All his posts are rants against qanon and he's suddenly lucky enough to be a victim and immediately quits. He doesn't press charges because he'll be a national level target. Never mind that an assault like this at the hospi

I think it had little to do with that. Every year Sun had bigger and bigger computers like we needed bigger monolithic servers. Run an ISP and need 100,000 user telnet accounts? Bigger computer! Then, seemingly overnight, the problem is

I guess a better response to this is that I don't use generics a lot when writing Go, but I probably use a lot of packages where they would have been incredibly useful.

Exactly. Go is safe enough. Correctness for most programs is more about making sure it solves the problem correctly, not merely that it guarantees no errors if it runs. That feels like a modern version of "It compiles, I'm done

Define queue using generics, sure. It will be huge for people waiting packages. A specific queue is typically well defined and has a struct in/out. There are times when I've wanted arbitrarily nested JSON that doesn't map int

> Coming from languages that have them, it's just hard to take Golang seriously Some people judge the language on their ability to get work done with it. I get generics, but they really don't come up in daily use with the tasks

All those successful efforts with Rails over the last ten years -- many are moving on to other tech, many are just getting bigger with Rails. I thought I had moved away from Rails into Go (I find the two very complementary), but I got pulle

As an interviewer, I wouldn't say it's a red flag so much as a nothing sandwich.

Assuming that you're coming in without experience, pedigree, or favoritism, the only things left are portfolio, coding tests, and interview questions. You're probably getting interview questions either way, so the things you can

You picked out the tongue in cheek part of my comment, but sure, people like thinner computers. Not sure what battery life has to do with that sense the overall lifetime of the batter is probably worse with everything packed in and the bat

It wouldn't really be the monthly subscriptions. The engine wouldn't be bolted in, everything would be welded into place. Parts to repair it would not be accessible, except at Apple dealerships. If it doesn't start, you cou

Sure, Ruby on Rails. I literally start with something like: "You've just created a new Rails app and you change into that directory. What are some of the directories and files you find at that top level?" "What do you

Theoretically that is based on actuarial data which says people are living longer and can work longer. If you can find one where people born before a certain year get a pension and people after it will never get one, then it's a like t

People born after a certain year is a class of people. Born on one side can smoke, born on the other side can never smoke. But it's good for them! Sure. They also speak about smoking being a problem for the Maori. Maybe they should

Whether the law is well intentioned or not, it discriminates against those born after a certain year. If it is truly necessary to ban people born after 2007 from smoking for their entire lives, this law should not create two groups, it shou

I can't support any legislation that so blatantly discriminates against a whole class of people. People should be treated equally in the eyes of the law.

In simpler terms the two steps for this problem are: 1. There exists some number of horses where all horses are of the same color. This is obviously true when you have 1 horse. 2. The second step is that you have to prove that if you have
