The good news is that Slack/Hipchat/Campfire seems to be bringing channel based communication back in the workplace. Most of the places that use them use it as the hub. There are obviously lots of additional little features (emot

You nailed it -- I am so sick of the overly cozy backrub style relationship between the media and Uber... Emil Michael and Sarah Lacy are obviously in love!

"the gear" huh? Exactly what "gear" do they rent?

You must live in an area with good to great taxi service. There are areas where taxi service is so spotty as to be scary, were simply getting a cab is a huge pain (IE: called and ordered) and flagging one down is a non-starter. Even after

Go is a spec, not a compiler.

No, going fast is about not doing work twice. It is about the dependency graph. Go was developed to make dependency analysis very simple, so you recompile a tiny number of files even on massive, complex apps... and don't spend massiv

Yeah, I simply think that this is hard to explain in a comment how useful and easy it is. But, I gave it my best Go...

Then you need to scale and your library isn't actually built in C... or only runs on 2.x (or 3.x) and the cocoon seals up and you can't escape... you scream but no one can hear you... you look for help, desperately clawing at cyth

No, io.Copy was just the example that everyone would recognize in Go, and likely the first interface you will touch. My point was implicit, exceptional simple interfaces are sorta magic. They are effortless, and because they are implicit,

Go has nothing unique (and maybe that makes it special). I mean that sincerely, everything it has, has been done dozens of times. Interfaces in Go are implicit (which is important, IMHO) and really, tremendously simple. These two feature

Composition. That is the single biggest thing that has impressed me as my codebase has grown. Concurrency and messaging is nice, but I come from Erlang... I am not easily impressed by concurrency and messaging. Composition, the power of

Motorcycle statistics are accurately dire, but the reason for this is rather obvious. Most "miles" in cars are commuter miles... getting to work, getting to the store, getting home again. Motorcycles on the other hand are general

I can't decide if that terrifies me or inspires confidence. But, it is great to see it on the radar and out in public.

I hope that when Rust hits 1.0 -- they take backward compatibility exceptionally seriously. The pre-1.0 path has been exceptional wild ride, and it has made me a bit gun shy about the language as a whole. I am no stranger to pre-1.0 langua

I have been using the tried and true ostrich technique to avoid the topic (the whole systemd debate). But honestly it feels like the file on the right is a whole lot more opaque. If (or when) it goes horribly wrong, I am not certain I wou

Yeah, a lot of magic lives at the tooling layer, and Go is going to leverage that with Go Generate in Go 1.4+. A lot of great tools already leverage that core. I like that fact that a lot of the tooling/editor support is not picking a

Yeah, it was horrible to read. It is a rare mix when someone is -- self-important, offensive, long-winded, ill-informed, and manages to invoke Godwin's Law. For awfulness: 5/5

Do you feel docker and 0install fill the same space?

Wow -- I consider this "The Missing Manual" for Erlang production developers. A lot of this you learn over time -- as you work on production systems, but this will cut down the pain significantly. Nice to see another boon to the

I can only speak for DC -- but it is the exact same here. I have seen fervent defenses about why cyclists shouldn't have to follow traffic rules as well (better visibility, mobility, etc) -- but all those arguments apply equally to mo

The syntax reason doesn't matter to existing Erlang developers -- you get used to the Erlang syntax, same as any other syntax. The meta-programming on the other hand may well be a huge draw to Erlang shops.

Wow, how long have you guys existed? I am shocked I didn't know about this product. That is IMHO, EXACTLY the product that has needed to be built for awhile. Get all those eccentricities into one library that provides a clean interf

Well -- they have the Python 3 disaster to learn from... you can't break backwards compatibility for minor gains -- if you are going to break it -- break everything you must and make the new thing much better -- half measures in this r

Email is simple the way a plane is simple. As long as you don't see all the moving parts, and get to go along for the ride, it just seems like a magical flying tube! I spent about 18 months on an email client project (was already 3 ye

Mosh always seems oddly slow. I have a good connection to most of my servers (under 10ms to many, under 100ms to all)... and it just feels laggy, in vim sessions, in tmux scrollback, everywhere. I find just a vanilla ssh (with tmux always

Comparing vanilla to tooled seems a bit strange. Why not compare JMockit to gomock or something?

There are also partial mocking libraries for Go. http://blog.getsocialize.com/2013/getting-a-handle-on-testin...
