"Stupid idea" is indeed not constructive. "Will never work because [XYZ]" is constructive IMHO, although not very polite. Being Israeli I prefer brutal truths over polite bullshit. And personally I try to be honest with

I agree that more honesty when you don't like ideas is needed. A few years back when I started a company (as the tech founder), we approached a high profile investor. He was positive at first and then cooled off after a few days. Then

I recently added the statement "type T interface{}" to a piece of code, as a private joke about the generics-in-go talk. now my code looks like "func map(x []T, f func(T) T)" and everybody's happy :)

+1, but I'm ont sure how that's going to work. Even if you support Py2 syntax, some of the internals are different and might cause code to misbehave, especially the str/unicode/utf stuff.

The irony is that what's keeping Python from moving forward is its own ecosystem. PyPi makes it so easy to just add small libraries as dependencies to your project. This is part of what I like about it, but it comes with a cost - this

Thanks :) Feel free to contribute if stuff's missing for you. We are already using this system for a lot of things, but there is a wish list of some relatively low hanging fruits.

When their map implementation has union and intersect, I'll shut the hell up. In the mean time people who need this need to implement these operations by themselves, or try to figure out which set implementation on github to use.

I tend to agree that simple generics would have made things a bit less annoying working with custom containers (BTW - I think the standard library should have a proper set type, it's silly that there are a zillion set implementations o

I'm using this model in a team of 12, it works fine, except for: 1. needing to have reliable testing environments for QA/product people to try features, as many feature branches are worked on at once; and 2. new people having tro

I'm hoping this will make one thing easy enough to be worth the effort: a proper UI for GDB debugging Go code.

It's a function of the number of keys more than heap size directly. I've benchmarked the STW at 20ms pauses for ~2G if the values are ~10k each, and 200ms if the keys are 1K each at the same amount of RAM.

[project author here] The idea here was to actually sort of extend redis. People often ask "can redis do X" and get the answer that their use case is not broad enough, or it can be done with Lua, or simply no. then they ask what a

Neither - it is an in-memory server that you run and connect to with the redis protocol.

I would love to use it on my already existing Ubuntu installation. I see that it's based on Precise, and I have Raring. Is there an apt repo I can put on top of my Ubuntu box to enable this?

I've done lots of C++, and memory management has become much easier since shared and scoped ptrs have entered the std lib. But still, going back to it now for a new project seems highly unlikely to me, it's like moving from a feat

I tried the recommended vim plugin. it was okay, nowhere near as powerful as intellij's plugin - and still didn't solve my gdb issue.

A few are just UX quirks - ctrl+b tries to build from the current package, not the project root, leaving you tabbing to main.go for each recompile, which is annoying; cursor "runs away" from the prompt not affecting anything. but

I know it's not a popular view, but being pretty much in love with Go, what I find most difficult about it is the lack of any real IDE. And by real IDE I basically mean: a rich editor, stable code completion, jump-to-declaration etc; a

I sorta like them for two reasons: 1. It's interesting to see what people struggle with or like about it, having written a lot of Go. That gives me some perspective, I guess. 2. The comments usually have these little gems of tips and

by dvirsky 13y ago
Cool, I didn't know that. will change my Set implementation :) BTW You should remember that if you really want a python-like set, map[interface{}]struct{} is not enough - you still have to implement intersection, union, diff yourself.

the benchmark still has to run somewhere :) and it takes up CPU as well. running both the server and benchmark on one CPU reduces performance dramatically. On a 2 core EC2 machine the results are much closer. However if you ran the benchmar

I wouldn't go as far as calling it scarcely usable, but EC2 does add some overhead to running redis. I've been using it on EC2 for over 2 years (some of the metrics in the doc you linked are on my machines BTW :) ), and you just h
