• carto – How to use weighted heatmap in CartoDB? – Geographic Information Systems Stack Exchange
  As @oriolbx suggested in the comments it is possible through the torque-aggregation-function. You can change the standard heatmap CartoCSS like this:

  /** torque_heat visualization */

  Map {
  -torque-frame-count:1;
  -torque-animation-duration:10;
  -torque-time-attribute:"cartodb_id";
  -torque-aggregation-function:"round(avg(weight))";
  -torque-resolution:2;
  -torque-data-aggregation:linear;
  }

  #your-dataset{
  image-filters: colorize-alpha(blue, cyan, lightgreen, yellow , orange, red);
  marker-file: url(http://s3.amazonaws.com/com.cartodb.assets.static/alphamarker.png);
  [value < 1] {marker-fill-opacity: 0.05;}
  [value < 10] {marker-fill-opacity: 0.1;}
  [value < 100] {marker-fill-opacity: 0.2;}
  [value < 1000] {marker-fill-opacity: 0.4;}
  [value < 10000] {marker-fill-opacity: 0.6;}
  [value < 100000] {marker-fill-opacity: 0.8;}
  [value >= 100000] {marker-fill-opacity: 1.0;}
  marker-width: 7;
  }
  The only differences are the -torque-aggregation-function, for which I used my weight column, and the marker-fill-opacity, that has to be modified to take into account the output value of the torque aggregation function, stored in the value variable.

  Timing functions in golang

  When it comes to timing function calls, there is this neat little trick adapted from Stathat:

  func timeTrack(start time.Time, name string) {
  elapsed := time.Since(start)
  log.Printf("%s took %s", name, elapsed)
  }
  which can be placed near the top of your code, and then used to time any function like this:

  func factorial(n *big.Int) (result *big.Int) {
  defer timeTrack(time.Now(), "factorial")
  // … do some things, maybe even return under some condition
  return n
  }
