I received a notification before 68.11.0 landed today warning me that an upgrade was coming and things would change. But it was only for 68.11.0 (current stable channel release on Google play store) and not 79.

More is not better. Repair time gets slower as the ratio for transport speed to capacity gets lower and lower. This means that more file pieces can be lost during the longer repair window resulting in possible data loss. Keep in mind that w

I think TCO is a party trick. Recursion in FP is almost always about structure traversal. For this iterators are usually better: 1. You separate concerns of traversal and computation. 2. You can reuse a function that takes an iterator and u

If you want performance and you control both ends to the point that you don't want to validate the format, why are you using a lingua franca and not a specific solution? You could swap it out for bson or msgpack. A little ETL goes a lo

If you have so much control over the JSON and performance is a big deal, then there's a big chance you can get rid of the JSON in favor of a more performant format.

Time Series. But also prefix lookup. You can do some sweet tricks with trees where lookup on strings can use a prefix and then you get an iterator. You can then use this iterator to read the items until you find one where the prefix doesn&#

I use ordered structures all the time when I have them. Otherwise I'll approximate with vectors, filling it up and sorting when I'm done.

ordered containers exist in most standard libraries. e.g. C++ std::map. Java TreeMap. So it's not a question of having containers ordered. But C++ and Java use red black trees (though avl trees satisfy the requirements set by the C++ s

They're very good all around structures when you want to store anything. i.e. good for any container; just requires an orderable key (or one that can support `contains` and then use a GiST). If the key is orderable then you can iterate

Reminder: when anyone says B-Tree in the context of databases they mean B+Tree. And I'll never understand how efficient B+Tree implementations are not in the standard library of every language/runtime.
