But for veteran Java programmers, Go seems like a handicapped Java. Assuming that the Go toolset evolves to a point where it matches Java performance, does Go's license (and non-association with Oracle) offer any advantage?

Yes, more people need to know about "git grep". Did you know you can do things like `git grep -e foo --and -e bar --and --not -e baz`? "git grep" is great.

That's one columnist's opinion, and it seems like he's just trumpeting the W.H.O.'s story. I don't think it's safe to call this book closed. There are other opinions, and facts. http://www.allgov.c

Most people probably think that Pixar uses Apple computers (e.g. the Apple references in Wall-E). In fact, Pixar is a Linux shop.

VIM is all about its legacy, huge ecosystem and hype I don't agree with the "hype" part. Where's the hype? I use vim because it gets the job done.

I can see the benefit of the forced return, but only because it's bitten me in the past. In Python, if you don't say `return` the function returns `None`.

That would make sense. Eigenfaces are notoriously bad about translation/rotation invariance.

I've never seen any other project that anthropomorphizes the code like that Git's SubmittingPatches document says to use an imperative tone in commit messages. That's why it reads the way it does.

Can you please send a git-mergetool patch to the git mailing list? This will save everyone the trouble of needing to discover how to configure it. Feel free to contact me offline if you need some pointers.

YouCompleteMe[1] was discussed here[2] not too long ago. Do you have any thoughts on how it compares to clang_complete and pysmell/rope? It would be nice if this new Go completer could be plugged into YCM (for example), or if these various

The epilogue mentioned that the original paper included a Gary Larson cartoon. That got me curious so I hunted down the original paper. It was worth it ;-) http://www.mel.nist.gov/msidlibrary/doc/libes89.pdf

Back around 1990, some forward-thinking IT person secured for Apple an entire Class A network of IP addresses. Pixar has a large block too... I wonder if Steve had something to do with it?

I think most engineers would naturally support this idea. The reality is that doing something like this is pretty tough because the current system has so much weight. It's akin to asking a company to abandon a perfectly functioning legacy

I am so happy to have found this. People often ask me about how to properly handle Unicode in python at my $dayjob. I now have an "official"-sounding name for the "decode early, unicode everywhere, encode late" mantra I always tried to expl
