If it behaves like RAM, from the POV of the OS, I'd imagine the advantage to be the large size. There's also the fact that it won't lose its data on power loss.

Of course, if it behaves like a regular SSD, the read speeds still exceed SATA3.0 speed.
I wonder if Amazon is worried.
awesome project. just wonder why any serious prototype has been release for the public?

Answer is there in FAQ. Written data is not lost on reboot, so basically you can mount it as a `ramdisk` partition and use that as data directory for your database. I have used this approach in past to speed up large test suite of a web application, except it required restoring from some sort of backup on reboot. Which won't be necessary in this case.

With all the cases were Go pushes you to use interface{} that's the case in Go a lot of the time too.

However, you can wrap an interface{} using container (for example), with type-specific input and output functions, getting back compile-time type-checking. Yes, it is not optimal, and yes, you're still paying the price for type assertions.

If it had Generics that would be another thing.

I would like to see a good solution for this that integrates well with the rest of the language.

> the highest ranked users will never form a ruling class or be in power

The highest ranking users have high social power. Their power is simply a tendency to steer the group without telling anyone what to do. Usually it's unintentional, and sometimes they have no idea they're doing.

Most forums are actually discrete social communities made up of ingroups, with their own cultural standards and hierarchies, and often a few custom heuristics. Some of them are really incredible from a behavioral standpoint, like an internet chat galapagos island. HN is not so special, but it does have a clearly defined social structure.

I agree with you that the stupid jokes, memes etc should stay off HN. That's why I think some kind of meta-voting is necessary: because a simple downvote is used for a lot of things right now, and not just "this-comment-is-out-of-bounds" like you're talking about. Barring meta-voting, removing the downvote keeps the troll talk but it still filters down to the bottom with the other useless comments.

I know your intent is good, but reading things like this make me less likely to donate to free software projects without strong management. You should take the intent of the donor into more consideration than what you think is fair use, even if your language is somewhat ambiguous.

Job Search Simplified: Employma Disrupts the Industry
I admire your insistence on treating people correctly. But humanly can still mean "restrained".

You're concerned about how a cop might feel emotionally restraining a person, but you completely ignore how they might feel physically being the subject of a violent assault by an in-custody suspect.

No person in custody reveals their intentions and being under arrest is stressful. Humans are in fact animals, and like any animal react unpredictably under stress.

I think it's important to look at somebody like Aaron holistically. Not too terribly long after the video was taken, he did in fact violently and tragically kill somebody.
The RAM slot helps for latency and throughput. SATA 3.0 would restricts this drive's read throughout from 880MB/s to less than 600MB/s, and would increase the write latency (5usec) by at least 1 or 2usec because of the typical CPU->southbridge->PCI express->SATA link it would go through, but here it is CPU->RAM slot. 1-2usec might sound negligible but it's not: it's 20-40% worse latency, so 20-40% fewer write IOPS.

SATA 3.2 (2000MB/s) would help for throughput but not for latency. It is also still quite uncommon even amongst latest generation servers, whereas this SSD is compatible with many current and older generation servers.
Traditional memory continues to become cheaper too. Flash is dimes a gigabyte, disk is cents a gig and videotape tenths of a cent per gigabyte. So supercomputers will always be maxing out each level of memory. And you will still need worry about memory hierarchies.

For ordinary computing, maybe a terabyte of flash will finally be enough.

Technically it acts like memory. The dev kit comes with a device driver that makes it look like a block device though, which would be analogous to something like NVMe.
It still costs 10x disk, even though both are fantastically cheap compared to decade ago.

Flash still has limited write cycles. Its for data you probably wont write more than once an hour, but not virtual memory.

Way to go. This is a great use of tech skills and Govt resources. Yet I find it ironic that because of gross social inequality in the United States, a "justice" system based upon and/or that perpetuates that inequality, and one of the lowest quality education systems (and most expensive higher education systems) we have a legion of talented hackers who could be helping in these endeavors but they are either hiding from the Govt. due to their hacktivist activities (which the good ones consider their civic duty), or in prison due to the same. The United States is full of brilliant, caring and forward-looking minds; we need more events like this, more programs and homes for these minds like this, and less corporation bailouts for the wealthy who would sooner shit on the poor as fund disaster response preparation activities to save them; less billions of dollars spent on election campaigns for candidates who care about as less for US citizens than do the rich (often because they are one and the same) and instead funnel these trillions of dollars into education, social equality and the uplifting of the American people. And then, guess what? You won't even need to hold Govt. hackathons (oh, the irony) because everyone will already be doing these things on their own.

Raphael is correct. We started the Demo Studio in response to Chrome Experiments.

Back then, Chrome Experiment authors were building experiments that only worked in Chrome. This led some to believe that Chrome was an especially powerful browser, when in reality many of the experiments could have worked in any modern browser if they had been written correctly.

We launched the Demo Studio to address that problem. We called for demos that showcased the power of the Web, not just the power of Firefox. We wanted to show the world that the modern Web, not Chrome, was the platform that made amazing things possible. Three years later I'm happy to say we accomplished our goal. The Demo Studio has more demos than Chrome Experiments and we don't hear people referring to the Chrome platform in particular as being revolutionary.

Those Directors/VPs/Founder were likely already pulling a decent salary (as execs in any industry do). They could likely afford an apartment in the city, so it should be a zero sum transaction for housing (12 houses might be purchased and 12 lower cost housing options - relatively - will come on the market).

Housing prices in SF will be unaffected by this. The issues are much more nuanced (and mostly regulatory). This trope of "Post-IPO tech people are ruining the housing market" isn't helping anyone, and might serve to confuse some people unfamiliar with the actual housing market issues in SF.

> The moment you try to use one of them that is actually an error (trying to pass it as an argument to another function without inspecting it first for example), it causes your current function to return an error.

I've seen another way to do it, that works with current Go, in a redis client [1]:

- Function 1 returns rawarg, error where rawarg can be anything

- You want to transform arg into some type, so you create a function that takes a rawarg and an error and returns your type and an error

- In the implementation of your 2nd function, if err != nil, return it directly

This way, as a library user you can just chain your calls without the tedious if err != nil (it will be taken care of in the library).

This might not scale to huge programs, but there certainly is a way to reuse this idea.

Very interesting but I wonder what the legal implications are.

Because Google.

In longer form, because Google is big and Go is well-enough-adapted for problems Google has (there may or may not be better solutions, and there may be some NIH factor going on in Google favoring it, but its at least good enough), and because the fact that Google is big and behind Go, that gets it lots of attention and interest and use even in places where it may not be as well suited as alternatives or what it is replacing.

>The benefit of using a DDR3 interface instead of SATA/SAS or PCIe is lower latency because the SSDs sit closer to the CPU. The memory interface has also been designed with parallelism in mind and can thus take greater advantage of multiple drives without sacrificing performance or latency. SanDisk claims write latency of less then five microseconds, which is lower than what even PCIe SSDs offer (e.g. Intel SSD DC P3700 is rated at 20µs).
