This is why a "go" rewrite story is not that appealing to me. You can rewrite a subset of a system and gain many improvements simply by benefits of hindsight and clearer requirements regardless of languages.

It's ready when it's ready. There's no time commitment from JetBrains. It is usable now even for production although the compiler is not yet optimized and the language is still evolving.

Nominate him for Nobel Peace Prize for this year. It will offer him a better political protection against the current US government and will make him one of the better winners of prize in this decade.

Then this is just another example that your democracy is broken. Go fix it.

He will be discovered sooner or later. So it is better for him to come forward and have the public attention and his current location to somehow protect him. He needs to be protected and supported. And we will see in the coming days whethe

As long as Americans want their government to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to protect them from terrorism threat (real or imagined), this kind of shit will continue to go on.

I highly recommend Fargo and its underlying OPML format. It is pretty much the only tab I keep open on my browser all day.

Connection pooling? I am surprised to find out that Django doesn't have this feature until now. Is there any specific reason why this wasn't implemented much earlier? Old tech like plain asp had this more than a decade ago.

I am tired of this bullshit 'Dave Winer' story. If you don't like his personality or his work, fine but there's no need to run around whinging about it. He has been writing publicly for a long long time and it makes people think that we kn

For me it's the function expansion syntax. fun main(args : Array<String>) { val a = calculate(1) { x -> 10 + x } //11 val b = calculate(2) { x -> 20 * x } //40 println("a = $a, b = $b") } fun calculate

The great thing about Android Studio based on IntelliJ is that Kotlin plugin should work with no or minimal change to work there.

No, you don't move them. You release them, all. You have not charged them with any crimes for the past 10 years and have not put them on trials. The problem is not the location of the prison. The problem is you are shitting on Habeas corpus
