Clickbait headline aside, I think Go threw some baby out with the bathwater in the march to simplicity. An example; try to sort a slice of runes.

I love Mono Develop / Xamarin studio, but it needs split panes desperately.

Again, thanks for the color. I hate to think that _anyone_ thinks this is 'pithy' (or overly concise to be clear) rhetoric though. It's a simple observation, but I feel it's one that people seem to miss quite often when

Thanks for answering. I think this notion is specifically relevant to BFL. The point is that in the absence of a Kohlberg "Conventional" and beyond sense of morality what we are left with is what companies (actors, individuals) ca

Isn't the object of business generally to do as much nefarious stuff as you can get away with? With bitcoin I think the 'moral' bar is a bit lower because this is new territory. note: I do not believe this (that business mora

10 Billion "Pre Money" valuation = 10 Billion + 500 mm "Post Money" valuation. The 10 Billion figure is typically "Pre Money".

I'm not an expert on AirBnB in the slightest but I think that's what you would consider their competitive advantage; you make the homeowners assume the responsibilities normally reserved for the Hotel. That way AirBnB just acts as

I'd love to own a house in the country eventually. The problem with moving to a city for the excitement and the job opportunities is that it's very hard to save the money for the down payment when you're spending > 30% of

"A team mostly based in <xyz>" actually does add information that explores part of a story. If the team was based in San Fransisco, it would be part of the established silicon valley culture, versus if it was based in an eme

Not only can the majority of a developers work can be done alone, but the majority of intra-team communication can be done over campfire/irc/im. You don't need to do meatspace communication to talk about code. Unless there is

Mostly because of the hoops you had to jump through to get it (some of the rules seemed arbitrary). Not sure what a good equivalent for the App Store would be today. This is, honestly, what the "Editor's Choice" sections are

Looks interesting. There is an inflection point in the size of a company / the type and quantity of expenses where this starts to make sense. In order to address the market that doesn't do a lot of expensing, maybe would be useful

This comment struck me: "He compared the PCs changing status to how trucks took a diminished role when the U.S. shifted to an industrial nation from an agrarian one." It seems myopic now as the F-150 is still the #1 best selling v

James May, of all people, has repeatedly held the position that things are getting better and not worse. I generally agree with this. It's important to be vigilant but a little optimism goes a long way as well.

So, being pedantic, really it means you rely entirely on the GC for memory management. You can run unmanaged code on the CLR.
