Try "Best served cold" by Joe Abercrombie. Followed by The Heroes. And to avoid minor spoilers, read the First Law trilogy first. All good books are great, The heroes is probably t…

A struct tag is just a string literal - according to the spec. The tags can only be accessed by reflect. The reflect api docs mention the convention. https://golang.org/pkg/reflect…

It is specified - a struct tag is just a string literal after a struct field. See https://golang.org/ref/spec#String_literals If you use backticks, the tag must not contain another…

Superfish is a root certificate installed by crapware in the preinstalled windows version. It can be uninstalled or removed by a fresh OS install. I guess someone replacing hardwar…

It's a non-classical example of arbitrage.

I use "var undef;" at the top of a function and never set it to a value. Comparison with === is the same as with undefined. And it's nice for minification.

And what about signal jamming or drones being shot down? Not only for package theft, also to strip or steal the drones themselves? I'm really curious how robust this delivery metho…

you have missed mkdir -p ~/.config/git

You should use switch v := i.(type) so you can access v as the type in a case.

MariaDB enabled Cassandra as a storage engine: https://mariadb.com/kb/en/mariadb/documentation/storage-engi...

My Java is getting rusty... I read about this sometime somewhere but forgot it, thanks! I should have picked something like "String getText()", then.

Because of the implicit thing! The api designer doesn't have to write the interface, you can do it yourself. As long as naming conventions are kept to and the signature matches, yo…

There's a great video treating imperial measurement units. I instantly fell in love with it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7x-RGfd0Yk I landed there after watching one on paper s…

I really doubt that, where does it say so? AFAIK, he supported the TweetNaCl in C. That does not mean anything concerning this port.

The costs: allocating the memory, having it set to zero values and keeping the garbage collector a little busier. All of that more than once if you don't keep the conversions down.…

I believe that's a good thing - I prefer a small api surface to a large one and I don't want to spend time digging through never ending functions to locate what I have to use. For …

It doesn't need to. You could also write type Runes []rune but the struct variant has the advantage that you can get the array back without any conversions - it's pretty cheap. And…

The setup needs a little boilerplate, but it's definitely possible. And it can support different sort orders after writing the boilerplate once. For those wanting to test drive it:…

I wrote a ruby script to help with OpenVPN. https://gist.github.com/arnehormann/9744964 There's a usage howto in the comments and this should be short enough to fully grasp what it…

Length could be encoded differently, as a varint. As long as the highest bit is set, the next byte is also part of the length - just left-shift the result so far by seven and add t…

TCP and UDP use the same underlying wire and the same hardware. If UDP would lose a packet or it would arrive late, the same could happen to TCP. TCP will retransmit and you lose a…

And how about Codemirror? It's mainly used for monospace code editing and it's missing a UI and editing widgets, but the configurability and maturity should blow everything else ou…

Right now they say replace all occurrences of "upstart" with "Mir" and all occurrences of "systemd" with "Wayland". I can't see how that would work.

They will continue to provide it. Part of what he wrote: > We’ll certainly complete work to make the new logind work without systemd as pid 1.
