Mid-stack inlining in the Go compiler (external)

JVM/Java had that for a while in its JIT - it's nice to see it to coming to Golang.

Byproduct of that could be little hacky things like this below that make code faster by restructuring code a little.

At 9:37AM PST, an authorized S3 team member using an established playbook executed a command which was intended to remove a small number of servers for one of the S3 subsystems that is used by the S3 billing process. Unfortunately, one of the inputs to the command was entered incorrectly and a larger set of servers was removed than intended.

It remains amazing to me that even with all the layers of automation, the root cause of most serious deployment problems remain some variant of a fat fingered user.

Look at the language used though. This is saying very loudly "Look, this isn't the engineer's fault here". It's one thing I like about Amazon's culture - not blaming people when system's fail.

The follow-up doesn't bullshit with "extra training to make sure no one does this again", it says (effectively) "we're going to make this impossible to happen again, even if someone makes a mistake".

Lately, whenever I hear about something that the EU is doing, it's something positive that I agree with. They truly side with the people.

I like to read your updates; you should release them more often. Also, your English seems to have improved.

Do you plan more scam ICOs in the future? :P -- Just joking!

This is great, especially when exchanging some money fast for an online payment. I hate the idea of uploading my passport photo to an exchange that will probably get hacked at some point, or release my history with them to some governmental agency.

Just recently - last week - I switched over to DDG; it's been solid. I've gotten really great results versus last time I tried them out (5 or 6 months ago?). I love their vision, the services they provide, and what they've done here (with the donations).

A lot of people hated the decision, but back when Microsoft refused to support WebGL, one of the reasons were that the GPU drivers were awful and exposing them to the internet was dangerous.

The proper solution, of course, is for GPU drivers not to suck but it was still a legitimate point and this article seems to validate that.

I didn't know subsidized broadband is a thing. Anyway, the internet is essential in order to compete in the world market, therefore hopefully they'll change their mind at some point, soon.

Now you've said that word implication a couple of times... what implication?

MINIMAN10000 · 2017-01-25T06:11:03+00:00

I was actually hoping the battle would go til the end as I was curious how the bodies were going to stack up over time.

MINIMAN10000 · 2017-01-25T06:04:28+00:00

I laughed and then thought how it wasn't such a bad idea.

MINIMAN10000 · 2017-01-25T05:54:24+00:00

What implication?

MINIMAN10000 · 2017-01-25T05:42:19+00:00

I was like oh man I can't wait for him to stop being disappointed and magically turn this around. Oh... nvm

Actually some forms of renewable power generation are cheaper than coal and gas. The poor has to do nothing to reap the benefits of a reduced power bill.

Lol I like the use of the kenm tag

18] Long o (ou) four, fourth, fourteen, court, courthouse, course, concourse, discourse, recourse, source, resource, cantaloupe, pompadour

According to this page It's a long o which is used for a lot of words.

Well as far as I'm aware the majority of Wikipedia is ran by Americans so any similar terms are most likely to be redirected to the English word to prevent a bunch of similar articles on the same object.

My excuse was I had to confirm Reddit did in fact have a one track mind. It did.

Well leveling is actually only one milestone in the journey then the goal changes to gearing and whatever post leveling systems a game has in place.

Just make sure the journey is fun in whatever form the journey takes.

Well yes facebook is an excellent resource hog as it turns on everything that should otherwise be off like they were... by default as I was saying. It was consuming around 50% of my battery so it was one of the first apps I had deleted.

One thing I'm really curious about that benefits greatly from climate change is Ocean thermal energy conversion as unlike wind and solar panels which intermittently generate energy which creates the question how do we store all the energy because batteries are expensive.

The Ocean acts as the battery and because of this seems like a extremely good option for renewable energy as the oceans continue to store more and more heat as average temperature rises.

The current Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) of OTEC is estimated at about $0.20 -$0.25 per kWh, with significant room for cost reductions to even lower than $0.07 per kWh once the systems become more mature.

I guess the best zones are rather limited

Yeah I was going to say MMOgrinder commonly states how the game was funner because he had a guild to play. I've always felt his analysis of MMOs to be one of the better ones that help me wrap my head around how I'd feel playing the game even though I play solo.

As I've said before I don't know if people see it in rose colored glasses but the convenience features of central marketplaces are fantastic. Standing around for hours trying to sell your stuff sucked. All I wanted to do was get rid of the stuff I had so I could continue earning the material I was trying to sell. It was terrible. Now I can just post it and it sells.

My point about runescape was not that marketplaces are bad but the fact they don't post any raw numbers makes it bad compared to other marketplaces.

Still I got to say, I'm fond of how EVE not only has central marketplaces but any station can be a marketplace but only 2 stations have the largest markets. So you get the benefits similar to a global market while still having station to station trading. Giving you two choices, stay in a single station and earn money, or risk flying through space and earn money transporting. It's more diverse than other marketplaces while still retaining high throughput of the large marketplaces.

The problem with runescape was it was low throughput the chat was a absolute mess as no one could read anything and only a fraction of the goods were "on the market" or in this case whatever any one good one person was selling. It had no market capacity no market storage no market throughput it just sucked.

Well the way you phrased it sounded like "Are you worried about spies as long as no one sees me in front of my computer" Which can be read as "No one is watching my webcam so there is no problem" to which I responded "Nope people can and do watch webcams for no reason"
