This is explained in detail in this talk: https://youtu.be/Ucp0TTmvqOE?t=6662 Calling it "customer data" is a stretch. The software in Tesla cars can do the following: - send pictures of the road taken at random i

It seems to me they could have used the following hack to fix such issue: var dontOptimizeMeBro byte // go:noinline func makeStackBig() { var buf [16386]byte dontOptimizeMeBro = buf[0] + buf[len(buf)-1] } Cal

Someone is trying: https://notational.co/ For what it's worth: I was also heavy nvAlt user and this looked promising but it's half cargo-culting. They did copy some aspects of nvALT but as a whole it's missin

Netflix just released its Q1 numbers. They've added record 6.9 million subscribers. That's new subscribers - defectors. I'm not sure what would cause the "masses" to re-evaluate the quality of selection, especially

Some interesting updates on and information about Tesla's AutoPilot. Few interesting things from the interview: Musk seems very confident that full self-driving will be ready within 2 years and that Tesla will do it before anyone else.

If nothing else, what do you expect Google to say? "No, we'll definitely be dropping this"? The services that Google dropped were either big bets that ended up as massive failures in the marketplace (e.g. wave, google+) or se

Thanks for the tip, CirrusCI looks interesting.

It looks like we're both doing the same thing. I don't know, maybe I'm not counting things right but for example https://codecov.io/gh/ravendb/ravendb-go-client/src/master/d... shows

Yes I did and I don't think it's crazy. I'm not sure a tool could do 100% translation but I'm sure it could do a lot. A surprisingly large amount of time was just moving the order of variable declaration from Java's

I would split it into multiple packages. I would survey existing libraries for other JSON document databases (MongoDB, Google's Firestore etc.) and steal all their best ideas. But honestly, good API design is something that needs a lot

It's true that if those code bases were evolving together, it would be possible to make them more in sync by sticking closer to what Go provides. But RavenDB is 10 years old. Java client already exists and has 50 thousands lines of cod

I do use builtin coverage. It's just it's nice to be able to track code coverage over time, which is what codecov.io provides. Also, running all tests (to get full code coverage) takes 20 minutes and makes fan on my laptop unhappy

There are an estimated 1 million of Go programmers. The goal of the project was to enable those Go programmers to be able to use RavenDB database in projects written in Go. The company also maintains Python client library and Node.js client

Kotlin can already use existing Java library, I presume. The goal for the company was to enable an estimated 1 million of Go programmers to use RavenDB database. This is Java AND Go (and Python and Node) scenario, not Java OR Go.

If I was writing this code from scratch, I would make a few different decisions. That being said, from a business point of few, making Go code base be as close as possible to Java version makes a lot of sense. Java client is written the way

RavenDB is written in C#. At first, it was Windows only but now is cross-platform database engine (Windows / Linux / Mac OS). As a result, the original and most featureful client is for C# / .NET. Java client is a port of C#

RavenDB is a database server, like PostgreSQL or MongoDB. It requires database drivers (client libraries) for as many languages as possible. More client libraries, more programmers can use RavenDB, more licenses for RavenDB sold. They alrea

And yet Go pretty much ate the lunch of C# and Java when it comes to backends and devops, despite the fact that both had a decade of head start and generics and large dev teams behind them. I like C# and Java, certainly much more than C++,

Panasonic makes battery cells. Think AAA battery. Tesla designed and makes everything else, and that's a lot. The technology that goes into making sure that the battery lasts a long time, works decently in cold and hot, can be charged

Business-wise it's clearly a big advantage for Tesla. A superior supercharging network can very well be the thing that makes someone buy Tesla over a competing electric car. That being said, Tesla has said from the beginning that they

No, because people generally vastly over-estimate the value of data to advertisers. Google and Facebook make lots of money because they have near duopoly on online advertising. They make money by taking a cut of ad impression. Data helps in
