Very disappointed indeed. Keybase is one of the ones I actually used.

I use gopkg.in. Personally I would like to see the community avoid adding more to the 'go' tool. It is already doing too much. I think the solution provided by gopkg.in is better t…

This is indeed huge. I left Korea right after Park Jung-hee was assassinated by one of his officers. Predictably, this was followed by a military coup and martial law. Park Jung-he…

It is complex and interesting. I am a novice database user. But I do know many databases use 'gettimeofday' quite a lot. Just strace any SELECT query. Most databases I have used, i…

Even without migration, the synchronization can be an issue. In older multi-core machines, tsc synchronization was an issue among cores. Modern systems take care of this. And core …

This sounds useful and revived my interest in GAE. The Go example has health check code. It makes sense. Are there equivalent offerings from AWS and Azure? This looks likes a uniqu…

The "structured bindings" feature seems potentially dangerous. I guess it helps unpacking tuples and getting references to tuple members. But it seems to have opened up a whole new…

Korean language has built-in social framework for respecting the elders. Different words used when speaking to someone older vs. younger. The language enforces filial piety. When I…

This is truly serverless computing at work.

Michelson-Morley experiment failed to substantiate the existence of ether. That was 1887. Much after that, in 1905, Einstein's special theory of relativity stated you don't need et…

This is wonderful. The "Mutable" vs. "Immutable" tables are clear. I have been telling myself to think this way -- there are no immutable or mutable versions. Everything changes, o…

I'm guessing you are right. The usual problems with /mnt/c. I was wondering about rootfs being per user as well. On a server that may be a problem, but perhaps not on a laptop. It …

How do they handle various NTFS related issues? https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-specialnames.html

Is there a program that rates other programs in terms of Flesch Kincaid score or the equivalent? Old Man and the Sea F-K score is 4. Code isn't much different than other writings. …

First McAfee http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/19/john-mcafee-belize_... . Now Le Roux. What is up with the security software guys? Are they destined to be evil geniuses?

I may be naive but why not do away with npm and do what Go does. Import from github or http. Or what common lisp, roswell, ufo does https://github.com/ta2gch/UFO/blob/master/README…

Hahaha. Got down vote for this joke. Irony is thick.

Yahoo Core Business valuation is at this point low enough that any one of the Unicorns, e.g. Uber, Airbnb,... could easily afford it. Tumblr could have raised more money to become …

These points are valid but miss the point of Go. To judge Go, as any language or tool, one must program in it for a while -- say a year or two -- and build substantial programs tha…

Thought nethack went rogue but apparently not.

Worse are Mr. Noodle and his brother.
