I didn't mean that in Java you must split functions. I meant that code becomes a lot of functions with seemingly English names, but it's obscure what is happening. p.s. upvoted, because some mob came and downvoted those who replie

You're right. But it will return something: https://go.dev/play/p/Cz6aeGpURgo my_map := make(map[int32][]int64) val := my_map[123] val = append(val, 456) my_map[123] = val fmt.Println(my_map) p

> `value, keyExists := myMap[someKey]` If I don't need the value, I have to do awkward tricks with this construct. like `if _, key_exists := my_may[key]; key_exists { ... }`. Also, you can do `value := myMap[someKey]`, and it will j

Ok, so mostly we agree. And I was right that you can't just concatenate different slices (e.g. to remove one item from the middle), hence Go has to do a lot of work under the hood to do that. I count this as magic.

To me, Go is like Rust oversimplified beyond reason. It edits your code when you don't ask, removing things you just started; it lacks iterators -- every time you must write a big cycle instead. It lacks simple things like check if a k

In one particular matter software engineering has measurements -- performance. Lots of cross-language comparisons, before-after. Although, it's still not done where it should be -- e.g. when planning an architecture, sometimes I person

I have accumulated so much smart-stuff fatigue, I can't stand anything branded as "smart". This means, as you point out, 1) any outage in the chain between me and the vendor's app shuts everything down for me, 2) stuff b

Why do we need, essentially checkboxes, to have a whole simulation? How many people would even notice the switches have a transition at all? I was fascinated with building websites ~25 years ago, but looking back, we were doing just printin

Looks similar to buildout 15 years ago. It also made you a local executable `./bin/python`, with its own PYTHON_PATH. Then everyone rushed to virtualenv.

I've tried lots of German text books, and 99% of them are essentially very easy grammar tests, which you quickly learn to fill, without actually learning to speak. In Goethe Institut's courses you also simply fill many tests, but

Agree. Also, it looks a lot like the USSR system, where general healthcare was underfinanced and had poor education quality (although, mostly worked against infectious diseases), hence some ministries and even enterprises (were part of mini

Yes. I thought of Wikipedia as a forum for annoying socially inept nerds, who'd have millions of pages for pokemons, but delete pages for thing that exist on Earth. Now I have to remember those days with nostalgia. I'm not yet dec

Such a case when one must pay a good portion of a home price for a man dying in a hospital, is why I won't ever try to move to the US, and will retell story to everyone considering.

In the good ol' days, ~1990, Norton Commander had a screensaver with stars, similar to the one in the gallery readme, but with fewer stars, that grew from a dot to bigger dot, to shining, then bursted. Nice to see something like that a

Oh, well, correct, Spanish perro would be пэрро. The name Perrault is Перро and it's clear Е, not Э. But Pierrault would be definitely Пьерро, because of the i. Also, sometimes in borrowed words everyone writes Е like in the original b

Worth noting: the author, Kirill Yeskov, authored a great book on the Earth history and the old theories of it. And the reasons he wrote The Last Ringbearer, according to his (now deleted) blog, were 1) the geology of Tolkien's world w

Yes, I forgot to add this. I saw some shocking examples from Honk Kong, I think, where immigrants rent just a bed-cell.

I think the article and the book tend to forget the terrible living conditions in cities back then, and instead psychologize them. More than half of people in big American cities lived overcrowded -- that is, >2 people in a room, INCLUDI

I've been seeing articles on Zig for the last 2 years, and was interested, but it seems the language community is too far from my area of interest -- data and geospatial, and the tools in my sphere in Zig aren't mature enough. E.g

The submersible would have been much heavier, hence would have required a much bigger ship, with bigger crane, to haul it, which is times more expensive.

Yes, but it's a problem in hiring. A degree is still a good proxy for good worker, because it guarantees that: 1. The employee was able to work on the boring matter he was assigned, and often disliked 2. The employee internalized
