Get Started with Rust: Enums

⋅

Get Started with Rust: Enums There are two ways to create custom data types in Rust: structs and enums. In contrast to structs, enums construct a type that has multiple variants and not multiple fields. While structs are a part of pretty much any programming language, enums are not so mainstream and are mostly seen in statically typed functional languages like Haskell or OCaml. But, as we’ll see, they are quite nice for domain modeling with types. This […]

Support Vector Machine Algorithm

⋅

The support vector machine (SVM) algorithm is a machine learning algorithm widely used because of its high performance, flexibility, and efficiency. In most cases, you can use it on terabytes of data, and it will still be much faster and cheaper than working with deep neural networks. The algorithm is used for a wide range of tasks such as text classification, handwriting and face recognition, and identification of genes, among others. In some cases, support vector machines enable […]

Haskell in Production: Caribou

⋅

In our Haskell in Production series, we interview developers and technical leaders from companies that use Haskell for real-world tasks. We cover benefits, downsides, common pitfalls, and tips for building useful Haskell products. Our today’s guest is Syed Jafri, a Senior Software Engineer at Caribou – a company that helps car owners get quotes on refinancing and insurance. He managed to successfully pitch and introduce Haskell at Caribou. They are currently using it for some of the services […]

Data Warehouses vs. Data Lakes vs. Data Lakehouses

⋅

The most popular solutions for storing data today are data warehouses, data lakes, and data lakehouses. This post gives a detailed overview of these storage options and their pros and cons for specific purposes. What is a data warehouse? A data warehouse (often abbreviated as DWH or DW) is a structured repository of data collected and filtered for specific tasks. It integrates relevant data from internal and external sources like ERP and CRM systems, websites, social media, and […]
