It looks like if there is a problem, you can restart qtile and be OK. Also, you might be able to get away with setting your monitor configuration with xrandr before starting qtile. If you like tiling and multiple monitor support, I sugges

This isn't viable if it's a performance critical portion of your code. Idiomatic Go (currently) is to use a for loop for map and reduce/fold operations.

What's your point? It's much simpler to bless a few builtins than implement an entire generics system (with respect to the rest of the language).

Eh. It depends upon the audience of your web site. If it's web site with a programmer audience, there is probably going to be a non-trivial portion of your users that are using plugins like vimperator or vimium.

This is true. Rust also provides more compile time safety (a lot more actually), but it comes at the cost of complex semantics.

I think this is all well and good, so long as you're not looking to get people to use your code. If you want people to use your code, you need some kind of documentation. Otherwise, a lot of people (including myself) aren't even going to gi

I would just like to thank you very much for sharing that link. It was an amazing read. I found so many of the points made in that article things that I already practice, but I had never dreamed they could all be tied together in one cohesi

I am a computer scientist that has performed research using Go because I love working with Go. I absolutely despise Java. So I'd say that your assessment is a bit off. I also look forward to trying Rust as well. Having algebraic data types

The glaring omission here is DATA. I just want data, and I don't want to have to parse a JSON feed to get my hands on a limited subset of that data. Of course, an entire business model is in my way, but alas, I don't share your perspective.

It would be loads of fun. Unfortunately, I think the primary reason why there aren't a lot of cool ideas like this already implemented is for legal reasons. From what I've heard, starting your own fantasy league by using NFL data is just pr

Daily attention. My friend has done it for several years, and often his dedication is a good enough for why he wins. But I think it's worse than daily attention. The MLB isn't like the NFL in that its schedule is spread out all over the pla

There is apparently something wrong with your ability to detect when something is said in jest.
