Before we make a technology choice, we should be clear what those choices are. SQL is a query language and DynamoDB is a database. "NoSQL" technologies can be fronted with SQL interfaces. Relational databases can vary a lot too in

What would be the signature of your gcd function ?

by apoorvgarg 8y ago
Yes, and I think the quoted paragraph has so much more to do with coding around interfaces (behaviour) than with abstraction using non-exported package symbols.

Regarding single-letter variables, mathematical functions might be an exception. I think writing func gcd(a, b int) int {...} is better than other alternatives. There is simply no need to assign any more meaning to the arguments other than

To make your comment useful [0], I would suggest explaining why and giving some context. For example, you could start with the size of your AWS infra, which other tools are you using other than CloudWatch etc. [0] https://news.yc

The question is not suggesting a follow feature. It is just a hypothetical. The aim is to list great contributors on this platform, so that anyone looking at this thread can learn something new from their contributions.

"Oracle DB is at least 10 years ahead of anything else" Is this just sales talk or does it hold any technical truth?

Paging has nothing to do with this. When I say 1 MB thread stacks, it means the maximum size of that thread's stack in the virtual address space [0]. Each of these million threads could be using only a few KBs for its stack (out of tha

Nobody is suggesting that you create a million threads. But to think that it is not possible without TBs of physical memory is a fallacy (for 64-bit machines). The thread switching costs itself could be prohibitive to performance. IIRC, gor

by apoorvgarg 8y ago
Again, all this confusion is due to not being clear about virtual and physical memory. Every OS thread in linux does have a fixed virtual memory size (it is claimed when a thread is created, but this claim is on the virtual memory. This val

I think it is so important to not arbitrarily throw words like 'RAM' in such discussions, and use more unambiguous terminology such as - virtual address space and the resident set size (RSS). On a 64-bit machine, with 1MB stack si
