unlivingthing··on When your data doesn’t fit in memory: the basic techniques
I think you've got confused with O(n) time; that is the amount of memory that is needed and not the time required to access a particular line.

unlivingthing··on Ask HN: If you created a language, what aspects of other ones would it have?
A higher layer to the primitives. While still providing options to the lower layers.

For example, having multiple layers to the concurrency primitives. Something like goroutines but allowing the programmer to create native threads.

Also, I like how golang has these neat functions to connect to services as opposed to the way most other languages (like c/python/etc.) do them by creating sockets. Perhaps this would be something that would be part of the standard library and not the language?

This is all coming from an average developer with no experience in creating a language.

unlivingthing··on Ask HN: What books changed the way you think about almost everything?
One book that changed my perception about things is "Commentaries on Living by J. Krishnamurti". I used to have pretty rigid belief about things and ways of living. This book really helped me identify and break down the walls I had built for myself that prevented me from growing.
