It's not just better performance on latency benchmarks, it likely improves throughput as well because the writes will be batched together. Many applications do not require true durability and it is likely that many…
It means that the action we should take in response to this article is "building more dorms with singles" rather than "we need to rethink the way that we are making accommodations for disabilities in educational…
This is an insane standard and attempting to adhere to it would mean that the CVE database, which is already mostly full of useless, irrelevant garbage, is now just the bug tracker for _every single open source project…
Great idea! Now to just find somewhere to put a billion dollars worth of solar PV in California, preferably somewhere where it doesn't ever get dark so the power will stay on at night.

How does this kind of shit get upvoted? it really takes about 5 seconds of thinking about this to realize why this "analysis" is stupid - he takes an INCREDIBLY expansive view of what counts as "pollution" from food…
Yes it is, it's part of the standard go toolchain as described in the first blog post in the series: https://eng.uber.com/dynamic-data-race-detection-in-go-code/
At least some of these would be caught by running your tests with race detection on? I haven't read the whole article yet but as soon as I read the loop variable one I was pretty sure I have written code with that exact…
I love Go and goroutines, but... > A newly minted goroutine is given a few kilobytes a line later > It is practical to create hundreds of thousands of goroutines in the same address space So it's not practical to create…
There are comments suggesting that this was reported the Apache some time ago, but a CVE wasn't assigned? Getting a CVE assigned, even with hardly any details at all ("get ready to upgrade log4j") could have really…
like PEP484 type annotations having a runtime performance hit? I would be very interested in seeing a link to this if you can dig it up.
Yup! As I noted in a comment above, this is just not a common case for us - usually our inbound traffic is coming from SEO which sends you to the right place. But when I am typing it into a search box, it's real easy to…
Well...in many cases all it really tells you is the roundtrip network latency, which may or may not be something you are interested in. In my case it actually was sort of interesting - it definitely suggested that the…
Tip: if your site is going to redirect from the bare domain to something else (e.g. `https://example.com` -> `https://example.com/home/`) make sure you enter the final destination, letting it redirect means that the…
Can anyone describe at a high level for a complete noob how this kind of thing works? Someone who is not going to be able to read a bunch of ASM and interpret it? I'm guessing that it is something along the lines of: -…
It appears they have, the y-cruncher program he used does verification. Alexander Yee, who wrote the y-cruncher program (which has been used for the previous 4 world record calculations of digits of Pi), has accepted it…
I call bullshit. Say what tower it was, and when it was built, and what time frame you are actually talking about so we can verify for ourselves whether it was actually empty or not, or even if it was empty whether it…
That's just the NICU expenses. If your baby needed any procedures (e.g. MRIs), that would likely be in addition to that. Both my kids spent ~3 weeks in NICU, bill for everything (entirely covered by insurance except for…
It's not intended to be pronounced with a hard G either, but that doesn't stop people.
Using the LD50 for a carcinogen is inappropriate. LD50s are used as a measure of acute toxicity. The issue isn't that it's going to kill you from toxicity, it's that if you expose thousands of children to even low…
Then you are just forcing your application to deal with the dangling reference in the case of a failed "transaction". The whole point of TPC is not to have to deal with that complexity. Whether that complexity is…
Why do you value democracy? My answer would be because democracy realizes liberal* ideas in a political process. But if liberal processes lead to illiberal outcomes, what do you do? I don't think you can argue that the…
The $1000 units are gone, forever. If Portland builds enough to keep up with demand, eventually inflation will cause the rent in real terms to be equivalent to $1000 2017 dollars, but the sticker price for these units…
YES. This is basically proxying to S3. Why would you ever want to do that? You want to give clients a presigned URL to do the upload. Lots of ORMs support "file fields" though which encourage you to do this or something…
Since 9.2 Postgres has had index-only scans which can substantially improve the performance of `SELECT COUNT(* )` queries. If you need to get exact counts, and your query plan is not showing an index-only scan, you…
