This was often a question asked in Java interviews as well. In Java heap fragmentation is usually considered a separate issue but I understand go has a non-moving garbage collector so you can lose memory due to pathological allocations that

Getting more than needed does not imply that something is needed at all. You can live your whole life without needing to eat a Lychee, but if you eat 1000 of those that is clearly more than needed. A person who never ate a lychee maybe cann

Yes, I understood what the parent suggested. I am pointing out that such a number may have strange properties like the fact that a number larger than it can have a smaller Kolmogorov complexity, then I am questioning whether there is a numb

I think such a number is going to have strange properties like, some number bigger than that unencodable number is encodable because of a special pattern that allows a special non-surjective recursive function to encode it. I am just wonder

I can recommend reading about postfix architecture if you want to learn a bit about what would nowadays be called a microservice architecture: https://www.postfix.org/OVERVIEW.html You might need to know a bit about how ema

Yeah, a leaky abstraction with abstraction inversion on top of it! So within the actual payload there was a method identifier so you had sub-resource routing on top of the URL routing just so you could have middleware handling things on the

Sure, not every runtime type error needs to panic your application, nor even panic a request handler, nor even result in a failed handling. That doesn't mean you didn't encounter an error though. Error doesn't mean fatal. The

You can exploit the exactness of (specific) floating point operations in test data by using sums of powers of 2. Polynomials with such coefficients produce exact results so long as the overall powers are within ~53 powers of 2 (don't q

Yeah, those fatbikes are just the latest iteration of the old little scooters (bromfiets) with the small win of being more quiet. I feel like the size of them and the seating arrangement should enable them to legislate fat bikes as scooters

It isn't an either or choice. The people interested in optimizing the performance are typically different people than those interested in implementing syntactic sugar. It is certainly true that growing the overall codebase risks introd

The secret as stated is the comlexity of a JIT. In practice, that dynamism just isn't used much in practice and in particular in optimization targets. The JIT analyses the code paths, sees that no writes to the target are possible so t
