If you are using reflection, unsafe or even interface{} heavily, you almost certainly are not writing idiomatic Go. This will doom you to frustration and a poor experience overall.

I suspect a lot of it is simply that it's one of the first "real" programming languages taught in universities and trade schools. People who get into software engineering purely pragmatically (their parents told them they cou

From the article: "It’s just a key-value store that you #include in your code. Intuitively it seems like it could be a building block in constructing a full blown relational database server." IIRC, that's precisely how MySQL

Well I'm not saying it's like a University faculty lounge. :) But I've met my fair share of professionals, software engineers, math majors, etc at various BJJ academies. It's a big contrast with, say, a boxing gym. In fa

Presumably the program author (or OpenBSD ports maintainer) knows more about what permissions the program requires than the end-user sysadmin who would be configuring SELinux, AppArmor, etc.

Any pointers to some good docs? I'd love to start playing with rkt but I have no idea where to even start.

BJJ seems to be pretty popular among nerd/geek types actually. It's a highly intellectual martial art. (Purple belt here, currently training both BJJ [Gracie Academy] and Judo)

Not at all. What I'm saying is that /bin/sh has idiosyncratic, incomplete language syntax and semantics (mostly for historical reasons). For example, variable comparison is not built in but rather is dependent upon the extern

Powershell is a shell and a fully-fledged language. In that way it is considerably more advanced than bash/sh/csh/ksh/etc.

There's a great moment in the documentary about Joan Rivers[1] before she died (was killed, basically). Sitting in her opulent, probably immensely expensive Manhattan penthouse apartment, in the middle of a discussion about how much mo

Uber Eats is great. You can get delivery food in 5-10 min instead of 30-45 min (at least in LA). Its usually faster than walking down the street to the closest lunch place.

I interpret it as "employees are told they [employees] should be paying him [Bezos] for the privilege of being able to work at Amazon, rather than being paid a salary by Amazon".

Everyone should read Steve Yegge's classic rant about Amazon (vs Google/Facebook)[1], in particular his description of Bezos: "We're talking about a guy who in all seriousness has said on many public occasions that peopl

California is enormous--bigger than many nations. I suspect your sample size is very small. It also matters if you are in the north or the south. I've lived in SoCal for about three years and even in that short time the changes brought

I imagine it's still using virtualization under the hood, so it's no more "real" Docker than spinning up a Vagrant ubuntu box and running containers there.

Nixon said once[1] in all seriousness: "If the president does it, that means it's not illegal." Reminiscent of Louis XIV: "I am the state." Anything that was a threat to the Nixon administration in their view was ip

Which is actually nice for the US, since Chinese buyers can't pick up a piece of real estate and bring it back home with them, and the ownership obligates them to pay taxes, etc. It hurts the domestic home buyer, though, who has to com

Oracle appears to be Microsoft circa ~1999/2000. Some of us remember when all the big software companies had this type of attitude.

by bkeroack 11y ago
This is almost certainly because the engineers in charge of fixing the bugs are judged solely on the number of tickets they clear, and they could give a crap about the quality of the product as a whole or about Oracle generally.

Good job dang. You continue to make HN more of an echo chamber.

At least in California there are new state laws prohibiting HOAs and municipal governments from fining or otherwise preventing homeowners from conserving water. Sounds like Nevada needs to do the same.

Then empower yourself by learning how the business/market works, or if that sounds stupid and boring, leave for someplace where it wouldn't be. I'm not the OP, but the point I think is that as long as you are content to be a

My understanding is that the original C toolchain in Go (only recently removed in 1.5) was based heavily on the Plan 9 compilers. In fact there was a rather inflammatory blog post[1] whose basic theme was that "Golang is trash" be

A mess is a mess, true, but some are easier to clean up than others. GP is correct. Methods for scaling/optimizing the application layer are clear and well-known. Scaling the data layer is a huge challenge. This is why the market is fi

To add to the others, in a nutshell: - Mesos is a generalized, low level framework for distributing workloads over multiple nodes. It provides mechanism not policy. Therefore it requires quite a bit of up-front work to build something usabl
