Have mozilla considered Tracy Island?

PCI compliance i think, also merchants wouldn't touch you with a barge pole if you don't have dedicated hardware... so no aws/gce.

Did you guys use a custom allocator for rust? And if so how did it differ from jemalloc and how could it be compared to C++ allocators like tbb::scalable_allocator?

I did try ITerm2 out for a long time but I found it dramatically reduced the battery life of (newish) macbook, I'd get perhaps 2 hours less per charge, as a result i've switched back to Terminal and using MouseTerm for scrolling in vim.

Have you looked into ITerms' performance in comparison to Terminal?

I'm not going to bother reading what Wired have written, i'll just assume it's nonsense if the HN comments concur.

check out MS Orleans, it's similar to Erlang. https://github.com/dotnet/orleans

yes and no, while the previous GC pauses wouldn't have really affected anything the size of a hobby game, the improvements are welcome. The bigger problem with Go regarding game development is operator overloading and interfacing with C, the latter being a pain when it comes to memory management.

Ein wunderschönes Name!

That's nice but costs $$. <now here comes the bit where i talk about MY solution...>

I have a markdown file in a private git repo for each month, I append a new header with the date at the start of each day and use it as a notepad, dumping whatever comes to mind. Most importantly I don't go back and revise what I've written.

quit, get a job working in a newer more modern language or just a company working on 'green field' projects. I worked on legacy code bases for ~3 years as a junior grunt and it contributed to some kind of PTSD-lite disorder.

or read the 'ol refactoring book...

The germans love for silence can be evidenced in the reviews for earplugs/protectors:

no very much serving russian military personnel. get your information right.

There's good on book on MH17 that was published a while ago: http://www.amazon.co.uk/MH17-story-shooting-Malaysian-airlin...

It came to a similar conclusion as the dutch report, the main issue with the dutch report is it's too little to late and the government had repeatedly delayed publishing it while they searched for a way to indirectly accuse Russia. The dutch report is quite weak in that it won't take the next logical step given the evidence available and accuse Russia of ordering the downing of MH17.

I was there the other week, i think things are finally on a roll. One building is almost finished and currently inhabited, another is being weather sealed which just leaves the other half dozen.

Spiffy | Berlin / Europe | Senior Go / Golang Developer(s) | madebyspiffy.com/jobs | REMOTE | PART-TIME

We're small startup building a whiteboxed dispatch system to sell initially to taxi firms, we are a distributed company and work 100% remotely, 95% of costs are wages, we have no VC funding and pay our own way via revenue. We offer a paid trial month. As for the product we've found "market-fit" and we're now iterating towards a robust scalable finish.

As a developer at spiffy you only work 20 hours a week, all we require is that you're around in the afternoon, there's no hierarchy & no management, we work in small vertical teams and you're expected to decide, design, implement, maintain & support. The wage (for everyone) is €3000 per month + VAT for now but you're employed as a consultant (less tax) and can take on other projects at the same time, not enough to live in London or Zurich but enough to live somewhere with a nice beach or even in Berlin (like me).

As for tooling, we use github, jenkins & slack and we're always constantly improving. There are no skype calls, no meetings of any kind, no standups, no performance reviews, just open and honest communication.

We are only looking for senior developers (3+ years) at this moment who can be around in the afternoons Central European Time

I personally would like to work with someone who employs TDD pragmatically and writes clean maintainable code. Who is widely read, possessing a depth of experience and able to bring ideas to the table. Experience building, operating & testing distributed systems would be a massive plus.

At the moment we've developed a microservice architecture on app engine and we'll be moving to containers in the near future. We don't expect you to have three years of Go experience but you need have something in Go/Golang to show us.

Just write a short cover letter detailing your past projects and what you'll bring but don't forget to indicate that you've read into what the company is about. Multi stage interviews are too resource consuming so if we like your application and you come across well in the interview then we'll invite you for a paid trial month.

Wow, that's totally opposite to my exp.

I was in Krakow for unsound festival and i needed a place to stay super late minute, all that was left was this one plausible place south of the river, looked nice, okay reviews but in hindsight there were some mentions about about privacy etc. when i turned up late at night the room was not a private room but a couch in the kitchen and the actual tenant of this one bed flat was completely not cool with his landlord renting out the couch like this. so after one awkward night in krakow i rang up AirBnB, they refunded me the whole amount and gave me €50 credit.

My scenario was common i expect so it was very one-to-one with the rep, you must have gone from pillar to post.

Airbnb use Adyen for their payment processing which is a pile of shit when it comes to dev support imho.

I joined AirBnB as a host when it transitioned from being an A to B crowd thing into a general mass public service with all the warts and inconsistencies with hosts and guests that brings.

There has to be some magic filter introduced (other than good judgment) to clean out the desperate or greedy hosts monetising their sub standard assets & another to filter the rude or plain vandal guests.

On the plus side, if you complain to AirBnB you're treated like a prince!

I've heard from people that work in government that the tools they use are allowed to use are restricted by overly complex procurement rules. The result is that non-technical teams are forced to use ancient software as anything else (even if it's opensource) isn't kosher. How could this be reformed?

This is wonderful! I'm really interested in the distributed element of it. I understand riak core uses epidemic broadcast trees to provide consistency, but do you have a good example in how this would influence a microservice architecture?

I can't admit i read reddit publicly without fear of being associated with misogynistic trolls that excuse rape. it's like saying you're on 4chan or worse.

The thing about Go is that there isn't all that much to talk about, any mention of it induces a "channels are awesome" comment or a "there's no generics :'(" conversational nadir.

I think eventually it'll be complete, with only the occasional maintenance patch.

My main advice to anyone considering writing a microservice based architecture from scratch is to keep a really tight handle on code duplication and testing. Also take a deep look into Erlang, it's written with these types of systems in mind.

no safari no play... i bet they're fun to party with.

What would be really useful is if you could compare API behaviour between different graphics cards and driver versions.

So if interviewing is about finding the good hires, what's a bad hire?

Golang is small enough to learn easily and it's geared towards usability. But also try c# and visual studio there's the xna framework for writing games and the debugger is the best.

Mate isn't just a hacker thing it's more from the clubbing scene and doesn't derive from yerba mate whatsoever. mate and all the other copy cats are just part of a wider german taste for dry soft drinks.

When clubbing the low sugar content 20Cal/100ml means it doesn't give you cotton mouth when you're on speed or MDMA.

It's so engrained into berlin clubbing culture you perform this ritual when you order a "vodka mate" or a "whisky mate" from a bar: they hand you the 500ml bottle (the 330ml is lame) then you take a big swig and hand it back, the bartender then free pours the spirit in topping it up, charging you depending how much you swigged and if you've tipped before.

Fun fact! club mate is made in south germany so it's technically schwabisch and Schwabians are eternally made scapegoats for berlins gentrification... and so makes it all the more ironic when it's exclaimed "it's so berlin!"
