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…

They even come stock from the manufacturer on many like the Porsche 911.

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 decide…

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 …

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 pas…

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 issu…

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…

(I work at Apcera) Soon™

(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 …

(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…

"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 m…

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 …

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…

Aaron Sorkin is jotting down ideas. Watch for something in theaters in 2014.

I work with Derek at Apcera. The send buffer in the test is 16kb.

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, pow…

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 se…

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…

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, Slice…

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…

I think the style is different. I blame the brogrammers.
