This is pretty standard. I've had a really angry email from a bookmaker after betting on a line that was like 10% off. From the bookmakers POV if they had to honour these bets either a) spreads would be much or higher or b) spreads wou

i would think that on non-leap years you would 'age' on the 1st of March. but i can see where the confusion lies. for days before Feb 29th you get to the next year by adding 365 days on years except the leap year. so for 2000-2004

yeah. my guess is the compiler just outputs its intermediate format when it sees map assignment and can just do whatever it wants. for reference you can play around with this by doing: go build test.go go tool objdump ./test

Nah. I just decompiled m["foo"] = 5 and it is closer to what is in your comment than mine. so for this it does: push addr of string push $3 call runtime.mapassign_faststr mov $5, 0($ax) test.go:4

my guess is it allocates the value onto the stack and then inside mapinsert it knows to memcpy the value into the bucket because it knows the size of the value. like tmp = 9001 runtime.mapinsert(m, "key", &tmp)

the second part of that quote makes it much less worse. 'everything ready at their bedsides' implies resisting an armed attack as opposed to going out and hurting other people. previously i'd only seen the 'battle rifles

looking at go-gc it seems to be really successful. like for a lot of apps people are running people are more concerned over high pause times and reducing tail latencies than having the best throughput. like maybe crappy allocation speed and

'Get it wrong, and neither of you ever leave.' basically, you can either pass or attempt to give a correct answer. if you try to give a correct answer and fail you are stuck forever. you can YOLO a guess but you have a 50% chance

our company integrates with some other companies and we do this using simple TCP connections to a single host+port. most of the companies for some reason use IPSEC and it is always a massive frustration to get stuff working. if you have a f

i think the joyent-manatee HA [ https://github.com/joyent/manatee ] solution is the safest way of taking a system like PG that supports synchronous replication and giving it good availability properties while preserving

when you are playing an offensive position you get to choose how you want to play the game. if your advantage is bursty movements but you don't have as good endurance then it is much better to conserve your energy and not get in a duel

the other alternative is to just implement the go-aws-lambda protocol. it is basically a bunch of go RPC calls that AWS makes to a port that you listen on. if you do it correctly it should be safe to run because AWS can't change the pr

i'm surprised they need to be handcrafted. the zip that ships with OSX will let you create such 'bad' archives. tar will also let you create 'bad' archives. and interestingly enough tar on OSX will barf if you try t

EBS probably has really terrible tail latencies.

if you look at how the benchmarks run i suspect they would disadvantage java. java is known for having slow startup times and also an optimising JIT that takes a while to kick in. go is definitely going to be faster for some command line ap

You are correct. I re-read her response and it looks completely reasonable to me on second reading.

by benmmurphy 8y ago
while i think her response was clever isn't it basically lying. like if you knowingly phrase something in a way to give someone a different impression from what you actually will later claim to mean its just a really clever lie.

you get the same problem with gp2 EBS storage when you have less than the maximum baseline performance. if you have sustained peak IO then the disk will eventually have a big performance drop. i guess people are less likely to hit this wall

age/gender are probably simple but i'm guessing censor is probably derived from a transaction table. if they are letting users select arbitrary time ranges to filter the transactions then you can't store a precomputed censor

if you are running PG like a KV store (simple lookups/simple updates/inserts) where most of the dataset fits in memory then it quickly becomes CPU bound and changes in PG configuration/access patterns can have large effects.
