Relational (inner) joins are commonly used in databases. However, there are different definitions and implementations of joins. One way to understand a join is to think of it as “looking something up” or adding redundant data to existing data. For example, when normalizing tables, we create a separate table for related data and use a […]

Hello Libera.Chat users! In response to the issues with the Libera.ChatMatrix bridge, we have decided to request that EMS disable Portalled channels by July 31, 2023 (but not before July 25, 2023). If disabling Portalled Channels is not possible, we will ask EMS to disable the full Matrix bridge in the same timeframe. This change […]
The author discusses the use of graph convolutional neural networks (GNNs) and their appeal for analyzing graph data. They highlight that most deep learning libraries are not optimized for graph algorithms, which can be expressed as dense matrix multiplications, but are inefficient for sparse graphs. The author demonstrates how to use NumPy APIs to implement […]
C is a low-level systems programming language that offers minimal abstraction over memory and assembly. While it is highly portable and suitable for its intended purposes, it is not without flaws. Zig, a new systems programming language, aims to address some of these issues. Zig introduces comptime parameters and functions, allowing for execution during compile-time, […]
Understanding SVG Paths is an essential skill for front-end developers. The d attribute in SVG code represents the path data and is made up of a series of commands. Each command consists of a single-letter code followed by numbers that determine how the path should be drawn. Uppercase commands are absolute, relative to the origin […]
