I would normally agree with you, but the term "hack" in css already has a relatively well defined meaning as "goofy piece of CSS to work around a browser bug"[1]. While I do think it's appropriate to isolate such things so you can remove th

Where are these packages published? Can I install things from this page[1] in that way? At least from 1000 feet away, it seems like Ruby has this problem solved better than Go does. Maybe it's just that the nature of the solution is more ap

A quick check led to me not finding a package manager for Go similar to RubyGems. Does it have one? Manually installing dependencies is a colossal waste of time.

by awj 14y ago
Sure it does, right up until you also need libraries that Ruby has but Go doesn't. Also you're trading away a few language features to get Go, so between the two you're tossing a lot of programmer time out the door to avoid writing in C. Ma

Closing port 80, great suggestion. Until you can point me to an alternative authentication scheme that I can expect api consumers to generally have ready-made support for, it's pretty well the only good suggestion in this article.

Indeed. It's almost like it would be a good idea to have people dedicated to performing this function. Make it their job. Give them training. Give them oversight.

I'm sure the pendulum will swing back that way (it has to, editing is too beneficial to neglect). I think it will just take time for editors to also extract themselves from the old school publishing business model.

They were sitting in an audience with over ten people inside of ten feet. It doesn't matter how private you want your conversation to be, in that kind of setting you will be overheard and should act accordingly.
