Most gasoline cars will get pretty low on gas with a full day on the track. I track and usually end up topping up some after lunch. Most tracks have gas there, and charge like $6-8/gal. Often with Tesla, year people leave at lunch to g

Derek's hashmap was faster than than Go 1.0's built in hashmap. With Go 1.1 or 1.1.1 (don't remember which one exactly), the standard one did become faster, though Derek had decided to stick with it as is. I can ask him what

I hadn't seen runtime.Gosched() before, will take another look at it. Mentioned it to a coworker and they already knew of it, so maybe it was always switched to call it instead of sleep. :)

Yes... the primary case where it was biting us was with our testing suite. It was a set of functional tests that had multiple goroutines going. It was something that had always passed and never been an issue on 1.0.3, but started failing 85

I hadn't looked at that issue before, but have definitely been bit by it. On our main codebase, we experienced some major issues when moving from Go 1.0 to 1.1 from this exact issue. We had a goroutine that was doing some remote calls

The remote package importing is quiet easy to work around and to lock on things. It actually forces you to think about the process and tracking more. But also, dismissing Go solely because if that doesnt do it justice. Same as any language.

(I work at Apcera) We didn't write our own HTTP server, but rather a framework that sits on top of it and makes it easier to use. The logging library is quite unlike anything else we're aware of, and the goals of it were language independen

(I work at Apcera) The "15 minutes" part was hyperbole. The timeframe referenced the length of the discussion of the two, not the knowledge the decision was based on. Several of us had previous experience with Node, and some of the team ha

"my fellow co-founder who just happens to have a lot more experience in the field of hacking and getting hacked" I see irony in the "getting hacked" part. But seriously, if he is more experienced, then why do they have machines unpatched l

Sometimes it just interesting to walk down the datacenter aisle and look at others wiring... can see some where nightmares live, and others which are quite sexy and interesting to study.

I love f.lux, I just wish it was adjustable for that exact reason. It is winter, it gets dark out early... I don't want it to shift to night time mode at 5pm. I find myself hitting "disable for an hour" 1-2 times a day before I leave work.

Anyone have a link to their website or anything? Talk about a horrible name for a startup, simply cannot even find it.

"large multinational hosting provider" - I'd never heard of them until this post. Going under isn't the only concern. A free service which most certainly costs them (bandwidth, power, rackspace, IPs). Even if they're small devices, they add

Guess it wasn't implied enough: not getting your stuff back. Sure, you pay to get it back, but they even mention "probably does not cover our costs" for some.

This sounds like a disaster waiting to happen... You send them your own Raspberry PI, at your expense, for many probably over seas/out of country. You pay them nothing for their service. They're Yet Another Hosting Company. Wait until you o

KVM is stronger isolation, its a hardware layer virtualization. You can (though the provider might not let you) run a custom kernel, etc. OpenVZ is more OS virtualization, there is less isolation between instances. OpenVZ usually has "guara

Are you asking for a list as a counter argument? A list of ones to look at? Or a list of companies that match my personal criteria? Rackspace, HP Cloud, VPS.NET, Gandi, RIMU, Slicehost (back in the day), Webbynode, Liquidweb, StormOnDemand

The VPS market is crap if want to look at the low end market. This comes from my own experience running my own small scale VPS host for a few years, with a purposely small customer base (mostly people I knew personally). Look at WHT and fol

I agree. In some regards it is "oversold", but I also think part of that is from a lot of the marketing efforts we've seen with newer databases like Mongo and even Riak. I am not saying those are bad, but with more established DBs like MySQ

RIP Vile Rat. I didn't know him, but as an Eve player I've felt the impact of his influences there. Didn't expect to see this on HN. Interesting the differences in comments between here and /r/eve.

You pay if you go over 2GB usage. If your apps only use a single instance and <64mb RAM, you could have 32 apps before paying.
