Re:How Swiss tables work in Go built-in map on Sunday September 06, 2026 @03:31PM (#49589956)
Yes, Ruby also has the same self-imposed constraint on insertion order. I agree it makes it more complicated to change the hash table implementation but it seems it wouldn’t be impossible to adapt Swiss Tables to support this. For example, by storing the “insertion number” (an incrementing integer) in each bucket, and possibly using table groups (as Go does) so that you only need to sort the buckets in a group, not the whole table, in order to yield entries in order. But this is just a naive sketch and I am not an expert on hash tables!
Re:How Swiss tables work in Go built-in map on Sunday September 06, 2026 @04:18AM (#49584387)
The Rust std lib HashMap is powered by the hashbrown crate which is also a port of Swiss Tables. At a brief glance Ruby/Python don’t use this approach but I don’t see any reason why they couldn’t.

GoCardless (YC S11) | London | DevOps, Data, Backend and Frontend Engineers | Onsite | Full-time | Visa

GoCardless is building a payments network for the internet. Since 2011 we've been focused on simplifying Direct Debit for small and medium companies (who previously had no access to it) and we're now expanding to serve the largest companies (think newspapers, utilities) and connect with existing payment systems in countries all over the world. We already support the UK and Europe and are aiming to expand to more countries over the next year.

As an engineering team at GoCardless we care most about stable, reliable, understandable code. We rely on testing and code review and a culture of frequent constructive feedback. We define and manage our own roadmap and run projects in whatever way works best for us.

Our stack: Rails, Angular, Postgres, Elasticsearch, Docker, Chef. We also have a bit of Go and Python knocking around.

We love learning new things and contributing back to the community. We open source everything we can[1] and regularly host meetups and hackathons at our wheelchair-accessable office in Angel. We have a weekly bookclub within the team and give internal (and external) talks about things that interest us.

Interview process: an intro call, one coding challenge, then a couple of onsite interviews (pair programming and some chats - no whiteboards!)

For more info and to apply: https://gocardless.com/jobs. If you've got any questions, drop me an email (it's in my profile).

In this case the strike was actually carried out by attack helicopters, not the drone. The main point of the article is to highlight the poor communication between the various different groups involved in the operation and the overall ignorance of everyone involved, despite many hours of surveillance by the drone.

As I understood it, this was more in response to academics' frustration that he did not properly define operators he went on to use in his derivations. I can sympathise with this - mathematical proofs are difficult enough to follow without having to guess the action of the operators involved.
