What is everyone ranting about? Append is not a method of the type slice, it is a function that returns a slice. What I read is people writing a := make([]int,2,2) b := a a = f() And then "mommyyyy a is not equal to b anymoreeeee"

The way I read the results Java is basically faster only on the regex benchmark and it is known fact that today go has a slow regex library. Everything else the results show Java to be slower with larger code and larger memory footprint. Wh

"a toxic, nightmarish lake created by our thirst for smartphones" Is it my decision of buying a smartphone or the host country's lack of will to make laws to protect its citizens and environment? Hmmm I wonder what makes more

Let me correct you here: it's not the speed of light the issue here it's the parasitic capacitance that grows with the size of the subarray. From that point of view, when the array is large enough, the particular technology you ad

This library is fantastic. These patterns are essential in the production of print-ready and print-like contents. With the high resolution screens available today these make for stunning graphical presentation.

What is an element store? An object store? Unless I'm not understanding the use case, if this is a persistent object cache, defining an interface on each type you want to store sounds like a lot of overhead... Why not implementing a pe

If I get the point of the article, the author would argue that cpp provides some form of closure (you can code a macro that generates a function that behaves somewhat like a closure if you want...)

I think that function is meant to set the debug level, not to produce a log output...

Looking for business in Italy may not be a smart idea now, but opening the R&D branch of your startup there could well be brilliant.

Organized crime has nothing to do with the issues of opening a startup in Italy! What is missing is an ecosystem for startups: no VCs, fair amount of bureaucracy and challenging employment laws. However, you get great engineers, passionate,

I wish it were a bit more verbose on the terms and their use. What does he mean by phase "term" and frequency "term"? "Term" -> "error"? And if so why the frequency would set to a relative error of

I have to agree with moru here. The latency on memory access will be negligible with respect to the latency of any io operations, even within the same data center. In my experience anything that involves the OS is >> 1us. Also beware

Not sure you need tracking for this: if you let the camera still, you should obtain a stripe that will vary in luminosity as the planet passes, which basically integrates the sampling point for you. (This of course is limited to short perio
