The two versions of Parquet

news.ycombinator.com Jerónimo López 2025-10-26 15:34:32

A few days ago, the creators of DuckDB wrote the article: Query Engines: Gatekeepers of the Parquet File Format, which explained how the engines that process Parquet files as SQL tables are blocking the evolution of the format. This is because those engines are not fully supporting the latest specification, and without this support, the rest of the ecosystem has no incentive to adopt it. In my experience, this issue is not limited to Query Engines but extends to the tools within the ecosystem.

OpenAI says GPT-6 is coming and it'll be better than GPT-5 (obviously)

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-11-03 20:56:15

OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman told reporters that GPT-6 is already in the works, and it’ll not take as long as GPT-5. The GPT-6 announcement doesn't surprise me because OpenAI is slowly becoming a product-first company rather than research-focused. There's no denying that OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman overhyped GPT-5 and underdelivered. While GPT-5 isn't exactly bad and actually offers significant improvements over GPT-4 or o3 for coding, the rollout wasn't smooth and some people were expecting more than

A simple pixel physics simulator in Rust using Macroquad

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-11-20 06:21:39

Sbixel Sbixel is a very simple pixel physics simulator I made to learn Rust. It uses macroquad for drawing — and I was pleasantly surprised by how simple and awesome it is! Quick demo (click for youtube link): ⚠️ This project is very basilar and doesn't have much ambition to go anywhere — it's mainly a learning sandbox. How It Works The simulation uses a "sector" system to reduce unnecessary processing by only simulating active areas of pixels. All settings related to simulation and perfo

Mezzano, an operating system written in Common Lisp. Pre-built images Demo releases are available through GitHub. These releases are designed to be run in VirtualBox, though QEMU is also supported. 2GB of RAM, a virtio-net NIC and an Intel HDA audio controller are recommended. x86-64 images are published. AArch64 has been made to work on some hardware. But to set expectations: making Mezzano run on any given piece of hardware or emulator is still typically a project that requires the user to

Mathematical Illustrations: A Manual of Geometry and PostScript

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-12 12:14:54

This manual has been available on this site since about 1996, with improvements taking place frequently. The current version has been published as a book of about 350 pages by Cambridge University Press. By agreement with the Press, however, it will remain posted on this web site. Many improvements in the current version over previous ones are due to the (anonymous) referees of the Press, whom I wish to thank heartily. I also wish to thank Lauren Cowles, of the New York office of the Press, for
