You can use google authenticator as a second factor for lastpass, that's what I do. Install the free app, hook it up to your account, bam, hugely more secure. And you can get lastpass to remember certain devices, so you don't have to keep a

Get Lastpass. It's awesome. All my passwords are 20+ completely random characters. I access the password list via a password and 2 factor authentication (google authenticator on my phone).

This. Fingerprint scanners are notoriously unreliable. Either they reject the real person's fingerprint way too often, or they accept way too many similar fingerprints. A real key is 100% reliable if you have it and 100% secure if you don't

Assuming they can figure out your identity on those sites, yes. But you also generally know when you lose it, so you can go deactivate it through a backup channel. Having a keyfob to log in is pretty standard security practice. The only thi

I like Sublime, but I think it's criminal that it can't show line endings. That's right up there with syntax highlighting in my list of must-have features. How often do line endings screw you? Since I tend to work on a lot of cross platform

Yeah, I wish they hadn't called them "Reference types" - I think it's confusing. They're just value types that happen to have a small value and a pointer to the bigger data.
907.
by NateDad 14y ago
There's really no such thing as pass by reference in Go. It's all pass by value. However, the value may be a pointer to other data that doesn't get copied. This is how pointers, maps, slices, and interfaces work (if you're passing an inte

The author is obviously new to Go, and that's fine.... here's a clarification of interfaces: Interface Pointers Note that the author of a type that fulfills an interface and the consumer of a function that takes an interface both have ful

Stop with this no college crap. Here's the facts: if you have no work experience and no college education, you're not even going to get a phone interview with any software company. You're just not. None of the companies I've worked for (fro

Everyone's assuming the poster means Linux, but he didn't actually specify. Lots of things have command line interfaces. What command line are you actually talking about?

You're right. It was poorly thought out and unnecessarily inflammatory. My apologies.

I guess I should have qualified my statement better. When I said server software, I meant servers to host cloud services that need to be easily deployed and scaled with demand. If you're writing a server that's only used inside your own com

by NateDad 14y ago
Windows isn't free, so if you need to spin up 10 new servers to meet demand, you can't just DO it. You have to pay Microsoft for the licenses first. It means that all your test and dev servers need non-free licenses.... it's a non-free hass

by NateDad 14y ago
This. If you're just running a single server inside your enterprise firewall that will only need to scale as the company hires new employees, it's probably fine. However, if you need something that can grow with demand from customers (which

There's definitely a lot of C# code out there. I do think that open source C# code is more limited than some of the other popular languages. However, the .Net standard library does so much that you often don't need much more other than pe

I never understood what Perl (and now Ruby) has against if statements. foo or do_something() is exactly the same as if foo { do_something() } Except the latter is WAY less likely to be accidentally misread.... and don'

I don't know why everyone thinks a race to the fewest lines of code is a good thing.

Honestly, my guess is that you were doing something wrong in the Go code. Go is definitely faster than Ruby, even on a single core machine. http://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64/benchmark.php?te...

I didn't see anything in the article that mentioned performance at all. I think they just wanted to try out Go. Ruby being the industry standard for new websites these days, it seems logical they'd choose it if they didn't like their experi

Many people coming from dynamic languages rely too heavily on ORMs. It's not very hard to write some SQL that will do what you want it to do, and it'll almost always be faster than an ORM. There is a little more setup, but it's not really

Yeah, FWIW, I missed the sarcasm, too. Such is the trouble with a text only format.

Well, that's an overarching why. But why you're doing this one specific thing on this line, which might look wrong or overly complex or just bizarre... you need to comment those. // foo library throws an extra two bytes at the front of

by NateDad 14y ago
The whole point is the why. Yes, they can occasionally get out of sync with the code, but that should get caught in code reviews. In 2 years you'll go back to look at the code and wonder why in the hell you're stripping out the 3rd byte of

I think the only reason TDD works as well as it does is because it forces you to _actually_ write the tests. If you write the tests after the code, it would be perfectly fine.... except no one ever (hyperbole) writes tests after the code, b

I took adderall for almost a year (under the direction of my GP), for what I thought might be ADD. It actually did almost nothing for me... Except each time we upped the dose, I got really dizzy for a day. Other than that, I felt no better
