New data oriented file format just dropped.
FastLanes, "like Parquet, but with 40% better compression and 40× faster decoding". 👀
Seems it can exploit correlations between columns and have fully SIMD friendly encodings to help with vectorization.

I learned about github.com/davidrjonas/... a couple of days ago while trying to get a nice view of which crates changed in a huge project after a massive “cargo update” that broke stuff. Maybe there is a simpler way to achieve the same task but this crate is damn nice
GitHub - davidrjonas/cargo-lockdiff: See what crates have changed after you run `cargo update` by comparing Cargo.lock to the vcs HEAD or file of your choice.

Ian Lance Taylor deserves an award for the most patient person in Open Source.
He also has an amazing ability to translate the clarity of his thinking into the written word.
He has had such impact on the way people create software.
I really hope he continues to contribute to Go.
