Das Problem mit German Strings

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-31 21:59:35

German strings are everywhere I look. The impression I’ve gotten from working in the Rust Arrow/Datafusion ecosystem and related file formats for the last couple of months is that StringViews (the implementation of German strings in Arrow) are becoming, if they have not already, the canonical form of representing string columns at execution time. This is generally a good idea. German strings are a fantastic innovation rooted in simplicity that greatly improves most string processing use-cases i

Reimagining sound and space

“It would be very difficult to teach biology or engineering in a studio designed for dance or music,” Jay Scheib, section head for Music and Theater Arts, told MIT News shortly before the building officially opened. “The same goes for teaching music in a mathematics or chemistry classroom. In the past, we’ve done it, but it did limit us.” He said the new space would allow MIT musicians to hear their music as it was intended to be heard and “provide an opportunity to convene people to inhabit the

Apple May Take AirPods Pro 3 Beyond Audio

Scientists unlock secret to thick, stable beer foams

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-02 09:00:59

For many beer lovers, a nice thick head of foam is one of life's pure pleasures, and the longer that foam lasts, the better the beer-drinking experience. A team of Swiss researchers spent seven years studying why some beer foams last longer than others and found that the degree of fermentation—i.e., whether a given beer has been singly, doubly, or triply fermented—is crucial, according to a new paper published in the journal Physics of Fluids. As previously reported, foams are ubiquitous in eve

Bambu Lab's Latest 3D Printer Boasts Its Largest Print Space Yet

Bambu Lab recently released the large-format H2D 3D printer. While I gave it a positive review, I did have some issues with the size. While the build area is technically a 350x320x325 millimeter space, you have to jump through several hoops to use it. That's because its dual-nozzle setup stops either nozzle from reaching the edges of the plate.

Lenovo IdeaPad 5i 2-in-1 Review: Barely Squeaking By

Budget laptops are finally improving. Extra RAM and more efficient processors are making cheap laptops significantly more pleasant to use and recommend. However, the Lenovo IdeaPad 5i 2-in-1 is somewhat of an old-school budget laptop. It uses a cheaper Intel chip, which compromises performance and battery life, and at first glance, it appears to be overpriced.

'Ten Martini' Proof Uses Number Theory to Explain Quantum Fractals

But in some ways, the proof was a bit unsatisfying. Jitomirskaya and Avila had used a method that only applied to certain irrational values of alpha. By combining it with an intermediate proof that came before it, they could say the problem was solved. But this combined proof wasn’t elegant. It was a patchwork quilt, each square stitched out of distinct arguments. Moreover, the proofs only settled the conjecture as it was originally stated, which involved making simplifying assumptions about th

Busy beaver hunters reach numbers that overwhelm ordinary math

But just how much harder? In 1962, the mathematician Tibor Radó invented a new way to explore this question through what he called the busy beaver game. To play, start by choosing a specific number of rules — call that number n. Your goal is to find the n-rule Turing machine that runs the longest before eventually halting. This machine is called the busy beaver, and the corresponding busy beaver number, BB(n), is the number of steps that it takes. In principle, if you want to find the busy beav
