  2. "Cockroach, louse, bee..." The novitiate blinked at the form, "..ant? I have to #rank them?"

    The elder mystic nodded. "According to preference."

    "Preference of what?" Ugh. "I thought we didn't eat—"

    "Ahem. In case of accidents," he clarified. "So we know where to seek your reincarnated Being."

  4. "Surely," he said, and removed the top easily.
    He looked up and found her making an entry in a small notebook.
    "And with that," she said, making a quick tally, "Your #rank is number 1. That shitty Saintess is dead last."
    "Mother!" the Hero called, exasperated, from the dining room. (6/6) #wss366

    “From the fourth floor,” the shaman said, “you’ll need to climb to the top of the fortress. Find your way into the walls as soon as you can. The princess of Himeji Castle is known as the Lady of the Walls for a reason: she is to be found there, not in the open. She’ll try to drive you off with #rank odors of the grave, corpse orbs, and fearful specters. Ignore them all. Know your sutras and repeat them; then fear of death will have no hold on you.”

    Sumika shifted uncomfortably under me. I would need to teach her some basic mantras.

    “If a young woman in a jūnihitoe kimono approaches you, make your request, but if a crone accosts you, show her this.” The shaman withdrew a bow-shaped catalpa wood talisman from her robes. “Tell her, ‘As you have failed to protect what your mistress Seirei-tsukai holds dear, she commands you to help us.’”

    Mistress’s hand shook as she took the charm. “What if she refuses?”

    “She won’t, but if she does, you are undone. You have yet to reach your full power and still lack the skill to bind her. One last warning: Lady Osakabe is cunning. She will find your desires and use them. Deal with her honorably, but don’t agree to anything unless you understand exactly what it is.”

  8. Hi @grishka,
    it's all about ranking worse matches lower. Once upon a time in my developer life I found blog.mro.name/2011/08/rank-sql to work out reasonably well. #rank #sqlite #search

    P.S.: back then I used `and` as well which I wouldn't today. Rank the poor matches out of sight.

  13. RANK() vs DENSE_RANK(): ошибка, которая ломает топ-N в проде

    При работе с данными в SQL рано или поздно возникает задача ранжирования: топ-5 продуктов по продажам, рейтинг сотрудников по KPI, распределение клиентов по категориям. На первый взгляд RANK() и DENSE_RANK() делают почти одно и то же. На тестовых данных разница может быть вообще незаметна. Но в проде именно здесь часто начинаются ошибки: — топ-3 внезапно возвращает 5 строк; — дашборд "врёт"; — backend-логика начинает вести себя не так, как ожидалось; — запрос, который вчера работал быстро, сегодня уходит в disk spill. Две самые популярные функции для ранжирования — RANK() и DENSE_RANK() . Ниже разберём, чем они отличаются, где именно ошибаются разработчики и аналитики, и что важно понимать: не только что делает оконная функция, но и сколько она стоит на больших объёмах данных.

  16. A quotation from James Shirley

    The glories of our blood and state
       Are shadows, not substantial things;
    There is no armour against fate;
       Death lays his icy hand on kings:
             Scepter and crown
             Must tumble down,
    And, in the dust, be equal made
    With the poor crooked scythe and spade.

    James Shirley (1596–1666) English poet, playwright
    Contention of Ajax and Ulysses for Achilles’s Armour, sc. 3, st. 1 (1659)

  17. A quotation from John Adams

    Virtue and Simplicity of Manners, are indispensably necessary in a Republic, among all orders and Degrees of Men. But there is So much Rascallity, so much Venality and Corruption, so much Avarice and Ambition, such a Rage for Profit and Commerce among all Ranks and Degrees of Men even in America, that I sometimes doubt whether there is public Virtue enough to support a Republic.

    John Adams (1735-1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797-1801)
    Letter (1776-01-08) to Mercy Otis Warren

  18. RANK vs DENSE_RANK vs ROW_NUMBER?!

    Three ranking functions, THREE different behaviors! RANK skips numbers, DENSE_RANK doesn't, ROW_NUMBER always increments. This difference BREAKS logic!

  19. A quotation from Thoreau

    It is an interesting question how far men would retain their relative rank if they were divested of their clothes.

    Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer
    Walden; or, Life in the Woods, ch. 1 “Economy” (1854)

  21. 🧠 New paper by Clark et al. (2025) shows that the #dimensionality of #PopulationActivity in #RNN can be explained by just two #connectivity parameters: effective #CouplingStrength and effective #rank. Uses networks with rapidly decaying singular value spectra and structured overlaps between left and right singular vectors. Could be useful for interpreting large scale population recordings and connectome data I guess:

  22. A quotation from Moliere

    DON LOUIS: No, no, birth is nothing where virtue is not. […] Know that a man of noble birth who leads an evil life is a monster in nature; virtue is the prime title of nobility; I care much less for the name a man signs than for the deeds he does; and I should feel more esteem for the son of a porter who was a true man, than for the son of a king who lived as you do.
     
    [Non, non, la naissance n’est rien où la vertu n’est pas. […] Apprenez enfin qu’un gentilhomme qui vit mal est un monstre dans la nature ; que la vertu est le premier titre de noblesse ; que je regarde bien moins au nom qu’on signe, qu’aux actions qu’on fait, et que je ferais plus d’état du fils d’un crocheteur, qui serait honnête homme, que du fils d’un monarque qui vivrait comme vous.]

    Molière (1622-1673) French playwright, actor [stage name for Jean-Baptiste Poquelin]
    Don Juan [Dom Juan], Act 4, sc. 6 (1665) [tr. Page (1908)]
