who would run PHP on some cloud service if you can have web hosters host your PHP applications for next to nothing? I think that, without even realizing it, they're competing with the good old webhosters that provide you with webspace on a

I tried, and failed. Multiple times. Systems that are complicated are not really appealing.

But if there was an error, WHY WOULD YOU EVEN BOTHER?! Read the documentation what it says about the value in case of an error, and stop inflating a non-issue.

> One problem with Go is that is uses multiple return values to indicate errors instead of alternative return values. When you call strconv.ParseFloat, you always get back two values, the error code and... wait, what float do you get ba

Claiming RAIDZ as an advantage is... weird. At least on a recent Solaris 10, it has absolutely terrible read/write performance.

Even though Berlin is not as cheap as it was a few years ago, it's still much cheaper than other big cities with a comparable tech/startup scene. Ever tried to rent in London? New York? Silicon Valley? Even Munich or Hamburg (and I'm not cl

Berlin is dead cheap. Cheap flats, cheap office space, several universities with CS programs, a laid-back life style, good living quality in many of the inner districts.

My understanding of this is the following: having implicit casts between certain fundamental types has always been a source of error that even led to own classes of security issues. Instead, Go, like with other things, is going the explicit

If you'r really worried about code changes that might break your project, you're free to fork the library, e.g. if it's on GitHub. Even though that's not really a sophisticated way of versioning, it's quite convenient.

So what exactly do you think is awkward about Go's way of working with JSON? Here's a code example from one of my current projects: type UploadProgress struct { Progress int `json:"progress"` } //... // variable p

Yes, Go will do that automatically. Plus, you can write your code in a completely linear fashion, instead of the typical Node.js code with lots of callbacks.

The Go runtime already does that, it abstracts away the while asynchronous I/O for you.

To my knowledge, the source to the 1.3.x release isn't public. I wonder whether it's a complete rewrite from scratch or whether 1.3.x still contains patches from external contributors and whether they agreed that their work be sold for mone

The question is: is Jörg Schilling (who maintained BerliOS) now unemployed because FOKUS decided to close BerliOS, or do they close it down because Jörg Schilling left FOKUS and nobody's interested in maintaining the mess he left behind? (j
