Last year, I examined RUM indexes within this series on multi-key indexing, demonstrating that they cannot substitute MongoDB's compound indexes for sorted queries. A year later, Microsoft has fixed this in the DocumentDB extension for PostgreSQL with an Extended RUM index that preserves the ordering of the keys, allowing an ordered scan rather than a bitmap scan. Let's revisit our pagination query to see how it performs now. I start a container with the latest DocumentDB (version v0.112-0 from May 26, 2026): docker run -d --name documentdb-local -p 10260:10260 -p 9712:9712 ghcr.io/documentdb/documentdb/documentdb-local:latest --username franck --password franck --start-pg I can connect to PostgreSQL on port 9712, where many extensions are installed, including the extended RUM index: docker exec -it documentdb-local psql -p 9712 postgres psql ( 17.10 ( Debian 17.10-1.pgdg13+1 )) Type "help" for help. postgres = # \dx List of installed extensions Name | Version | Schema | Description ------------------------- +---------+------------+------------------------------------------------------------ documentdb | 0.112-0 | public | API surface for DocumentDB for PostgreSQL documentdb_core | 0.112-0 | public | Core API surface for DocumentDB on PostgreSQL documentdb_extended_rum | 0.112-0 | public | DocumentDB Extended RUM index access method pg_cron | 1.6 | pg_catalog | Job scheduler for PostgreSQL plpgsql | 1.0 | pg_catalog | PL/pgSQL procedural language postgis | 3.6.3 | public | PostGIS geometry and geography spatial types and functions tsm_system_rows | 1.0 | public | TABLESAMPLE method which accepts number of rows as a limit vector | 0.8.2 | public | vector data type and ivfflat and hnsw access methods ( 8 rows ) postgres = # I can also connect to the MongoDB-compatible API: docker exec -it documentdb-local mongosh -u franck -p franck 'mongodb://localhost:10260/?tls=true&tlsAllowInvalidCertificates=true' Current Mongosh Log ID: 6a0b3b537d2a1c3471d1a7ba Connecting to: mo

If you ask it to create a recipe, you can click plus and minus buttons to change the amount of portions. You can connect it to other apps like canva. It hallucinates WAY less, and it explains ilvery clearly. submitted by /u/OkComputer_13 [link] [留言]

I have been experimenting with LLMs to see how well they navigate highly cross-referenced texts like the Bible. Standard models often hallucinate verses or lose historical context. To try and fix this, I built a free app called Biblians (no ads, no paywalls). I built it specifically for people who have questions they might hesitate to ask in person, or who simply want a 1-click way to explain a verse. While testing it, I discovered a fascinating denominational bias that is still lingering and changes depending entirely on the language you use: In English: It is Protestant-leaning. It praises Luther, saying things like, "Martin Luther sought to return the Church to the truth of God's Word." In Spanish, French, or Portuguese: It is Catholic-leaning. It condemns Luther's actions, stating: "...trajo confusión..." (...brought confusion...). Has anyone else noticed how drastically the training data changes the core bias based on the language prompted? I would love for this community to test the app, look for other linguistic biases, or just try to break the AI's logic. You can experiment with it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.biblians.app Let me know what weird outputs you get! submitted by /u/Snorlax_lax [link] [留言]

The original babel-plugin-transform-flow-strip-types hasn't been updated in 9 years and breaks silently in Babel 7 and 8 environments. The fix I published a maintained fork that works as a drop-in replacement: npm install --save-dev babel-plugin-transform-flow-strip-types-maintained Then update your .babelrc: { "plugins": ["transform-flow-strip-types-maintained"] } That's it. No other changes needed. What's fixed Babel 7 and 8 peer dependency conflicts Missing syntax plugin declaration Deprecated visitor patterns allowDeclareFields support Automated migration If you want to update your entire project automatically: npx flow-strip-migrate . This updates your package.json and babel config in one command. More info: https://flowstrip.netlify.app npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/babel-plugin-transform-flow-strip-types-maintained

