Finally we can use it without many lines of / and &&


Tl;dr:
With all that out the way, we can use a heredoc, executing two commands in the same RUN!:

RUN <<EOF
echo "Hello" >> /hello
echo "World!" >> /hello
EOF

Discussion of 1BRC in Go https://github.com/gunnarmorling/1brc/discussions/67

Context: https://twitter.com/gunnarmorling posted a problem https://www.morling.dev/blog/one-billion-row-challenge/ the idea is pretty simple and from another side not so simple:

>write a Java program for retrieving temperature measurement values from a text file and calculating the min, mean, and max temperature per weather station. There’s just one caveat: the file has 1,000,000,000 rows!

Go’s CompareAndSwap is not always Compare-and-swap

>Go's standard package sync/atomics provides programmers with functions to use the underlying CPU-level atomic operations such as compare-and-swap (CAS), through atomic.CompareAndSwapT (where T is an integer type).

> Problem: Not all CPU architectures offers a CAS instruction to rely on to implement atomic.CompareAndSwapT. However, Go must compile that function code to something semantically equivalent—let's see what.

TIL: a % 128 = 0 is the same as a & 127 = 0

How do you track code coverage for OSS projects?

codecov seems very flaky, (will provide some details in thread)

Nice quote and summary:
>Technologies like JavaScript or Go are like a good burger: it’s an option that the majority understand and choose regularly. It may not be the most elegant option, but it does the job and allows us to focus on problems that matter.
