Oh the unintended irony. Go's syntax may be simple enough to pick up in a few weeks but writing "good" Go code turns out to be much much harder. Idiomatic Go can take a year or two to internalize and introducing non idiomatic

They haven't been easy to get a response from for me. Tried to ask a question that wasn't in the FAQ and got silence. That was a few years ago. Went elsewhere. Same situation different question last year and again no response. YMM

Am I the only one getting a weird conspiracy vibe when reading the article?

by cy_hauser 6y ago
The author does state that the article is just a collection of potentially surprising things from other sources. They also state the target audience is those new to Go but know other languages. Title may be a bit over the top but I'll

Backwards. Not sure if it's the square of the distance but you do need more than double the size at twice the distance.

Still don't get the connection in the way you do. Maybe I'm so used to OO stuff that I just gloss over it. > a language that doesn't support dynamic dispatch. Go's interfaces do support this enough that I consider it

I'll accept that as a reasonable conclusion. Then he also said the following: https://usesthis.com/interviews/rob.pike/ https://groups.google.com/g/golang-nuts/c/hJHCAaiL0so&#x2

I don't disagree with your conclusion but I don't see it following from the quoted premise. What was your thought chain to get from the quoted text to OO stuff?

Cuts down on code and eases refactoring. Makes it faster to go from my mind to my code! (Once you get past the syntactical reading bump.) I'm really looking forward to really cleaning up some database and report code in particular. Bum

If I were writing an app that provided information as to what plants were native to a user's particular region, for example, I would have absolutely no fear of that license. That said, I can understand if one has a philosophical aversi

by cy_hauser 6y ago
Do you philosophically oppose the license or is it because your application might compete?

by cy_hauser 6y ago
Unless you're not using it to compete. Which would be most applications providing content directly to users.

Many utilities in the US have this. The utilities charge a fixed monthly fee based on estimated usage. Each year the amount is adjusted based on the previous year. It's not that popular overall but serves lower income households well.

Being smaller they can and should user human moderation. Twitter and Facebook have problems because of the huge number of posts. Parler is still small enough that then _can_ moderate.

If we went to be "better than average" then yes. You must do something to stick out in order to get better jobs, more money, more fame, more power, etc.

The fact that the current government did a crap job isn't reason to jump on a free market solution. The free market does optimize, just not to anything fair, equitable, or even the most efficient in protecting the population. The solut

Or unless you're coding simply because you enjoy the experience and don't care about the interop and making a wide use language at that point.

Yes and no. Most of the time my enums are well defined: ContactStatus, AwardLevel, JugeStatus, for example. I have not control over the names or values and all have a "Revoked" value. When they come in from an external system it&#

Thanks for the details. I hear what you've said. I agree that Go was built with limited capability in order to make it easy for junior developer. And I agree it can slow down more senior developers at times. Although not nearly as much
