I have used this and combined it with a small autocomplete engine built on top of Redis a while back. It worked amazingly well. Users type three words and we fetch the entire list of completions from Redis, then we pass this through to Post

I see your point, and usually these work best if the interviewer can prove that such a thing is needed. For instance, many jobs might require sorting of data that cannot fit on disk (think for instance of loading a massive file that you wan

Indeed. Usually if you get question such as "you have an array of 1 through n", the immediate thought should be "why is it just up to n and not arbitrary numbers"? From there, you know you can get a linear sort by levera

We went with this exact approach in my previous job, using OpenAPI to do everything the blog post mentions, including code generation, diffs for API consumers (published to Slack, for instance), and more. I believe this has a very good shot

Biking is a very contentious issue in Cambridge. It was one of the most discussed topics during the last council elections and the split, at least how I saw it, was quite generational. There have been a few deadly incidents as well, adding

it also requires almost no private info, so, technically, you can stay anonymous (modulo a dedicated adversary). Granted, I agree with your point. HN should try and mask deleted account, but the website is public, and therefore the point is

How about if you think of it in terms of the bond that such branding rests on. Surely, if my tribe, home, and history is tied to the name Amazon, then that beats (for some definition of "beats") one's relationship with an onl

They almost surely did not implement Git in Ruby, but merely wrote bindings to it. I used to remember reading through their Ruby source code for this (Edit: found it, it's called Rugged). But even then, you need a more efficient API la

Upvotes are actually ideal for an in-memory service like Redis that fsyncs less frequently. Even if you lose the last few reads (highly unlikely, with some care), it's not the end of the world.

What was the result of the litigation? From a money perspective, it seemed like "admitting fault" would be far more reasonable, and I think in this sense executives tend to exaggerate effects of "admitting fault", becaus

It's not as cut throat as you make it sound. People who go to "practical" schools can always switch back. I lived in Germany and have friends who got Bachelor's degree at 35+. Another good reason to make it affordable is

This is a conversation about education. The EU, with all its faults, is leaps and bounds ahead of the US in the democratization of education, even though the US was the nation that pioneered the field in the first place. Goes to show how ex

I don't understand why people don't like that. If you hate it so much, why not write a plugin for your text editor that collapses it? This will make read the Go code much faster, and only peek in if you are curious. The proposed `

> They have so much money from welfare they can come visit the states and hangout regularly and have endless vacation while getting paid. This sounds too good to be true. Do you have any numbers? The welfare systems in EU are shrinking.

Squeak was the inspiration for Newsqueak by Rob Pike, co-author of Golang. A lot of the concurrency ideas can be traced to this timeline, some fascinating stuff there. Check out this video by Pike: https://www.youtube.com/wa
