From my understanding of the video, the queries are generated by the analysts via a frontend-generated or hand-written SQL query. The SQL query is parsed by PostgreSQL which forwards it via FDW[1] to Multicorn[2]. Their custom data storage

I've always been a fan of make config-recursive && make install clean which runs `make config` on the package and all dependencies before installing. It's the best of both worlds IMO -- the port will build unatten

The What's New for FreeBSD 10 wiki page[1] linked in the reply has more details (though it doesn't necessarily indicate what will make the cut). The interesting bits to me are the merging of VPS support[2] which, last I read was a

This works for an overcommitted load, but the parent talks about a leak. In this case, you'll eventually exhaust swap.

Yes, but DIAL requires a centralized registry of whitelisted apps (and they're using their own registry for ChromeCast, not the dial-multiscreen.com one); my reading is that Google is un-whitelisting any apps that allow streaming of lo

This is roughly what cgo does, but cgo AFAIK (at least, in 1.0.3 in earlier) does not fully comprehend C preprocessor macros, which are used all over the place in some libraries to define both functions and structs, largely for compatibilit

Another option for this particular example would have been to use pre-existing ncurses bindings, e.g., https://github.com/tncardoso/gocurses which somewhat simplifies things.

To extend that, I don't understand his issue with discarding destructor errors -- most errors I can think of during resource release are mundane (e.g., close(2) returning ECONNRESET) and can safely be ignored. Why not just have `int te
