If we're going for readability instead of trying to stick to the case presented above, I'd go with: for i.HasNext() { current := i.GetNext() ... } And just mutate the internal state of the struct. Prob

Is it really? >90% of the time, I'm just passing a context so that I can cancel the rest of the goroutines if an early one fails and I don't need to do the rest of the computation. That works just fine with throwing a context.B

I think more idiomatic go for the first case would be: getNext := iterableThing.Iterator() for next, ok := getNext(); ok; next, ok = getNext() { ... } Which, yeah, the range cleans it up a bit, but it's not doi

It's more that doing the 80% solution lets us spend time developing other things. And then we can have a bunch of other really cool stuff as long as the users are willing to work with it. Which seems like a pretty reasonable trade-off

That's kind of the point of wiby (the site that's doing the randomization in this post). They only index web 1.0 stuff. Not quite sure what their definition of that is, since I've seen recently updated things. Without CSS? Wi

I will acknowledge that this wasn't the best code (or the best programmers). I will also cede the point that you can write good code in Java. But my point was that Java wouldn't have enforced the situation to be a compile error, n

The number of times I've been bitten by an orm and the n+1 problem... Which, I guess is fine for some internal thing that needs to handle 8 requests a day. I've kinda stopped using orms at this point. The sql is usually clearer th

C doesn't really know about bytes. It has chars, but I believe there are some constraints on char, specifically, they have to be big enough to hold the ASCII charset. (I'm pulling real deep here, someone correct me if I'm wro

I was trying to get clang to throw an error that included type information to double check what it thought the type was. Quickest thing I could think of was trying to assign to an array. The exact error in question was: error: array type

While CDNs are useful, you really shouldn't need them to handle HN traffic. Someone posted what the otherside of a hug looks like[0], and it's somewhere around a unique visitor every 1-2 seconds, which really shouldn't be too

I believe they are in C, but arrays degrade to pointers when you look at them wrong, and _those_ don't have length as part of their type. At least I'm seeing: `array type 'int[3]'` in messages when I tried to do somethin

This seems like a real weird strategy. Most often, a company's competent people are (at the very least) slightly underpaid and going along out of a sense of inertia. The day to day routine is comforting and interviewing is a real pain,

Offshore generally means you're trying to slash costs. Say, hiring $10/day devs from India. Now, there are great devs in India, but they don't work for $10/day. It's the same term that was used for transitioning tex

200 years ago, killing humans that we know have consciousness was quite in vogue (generally speaking via war). Why do you think this would have been different?

I'm willing to adopt the metric system, but I want to use alternative base-units to screw with people. By which I mean, something like using rods, but with SI-prefixes.

A small city state that controlled the Hellespont (modern Dardanelles). If you're trying to transport things by water, say, along the Black Sea, things will end up in Constantinople. That isn't to say the Ottomans completely shut

I call BS on this (as in I disagree with the point, not that I doubt it was said), if only for the reason that 3D printers are allowed to proliferate. You could argue that 3D printers are still kinda shitty, and only making incremental impr
