If you were using append, then yes. Minor nit: when allocating with length (make(type, len)), you’ll get a slice with zero values for n elements. If you use make(type, len, capacity), then it would only reallocate if your estimated size was

Depending on the payment mechanism the act of issuing a chargeback causes reputation loss. With enough cases you’ll get your account closed. I’ve seen this happen to people doing a few returns on Amazon, or issuing a few chargebacks on thei

The difference in this case is there’s a malicious party acting against the system too. It would be like one gas station you go to throwing some sugar in the tank just to mess with you.

The cost of increased performance and efficiency is unfortunately met with an increase in overall fragility of the system. As gate sizes shrink down they’re more susceptible to fluctuations in voltage, temperature and electromagnetic induct

Almost everything in software development is in a constant state of change. The languages, the libraries, the frameworks, the development tools, the protocols used to transmit data, the platforms you host on. Even though we’re doing the sam

This will all depend on your working relationship with your VP but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with citing burnout as a reason. It’s hard to argue against that, you’ll hopefully not burn your bridges so have the option to come back

At the same time I guarantee you they didn’t get it right the first time. I’m sure there were multiple (both serially and in parallel) runs as they worked out kinks and tuned hyper parameters.
