every other line of code is "if (err == null)" roughly how much Go would you say you've written...?

Once chess engines became decent (not even good—before even Deep Blue), they identified tons of inaccuracies in published chess literature. Within one year of their invention?

You should use go vet https://golang.org/cmd/vet/#hdr-Struct_tags (There seems to be a documentation error.) And try the race detector: https://golang.org/doc/articles/race_detector.html

Its discussion of stack vs heap is not entirely accurate: // memory allocated on heap: ptr := new(int) *ptr = 7 Depending on how ptr is used, escape analysis may place *ptr on the stack. Also note that the terms s

Consider jitter, rather than latency. If you're building a video calling service. You don't want random 10ms gaps between your frames. Also consider fan-out. GC pauses add to the long-tail of latency. If your service depends on ma

Making your users happy seems like a reasonable goal. Neither the article nor the Go announcement suggest this is the "future of GC".

by Jabbles 10y ago
The title of Go's GC announcement is "Go GC: Prioritizing low latency and simplicity", and I think that a variation of that would be a better title for this. Some users may prefer a different tradeoff, and I think it's i

Surely you would have to compare these with shows that were not cancelled? Firefly received a lot, but was it enough/more than others? Presumably something else should have been cancelled in its place?
