As usual, the older generations fear change and subsequently lash out at the younger generations. The cycle continues.

As much debate as I've heard recently over what qualifies a person as an "engineer", one of the key features has always been a very strict adherence to a code of ethics. I'm starting to wonder if the title is even worth

Historically they've been very open about their tools, though, even open-sourcing a lot of them. Not to say this can't be the exception, just that it does seem a little out of character.

But, don't a lot of employees also get to negotiate their salaries and benefits when they're hired?

Presumably it's more secure as it shouldn't expose your credit card number to the point of sale. Given the number of major hacks in that area in recent years, that should really be the #1 touted feature of such "X Pay" s

It seems to me that the majority of those features are a result of Java being 20 years old. It's entirely possible Go could achieve or surpass those features by its 20th birthday.

While there's plenty of room to carry on the discussion of what should or does qualify as "engineering", I think that in this case it gets in the way of the primary discussion.

There's a world of difference between introspection and narcissism. Being self-absorbed is a vice, but being aware of your limits and how best to push them is a virtue.

That's a bit of a slippery slope, though, isn't it? I'm already doing everything I want to do with Go, so all of the things it's "missing" don't really matter to me. If we had to learn and switch languages

I like Go. It's fun, it's fast, and it's introduced me to a lot of programming concepts I had never used before. The one thing that seems to be missing from these discussions is that Go fits in an unexpected niche. I come fro

You missed an important point: if they wait until checkout then the payment process will complete and they'll get to walk away with law enforcement's money. They have every incentive to wait until the very end to tip their hand.

That is pretty hard for a human to parse and understand, though. I think it could be reasonably easy to come up with a config file standard in XML or JSON, but that the format will have to rely on the strengths of each. Translating between

I have to agree. When it's something big and business-critical, like AWS or Azure or some other major host, that's newsworthy, but honestly we should expect something like Slack to go down occasionally. So we can't chat for a

That doesn't sound quite right to me, as it's pitched as a system for web sites to implement individually to try to standardize user privacy systems. My suggestion is more along the lines of how a web site TOS works right now: it

It's funny how often it's brought up even before marriage. Also, men have a huge legal disincentive to have kids anymore. If the relationship doesn't work out, you're on the hook for ~18 years of child support payments,
