This one is so blatant maybe it would be supermarine advertising.

I watched one of these a few days ago get stuck at a 4 way stop near Castro St. I think the human driver had to take over.

I think that is solved by the vendor thing. You can have two versions of the dependency, e.g. "vendor/dependency" and "vendor/library/vendor/dependency" and, with the caveats mentioned elsewhere (glo

One that definitely happens is if, for instance, a library returns datastore.ErrNoSuchEntity, but vendored the "datastore" package. If you have your own version of "datastore" then you do "err == datastore.ErrNoSuc

That would be nice, but that is not true in Go. You can register with a function like this one: http://golang.org/pkg/database/sql/#Register (mentioned in the article) and run it in your init() function or a

If by "same side effects" you mean multiple versions of the same library causing issues, I don't think so. Using "go get" you will end up with only a single version of a library for a given path.

What are remote packages?

by nulltype 11y ago
I think it does support multiple versions of a package, as long as the package supports multiple versions of a package. The problem is if a package registers some global name, and another copy of the package also registers the same global

According to this graph: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CJatKFQUkAE5qcR.png:large It's about 0.3ms per MB, so 1ms isn't that different.

Hilariously, the graph in the article is "Vehicle Miles Travelled" not "Hours spent in vehicle" which could be increasing while the other decreases.

I am convinced that GC can cause issues with object lifetimes and pauses (at least without a pauseless GC). Like sanjoy points out though: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9856234 RC could involve atomic increment/

Do you think ARC is a viable alternative? I'm uncertain how the performance compares to GC for most applications.

by nulltype 11y ago
Ah, too bad. Do you know what sort of heap sizes you got those pauses at?
257.

I would say it's a trade-off between writetime efficiency and runtime efficiency. The trend has been that runtime efficiency matters less and less. Compare the modern idea of "efficient" software to the binary that early m

I'm not sure users really care how many gigabytes their word processor is. How fast it is is probably more interesting to them. And while wasting CPU cycles on abstraction layers isn't a great way to make a super fast program, i

Have you encountered any problems with go GC pauses?

I know tons of people under 30 who have a lot of cavities.

GitHub has at least some good ideas in this area. Code review and issue tracking are nice, but everyone seems to want something different from those systems so I'm not sure how to do that in a reasonable way. Access control would be

Is it weird if you just charge GCS-style pricing for git data?

Why does that make it harder for me to move my paid repos off of github? I don't use PR or the github issue tracker, so I could probably start using the google cloud repos tomorrow if felt like it.

Are you talking about http://nuclide.io/ or some other editor?

What happened with AppEngine?
266.
by nulltype 11y ago
That seems true, but only for open source projects. Why would it be hard for closed source projects (where github makes all their money) to move away?

That's pretty amazing! Is the guide available as a webpage?

Well under the new rules the author is paid by paragraph read, not for the whole article.

I started a prototype of a guide like this. I think it's probably the best way to teach OpenGL. Besides not messing with compilers and linkers (a huge advantage) you can have interactive demos right there in the guide, which is prett

A better alternative in my experience is to implement just the unidirectional data flow idea. This gives you some of the advantages of react without a lot of the complexity.
