Nah, there's plenty of Go hating going around, so that kind of balances it.

How do you come to the conclusion that the "Atheist" parcels must have been handled by Christians? Why are you apologizing unprofessional conduct of USPS employees?
366.
by _ak 14y ago
Why are you so apologetic about religious discrimination in the US? "But these other people are so much worse than I am" has never been a valid argument.
367.
by _ak 14y ago
USPS and its employees ought to act professionally, no matter whether the parcel is from someone who keeps religion to herself, or whether it's from some crazy religious Westboro-Baptist-style nutjob. If others commit crimes, then why shoul

Issues? What issues? Most complaints about Go are really just "it doesn't contain my favorite language feature", "I heard the GC isn't even precise so it must suck", "it's too immature", "I couldn't get this library to work within 10 minute

Experience with Go in the last few years has shown that you don't really need them. If you think you do, then you're doing it wrong. Also: http://research.swtch.com/generic

Can't speak about the speedups per se, but since the standard library has a package with certain operations necessary in crypto implementations to preempt timing attacks, I would say they know what they're doing: http://golang.org/pkg/cryp

Server framework for doing what?

Yes, and the situation on the conference was reported to the conference staff, the people involved were talked to, and the situation was resolved. Or so, it seems. Then Aria continued her public shaming, and the whole thing escalated.

by _ak 14y ago
Shamed publicly, slandered, etc.?

by _ak 14y ago
well, the photos that Adria took were taken to publicly shame (which can be considered a form of harassment) the two people, so yes, that definitely did happen.

by _ak 14y ago
Well, that escalated quickly. This could have been a situation that everyone could have forgotten about in 10 minutes if people only spoke, listened and tried to understand each other. (n.b. I don't condone anyone's firing in this situation

Because, you know, ad hominem claims of lack of civility will always get you around the issue of having to face and talk about the pain points in your software.

Well, as far as I understand, that implementation would need to overcome the Generic Dilemma as described by Russ Cox: http://research.swtch.com/generic So far, the Go team decided to go for approach #1.

But an implicit implementation of that interface.

Same here. I only use software licenses where I can understand every single word. My personal preference is MIT, but 2-clause BSD or ISC would be equally fine.

You are totally right: in the last 2+ years I've programmed in Go, this has never been an issue. OP's example seems very contrived.

Funny how we talk about Go and Java and you suddenly come up with Scala and Erlang.

You quote things you don't understand. n goroutines (where n is big) get multiplexed to m threads (small m, typically numbers of cores). Goroutines are cheap: each goroutine starts at a size of 4k, and creating them is a really cheap operat

by _ak 14y ago
Yeah, right. Just take a closer look what goroutines really are (hint: not threads), and how Java threads differ from them.
