LOL, what?! A change.org on #1BRC certainly was not on my bingo card for this year ;)
@gunnarmorling.dev said he won't do another 1 Billion Row Competition for a while. Join me in signing the petition to get him to do another one this year. chng.it/zLYwMWxJQd

When every day is @gunnarmorling.dev 1BRC
SQL is honestly too simplistic and naively accessible for my taste. I want to implement the sorting algorithm and design the data structure with low-level memory management on each query...in Rust. Call it RustQL. Why let the database automatically optimize what I can do by hand? [1/3]

I'm late to the party, but the One Billion Row Challenge (github.com/gunnarmorlin...) feels like an excellent way to dig into optimizing Rust code and learning somethings about assembly, SIMD, performance profiling, and just CPUs in general in the process, so let's take it on live! [1/3]

Interesting usage of the lessons learned during the #1BRC contest !

Noice! Might trick @thomaswue.dev into running his #1BRC solution and see whether it's even faster?

Nice summary from last years 1BRC challenge by Gunnar Morling. It's so great to see the applied tricks to go from high level readable Java to low level performance Java.

I’m relistening to this episode with @snellarthur.bsky.social
And in light of last night with Zelenskyy and Trump, it is even more illuminating. If you’ve not listened to it, it’s worth a go

The one and only @gunnarmorling.dev closing the year with #1brc tweaking Java to squeeze everything out of 8 CPUs plus a lot of anecdotes along the road ⏩
Thanks Gunnar and #jughh

Americans do not, I fear, appreciate how alarmed Europeans are over the Trump Putin realignment of American priorities. I’d strongly suggest @snellarthur.bsky.social latest podcasts which capture - in no uncertain terms - how serious a mess we find ourselves in.

🚂 En-route to Ede for J-Fall, the biggest Java event in the Netherlands 🇳🇱. Would love to see you there tomorrow for my session on #1BRC and processing 13 GB of data in 1.5s. Hit me up and let's chat on Java, stream processing, and anything in between.
