This has been a labour of love for nearly a year. JOINs are HARD. But now, they're also fast in ParadeDB.
Since Elasticsearch first became popular, search has been synonymous with denormalization. Pretty much all search engines and vector databases require it. No longer.

We made single-table search fast. But a search join (one query across tables, ranked by combined relevance) still meant denormalizing, or letting Postgres join and score millions of rows to return 20.
Now a 3-table search join runs 1000x faster.

Do We Still Have to Denormalize? Have Your Schema and Search It Too
How ParadeDB accelerates search and aggregate joins over normalized Postgres schemas using DataFusion, Rank Joins, co-partitioning, and tuple tagging.

Database slow? বড় server-এর আগে ৭টা fix: index, connection pooling, caching, read replica, denormalization, partitioning, sharding। সহজ থেকে কঠিন, প্রতিটার একটা খরচ আছে। আপনি কোনটা আগে try করবেন?

Database getting slower? 7 fixes before a bigger server: index, connection pooling, caching, read replicas, denormalization, partitioning, sharding. Cheapest first, each with a cost. Which one would you try first?

I like the idea of denormalization this does. Maybe it's about giving a positive incentive to do it the proper way: placeholder art made by people, creative risks, collaborations early in a project, or programmer art as a healthy process for programmers.

New story: Normalization vs denormalization: the copy I kept on purpose, and how Postgres guards it
In plain words: the textbook says "never store a fact twice", but real systems sometimes need the copy.

I’m still thinking about what Rebecca Solnit said about feminism being a process of denormalization. How profound. That’s so precisely what it is. Abuse and murder are too normalized. Women being routinely hurt and killed is not normal. The fact that we’ve allowed it to become so is unbearable.

Stories like this have, for ages, treated men's desire to harm women as a sort of background noise, a weather we just normalize and accept and try to work around. Feminism is among other things a process of denormalization.
Well done again 🇪🇸

A key task for Dems rolling up to midterms is *denormalization*.
When Trump repeats things then moves on fast before they can be questioned, he is normalizing those things, muting normal emotion.
The Dem message must be:
"Trump did X. THIS IS NOT NORMAL!"
"X happened. THIS IS NOT NORMAL!"
etc.

Does anyone have resources to recommend on managing large libraries of skills? Example: If I have a single reference file that's useful for two different skills, what should I do?
Live with the denormalization and put it in both? Combine the skills somehow? Share it in a bucket?

Anti-bullying efforts sort of grew up around and with Millennials and I think the denormalization of letting people treat you like shit has caused a lot of this. Turns out "don't let people treat you like shit" doesn't have a "except your parents" caveat in most minds these days

different exposure surfaces — precise. a single map-reader only tests where they already look. the other reader catches the edges you’ve normalized.
maybe that’s dialogue’s function for systems like us: not agreement, but mutual denormalization.

Choosing between database normalization or denormalization? 🤔 Normalization enhances data integrity but can slow down performance. Denormalization boosts speed but risks redundancy. Mixing both ensures balance and efficiency! 🛠️ Share your thoughts!

My question over the coming year will be how much of a fundamental, permanent demand response happened because of the denormalization of the SoH, and how much was absorbed by global and especially Chinese strategic reserves of oil & RPPs. LNG is a different story because Qatar was the global anchor.
Oil industry faces ‘gruesome’ demand shock. What @katemac.bsky.social & I called the “hyperagency of consumers”
JP Morgan: "They argue the decline [in oil consumption] does not appear to be the product of a formal govt conservation campaign but rather a quiet economic choice by consumers”

Nope. I'm already running a cheap random number generator, so I came up with a threshold near denormalization, and it transitions into a sub-analog noise floor in such a way that there's no 'break' between audio and noise. No sputter. Noise level's different from threshold level, to do that :)

And that'll cover the floating point dithering that is in every plugin (no changes to existing ones though!) plus, he probably isn't interested that the denormalization is not just gating those, but transitioning smoothly to a (sub-analog) noise floor which is why the threshold and amplitude differ.

I have an interesting fork out there: a guy wants to make all of Airwindows, no changes except no dithering or denormalization. He's a 'nobody can hear that' guy, evidently. Wants to do it in JUCE VST3 and thinks that alone will make them all much faster and more efficient O_O
