While Apple does make nice hardware and appear to be listening to their users in that respect, don't forget that Tahoe has not been particularly well-received.

While I agree with your sentiment, the actual quote is subtly different, which changes the meaning: "Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupide…

That was my first thought too! but then realised Allan Border has a double L, while the app's name is "Alan"

Nothing is in its "final form" today. I'm a long time SWE and in the last week, I've made and shipped production changes across around 6 different repos/monorepos, ranging from Pyt…

I see what you did there

There appears to be a link to an RFC1918 address on that page: http://192.168.4.56:5001

I've been using McFly [1] recently, and like it a lot. > McFly replaces your default ctrl-r shell history search with an intelligent search engine that takes into account your work…

As was also pointed out in the TFA, while you may not be "marking people down" because of unfamiliarity with syntax, an interviewee who has more experience with the language (and i…

I agree, nice and thick, with lots of butter! Don't listen to the advice in the article :-) > The trick is not to spread it thickly like peanut butter; instead, you take about a qu…

What a gem! And a few more from the HTML source: As well as a style tag missing a closing '>' on the page template:

Practical Extraction and Reporting Language

Sure, I understand that from the POV of making your code explicit. Personally I have always tended towards, for example: var x string when initializing empty (zero-value) vars, ver…

The author used: sum := float32(0) Over Go's zero-value default initialization e.g. var sum float32 A nit stylistically but wondering if there was a good reason to do so?

I feel the same way. My commits on a PR are always rebased as I go, into one or two or at most three neat changes. Meanwhile (some) others I work with seem to have no problem creat…

I’m bemused by these sorts of disparaging comments that come from people who seem to have no real world experience running Go applications at scale. It’s entirely possible to run a…

A huge time-saver for me when adding table-driven test boilerplate in Go has been using gotests[0] to generate the template. If you use VSCode with the Go extension it's already av…

Chips. Although very occasionally you will hear crisps. Often "hot chips" (french fries), as distinct from a "packet of chips" (crisps), but it's contextual: e.g. a Schnitzel with …
