It may be easy, but it's not that easy. values := []string{"a", "b", "c"} for _, v := range values { go func(){fmt.Println(v);}() } Does have a race condition. values := []string{"a", "b", "c"} for _, v

I'm afraid many of the conventions you complain about are standard Go, err, conventions... (Although see my complaint elsewhere.) Because they are so widely used, people who use Go won't bat an eyelid. Unfortunately that doesn't make the ar

This article isn't bad... but it misses several important points of Go. I also note the article is 9 months old. In the hope that my criticism will be taken as constructive, with apologies for not writing detailed explanations: 1. Goroutine

I'm afraid there are many things wrong with your model of how heat works. However a simple factor is that the surface of the sun is ~10000 times larger than the surface of the earth.

What did the Go team change to do this? Compiler optimizations or code changes? SIMD instructions?

Is it too much to expect that every device should be capable of rendering every unicode point (latest version at release) in at least one font? With the option to fall back to that font if it tries to render something in a font that doesn't

It's an arbitrary amount of time that relatively few people are able to dedicate to any skill. The rare people that do are known as "experts". But you won't be as "expert" as someone with 20,000 hours. IMO it's a tautological phrase based o

I believe you're talking about "search and rescue" dogs. The others were talking about dogs that had been rescued from abusive or neglectful owners. In any case, you are correct :)

If c were outside that range, the result would be undefined, and the compiler would not need to consider that possibility.

I would recommend this for "non-security" software engineers. i.e. those that don't specifically work in your field, but who must (I'm sure you'll agree) have a basic overview of what comprises a secure system, and a flavour of the kind of

For me it currently says "You're currently travelling at 7,000 pixels a second 200,000 km/h" - which is clearly wrong, as at that speed it would take an hour to get to the moon. Good idea, well intentioned. But they got the numbers wrong...

You can star it. That would tell the developers how many people care about it in O(1) time, without having to wade through O(n) comments. Alright, O(log n) time.

For example, if you do a runtime type assertion to see if a variable satisfies an interface: v, ok := x.(T) http://golang.org/ref/spec#Type_assertions If you "monkey-patch" x to satisfy T in another package, the value of ok may c

You can't add methods to a type in a different package as you might break that package. By locking the method set of types when a package is compiled you provide some guarantee of what it does, and it doesn't need to get recompiled again! T

I agree that a larger sample would be welcomed. In particular, spreading the experiment out over many days would help eliminate a "oh all these packages are the same, they probably go here" mistake. Whilst sending them all out on the same d

Sergey is an interesting character. He's so brutally honest and unrefined. There's no trace of corporate bullshit, no fear of saying anything wrong about Google (although he did correct himself over eBay). He's awkward. Says "er" a lot. Mak

The physics involved is fascinating, although a true appreciation of what a Higgs Boson is would take years (i.e. most of a PhD). The organisation of such a vast data-processing task has surely brought about many discoveries in "big-data" a
