I had to deal with the second problem in a file synchronization app. The solution was to propagate a “device id” through the request and poll/push, so the originating device could ignore changes that it originated.

Thanks Russ! Putting tooling on a first-class basis was revolutionary, and it's still Go's standout feature.

I read a lot of SFF, but the actual Hugo / Nebula winners don't really move up in my reading list compared to the other nominees. Maybe the "winner" sticker drives some paper book sales?

Migrate the most complex use case first. There's nothing worse than discovering mid-migration that you have to pause for rework. Better instead to slow down with your first adopter and accelerate for subsequent.

.NET is a little smarter about switch code generation these days: https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/pull/66081

Agreed this was confusing. It seems like the risk factors that would lead to turning off a neighborhood (non-buried power lines, exposure to wind and available fuels) should have been known and announced in advance. I'm in Lafayette, a

That's actually a real concern for using this strategy in Colorado in the fall. The Marshall Fire (mentioned in the article) was followed by snow and temperatures well below freezing. Sadly, this probably killed some pets that escaped

Wasn't that due to lightning strikes on the cables?

This isn't FUSE. It's a thin middle layer to hydrate content into the real filesystem.

FFI was high priority for C# in the early days, when most meaningful .NET software was running on Windows and doing interop with win32. The runtime was designed to ensure that scenario would be low-overhead, and that legacy lives on in mode

Yup. I’ve had one of the North Carolina Google Fiber shirts for well over a decade. I walked by the office a few weeks ago. It’s vacant and looked trashed inside. There’s a metaphor there.

Go has entered the "boring technology" phase, along with Java, .NET, etc. It's a safe, productive choice, with well understood upsides and downsides. There's not much to talk about... and that's ok! "Choose Bor

Collection expressions are somewhere between spooky and very cool. If you don't specify a concrete type for the collection, the compiler is free to choose the "best" option given your usage of the collection: https:/&

Two-way communication is important to prevent false positive emergencies, too. There have been several times I've used my inReach to message that I'm going to miss my planned check-in time, but everything is OK - no need to alert

There's a lot of that happening in the Front Range (east side, not the Colorado). In addition to the mentioned benefits, beaver dams are also great at filtering debris from recent wildfires from continuing downstream.

I'm really hoping Aug 30 is a clear night in Colorado. Hiking by moonlight is something else.

Those can be some of the most fun problems. Fixing deeply rooted reliability or scalability problems in the business's core product without disrupting users? That's absolutely a path to recognition and rewards.

I'm a data point towards that feedback loop. My partner and I moved to Colorado from a Southern state 4 years ago. We wanted to live somewhere in the West, and chose Colorado because: * Mountains! * Great legal protections for gender m

I'm not familiar with the Python client specifically, but Redis clients generally multiplex concurrent requests onto a single connection per Redis server. That necessitates some queueing.

Office documents are zip files - you could get a start on this by version-controlling the contents individually.

C# has the same issue for stack-allocated spans. Doing that in a loop is often a stack overflow.

I booked the 5-7am slot at RMNP every week this summer and had no problems, including July 4. If you're doing anything that's life and death, you arrive before 5am anyway. The accident you reference mentioned that he knew it was a

A few years ago, I needed faster SQLite interop than Microsoft.Data.Sqlite, and ended up writing my own: https://github.com/zmj/sqlite-fast The ergonomics could be better, but this enabled query execution to avoid heap
