It’s refactoring, but switching the scalpel for a sledgehammer.When you say y...

A Golang iterator is a function that “yields” one result at a time, instead of computing a whole set of results and returning them all at once. When you write a for loop where the range expression is an iterator, the loop will be executed once for each value returned by the iterator. That sounds complicated, but it’...

One of the surprises that comes with developing applications and operating a database cluster behind them is the discrepancy between practice and theory, development environment and the production. A perfect example of such a mismatch is changing a column type. The conventional knowledge on how to change a column ty...

DRAMHiT is a new hash table designed to work at the speed of DRAM. Architecting for performance, we embrace the fact that modern machines are distributed systems—while the latency of communication between the cores is much lower than in a traditional network, it is still dominant for the hash table workload. We design DRAMHiT to apply a range of optimizations typical for a distributed...
