It is here in HN that I first heard Pablo Neruda's "No culpes a nadie". Even though a fan of Neruda I somehow had missed this. Perhaps this speaks to you something too: ## Don't Bl…

I wish I could give you a thumbs up for speaking plain truth here. Anyway programmers will find out for themselves how best to satisfy their customer need.

In addition to your list here, I am drawn by ES6 on the backend. This is not javascript of the early days. On Differentiable Programming, you might be aware of a tensorflow counter…

Nim is a languge that has good performance and I had good experience porting an enterprise Python application to Nim (for performance gain). For a new user the risk obviously is th…

OP likes Swift and he compared it to other languages Python, Go, C++ & Rust, Julia. In the enterprise sphere that I am in, I haven't seen Swift and its hard to move a team in this …

Written form please. This saves time in many ways, such as searching for certain chunks of information when trying to form an early opinion on how this product fits one's need. I w…

Isn't it Go?

I don't miss generics either, not in the least. The interface system, Go's particular approach to it, takes me a long way ... I won't ask for any new feature for today or tomorrow.…

Favourties: > Worked on most of the Go standard library. Primary author of net/http, database/sql, os/exec, Go's build/test CI system, etc. Thank you. Software poetry they are to m…

I am an average Go programmer, so I may not be deep into Go as you might be. However the mention of GOPATH catches my eye. All my issues with GOPATH went away for me when I started…

> At least those who do, want to learn because they can build cool things they can show off to friends. I have no doubt about what you say. I had a really broken laptop that my 3rd…

> started a project of deploying kubernetes cluster at home and hosting I am also thinking along these lines but not sure about reasonable paths to try. Care to share some pointers…

Similar to books, growing up in India I discovered “Western” music because of pirated music. The one and only reason I heard of bands like Yes, Jethro Tul, Roxy Music, Steely Dan, …

Link to a slide set in this distribution -- the overall approach. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1cF7qFtjAzkXL_r62CjxB... A beautiful piece of work. What else to say.

A piece of jewel. Reminds me of chalk board talks of Gilbert Strang and Robert Gallager (also on youtube, mit video lectures) that celebrates this gift for teaching us something.

Consider that fact that prime-minister of Singapore knows Haskell by now http://wadler.blogspot.com/2015/04/prime-minister-of-singapo... He is already quite good with C++ https://a…

Hope we find a way to vote some of them out fast. Some months before the last big bail out legislations, in my state we had a US Senate candidate who was new in our political scene…

Politicians are not at all stupid in general. The problem we have is in their selective listening after we elect them. If a legislator is not technically up to speed, considerable …

more than that, I'd say. The young auto-rikshaw man on my way to the bus station from those gates was telling me about his kidney disease and how those sisters helped raise the sub…

Recently I was in India and certain circumstances connected me with a facility for the elderly run by an order of Catholic Nuns. I visited them quite a few times and while inside t…

I heartily wish that you continue learning Rust, another significant contribution to open source languages. What has been already commented, things such as borrow/checker are humps…

When I started an enterprise data project with a small team where Python was the familar workhorse we stopped for moment initially to think of ways to improve performance. Cython w…

This Labor day weekend I took my old Nikon D600 DSLR on a visit to a State Forest nearby. Usually I go with no camera, I like to have my hands free to look around while my family t…
