I played from 1995~2001/2ish. Probably to this day the most rich online gaming experience I've had; the book version of a succession of inferior films.

A few comments on some things I'm seeing in these.. comments. - What about Cassandra/PostgreSQL/Redis? One of the implications of "99% of data is never read" is that it's incredibly wasteful to keep it all in m

I have actually heard of Kx and Kdb+ and Q and have looked into those products. You're right that I should have mentioned them, because they are important in that space, and in many ways they are miles ahead. The state of time series

I have a lot of experience with Django's ORM and I would say that the essential character of these heavier ORMs is missing from the afore mentioned libraries. They can be used in the way you describe, but that's not their typical

> The belief that ORMs are evil is precisely the belief that this sort of code should be repeated everywhere database access is performed. If you have generalized routines for interacting with the database with more comfortable abstract

When I wrote the same kind of article in Nov 2011 [1], I came to similar conculsions; ujson was blowing everyone away. However, after swapping a fairly large and json-intensive production spider over to ujson, we noticed a large increase i

What tulip should have been. Being a long time gevent user, I found goroutines pretty familiar and even unspectacular (no pool.map?!). What really converted me to Go was all of the other ways I found writing Go programs to be more pleasant

There is no type hierarchy and there are no subtypes. Interfaces do not describe type relationships. The conversion required between `[]int` and `[]interface{}` further demonstrates the significance of this distinction. As for losing type

by jmoiron 12y ago
Go does not have a type hierarchy, so there is no top type. You can easily use interface{} to make generic data structures, but interfaces have a time/space/code-complexity cost which makes them not worth it most of the time.

The way you describe it ends up being more awkward, because you have to change code to reference the new path, both in your own code, and potentially in the library you've forked and other dependencies that use it. Vendoring by just m

I spent years out in the woods with my own projects page that nobody could find and very few cared about, happily cutting trees down with nary a witness. I wanted control over backups, presentation, availability. I was terrified of relyin

Yeah, I think that bold looks better with sans serif typefaces than underline, so that was a design rather than an ergonomic decision; perhaps not a correct one. I think underlined blue text is probably the "most linky" looking text, give

I've independently come up with the same decisions on many of these points and, weirdly, a very similar blog design: http://jmoiron.net I decided even to dispatch with the header bar, putting navigation at the bottom of the main page; pr

Unfortunately if you focus on beauty you sometimes break pragmatism. The JavaScript example in particular is not merely a typographical convention, but a way to avoid common errors. var i=1 , j=2 , k=3 You can remove a

I don't know how most other people code, but I rarely write out a module, even from scratch, in a way that doesn't require editing and rearranging. I start with a skeleton which reflects my best understanding of the problem and then try my

http://markdotto.com/bs2/docs/less.html Odd, it says that lessc can take --compress, but using the most recent version of less in npm says that there's no such flag. Maybe it's on the way, or the bootstrap authors know something we don't.

I normally shy away from writing provocative information-light rants. The important parts (for me): 1. github is a social service, or perhaps best used as a social service 2. it has "the momentum", which is paramount for social services 3.

I've been watching this pretty closely; the multi-db in 1.2 alone makes it worth the upgrade. It's about a 20 line backend router to get round-robin RODB usage, which is very welcome for sites under high read loads. A lot of systems have

I've found actionbutton to be a step below the old reviews, perhaps for similar reasons that Tim now finds his honeymoon in Japan souring. The reviews there tend to be a lot more about being entertaining than enlightening, and their stated