May 25, 2026. This is not just another date on my calendar. This marks the beginning of one of the biggest professional transitions of my life. After nearly a decade working in the world of IT infrastructure, technical support, networking, field engineering, and systems operations, I’ve made a decision that has been building in my mind for some time: I am transitioning into Data Analytics. And this is where I document that journey—publicly, honestly, and in real time. Not when I become an expert. Not when I feel “ready.” Not when everything looks polished. I’m starting now. Because real growth is rarely clean, predictable, or perfectly planned. Sometimes it starts with one uncomfortable decision: To leave what you already know… and step into what your future requires. Where My Journey Started Before data, before dashboards, before writing my first SQL query or building my first analytics project—my career started in the trenches of IT. For the past 10 years, I’ve built my career solving real technical problems across businesses, organizations, schools, offices, and field operations. My world has been cables, routers, networks, system failures, installations, troubleshooting, and making technology work where others saw complexity. Over the years, I’ve worked deeply in: Computer troubleshooting and hardware diagnostics Printer setup, configuration, and enterprise support Wi-Fi deployment and hotspot installations LAN design and structured network deployment Fiber optic installations and network termination Data cabling and structured cabling systems CCTV surveillance installation and maintenance Alarm systems and electronic security integration Intelligent security systems Electric fence installations and perimeter protection systems Router, switch, and access point configuration End-user support and enterprise technical troubleshooting Systems maintenance and operational support I’ve spent years on ladders, in server rooms, inside offices, on construction sites, insi

OK.. so I've had this reasonable PC sitting under my desk for ages.. NOT working because of some reason or other. But it was my baby as is housed in a lovely Soprano DX silver brushed case. SO, I swapped out the old HDD for a couple of SSDs (a couple of mirrored OS disks and a large 2TB storage disk) I swapped out the Nvidia 780ti graphics card for a couple of OG Nvidia 1080ti's. I pulled the whole thing to bits.. repasted the northbridge chip, southbridge chip and central CPU. Upgraded the fans to push pull the CPU heatsink. Wrapped ALL cables in mesh and it's so lovely now. Installed Windows 10 Pro. Installed the Nvidia App. Installed CrystalDiskInfo and all is sweet 😄 EXCEPT... I'd like to use this old bangin box for an HG AI server... now I have read that ALL LLMs need this thing called AVX (Advanced Vector Extensions) I didn't even know that was a THING! So even though I have 22Gb worth of GPU sitting there that I was going to point everything to, because I have a lame ass QX6700 CPU sitting on a kickass D975XBX2 (BadAxe2) main board I CAN NOT fulfill my wish for this OG box to be a headless source of awesomeness sitting in it's home under my desk supplying me with a home grown AI. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO?!?!?! Surely after all this time of parts getting munched by AI farms a plenty people have been using what's around to do what they will... Does anyone know of anything I can do apart from just look at it running at 25 degrees aircooled humming along so lovely... it NEEDS purpose!!! 😄 Cheers and thanks all NB submitted by /u/Independent-Sound196 [link] [留言]

I'll give the usual caveat: The horror novel Japanese Gothic is best experienced going in with as little information as possible. Content warnings for graphic gore, scenes of domestic violence, self-harm, and mental illness. If you're okay with that, then consider pausing here. While I will try to keep this relatively spoiler-free, there will be […]

10 year senior dev, vibe coded this in 4 weeks and counting. Something like this would have taken me a year+ before and ive always been a 10x dev. I built this along side my day job (gov contractor dev). Feel free to check it out! https://imgur.com/a/F6OINKR⁠ Game Title: Roguelite MMO Playable Link: https://roguelite-mmo.com/⁠ Platform: PC / Web Description: Roguelite MMO is a browser-based RPG/MMO project built around dungeon runs, exploration, gear progression, PvP, quests, loot, and character building. The game is still in beta and active development, with the latest update adding new side activities and progression options. Latest update: The new Casino is now live, giving players more ways to spend gold, take risks, and chase rewards between dungeon runs and exploration. Horse racing and horse taming have also been added. Players can race horses, bet on races, and work toward collecting better horses over time. Fishing is now available too, adding a more relaxed activity with its own rewards while exploring the world. The core loop is still being refined, but the current focus is making sure players understand what they earned, where important items come from, what to do next, and whether the early gameplay loop feels worth continuing after the first few minutes.

The Virtual OS Museum isn't a physical place, it's a collection of over 1,700 distinct installations of over 600 operating systems for over 250 platforms that you can download and run via emulation right on your computer. It's largely the work of one man, Andrew Warkentin, a developer and OS historian who has been slowly […]

The 2026 XPS 14 is the best premium laptop we've seen from Dell in a while, with incredible build quality in a thin machine and good performance thanks to Intel's Core Ultra Series 3 "Panther Lake" chips. A bonus: Dell killed its lame "Premium Plus" naming scheme. XPS is so back! I can't believe how […]
