That depends on what someone is willing to compromise. Extra space to point back at exactly that key (but that also needs to be updated each compaction?); personally I'd normally rather pay the lookup or key sort on iterator snapshot

Search without a setting configured should open the Settings dialog to the page which configures search. On that page should be a list of the current well known / trusted providers (this can be a cached copy for offline config), maybe

The Apple deal had two sides engaged in monopolistic behavior. One was Google buying out that default provider option. The other was Apple, having that default option.

I'd be fine with letting the company get to choose between a sufficiently large fine, and board level executives who encouraged the behavior going to jail for real durations of time. They can pick one of three choices: Don't be ev

I draw the line at, the source keeps changing how it's broken. If things are broken, but in a predictable, standard for that source way... uggh but at least it's their standard and if some tweak gets the common tools working for t

You could write your own syntax sugar functions with signatures like... func copyArrStringShallow(x []string) []string { return x } // strings are immutable in go, but for []byte etc also deep copy that. func copyArr

Offhand, I think the general pattern is to bind related external libraries (E.G. a gui stack) into one agent thread and use channels to send it messages.

I think I'd want to try to decode into map[string]interface{} (offhand), since string keys can be coerced to that in any event (they're strings in the stream, quoted or otherwise), and a key can hold any valid json scalar, array,

I either had that come up in an interview recently myself, OR it wasn't clear to me that I was allowed to use encodings/json to parse the json and then deal with that. I happened to bomb that part of the interview spectacularly b

jvns highlights some of the easier to forgot or overlook mistakes, but their source article https://100go.co is a great refresher and introduction as well.

Don't they use a time based legal discovery archive? I'm not sure when a government org is allowed to expunge old records though, maybe never? Still filing / dividing / partitioning it by at least year and month would

Please also reserve .lan which is what I now prefer to use since .local got stolen from private networks.

Give Apple / mDNS .mdns and let it use THAT instead of .local which should NEVER have been taken from local use in the first place.

I think it would make more sense in a hyperlinked / popup definition field / WikiLike proper noun (a page is a full thing). E.G. White Privilege helps to denote that this is a title for something, and might link to an outside defi

Disney World is the example that comes to mind as an environment where pedestrian movement is maximized. When it works it's still better than driving, but it's extremely tiring to walk _all day_ (at least if you're not used

Page 7 (as labeled) of the slides. The tabs and checkboxes layout have a distinctly Win 9x era look/feel. I do agree that it's missing an obvious menu, and the theme for the window decorations reminds me of win 3.1, but that was

The correct response to an API change is to re-version the API for the library. E.G. bsdtar -> libarchive -- Arguments as presently known bsdtar2 -> libarchive -- Some new overhaul that does things way differently

That seems like a good idea against speculation based attacks too; predict within what is at hand, do not cause side effects.

It sounds slightly less bad than dried horse dung on the streets. Seriously the savings to the RVs for polluting the commons are probably pennies on the dollar for all the issues this could cause others on the roads and near them.
