Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Chris Hemedinger. If your work environment is like ours here at SAS, you're seeing more of your data and applications move to the cloud. It's not yet a complete replacement for having local files on your desktop machine, but with cloud storage and apps -- like Microsoft OneDrive -- I can now access my work documents from any browser and any device, including my smartphone. I can update now my spreadsheets while waiting in the dentist office. Oh joy. For those of us who use SAS to read and create Microsoft Excel documents, cloud-based files can ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Thinking inside the box. A smashing new RcppSimdJson release 0.1.0 containing several small updates to upstream simdjson (now at 0.4.6) in part triggered by very excisting work by Brendan who added actual parser from file and string—and together with Daniel upstream worked really hard to make Windows builds as well as complete upstream tests on our beloved (ahem) MinGW platform possible. So this version will, once the builders have caught up, give everybody on Windows a binary—with a JSON parser running circles around the (arguably more feature-rich and possibly easier-to-use) alternatives. Dave just tweeted a benchmark snippet ... Read More

Feed: What's New. Author: Eillie Anzilotti. Source: Samuel Sinyangwe, Tableau Public News of the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Manuel Ellis, and too many more has reopened past wounds of policing and violence against the Black community in the United States. It is a reminder, yet again, of the injustices Black Americans face, often at the hands of police agencies tasked with protecting communities. Across Tableau and the Tableau Community, there is a search for data that can help inform understanding of and solutions to racism and race-based violence. Data is not an answer in and of itself, but ... Read More

Feed: Planet PostgreSQL. A comparative approach between Generated Columns and Triggers In this post, we are going to describe how Generated Colums work and how much it improves query execution times, compared to trigger-based solutions. For the test set, we analyzed the performance of INSERT and UPDATE operations using Generated Columns against C and PL/pgSQL based function triggers. This blog post includes a ready-to-go laboratory with the full battery of tests at this repository. We encourage you to follow the instructions from Annex I to test them on your own machine! Generate Columns feature introduction PostgreSQL 12 includes a new ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Kyle Davis. I am personally guilty of describing streams in the wrong way—I’ve defined it as a “series of hashmap-like elements, ordered by time, under a single key.” This is incorrect. The last bit regarding time and key are OK, but the first bit is all wrong.  Let’s take a look at why streams are misunderstood and how they actually behave. We’ll evaluate the good and the bad of this misunderstanding and how it could affect your software. Finally, we’ll examine a few non-obvious patterns that take advantage of the little-known properties of Redis Streams.  Background ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Thinking inside the box. Right on the heels of the news of 2000 CRAN packages using Rcpp (and also hitting 12.5 of CRAN package, or one in eight), we are happy to announce release 1.0.5 of Rcpp. Since the ten-year anniversary and the 1.0.0 release release in November 2018, we have been sticking to a four-month release cycle. The last release has, however, left us with a particularly bad taste due to some rather peculiar interactions with a very small (but ever so vocal) portion of the user base. So going forward, we will change two things ... Read More
