I've never been a Go evangelist. For years, the appeal and praise lavished upon Go flummoxed me. Until I decided to use Go for my latest product. Then it made sense. For most purposes Go is "good enough." And it's good e

I'm doing the same thing in the post-secondary market. In fact, feel free to drop me a line (email in profile); I'd love to hear about what you're working on. The answer to your question depends upon a few things. I think the

Hoboken is an awesome little city! I spent about 1.5 years there, commuting to SoHo on the PATH, and absolutely loved it. Everyone that visited me fell in love with it as well. I'd move back in a heartbeat. Every morning I'd take

I agree, it's an interesting point. "Black" culture isn't nearly as uniform as some people would like to believe. As a mixed African-American raised around multiple different ethnicities, my brother and I have had many h

This type of simple I/O bound pass-through problem lends itself extremely well to evented I/O. Conceptually, their first solution was closest to mimicking the benefits of evented I/O, given how Go's runtime works. When a

Hiring, training, and managing an internal sales team is very capital-intensive, especially in NYC. My guess (based upon the article) is that a large portion of the funds will go towards building their sales team. It seems as though they&#x

Go is an interesting language. I get it. But there is nothing unique to Go about their use of interfaces in Sphinx. This presentation is about the usefulness of interfaces . Something that can be done in almost every modern programming lan

To allow the function definition to serve as the single source of truth. That would be my guess. They simply don't want to have to update the parameter name at N places, if a parameter were to be renamed.

Minor nitpick: concurrency is not parallelism. 16 workers does equal 16 concurrent users.

You and I may believe that a college degree is not the best indicator of knowledge, but industry at large (both inside and outside of technology) does not. Furthermore, proving a lifetime of learning and knowledge in the span of at most 8 h

MOOCs are merely a stepping stone along a much broader movement. They were based upon a fundamental misunderstanding of how degree-granting institutions work. For most people, knowledge gained during the pursuit of a college degree is secon

My exact thoughts as I read through this post-mortem. I don't see this, nor do I see any service of this type, as something I would use everyday. However, I can imagine a scenario when my parents or friends come into town and I want to

You'll want to issue requests concurrently, use timeouts liberally, and implement fallbacks to cached/calculated data in the event that one of the services fails or misbehaves. Those are just a few guiding principles that will hel

I like the curation of free educational content in a specific area because it eliminates the guesswork, and duplicated effort, of filtering for high-quality resources. Thanks to Claudia Gold for the amazing amount of work she put into this.

For the past few months I've been studying Lisp, reading SICP, and just trying to become more familiar with the concepts. Like many people, I was put off by Lisp's seemingly arcane syntax, which now feels beautiful to me. I can&#

I couldn't agree with you more. Whenever someone says, "Well you did it without a degree, why can't I?" I never discourage them, I simply stress the difficulty of their decision. Instead of credentialing with a degree, d
