Comment OP's stance is valid. "Magic" in this context are keywords or symbols that are not immediately clear to programmers that don't work in rust. One of the reasons golang is so successful is that there is very little

John Gruber had a suggestion where they just make a new attachment type, "Text Post" that renders like an image card. Slack has a similar feature and it works well for posting very long form messages. This would obviate extending

I have some experience experimenting with NPGSQL and it was definitely not production ready; huge performance problems and general issues abound. I wish someone would step up and write a better .net postgres driver.

postgres is still a "proper" database.

shell implies vscode wraps electron, i'm not sure what your statement is clarifying further.
216.
by bigdubs 11y ago
VSCode which is really a nice shell for electron. Other than that, not too much comes to mind.

A static compiled blog system like Jekyll, or a simple caching system in-front of the blog.

Meta Commentary: that people are still serving blogs out of a database boggles my mind (as I write this the blog is down because of database issues).

You're going to miss generics for a while. Then you're going to discover interface composition and type coercion, and it's not going to be so bad. The reflection APIs are not easy but work. Go is dynamic code generation away

Can jump to definition jump to a definition in an open file instead of opening a duplicate file? Is this handled within the extension or vscode itself? Thanks for the hard work btw, vscode+go has made my team much more productive.

Seems cool, but curious if teams have investigated golang for these use cases, specifically if throughput is sufficiently high and the GC pauses are sufficiently small.

They created / update / maintain Scala and it's suite of tools and packages (akka etc.)

So that answers that; the posted headline reads like they somehow acquired it clandestinely (which may or may not be the case, except now there is an interview with the seller).

Without knowing the details of the transfer it's hard to draw conclusions. It's possible a sale occurred, rather than a lapse.

it actually doesn't which is kind of shocking on windows because http.sys is kernel mode

I remember reading these results a little while ago and thought the numbers were great until I saw the netty results. There is a lot of work left to be done.

s/alternates/substitutes/g yeah, basically type coercion/checking and interfaces have replaced generics in some (not all) use cases

Something I never understood. If velocity (?) affects time, wouldn't time operate a different speed at different parts of the universe / solar system?
229.
by bigdubs 11y ago
The more I dig into type coercion and interfaces the less I miss generics. Still not 100% there, but for day to day the things I used to use generics for have been replaced by alternates. I still wish I never had to write `interface{}` thou

I still check in because it's a great way to keep a running diary of places I've been. I've been a user since 2009 and it's amazing to be able to go back 4 years and see what the awesome ramen place was in the LES I went

Downvoted because that is not a reasonable crucible for if something is patentable ("can clone your device just by looking at it"). There is a vast swath of reasonable patents that are easily "copyable" after the fact. I

even with a gigantic chute you're still approaching the ground at ~20mph. not a lot can hit the ground at that speed (and be that big) without either making it prohibitively heavy to fly, or without things breaking seriously enough it

"-i Install packages that are dependencies of the test. Do not run the test." Does make "go test" complete faster, throws baby out with bathwater though.

In the global scheme of things it's still pretty fast, but builds on 1.5 take 2x the time of 1.4, it's pretty bad for existing golang users.

Why give them a reason to play? "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth makes us all blind and toothless." also then comes to mind.

A phrase, "Show me a 10ft tall fence and I'll show you an 11ft tall ladder." comes to mind. There will always be a cat and mouse game, it seems the trick is to not play the game in the first place.
