Furthermore, Russ Cox (author of Go’s regexp library and significant contributor to re2) mentioned this interesting tradeoff. > Second, Go is using a different algorithm for regexp matching than the C implementations in those other langu

Yeah, the language of the regex implementation and the API were the two biggest factors. Go’s regexp package only allowed you to run 1 regex expression at a time while hyperscan and re2 allowed you to pass in a set of expressions to run all

We started off using Go's regexp library for our regex needs, but it wasn't made for our unique use case of running 40+ regular expressions over terabytes of data. Here's our experience benchmarking Go's regexp against I

ohh interesting, I didn't know about schema.org -- that's pretty cool! No worries about making it a browser extension. I wasn't sure if you're trying to make this into a business or not. I would envision this working sim

Would you care to share how does this app work under the hood? I think the hacker news audience would be more interested to understand that then to use the app per se haha. Do you parse the page for a bulleted list next to certain keywords?

Agreed! This dilemma could be solved if college was much cheaper. Another commenter mentioned his annual tuition in Italy was about 2k euros which is unheard of here in the states... It's hard to have a negative ROI at that point.

Could you say that for all engineering graduates at the majority of universities (even the bottom 50%)? I know plenty of people who had internships and were effectively employed a year before graduating, but I can't say the majority of

I like the idea! Maybe it shouldn't be only college or nothing else but rather a mix of college + an industry specific bootcamp OR more co-op or shadowing programs that could bridge the gap. I think the solution might lie in teaching p
