500GB isn't a lot of data, and $3K/month seems like an extortion for that little data. Having said that, MongoDB pricing page promises 99.995% uptime, which is outstanding, and would probably be hard to beat that doing it oneself,

That works for up and down. But what about side to side? I don't know anyone who inverts left/right. If the lever was at the back of the head, won't left/right be inverted too?

It's really easy to improve the performance of Go implementation as compared to python or Java. There are lots of built-in tools to help you (like the profiler), and the resulting code is really very legible even to fresh college grads

More or less. For a language designed for fresh-out-of-college engineer to pick up in a few weeks and be effective, it is very easy to squeeze out a lot of performance. * built-in profiler. * built-in escape analysis tool. * It's easy

Rubbing alcohol is isopropanol. Drinking alcohol is ethanol. You can get “industrial ethanol” that has some methanol added to prevent people from consuming it, and pay liquor tax on it. These are for chemists for specific applications. None

Kaiser is non profit. They dont have shareholders and no dividends. The 1B net income that year is because some years they run a deficit. If the workers get paid more through this strike, it will translates directly to higher prices. Even

> Go's lack of sum types mean that there is no static check for whether the error has actually been handled or not. I dunno, my IntelliJ calls out unhandled errors. I imagine go-vet does as well.

TLDR: The best part of Go is that there is very little magic in Go. If you understand that slices are just fat pointers implemented as a built-in, there is nothing confusing about them. I can understand every part of a Go program, all the w

What I would have done is first create a map of the file, just the keys and shapes, without the data. That way I can traverse the file. And then mmap the file to traverse and read the data. A couple of dozen lines of code would do it.

I think philosophy is somewhat like math in that there is an attempt to create a logically self consistent system. Except it's not rigorous like math because the logic often have gaps that gets filled with observations (anecdotes), and
