You are only talking about the Go compiler from Google. GCC also supports Go (gccgo) and can call native libraries just like from C. I'm not saying there are no drawbacks in Go, just that I can't think of any advantages of C over

Which compiler? The one from Google, GCC (gccgo) or TinyGo?
423.
by xyproto 7y ago
Can't think of any. Do you have an example?
424.
by xyproto 7y ago
Go has many advantages over C that are not related to GC.

For a computer game, if you start out by allocating a large block of memory, then manage it yourself, I don't see how this would be a problem.

Interestingly, it's fully possible to disable the automatic garbage collection in Go to achieve this. Disable the garbage collector: debug.SetGCPercent(-1) Trigger garbage collection: runtime.GC() It is also possible to a

Cape Town has some areas that feel like an European town and some areas just filled with home-made sheds. I imagine that the crime rates are different in the places where there are actually cameras.

What is the modern choice now, instead of LSTM?

I would feel sad if I would have to go back to i3, though. The feeling of getting rid of X11 is very uplifting, to me.

Parametric polymorphism is a tool to solve real world issues with. It is not unthinkable that there could exist other programmatic tools that would be able to solve the same real world issues.

I tried this on my mobile phone, expecting it to not work properly, but everything was super-smooth. Impressive.

There is a mistake in the presentation. This compiles, even without a return after the if/else block. func comp(a, b int) int { if a < b { return -1 } else if a > b { return 1 } else { return 0

That's interesting. I guess the moral of the story is to never be discouraged by something already existing. There's always room for another twist, if well executed.

And Altavista and Yahoo were much larger than Google, at the time when it appeared.

I see, thanks. I never thought of filters like "cutoff" as subtractive, but I guess that's what they are.

by xyproto 7y ago
Why is it called subtracrive when the signals are added or multiplied?

The list of available applications look promising! I think I would miss Sway and perhaps even Docker, though. I am impressed that OpenBSD comes with Go 1.12.

Why is it not possible to build VSCodium in a reproducible way? Does it download packages while building?

It's "usless use of cat". He/she should have gone: `grep arathorn users.txt | head -1` Instead of: `cat users.txt | grep arathorn | head -n1` Hackers these days.

With UPX the entire docker image with Algernon takes only 9MB.

Good question. I'm not sure if it excels in any scenario. There are specialized web servers that excel at caching or at raw performance. There are dedicated backends for popular front-end toolkits like Vue or React. There are dedicated

Yes, also compressing and decompressing a small amount of bytes may take longer than just sending it uncompressed.

It's in progress. Algernon is an open source project where I am the main contributor, and I develop Algernon in my spare time. Pull requests are welcome.

Algernon would be a lot smaller if it was not statically compiled and compiled with gccgo instead. Sadly, the Go package that provides support for QUIC does not compile with gccgo, yet.
