No language will magically give you maintainability. I've worked on several year old golang projects and they've been terrible, made worse by the fact that golang doesn't scale well for teams or larger programs.

I'm not the person you're replying to, but I've had similar experiences with larger programs in golang. It's quite terrible to deal with, and overly verbose. I'd say anything more than 2000-3000 lines and golang bec

It's a very mediocre language with many poor design decisions. It only got traction because of the Google name behind it (it's predecessors designed at other companies were barely recognized). It's ok for writing small tools

golang is anemic in front of Java (the JVM, the language, and the ecosystem) and introduces its own set of gotchas. Once Java gets green threads (by means of Project Loom), golang will be an extremely difficult sell for anyone considering a

Does gitlab still have to comply with DMCA? Can't they just move there? Or perhaps to a host in Europe or Asia?

This is the natural outcome of far leftist identity politics, nothing to see here.

If Uber/Lyft/DD are forced to shut down, then there won't be any more drivers/delivery people to benefit. It's not for nothing that CA decided to back down after Uber and Lyft threatened to stop service in CA after

Instead of CA requiring private companies to cover health costs, they should step in to lower them and to provide coverage for the residents, it's as simple as that.

It's quite telling how the CA government backed out the moment Uber, Lyft and gang threatened to pull out. They're theatrics that expose the empty arguments they're trying to pull off under the guise of "fairness" a

Islam is not mysogynistic nor homophobic. Those terms are meaningless labels used to ostracize, and are not conducive to proper discussion.

Europe (especially the Scandinavian countries) are nowhere near as socialist as Sanders is claiming. They're more capitalistic than socialist.

That's one problem with voting in the US. It seems that the democrats do not want people to use ID (e.g. a drivers license) when voting. It seems quite obvious that it will prevent voter fraud. They keep pointing to Europe all the time

Do you have to provide ID when voting in Switzerland?

How is this level of incompetent management and spending tolerated? Yes, provide housing for the homeless, but who thought it was remotely a good idea to waste money like this?

I played around with a .NET core project, and it didn't seem to do that. I use Rider and/or the CLI to build the project.

The argument I heard is that it is the US-based companies that are incurring all the R&D and subsequent safety approval costs. Once the drug is researched and determined to be safe, you'll have generic providers then make their own

You're paying that $200K because otherwise there is no way you're getting the business off the ground. And "simple" is relative, every customer is going to need a customized app. This is not a trivial field, contrary to
