One pattern that I've used when parsing large json responses is to have a table schema like frequently|used|data|in|these|cols|full_json_response So you pull out the fields you need frequently but have the full json so you can

That seems very odd. Somewhat similar to putting up a billboard then saying it's illegal for people to read it, as the billboard wasn't intended for them.

There's nothing inherently wrong with crawlers and automated tools, but there's a lot of poorly written scrapers out there that can easily generate a huge volume of traffic along with the associated maintenance. Why waste time cat

Im a bit out of date, but lots of databases are moving towards an in-memory model (or in-memory feature sets) which means that hard drive access times aren't a bottleneck. The AWS EC2 instances you see with 1TB+ of RAM are generally ai

What do you mean by 'fast enough'? As compiled languages go I think it's generally accepted that go compiles relatively quickly, especially for large projects with lots of dependencies (as it has saner dependency rules than c

The pricing is interesting when you compare it to G Suite pricing. For $10/user/month (with a minimum of 5 users) you get unlimited storage space. a pretty roundabout way of getting unlimited storage, but then you'd also save

Given that go is already pretty well specified (and, perhaps more importantly, has 2 mature implementations) it's hard to see what advantages having it formally standardised would bring. https://golang.org/ref/spec

I'd be surprised if something similar to python 2/3 happens. The go team have been very explicit in saying that all go 1 code must continue to compile, and transitioning to go 2 needs to be as seamless as possible (most likely usi

I think it's worth remembering that the userbase of chrome is huge and largely non-technical (i.e. they're not going to be on hn, twitter, reddit etc. voicing their opinion on the privacy implications of this change). What if for

Yeah, and it's a crap customer experience imo. You're lured in with an attractive starting offer only for the company to change the deal after you've signed up. Maybe im just being overly optimistic in thinking it'd be n

Just playing devil's advocate... "Why did you offer me a service that was unsustainable in the first place? I just want the keep paying the same for the same product you've sold me for the last x months."

In the UK (and EU I think) you can pick your own PIN. You just go to any atm and there's a 'change your PIN' option.

Worth bearing in mind that hopefully a lot of that will be runtime overhead, so it won't scale linearly with the size of your program.

I believe there's been some debate within the go team as to how well a non-go GC would work with go, as the current GC is pretty tuned to the quirks of go (go routine stacks etc.)

Is paying editors typical for a journal? Id guess Nature is comparatively well off financially, so would smaller journals be able to afford to pay editors in the same way?

I wonder if it's related to the sink over which it's installed? The taps have always worked well in my experience.

Let's not forget the part where people write shitty scripts that bombard your server with 10x the quantity of traffic you see from actual users. There's shittiness from both producers and consumers.

The maintainers have already publicly stated that this will be the case. They used python 2 to 3 as an example of what they're NOT going to do.

In addition to what everyone else has said, I think the wording is quite important. My reading is that encoding takes up 70% of their CPU hours. A 92% saving on that is obviously very good, but there's a lot of other ways you can spend

It's hard to say without seeing the numbers as they're almost certainly getting a very steep discount from Aws (in return for extolling the virtues of Aws, being pushed in Aws promo material etc.) In addition I would assume there&
