Who knew chaos sounds so melodious. You sir are a genius.

I code a lot in Go. I use Sublime Text mostly and this feels like an upgrade. Integration with Git, better plugins/support I am loving it.

What I got from the thread: efivars are NVRAM registers for UEFI and are mounted on /sys/firmware/efi/efivars and doing rm -rf clears/deletes them. And they are required for bootin…

My take on the points mentioned: 1. Goroutine memory use - Post happens to be about 1.2 and 1.4 and I started with 1.5. 2. Debugging - yes handling errors are a bit tedious. I have…

Why Google ? Why leave India ? I want to buy chromecast but not the old one.
