The referee is supposed to stop the fight when one of the fighters becomes unable to defend himself.

Well, not for everything. If you're working with scientific data, the lack of NaN and Inf can be problematic. Not that HOCON solves that.

It seems that you think that following the law is the right thing to do. That's an understandable point of view. But there's also something called civil disobedience. Sometimes the will of the commons should trump law. Is this one

You think that putting stuff on the public internet entitles you to compensation? Why?

I don't see how that relates to Go pointers.

Package unsafe is in the spec, but converting unsafe.Pointer to uintptr (which is how I'm supposing you'd do your pointer arithmetic) is implementation-defined. This means I could create a perfectly legal implementation of Go wher

Well, it depends whether the time spent copying the bytes for the function invocation is less than the time spent garbage-collecting objects that are passed as pointers, and then following those pointers. So as you can imagine, it's hi

In Go, strings are internally a header that contains a length and a pointer. The bytes of the string itself are heap allocated.

They're not the same. Go doesn't have pointer arithmetic, and Go functions can safely return pointers to values that aren't created via new(). https://play.golang.org/p/m3OdaXH98_

Having explicit pointers gives you more control over allocation. As you mention, Go is a GC language, and there are no guarantees of whether allocation will occur on the stack or the heap. But generally, non-pointer values will be stack-all

I think society needs to reject these complexes. Personally I refuse to live or work anywhere like this. I pay a hefty premium for this attitude, but I'm betting it will mean a better life for me.

Your code doesn't contain the definition of Foo and Fooer but I'll assume Foo is a concrete type and Fooer is an interface that Foo satisfies. The reason that []Foo is not the same as []Fooer is simple: they are different data typ

I've been developing Go apps for 4 years now. So far this has never happened to me. I do agree it's a possibility, if a callee was to do a type assertion or something.

This is flamebait. There's nothing actionable here, just a rant. The only takeaway I can see is that I should avoid Ubuntu because its founder no longer believes in its core mission. :(

What? Why can't you just cook a meal for one? Chicken breast and veggies takes like 15 minutes.

Comments like this are not very useful. If the post hits the front, lots of people obviously found it relevant.

Not the parent to your comment but I'll chime in here. Heroin is more dangerous than cigarettes, since the threshold for overdose is so low. So, probably not a great thing to be able to buy at a gas station. Personally, I think heroin

If you investigate what they actually do to achieve those numbers, it's much less simple than just rewriting Cassandra in C++. For example, they use their own TCP stack and make use of vector intrinsics.

> destructive in almost all cases of use. Demonstrably false. The vast majority of opioid users are recovering from surgery, taking Tylenol 3, etc. You're basically just talking out of your butt here.

Right - the control flow is explicit, and works the same as regular control flow.
383.
by echlebek 10y ago
Because Go considers errors to be values, and exceptions are control flow.

It's only effectively realizable if I move to a different city, so yes, I did complain about that. I want real estate prices to stabilize.

Millennial here. I just got the property assessment notice on my modest 1 bedroom condo. The "value" of it has gone up by $200,000 (around 30%) in the last two years according to the assessment office. So I can expect a nice fat t

I'm not sure why I should use this and give up typed channels when I could easily implement the same logic on my own?

Sorry but that's ridiculous. Al Gore's "Inconvenient Truth" laid out the facts in an easily consumable way for the public over 10 years ago. We have photography showing massive ice loss over the poles. We have solid data
