It’s not just rides, but also matching drivers with riders, geofence lookups, etc. it’s not a CRUD app.

Your post doesn’t address mine. I gave specific advice for addressing the GP’s issue. It’s much easier to move your allocs out of the hot path in Go than it is to do virtually anything in C++. I’m not claiming Go will compete with C++ on pe

The original claim was that concurrency is easier in Go, not that Go has a higher performance ceiling. You are the one making the different argument. :)

Presumably he was downvoted for responding to “concurrency in Go is easier” with “Disagree. I can get every bit of performance out of an 88 core CPU with C++”. It’s not a coherent counter argument; no one claimed Go was as efficient as C++,

That's ... not helpful. I already profile and profiling indicates that allocations are slow and sweeps are fast. Go's optimization for this is escape analysis which is a best-effort attempt to put things on the stack. Because the

I guarantee you the "little bit of planning" you're doing in C++ is far greater than the equivalent planning in Go to avoid the global allocator in your goroutines (i.e., allocate on the stack, use object pools, etc). I'

Usually I use pools to avoid the allocation cost. The GC sweep is not usually my problem.

Python is also a GC’d language...

My post had nothing to do with creationists nor were they a principle feature of the thread. I’m not really interested in this tangent. If creationism is a metaphor for pseudoscience in general, then my beef is that the Guardian publishes i

It’s not hard to distinguish between someone who is trying to be neutral and objective and someone who is pushing an agenda. It’s one thing to accidentally let some bias slip in and quite another to advocate openly for your worldview. Notab

That is also my impression. Especially on social issues, so much of what they publish is shamelessly ideological. I get that we can't completely eliminate bias, but I have no use for a publication that makes no attempt.

This is a pretty bold statement. How many Americans do you know?

ACA requires insurers to cover pre-existing conditions. That's a cost that needs to be recovered, and most of that additional coverage comes by increasing premiums. Ergo, ACA increases premiums.

I think it's something else (or perhaps I'm only elaborating on your point)--the proliferation of postmodern ideologies (e.g., progressivism) throughout our epistemological institutions (principally the media and the academy) whic

Specifically, how does one measure democracy ? I hadn't thought about this before, but I'm intrigued and no good answers are springing to mind.

The other party(ies) could do the same, so I don't see how this is any worse than the current system.

Agreed, but the scenario we’re discussing is a US company sourcing parts from a Chinese company. The PRC’s stiff penalties don’t protect the consumer in this scenario.

I don't know man. That sounds more like you're in a media bubble than it sounds indicative of some broader trend. The media report the exceptional, not the norm. It doesn't mean you're wrong, but just that this evidence

You and the parent are saying the same thing. You're just mincing the word "force". You're insisting on using it in a different figurative sense than the parent, but the parent's meaning is perfectly clear.

It's not at all obvious that "they" refers to "netflix and other post-production oriented users", and your argument is a tautology "Python is good at the things that Python is good at". Obviously. The rest

On the other hand, at least the American supplier was fined and someone went to prison. Fraudulent Chinese suppliers routinely escape justice altogether because they largely operate outside of US jurisdiction.

It’s a problem for lots of things Python is used for, but maybe not vfx (whatever that is).
