My 2 cents is that Kubernetes introduced a very powerful lifecycle for operating workloads that has enabled the automation of a wide variety of tasks. But the abstractions are stil…

Oh, very cool. Will definitely check out guru. Thanks for the tip.

Not really. In a language like Java, some of the questions I'd have to ask myself are: - Should I try to catch the exception, or just let it bubble up and edit my interface to incl…

I've been using the Gogland beta for the last few weeks and it's been quite stable. For large codebases, it's hard to beat a good IDE's ability to quickly jump between symbols (go …

100% agree re: readability (as I've mentioned elsewhere). I've actually been very surprised at the near-ubiquity of Go in the modern infrastructure/tools space though. Seems like e…

I'm with you. IMHO, Go's simplicity is its biggest virtue. It has fostered a community that values consistency and clarity over syntactic sugar. And, as a result, I find each new c…

Heh, it does feel repetitive. But after ~10 years with Java, I'm happy to avoid the cognitive load from deciding how to most politely generate/propagate an exception. Obviously, th…

Do you have an example of the community celebrating mediocrity? My impression is of a community willing to go without some features, in order to preserve those it values. Namely si…

FWIW, I'd be quite interested in paying, but I'm hesitant to provide my credit card to a website with no track-record just to evaluate their product. I'd happily provide my paypal …

"if you want to be popular you just need to put out more content instead of trying to improve the quality." Not quite. What he said was: to be popular, improve quality until it sto…

Agreed. Another possibility would be a hybrid approach with delivery trucks acting as mobile distribution centers. Trucks could be loaded with drones and packages, park in rural ar…

What do you think of a service like http://keycafe.com/ ? Rather than picking up your package from a lockbox, the delivery person would grab your keys from what's essentially a loc…

I've been running Ubuntu on a Dell Inspiron for over a year with no trouble. Given recent events, I would say Dell is a pretty safe choice for Linux users. Definitely go for the nV…
