Don’t know why, but this was an approachable intro to FP for me, just the right level of detail for me to grok why.

I’ve used lulu.com for this in the past for small one-off print jobs (I think it was 5$ for something around 80 pages)

Agreed, when you start to need these kind of optimizations, go might not be the best choice

I think you could do the pointerless version (the one using an int32 index) of this in go via unsafe casting. I’ll try it out later

It is probably closer to something like avro, but with more features and less java focus.

Kafka works best when the data it is returning to consumers is in the page cache. When consumers fall behind, they start to request data that might not be in the page cache, causing things to slow down.

Do you like the reMarkable tablet? I currently have an iPad Pro but I really don’t like reading PDFs on it. I’d love to stop printing out papers and an eink display would be nice. EDIT: just read your review linked in the post

NVMe is the spec for controllers supporting NVM. Think PCI vs PCIe https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NVM_Express

I do the same thing. Small projects start with the job queue in postgres. As things eventually scale up, I move the queue to its own dedicated postgres node. Once that starts to be too slow, I finally move to redis/kafka. 99% of things

I'd be really interested in this for non-tech books as well. I'd love to have a fast way to find new fantasy books.

I assume they are talking about things like the truetime clocks used in spanner, which are not available on commodity hardware

I'd hope they have some sort of rate limiting built in

I bet sorting the letters by frequency in the English alphabet would make it faster.

You should listen to the http://historyofenglishpodcast.com/ . He goes into great detail about how the Proto-Germanic languages evolved via sound changes (e.g. Grimm's law). Also see https://en.wikipedia.org&
