Don’t know why, but this was an approachable intro to FP for me, just the right level of detail for me to grok why.

native english speaker here, I still cannot connect it either.

I wasn’t expecting the app to be that good! Great recommendation

This might be a good fit for roaring bitmaps [1] or Minimal Perfect Hashing

Pressure treated wood is kinda like that (it uses something other than tar).

I’ve used lulu.com for this in the past for small one-off print jobs (I think it was 5$ for something around 80 pages)

Agreed, when you start to need these kind of optimizations, go might not be the best choice

I think you could do the pointerless version (the one using an int32 index) of this in go via unsafe casting.

I’ll try it out later

I’ve used lulu.com in the past

we had to make release branches SOX-compliant, adhering to additional rules and constraints.

Does anyone have an example of what is required to make a branch SOX-compliant?

It is probably closer to something like avro, but with more features and less java focus.

Kafka works best when the data it is returning to consumers is in the page cache.

When consumers fall behind, they start to request data that might not be in the page cache, causing things to slow down.

H2 has a disk persistence mode.

Though I’d probably use SQLite for this use case

Read the paper/notes from the schedule and you’ll learn a ton (took this course as an undergrad)

Maybe airtable.com?

Not sure if you are ok with a hosted solution

Do you like the reMarkable tablet?

I currently have an iPad Pro but I really don’t like reading PDFs on it. I’d love to stop printing out papers and an eink display would be nice.

EDIT: just read your review linked in the post

NVMe is the spec for controllers supporting NVM.

Think PCI vs PCIe https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/NVM_Express

I don’t think this would be possible even with a fair coin.

Time to install is much faster, bundle install is just so damn slow.

And now that I'm not a ruby dev any more, I don't install a modern ruby on my computer.

I do the same thing. Small projects start with the job queue in postgres.

As things eventually scale up, I move the queue to its own dedicated postgres node.

Once that starts to be too slow, I finally move to redis/kafka. 99% of things never make it to this stage.

I think hours per week "in the zone" is a nice proxy for measuring how happy I am in a job

I'd be really interested in this for non-tech books as well. I'd love to have a fast way to find new fantasy books.

Try the history of the English language after that. It's similar and equally good.

I assume they are talking about things like the truetime clocks used in spanner, which are not available on commodity hardware

I'd hope they have some sort of rate limiting built in

Maybe more like --force-with-lease

I enjoyed that snippet, what is it from?

1. [Damian Gryski](https://github.com/dgryski) - implements a bunch of modern academic papers (mostly in go). Also his twitter has a bunch more stuff.

2. [Daniel Lemire](http://lemire.me/en/) - comp sci professor who frequently blogs about interesting db/indexing topics

I bet sorting the letters by frequency in the English alphabet would make it faster.

You should listen to the http://historyofenglishpodcast.com/.

He goes into great detail about how the Proto-Germanic languages evolved via sound changes (e.g. Grimm's law).
