Growing up in Alabama I always pumped then paid the attendant. I found paying first super confusing. How do I know what it will cost ahead of time? Then credit cards were ubiquitous and I never really thought about it again.

An important thing to remember when reading ancient western sources is that their culture is significantly different from our own, which can color our view of the language they use. Honor and shame are pre-eminent, for example, Isocrates: &

I used the phrase "the West" because the practice happens in the US, but is more common in Europe. The analogy stems from an instrumentalist view of what it means to be human and the expectations parents have that children are for

You've nailed. Language is a great examply where our intuition about how one learns is wildly incorrect. Babies are prewired to rapidly learn language, merely by hearing it around them. They do this regardless of the language, with tea

The West does this with down syndrome. In the UK apparently 90% of pregnancies with prenatally diagnosed Down syndrome are terminated. (see https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/i-wouldve-aborted-a-... for example)

> While Go does support passing around functions (and this is occasionally useful), it doesn’t really support the use of functions to build up composable abstractions that feel like extensions to the language. It favours the concrete, in

I think providing assistance with no strings attached is a good thing. I just don't think its sufficient and a more holistic approach would work better. I also don't think this kind of program can scale though. It needs to be loca

Poverty can also be a trap because the simple solution (just giving someone money to alleviate poverty) isn't the same as earned success. When you feel like you've earned money through hard work and you feel like you're a con

Generics are a design problem not an implementation problem. If folks agreed on a design finding resources to get them added wouldn't be hard. Not sure what you're trying to imply with your last sentence, but Go is used by many co

So for some context here, the work on the Go garbage collector was done by experts, for example: Rick Hudson ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-hudson-33339185/ ). These guys knew the state of the art, and made t

Unikernels can be difficult to debug. All the tools that come with your operating system are missing. A big chunk of managing distributed systems at scale is trying to figure out what's wrong with them when they don't behave. Most

It's not a good interview question because it treats something ambiguous and subjective as if it has an obvious answer. Go is a general purpose programming language applicable to a wide variety of programming domains. So is Java. Why c

From a Christian perspective self criticism is important because its a recognition of reality, that we fall short every day, even of our own standards. We call it confession. Confession is possible because of the Gospel: God saves sinners n

Its ridiculous on its face. European laws don't apply to American companies if they don't do business in Europe. It will become a major international incident if people try to do this.

Programming is as much about communicating with your peers as it is about getting the computer to do what you want. Go's inflexibility results in uniform code which makes it easier to understand. Macros allow you to introduce dialects

Sorry what I'm getting at is you can't do this problem incrementally. You can't calculate the count on day 1 and add it to the count on day 2. The count of each day is intertwined with all the others. But yes I suppose if at

Billing was by month. This was a business decision. It makes sense too. Billing requires a lot of man hours to pull off. Invoices, auditing, excel spreadsheets, etc. It's a people problem not an engineering problem. I'm not sure o

The Jewish people were dispersed when Israel was conquered, first by Assyria and then by Babylon (modern day Iraq). This led to the exile (diaspora). In addition to the people the ideas were dispersed. A good example of this are the magi wh

Go packages can have side effects. For example a global map, background goroutines, shared connection pools, etc. Including multiple versions of the same package would not work for these cases. Actually this isn't really a go specific
