I think it does. Otherwise it would be simple to just skip Facebook. But if skipping is no option (and no alternative payment method is available), the whole 'analyze my behavior, values and believes' until you learnt how to influ

You might want to read: https://blog.cloudflare.com/exposing-go-on-the-internet/ Personally I use Go to build APIs and place some kind of UI client in front of it (e.g. a static PWA). That way you don't have to us

Just one example: Imagine a group of people where you are one of the few people without a Facebook account. Then there is some group pressure to push you into becoming a Facebook user and since they don't offer a paid service, you eith

Are you sure that app is native? Sounds more like a PWA and since they have a Service Worker [1] I am convinced that what you are seeing is not a 'native' app, but if it feels like one thats just fine :D From a desktop user perspe

Well, normally you bind functions to types like: func (m myType) calcRandom() int { return m.nine } But there are some situations when it would be useful to be able also bind functions to interfaces (e.g. some of them are simil

Okay I might have interpreted your words a bit too harsh and I have to admit that especially in the case of sqlite I am disappointed too that there is no easy way to built cross platform builds for projects which use it ;-)

I love Go, I really do. But there are some issues that should be fixed (maybe in 2.0). I'm not so sure if we really need full-scale generics like in Java or Rust, but the interface system (which is the Go solution for the Generics use-

Go is cross-platform out of the box. The problem is that you can integrate other languages like C which often don't come with cross platform compilers. So any Go program which depends in some way on C is not cross platform anymore (as

While I like the idea of Soundex I always had problems with is fixed length. In addition it is limited to the English language and for other languages you might need different algorithms (e.g. Cologne phonetics [1] for German). As others ha

You are right, but your argument is beside the point. The point is, that those devices are not designed to work 100% accurate. So even if Amazon has no malicious intent, such privacy-invading events will happen! They are just unlikely , no

That is a nice book. Starting with a practical tutorial and going into the structure and language features afterwards on a reasonable page count of just about 200 pages. I like to use awk when I need something a little more powerful than gr

Sounds like it isn't very wise to come up with new cryptocurrencies as long as the mining network is unregulated and the double spending problem isn't solved...

The quality of ray traced scenes is much better and much closer to the real world than rasterized scenes. Yet ray tracing is very expensive in terms of computation (often too expensive for real time ray tracing). So we have some technology

In general, I agree that a syntax-tree would make more sense, but I think the text centrism is some sort of greatest common denominator as that approach works for many languages (more or less). A syntax tree on the other hand, would work be

Regarding the replace thing: If you are used to sed it should be easy, as it is pretty much the same. I keep using this pattern over and over again: :%s/search/replace/gc The '%' is some sort of reference to

After using vim for a few years now, I noticed how I changed from thinking about text as characters to thinking about text as lines, which lets me create much cleaner code (independently from pretty printers). When I selected code via mouse

In fact I am not looking for anything, as I am using conversations, but any unnecessary use of (Google) services is something I consider not privacy friendly, even if it is used just as signaling channel.

So we pay the carriers and they sell our locations to 3rd parties anyway? I can't think of any business for which it should be reasonable to make additional money by selling the users data. If a service is for free, I can understand th

Well, I love and hate bash at the same time. I love the way of writing scripts. You start with a simple command and keep piping and saving the output to other functions and commands until you reach the desired outcome. While doing so, you c

Maybe the missing POSIX compatibility is the reason why they haven't replaced bash yet.
