IMHO Yahoo's biggest mistake was never grokking search. And they had two opportunities. First: When Larry and Sergei wanted to sell their search engine to them for a few millions, in the late 90s. They said they are focused on curated

So can you (or me), or all the lucky ones above a certain threshold. We all have the same time! Which is the biggest leveler. Our only handcuffs are our own making, say after you have FU money[1]. (e.g. having a million dollars net worth

I doubt if this is totally true. Upto Go version 1.4, the process would use only 1 core/cpu per process by default, but you could change it by: numCPU := runtime.NumCPU() ret := runtime.GOMAXPROCS(numCPU) From 1.5 the process the d

Lets just put it this way, I bought onto the basic proposition which was offered, after having read Rob Pike's original blog introducing it, and having watched lots of Go team videos. Some points which also went into decision making: 1

Good question. Small team of 2 developers, so I had that kind of luxury, which I am sure is not there when you have larger teams.

It was early 2013, when we adopted Go as a default language for all our server side (micro or not) services. Before that we had been using Java for some years. The reason for the move were few: 1) Ambivalence on Java roadmap, in my understa

Do it. If not you, somebody else will do it, and that may make you repent later on, if you don't. Not to be insensitive to the loss of employment of so many people. But if its possible to automate the process by you in spare time, then

Its just an intuitive hypothesis. And point to note is that ever since we started doing agriculture, and that was around 20,000 years ago. We started to have more idle time for creating tools and arts, in general more sedentary than hunting

Reading this article made me really sad and pensive. This is slavery. “It’s like when they whip animals. But this is a mental whip.”. We see lots of articles on HN, on how AI is going to take over, reading this article it felt like this is

I know you are saying it in earnest, and good for you. But I dislike the preachy tone 'Hajj is a Farz for Muslims. Anyone who enter's Mecca ought to do so with the thought of his Lord on him'. When you do this, you ignore lot
