For all the flak Meta gets, the developer oriented technologies released by them: Thrift, PyTorch are fun to use as compared to Protobuf, Tensorflow.
Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Developer technology (implied comparison for usability)
easy to work with, great size (esp compressed), random access, close-to-optimal parsing, extensible.
Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Binary serialization for performance and random access with 3D data
Depending on your needs, the right tool might be Parquet or Arrow or protobuf or Cap’n Proto.
Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Considered as a potential serialization tool among other options.
