Two weeks ago, I posted about how ClickHouse outcompressed Parquet on my IoT dataset. But just days ago, pcodec was merged into ClickHouse, and it significantly improves on compression ratio while also trading blows on decompression speed with the previous schema. It's a rather niche and sophisticated codec though, at least compared to the ones we had before in ClickHouse, so I thought I'd make a post where I try to explain the key conceptual ideas behind it.

Hey, I wrote a short (~70 pages) free book about communication for developers. Hopefully, it's close enough to programming to be beneficial and considered on-topic. Over the years I noticed how little our crowd cares about communication, so I decided to write something that is approachable, directly actionable and with as little fluff as possible. Free, no ads, CC BY, not LLM-generated. Web, PDF, EPUB, and an audiobook. My previous book about fintech engineering was quite well received here, so I hope this won't be immediately bashed at least :D But definitely tell me what you think and where…

I have this sense that we've passed the point where "vibe coding" is a derogatory term. I have no empirical evidence for this; it's more a feeling that those weaponising the term have now accepted the inevitability and are just getting with the program.

I’d become obsessed with appealing to my invisible audience. But since I ditched the app a year ago, my quieter moments have taken on brilliant new meaning I first downloaded Instagram when I was 17 and became hooked on it the way most people fall in love: slowly, and then all at once. For a long time, I never considered myself a social media addict. I self-righteously refused to download TikTok, declared Snapchat to be for “children”, and posted less regularly on Instagram than half of the people I followed. As I went through my university years, however, certain changes crept up on me…
