...um - designed to detect the most common errors in the data and often to be fast to compute (for effective checksumming fast streams of data). In practice, the same functions are often good for both purposes. In particular, a cryptographically strong hash code is a good checksum (it is almost impos...

...you. Key-Value Stores Examples: Redis, Cassandra, MemcacheDB Strengths: Fast lookup of values by known keys They are very simplistic, but that makes them fast and easy to use. When you have no need for stored procedures, constraints, triggers and all those advanced database features and you just...

...y origin/master --ff-only applies the remote changes only if they can be fast-forwarded. From the man: Refuse to merge and exit with a non-zero status unless the current HEAD is already up-to-date or the merge can be resolved as a fast-forward Since your local and remote branches have diverg...

...ly contain something iterable, I'd use the try/except approach. It will be faster if exceptions really are exceptional. If result is None more than 50 % of the time, then using if is probably better. To support this with a few measurements: >>> import timeit >>> timeit.timeit(set...

...le's developers use VERY high-end machines for development. Their CPUs are fast; networks are fast. The downloads would just take a split of second for them, so they don't care about the progress bar. See how much RAM Google Chrome is taking. (BTW, the download already taking more than half an hour ...

... Wow! Very fast to download and to run. The line I used is m:\contig -n M:\SpaceBuffer.tmp 5368709120 – Leigh Riffel Jun 11 '09 at 19:52 ...

...en or gradle, obviously) Is the code accessible in an easy way including a fast overview on commits to judge the activity? (code hosted on github is a definite plus for me, in that matter) Release management: are there releases/release tags and artifacts for it? (there are some that are hosted on gi...

...bers to test, you should probably run a probabilistic test since those are faster, and then follow it up with a deterministic test to make sure the number is prime. You should know that the math behind the fastest algorithms is not for the faint of heart. ...
