I understand and recognize as valid all of the author's concerns. I am personally using Go for things that I used to do in Java. I recognize that this may not be realistic for people heavily invested in the JVM, but I'm finding development

I would absolutely pay for and go to this. Such amazing potential for keynote speakers.

Having interned there last summer, my observation is that you're completely wrong. Who knows, maybe they were all just hiding it for three months.

It seems that the primary method of disagreement used by only-JavaScript-in-the-browser advocates is as follows: 1. Talk about the "open web"; 2. Tell you to compile to JavaScript. I really don't understand why this is considered a reasonab

Sorry, but this is not good enough. This argument is made all the time, but all you're really saying is that every other language should be a second-class citizen to JavaScript. Emscripten is a cool technical hack, but why the fuck is it 20

"Finally, there is no easy way to edit text that we enter in the terminal. Going to the end/beginning of the line depending which place it’s closer to the point you want to edit, and then moving your cursor over one character at a time to g

"Both pages are not indexable." What? Clearly they are indexable. Is this post claiming that indexing JavaScript content is "closing up the web"? That seems pretty arbitrary. I don't understand why making your search engine JavaScript-aware

Do you mean that exceptions, when they bring down your program, indicate the line where the exception was thrown? If so, then `panic` in Go does the same thing. Using goroutines and panic/recover, you can do the same things you do with try/

I hope nobody reads this, is irritated by the listed criticisms of other C-like languages, and decides to avoid Go. Go is a very well-designed language. Instead of piling on features, they have optimized for practicality and productivity.

This is a great response to this clusterfuck. These guys have a responsibility to react slowly and deliberately. I'm impressed they got the problem solved and two public statements out on a Sunday. This is why I'm happy to be a paying custo

When I read "this vulnerability affects tons of Rails apps," I read that as a security vulnerability in Rails. I'm not a user of the framework, but I've heard "convention over configuration" often enough to think that if this was brought up

Yes, for two years. I was a math major in undergrad, though, and I never had to do it for work. I've only worked on one database-backed application, and it used a NoSQL database. That's why I took this course while I'm in grad school.

Don't worry--the ORM was for personal projects. The course covered relational algebra and calculus before even talking about SQL, and mapping came after that.

Funny, I had this conversation with one of my professors the other day. I've never written straight SQL--only used ORM. He showed us a giant SQL query and my first question was "do people really write it this way, instead of building up f

Why couldn't pull requests just be kept on hold until the contributor signs the agreement?

I guess you really meant programmer, but I think this is a great list.

You can also use blocks this way in C, Java, etc.

I find that most programming languages have confusing syntax that go against mainstream conventions for seemingly no reason. As might be expected from Bell Labs alumni, most of Go's design decisions have good reasons.

Only slices, maps, and channels are reference types.

I think the improvement in expressiveness here is in not having to do &E before calling the method that has receiver type * E. That is, (&E[i]).update(1, 2, 3, 4) and E[i].update(1, 2, 3, 4) do the same thing, so he was able to eli

Please, someone familiar with Tor and the special bridge mentioned here, make such an image available. I would deploy one ASAP.

As another poster mentioned, DDOS attacks on successful companies are not uncommon. And there isn't an easy fix for this.

Well, a lot has changed since 2007. I'd argue that programmers are held in high regard now--witness all of the news articles in the past year about "software engineers taking over the world". Further, the work conditions might be better? Ma
