I've seen people offered that little, but it's hard to believe anyone would take a company up on it. I started at a modest $50k, in 2010, in Vancouver, and was barely getting by at that salary. I can't imagine putting in 40 a

If you do well investing into a bubble, it just means you were a lesser fool, rather than the greater one that holds the investment when the bubble pops.

But you don't interact with your bank through apps on a PC. You interact with your bank through a web browser. And if you're like most people, that's the only secure application you have installed. Android and iOS devices foc

That's actually not true if you're using SI units for seconds. "The SI unit of time is the second (s): The second is the duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyper

Why? Why should people have to pay inflated prices for treatments that have been standard since the 90s? Edit: just to be clear, the price of Humalog, a patented analog, has increased in price by 700% in the last 20 years. This is not simpl

My understanding is that there are insulin analogs that are vastly better treatments, due to being faster acting. These analogs are still patented. However, even considering the patents, insulin prices for the same product are much higher i

Sounds like that practice would make resource lifetimes hard to reason about. And without defer, you don't have the opportunity to clean up resources if a goroutine panics.

The other commenter wasn't very kind towards you, but I'd definitely encourage you to use defer to get correct semantics around releasing resources. It's the best tool that the language gives you for that.

It errors because the type of `err` is `error`, not *formatError. That's why you are supposed to return the error interface, instead of a concrete type. The value ends up being a non-nil interface value that holds nil. To avoid encount

I mean, I notice that these assignments seem to assume that you are using C. Are you using C? You said that you have used PHP, Javascript and VB.Net. C is much harder to use than any of these, and exposes you to many concepts that these lan

I don't think that's a very fair argument. GP is paying for internet access. GP is accessing information, published on the public WWW, which is what GP paid to do. GP has the right to decide what information they want to download

If it takes a private corporation to fix the contaminated water problem in Flint, it's an utter disgrace and a pathetic failing of federal, state and municipal government. It's hard to understand how such abject failure can be all

As someone who writes server-side software, I'm very excited about this product. Having the ability to handle a large volume of random writes, relatively cheaply, makes building reliable, fully restartable software much simpler. Many s
