Why do the standard paternity tests not notice when someone is effectively the child's uncle? The genes must match to a far greater extent than an "unrelated" person. Is that information lost between the actual test and the &

You've been misinformed. The 2009 version of Effective Go stated, as it does now: "This approach can be taken too far. Reference counts may be best done by putting a mutex around an integer variable, for instance." https:&#x

Typically if you wish to limit the number of goroutines you would spawn N workers and have them read from a single channel. If 20k of your incoming connections want to do something they send on the channel, without spawning a goroutine them

A few quick code comments: Now().UnixNano() is not guaranteed to be monotonically increasing. I'd be more careful if your keys really do need to be unique. You can use time.Truncate to get the 10 minute interval. var t time.Time

If instance can truly be initialized like that, then there's no need for the init() function, just do it at the top level: var instance = &singleton{} In fact, a lot of idiomatic Go will ignore the Get() method, exporting the insta

I've yet to see an existence proof that a machine can do that So you'll consider it impossible up to the point when such a machine exists?

Algorithms that can write heartfelt posts like yours will be developed one day. This is literally the point of Turing's thought experiment: if a machine gives you answers indistinguishable from a human, is it alive?

Bill wanted to talk about his charity work. Comparing it to the commercial enterprises of his company's (largest?) competitor was probably not how he wanted the interview to go. Why should the two things be compared at all?

I would like to contrast the underlying philosophy here to that of Go. As you may be aware, there is limited support for versioning APIs using "go get" (Go's nearest equivalent of this). The developers of Go argue that the ma

Do you mean that you're worried that calling a method on DummyJob will accidentally run some code you don't expect? If you don't initialize the embedded interface, non-overridden methods called on the struct will panic. http

"OK Google, how do I get to X?" "It takes 22 minutes to get to X, here are your directions." I guess that's an unfair comparison. Fair enough about actually using the app though.
