a) why not use switch { case len(a) < len(b): b = b[:len(a)] case len(b) < len(a): a = a[:len(b)] } b) do you know the usual length of the slices? if so, can't you autogenerate/manually write switch to manually

Scrum/Agile is awesome! I always used the daily calls to ask as much dumb shit as possible to make the meetings as long as i could so i could keep charging my hourly rate without actually working.

No, i just remember a comment from some former MS dev who knew something about the testing process in MS. I think it might have even been a comment in here actually.

interesting. i was actually yesterday pondering whether youtube gave up on this since i have not had issues for months now. before i had to scrape all cache and logout. usually once a week. but then it stopped and all went back to normal. i

i remember reading years ago about the reason windows updates since 8 or 10 were so bad was because MS fired all testers and scrapped their testing hardware and now they are testing virtually in cloud. I guess nothing has changed, still. co

essentially that is how integrals are calculated in mathematics if i remember correctly. you take a curve and divide it into columns, the thinner the column the smaller the deviation(because the curve has round edges so your bar will have i

say you load 1 million records and you average them at 5.1. you then load another million and average them at 4.5. so you 5.1+4.5=9.6/2=4.8. rinse and repeat. as long as you keep the amount of records processed per each run about the s

actually i think you can also just average each chunk and then add it to existing data. like read N rows(say all have one location to keep it simple), average the data from the chunk, update/save min and max, move on to next chunk, do

looks like the increased cost is not worth the profit. simple mathematics. capitalism is nature and you cannot fight the nature because sooner or later something gives.

I used to use it a lot but in time it becomes more of an obstacle than a net positive. http and websockets with json(front end), cbor(back end) or pb(back end) is the way to go. it gives you exactly the same features but zero restrictions.

> TTL doesn’t say anything about eviction among objects that are still live, no? TTL IS eviction policy. You just store a timestamp along the value. When you access it, you check the timestamp and if it is stale, you delete it and return

I never understood this cost nonsense. TTL is the only thing that makes any sense to me. And implementation is trivial. All these caches are just a map underneath anyway, pointing to some data somewhere in memory. That's about it. Not

As a user, for me, YouTube has been shrinking ever since the first adpocalypse. By that I mean I rarely see new videos or relevant recommendations. It is all stale content and pages only couple of pages instead of going infinite like it use

In Go, I would normally have my own time function which would return the std lib time function, which works flawlessly for testing my own code. The problem is if there is foreign code(ie. 3rd library dependency) that uses time and which mak

I remember youtube being shady with firefox for ages. I think there was some kind of famous div being injected into firefox responses that caused some issues. Fuck google.

I do like Go tests. Would love to have ability to find out untested parts of the code base though to increase coverage, but I do not think there is a way to measure this with available tools just yet. Although I have yet to make integration
