Coming from C++, it didn't take months. I got a couple lifetime errors at the start, but I understood the reason behind them all[1]. Now I don't get the errors[2]. In C++ you need to think about the lifetimes anyway or your code w

You write "transaction", but Unix filesystems don't know anything about any transactions from the application's point of view. To them it's just a bunch of write(2) calls. How is a ZFS snapshot going to make sure th

I didn't mention it, but wind is also a plus for me. Warsaw has too little wind for my taste. :)

That doesn't square with the fact that people who can afford it choose wildly-different places based on weather. Loads of people move from places like Edinburgh precisely due to weather, and move somewhere which is hotter, drier and su

Different people like different weather. For me e.g. Edinburgh has the perfect weather (I'm planning to move there). Where I am currently (Poland), I'm miserable in the summer, when humidity drops as low as 40% and temperatures ge

It actually made the file bigger (1.1G from 1.0G) :) I was getting the same numbers with text data I have scattered on my disk, but those were small, so I decided to generate a bigger file. But, yes, I agree a more robust benchmark would us

Regarding voting, I think people who pay taxes should only be allowed to vote based on the place they pay their taxes in. It really annoys me that because I don't have a long-term address, I need to separately register where I live at

I've read somewhere (possibly when Go came out) that it's on purpose. For fun, Alan Cox once made a post on Google+ (RIP) showing a crappy random number generator based on Go's select.

(Immutable) strings being built-in is hardly unique. As for hash maps and dynamically sized arrays being built-in, instead of provided by the standard library: there is no benefit adoption-wise. The real reason is that Go didn't use to

Using just fio without kernel tracing, you run the risk of testing the filesystem instead of the storage medium. You could use fio to fabricate I/O operations, but the measurements coming from tracing are more trustworthy than the user

If what you have a problem with is the statement that "0.9999... = 1", then there are two proofs of that: 1. Analytical 0.9999... = \sum_{n=1} ^{\infty} (9 * 0.1^n) = 0.9/(1 - 0.1) = 0.9/0.9 = 1 The first equality is by
