Of course, Go itself is completely unsearchable, so you always have to search for Golang, which means that thee mut be hundreds of pages that get missed.

His point is that, if you aren't familiar with the code, operator overloading can be difficult to read. It gives objects the appearance of being native types, and it is sometimes not entirely clear what the result of the overload might be.

To paraphrase Big Lebowski: "Well, like, that's just Google's opinion, man." Of course Go is already in production at Google because the Go team designed it to fit particular pain points that Google was having, so it's going to have the lib

Sublime Text will never be a bells-and-whistles IDE like PyCharm or PyDev on Eclipse, it just won't work that way. The question is whether the extra niceities offered by those IDEs offer enough productivity gains over their heavyweight desi

My problem with Dropbox is that they aren't good custodians with my data. The password glitch could happen to anyone, but Arash's nonchalant original response was pretty shocking, and Dropbox haven't integrated anything like two-factor auth

My biggest issue with this design, unlike say, the leather bound Address Book, is that it's tied to a technology that the generation Apple would like to appeal to have never used . It's akin to changing the App Store to having hand written

Apple's highly questionable and deeply unfortunate skeuomorphism kick continues unabated. Now we're treated to a radio dial which died out in 1995, and playing podcasts presents a reel-to-reel, which died out in god knows when. It's complet

To me, gamification is suited for making necessary but painful tasks fun (e.g. cleaning your desk, tagging media, memorizing facts), but not for deep learning (e.g. algebra, quantum mechanics, object-oriented programming). But maybe, at 26

Apple Store Monterey had no idea, but not today. "We'll know more in a couple of days. We might have them by the end of the week." I ordered online.

It's madness that they have an "authenticator" that isn't supported in their later games. "World of Warcraft Dialer" would have been a more accurate, and descriptive, naming. For users that don't troll the forums, there is no reason to beli

I did have an authenticator. I used the Dial-In Authenticator, as I didn't like the idea of an authenticator being tied to my phone (I do change phones, but not telephone numbers). Apparently, it didn't trigger. I played Diablo at a confer

The elaborate on the Schultz paper, dopaminergic reward feedback mechanism is for unexpected reward only. Repeated stimulation depreciates the neuronal signals. As I'm still working through this stuff, and am certainly no psychologist or

Well, that makes me sad. I've had one interaction with the AH, and it was that one. It was after I'd had my account hacked (which we can talk about some other time...) and I needed to regear my character. Still no chest piece :(

While I think you're getting there, I think there's a better explanation: variable reward schedules (eg. slot machines). More of Schultz's work looks at this [1]. Basically, a reward of 50% of the time is far more addictive for Julio and hi

AT&T is probably going to be pushed to do so by the continued existence of T-Mobile. We're lucky that deal didn't get through, or you can be sure you wouldn't be able to have SIM-only plans. My guess is Verizon will block this point-bla

The reason I've been reading it all is because I'm writing my thesis on it :) I haven't spent too much time with Khan Academy, so can't say too much about it. There are two things to keep in mind: 1. Extrinsic motivation erodes intrinsic mo

Gamification is bullshit by design. Gameful mechanics may not be, but we're not there yet. Point 1 is that Zichermann (who wrote Games-Based Marketing) misrepresents the research into motivation. Whether this is maliciousness or incompetenc

Apple has never been a company that believes in opt-in. Rightly or wrongly (and, to be fair, usually rightly), it's a company that believes you having the choice to do something it thinks is dumb is a bad idea.

Even for some goods which are more expensive, once you add in Sales Tax (although that'll be solved soon enough) and gas for the car, and especially a quick time is money calculation, I would bet Amazon is cheaper overall every time.
