If `bar` is a slice then the short syntax isn't that useful (although it's shorter than the three-clause for loop equivalent). But if `bar` is a map or a channel, then that short syntax is very handy. For comparison's sake, y

I have a similar story - one of our products at $DAYJOB is a kind of CRM/ERP SaaS for a specific niche. It pays its way, but at a huge cost of time spent on support and maintenance. When non-trivial feature requests come in, we can&#x2

I remember being quite surprised to see the Property Accessors RFC for PHP get declined, largely on the basis of making the language more complicated. It annoyed me at the time but I do respect the decision to resist adding every single fea

Not only does it still exist, devices running 32-bit Windows 10 are still actively sold. I purchased one in 2016 (Intel compute stick) and another in 2017 (Ollee D1016W). Both have 64-bit capable Atom CPUs, but were deliberately shipped wit

To expand on that: MSYS was a fork of Cygwin 1.3, and MSYS2 is a fork of Cygwin 1.7. (Babun is a distro of Cygwin, and Git-bash is a distro of MSYS2.)

Debian stable releases have a 2+ year lifespan so even 1.9 would be out of date for most of the distro's life. Luckily Go is quite easy to install and use from an isolated directory, and the majority of Debian usage here would be as a

Great article, makes it very clear what parts of the database are- and are not- provided by the storage engine. I wrote a C wrapper for BoltDB recently, i wonder how MySQL would perform linked to that? I have some memories of looking at VB6

The WOW64 layer has a few caveats. For instance, filesystem virtualization means that users of your app may see different content in a "File > Open" dialog than they would in an Explorer window.

There's also "ULID" in this neo-UUID space: https://github.com/alizain/ulid 48-bit timestamp plus 80 bits randomness, base32 encoding (no hyphens), and lexicographic sort order.

> GOMAXPROCS is actually a lie. If you set it to 1, the runtime will still create threads. It's not a lie. The variable is GOMAXPROCS, not GOMAXTHREADS. "procs" is specific jargon of the G:M:P scheduler design.

You can keep using Go. Its behaviour here is actually usually what you want. To avoid the authors' issue, you can write some functions in C. CGo has a very high level of integration (you can mix languages in the same source file) and w

I am interested in this idea, but I don't expect a better solution than SNI to appear anytime soon. RFC2817's `Upgrade: TLS` is just like SNI except it requires an extra roundtrip and it only works for HTTP, not other TLS-enabled

Are numbers available for FP16 on P100 or FP32 on V100? It would make for a more direct comparison. EDIT: Nvidia's advertised TFLOPS are: FP16 FP32 FP64 V100 30 15 8.5 P100 21.2 10.6 5.3 K40 4.29 4.29

My usual solution for this is C++/Qt. Runs well on Linux, and on Windows you can statically link Qt into the single .exe if your small app is FOSS (at least LGPL-compatible), otherwise you should ship a few extra .dll files. Compared t

The charts extend only up to ~5Hz and the intensity already decreased a lot. Human hearing range commonly doesn't start until 20Hz. Do you have charts including higher frequencies?
