Wow, no. There's a ton of people that could use MaaS. People use the big public clouds because they're easy. With MaaS you can build your own cloud almost as easily, and skip the Amazon tax. It's great for big companies t

So, you enjoy spending months ramping up new developers in your language of choice? That's not a task that falls to managers, it falls to the other developers on the team. There's still ramp up on the codebase, but at least I do

If that's the case, someone's Doing Something Wrong™. Two versions should be different import paths.

Yeah, it's the global resources that are the biggest problem, though. Certainly, if you can namespace everything, then the code itself won't fall over. If you version the URL in Go, you can do that too. Stuff that uses v1 can li

I wonder what you're doing that you find a lack of libraries. I have had no such problem, but I could imagine math or scientific libraries being in short supply... it's not really a language those fields have found suitable for t

Oh yeah, Java's garbage collector is a lot better than Go's, though Go's is improving. That being said, it's way easier to simply not create garbage in Go than it is in Java, so you can avoid the garbage collector ent

How is this not a problem in node.js? Keep in mind, I don't know node. However, in general, there's going to be several common problems in any language: Values from v1 and v1.1 won't interoperate perfectly. If you get a v1

Writing servers is a pretty big niche, don't you think?

Sorry, I won't click on Quora links... post to a non-terrible Q&A site that doesn't hide stuff behind registration pages.

That's an awesome thing about Go, there's nearly no ramp-up time. On Juju, we hire like 65% devs who've never used Go, spend nearly zero time teaching it to them, and they're still instantly productive.

Rust is not a stable language, so no long running project can safely use it. Is Julia a stable language with backwards compatibility? It's v0.2.1 right now, which doesn't fill me with confidence. He mentions C++, pretty sure he

I actually love it. Here's what you do: don't use "workspaces". Keep all your code in one GOPATH, preferably $GOPATH=$HOME. That's it. 99% of the time that'll work great.

So, assuming that upstream will accept your changes, the easiest thing to do is create a branch of D in the same on-disk location as the original code (so, $GOPATH/src/github.com/D-team/D for example). You then make you

A -> C-v1 and A -> B -> C-v1.1 is a problem in any language. As for the rest, you can have your cake and eat it too. Go get is useful for getting trunk, so let it get trunk. You can use Keith Rarick's godeps to pin branch re

What's funny is that I actually have no idea what a non-open office would look like. I've worked for 15 years and have never even walked in an office that wasn't open. How do you give each person an office without using like

What bugs me is that I have fiber... it's just that it's Fios, so it's expensive for anything above cable modem speeds. I'm paying $75 a month for 75 down, 35 up, and for a mere $125 more per month, I could get 300 do

I guarantee cloud services are more reliable than your home server. Also, if your house burns down, you're boned.

The whole point is to help the poor, who have no bank, and likely no computer. As the article said, there's 68 million of those in the US.

The fees are not based on risk, they're based on market forces. This article[0] states the median APR on payday loans is 322%. There's no way defaults are that bad. The loan shops are just taking advantage of people who have

Really? You can't copy and paste 8 times and then visually verify each one? Hell, you could diff them against each other to make sure you're not missing anything in those sections. I think our culture has put too much of a taboo

The thing of it is, the next person that looks at the site might not know PHP... then what? You must know HTML to be able to work with a webpage. Anything else is just a further restriction on who can edit the site. Most small business

I did this exact same thing on a friend's small business website. There was some ASP code to put the business's contact info in several different places, but her new hosting didn't support ASP. The answer was to just copy an

Arg, stupid phone. Should say: The Go package name can be different than the name of the directory in which the package resides (although this is strongly discouraged). The directory may certainly contain hyphens, but the package name - th

The contract may be valuable. The guy cleaning the toilet did not negotiate the contract. He cleans the toiled for minimum wage (or thereabouts).

by NateDad 12y ago
Well, in the actual package name, you can't include hyphens. I presume they're talking, then, about the directory name, which would have to differ from the actual package name, and that's a no-no. Their reasoning may be w

If something is supposed to work 100% of the time, it won't have an error return value. Otherwise there's a nonzero chance it'll fail. The time you spend writing a simple "network configuration file must exist" is

Should be marked (2013) but otherwise, yes, it's a good article about a part of Go that isn't much hyped.

Glad to hear from someone currently going through it. My older daughter is only 3, so I haven't gotten there yet. I hope the new way works, I'd like our kids to understand math better than we did, and I'm not averse to learn
