This should be at the very top. Jack Bogle also has great books (including audiobooks) to learn from, albeit dense. `Common Sense on Mutual Funds` is an excellent treatise to the mantra of `time in the market is always superior to timing th

The key takeway is there is a performance cost to converting between []byte and string and minimizing the number of conversions would be a reasonably low-hanging fruit in looking for performance optimizations.

Which is unfortunate because cannabis edibles are the most accessible way to consume it in privacy and without the odor or smokey exhaust. There is research on THC-infused drinks that match the alcoholic beverage experience in time-to-inebr

That's an interesting statement considering the rules in place had full bipartisan support when they were enacted, I don't buy that it is exclusive to 'the right wing.'

We do now. Separating children from the adults they are accompanied by is a long-standing practice to prevent human trafficking and there are valid reasons for it that both sides of the aisle support, the difference is that ICE is now treat

Frequently, the actual time-to-pick-up does not match the predicted time-to-pick-up. It's effectively the proposed system -- you have to wait longer. Now they want to make you wait even longer . Why not offer better service for higher

It certainly makes sense that those societal structures would be oriented towards families -- throughout history (and in modernity), families have always been the atom of democracy. The sanctity of individuality is a relatively new phenomen

Poverty is overwhelmingly felt by single folks and children of single folks -- especially in communities of color. Whether you're raised in a two-parent household is the #1 indicator of whether a child of color succeeds in life. The tr

I do like the idea of explicit non-nil pointers. While I have refactored code to explicitly exclude all uses of pointers unless absolutely necessary and (as mentioned in the article) studiously check for nil when receiving interfaces and po

npm packages are interesting in that they run both in-browser and in-server -- it stands to reason that the in-browser attack surface is far larger and its impact would be rarely noticed by users (since they're already accustomed to we

AMD's SP3 (Epyc) offerings address the limited capacity. Compared to Intel's current offerings, they are much more cost-competitive in terms of density.

Ah, the DDR4/DIMM Optane models are not yet publicly available (which should significantly bring us closer to parity with memory latency), and I was referring to the Optane NVMe drives being compatible with AMD systems.

It is very exciting to see Optane competitive with conventional NVMe drives -- this is something that Intel got right early and their exploration into DIMM-socketed Optane drives is similarly exciting. It has already been established that f

Or he's fallen into the trap that popularity (and popularity=revenue) is an adequate signal for quality, if third-party sellers are bringing in adequate sales loads then there's nothing to fix.

I wouldn't mind latency being thrown into the typical Mbps marketing jargon, at least it will get some attention (which has sorely been lacking). If we can open up these rules while radically increasing enforcement of quality of servic

It is a combination of cost and populism, where younger people are attracted to companies that pander to them and they are willing to accept less pay for more work. It's a fascinating phenomenon and to see identity politics enter this

Cognitive dissonance of this level has no place in the Canadian government, she clearly lacks any interest in deriving insight from his policies. Rather than trying to understand what is going on, she retreats to ideological blindness. This
