AFAIK the early go versions of docker used LXC underneath, but that was ~3+ years ago

Last part of your comment reminds me of the birth & death of javascript [0]

That is a quote from the CL, not the hardware of the person you replied to. That being said, I'm pretty interested to see how this would perform on other systems, specifically production servers.

Yeah I wasn't getting coordinates till I turned off ublock

Backpack features even numbers along with 0 in positions they show up on a keypad. Interesting writing on the floss, deodorant, hair dye, perfume, and id bracelet as well

"We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil. Yet we should not pass up our opportunities in that critical 3%"

I'd say picking a platform is not, as it is definitely a critical part of your program, especially if it does not greatly increase the complexity of your code.

It's still safer and cheaper than a DUI* or worse. For many people, as long as it is convenient, those benefits are enough

The idea is that it makes software engineering across an organization much simpler if your language is minimal and eschews magic or complex constructs

Go's concurrency model is based on CSP [0] and the previous languages Rob Pike worked on that were also heavily influenced by CSP.

I would suggest https://raft.github.io/

That has a nice, interactive visualization along with links to the paper itself, implementations, and talks about raft.

As I have my daytime f.lux setting at 5500k, I don't plan to change over. I prefer to have the blue light reduced slightly all the time

For Go, people use either the standard library or third-party routers, etc. glued together

That being said, buffalo is getting pretty popular. http://gobuffalo.io/docs/getting-started

runc is lower level. Docker uses runc under the hood to run each individual container, and rkt is somewhere in the middle as far as features go

Here's a blog post from Rob Pike about the design philosophies inherent in Go, and how that affected adoption from C/C++ developers vs. Python, Ruby, etc.

I haven't used Elm yet, but if you like it, check out the language it is implemented in, Haskell

A lot of it boils down to making it easier for developers to work with each other, rather than any technological benefit.

The less magic that happens and the more code that is commonly used by all developers, the easier it is for others to read your code and understand what it does. Rob Pike and others have some interesting talks and blog posts on this

AFAIK (although I could be wrong about this) the typical 'five' languages used at Google are not specifically for servers. I have heard they are Javascript, Java, Python, Go, and C++

I am not an expert in this, but I would say they are domain-specific. Time series databases I hear about are Prometheus[0] and InfluxDB's offerings[1], both meant specifically for monitoring something over time, hence the name.

I post this pretty often when the conversation of design choices behind Go comes up. [0] There is definitely a heavy C and Plan 9 influence on it.

I prefer medium to high contrast. If it gets too low, it gets hard to read.

Rob Pike has a great blog post that talks about the creation of Go and expected adoption vs where many of them ended up migrating from

Go is verbose. There is a lot of thought behind that, but that is an intentional design aspect of the language. Personally I would not use gin, either net/http, gorilla/mux, or httprouter are solid choices
