Thanks. That makes a lot of sense and isn't as complicated as I thought it would be.

From the project page: GC is handled by the golang runtime, which has its own GC This is pretty cool, imo.

Then it would be hard to write this in Go. Can't see how you'd be able to hook into the Go GC in an application written in Go.

It's interesting to see that they distinguish between pro and private users by not allowing private users a receipt. I'm pretty sure this is illegal where I live. I like the idea, though. If you're hobbyist you typically don

In my opinion the language itself lends it self pretty well for GUIs. The concurrency and synchronization primitives are strong. The problem would be to have native bindings to the GUI elements of the various desktop OSes. Which are hard to

it is really, really hard to sell Nginx. their conversion rate is about 0%. they've tried really hard to so, but nobody would buy it.

I am not at all convinced that the measly 1-4% performance we'll manage to eek out of this is worth the effort and complexity.

The old Norse term "stjόrnborði" likely predates the dutch and old English terms, fwiw. Stjόrn means stern, so the back of the boat. I'm guess borði refers to the rudder itself, meaning plank. From what I gather the OP story

I don't think the number is based on any technical limitation. It could be a number based on usage. Say 99.9% of the users use less than 5M files. So my pruning 0.1% of the user base they are getting rid of half the number of files, sa

Let's rule out Chernobyl and look at TMI and Fukushima. - Three Mile Island had cleanup costs of $1B (1982, so maybe $2-3B in todays money). - Cleanup costs after Fukushima seems to be about $500B+ So, even though reactor prices see

Democracy. Sounds banal, but it's all we got. Nuclear triggers some primal fear. The safety regulations have become table stakes, unfortunately.

No. They're stating the preference to use Paypal if the vendor offers it - as opposed to entering CC numbers.

This wasn't really overclocking. Intel ran out of PII-300's and sold a bunch of of PII-450s as PII-300s to fill the whole in the market. CPU economics are weird.

No. It was a proper Pentium II chip, originally binned as a 450Mhz chip. There was a shortage of the low end chip and they re-badged a bunch of high end chips to fill a whole in the market. Tells you a lot of CPU production economics.

I've got a similar story. In 1998 a had a summer job, as a programmer, in a little shop that built computers. At the time there was a short of Pentium II 300Mhz chips. One day the logistics guy mentioned they had gotten a batch of Pent

Trademarks and copyright are different things. As long as the owner of a trademarks keeps defending it, the trademarks will remain valid. This implies that unless MIT wants to lose their trademark, they must defend it, ie going after things

No. This is a microbenchmark. They are really great for writing blogposts that get a lot of attention and not much more. In reality there are other operations you wanna do on your files. Concurrent access, updates, deletes are probably not

Qemu is a lot more than just a frontend. It contains both CPU emulation code and machine emulation code in addition to being able to leverage Linux as the hypervisor. It is a massive piece of software.

If you just want a Linux kernel and user space, to see that your stuff works OK there as well, I'd really recommend Multipass from Canonical. It likely only works with Ubuntu but it is nicely integrated with Macos and requires no setup

The value here comes from the database being able to service the websocket itself, if I read this right. So you don't have to do this in your application.

It is pretty interesting to see, though. Sweden has a lot of "old money" and they seem to quite happy letting then keep it.

You know, for the last couple of months we learned quite a bit about the reliability of gas power. It's not really that great.

In the 1995 case of Qualitex Co. v. Jacobson Products Co., the Supreme Court described trademark law as "preventing others from copying a source-identifying mark" and assisting the customer in making purchasing decisions.

Trademarks are supposed to be consumer protection regulation. They aren't there to protect the corporations. If I make some brown goo and call it "Pepsi" then Pepsico can sue me because I confuse their customers and not becau
