What if structured data didn't repeat its schema for every record?https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1x9srdm/what_if_structured_data_didnt_repeat_its_schema

Modern APIs ship large payloads. LLMs consume structured data token by token. Validation failures surface too late. Streaming is standard but most formats weren't designed for it. These are problems we kept running into, so we spent years working on a format built specifically for them. The core question we kept coming back to: why does every record in a dataset need to repeat the field names? The idea we landed on β€” separate the schema from the data entirely. Define structure once. Records contain only values. name, age, gender, joiningDt, address: {street, city, state?}, colors, isActive…

Pcodec is awesome! 15% smaller and 2x faster than ClickHouse's DoubleDeltahttps://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1x9rgpj/pcodec_is_awesome_15_smaller_and_2x_faster_than

Two weeks ago, I posted about how ClickHouse outcompressed Parquet on my IoT dataset. But just days ago, pcodec was merged into ClickHouse, and it significantly improves on compression ratio while also trading blows on decompression speed with the previous schema. It's a rather niche and sophisticated codec though, at least compared to the ones we had before in ClickHouse, so I thought I'd make a post where I try to explain the key conceptual ideas behind it.

The Developer Communication Handbookhttps://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1x9qswh/the_developer_communication_handbook

Hey, I wrote a short (~70 pages) free book about communication for developers. Hopefully, it's close enough to programming to be beneficial and considered on-topic. Over the years I noticed how little our crowd cares about communication, so I decided to write something that is approachable, directly actionable and with as little fluff as possible. Free, no ads, CC BY, not LLM-generated. Web, PDF, EPUB, and an audiobook. My previous book about fintech engineering was quite well received here, so I hope this won't be immediately bashed at least :D But definitely tell me what you think and where…

I’d become obsessed with appealing to my invisible audience. But since I ditched the app a year ago, my quieter moments have taken on brilliant new meaning I first downloaded Instagram when I was 17 and became hooked on it the way most people fall in love: slowly, and then all at once. For a long time, I never considered myself a social media addict. I self-righteously refused to download TikTok, declared Snapchat to be for β€œchildren”, and posted less regularly on Instagram than half of the people I followed.
