I'm looking forward to seeing these types of libraries improve with generics. It's notably more work to use these data structures, even if they are used rarely.

The built-in types map, chan, array, and slice take type parameters, and they are usually sufficient for doing whatever you need to do. It's incredibly great that, generally speaking, if I'm looking at Go code, the only kind of ha

FWIW, I downvoted the GP comment, in hopes that it will not be the top thread in this discussion, even though I agree with the moderation.

Police have been doing this for years with "science". Bite mark analysis, blood spatter analysis, lie detector tests, it's all total hooey. They don't care as long as the convictions keep rolling in. https://e

Almost certainly. Iteration is around 40x slower in Python than in a compiled language, last I checked.

I don't think this was just a case of statistics where someone caught a bad break. He had no workable plan for surviving out there, and he had no resources for self rescue. In my mind, a good outcome would have been the statistical odd

I'm not really sure his right to die in the wilderness is what's most pertinent about his case though. Those of us who have wilderness experience should caution others who don't to prepare and educate themselves, instead of j

At Revelstoke there is a particular part of the ski boundary that has signs like this. Something to the effect of "there is a cliff beyond these trees, and people have died here, go no further".

A 1 GHz Cortex-8 is a ton of computing power. The proof of this is iOS itself. When you bring the GPU into the mix, it's obviously capable of a lot as an operating system. There are no problems displaying high resolution static content

It's completely pointless to read privacy policies or really any EULA because they can change at any time. Sometimes they change monthly. It doesn't matter if they are easy to read or not, and it doesn't matter if they are si

Luckily, you don't have to hold up the US as a bastion to criticize China. They can both be criticized independently.

Well, maybe. My Thinkpad experience has been good, but not amazing. I own two Thinkpads, a 5th generation X1 carbon and a 2nd generation X1 extreme. Both very nice machines, but not perfect. On the newer machine in particular, the X1 extrem

I've maintained a few codebases that relied directly on stdlib time in ways that were hard to write tests for. Sometimes the code works reliably, but tests are flaky, due to the author using time.Sleep in tests, or something else to pa

FYI, you can use the same keyboard combination to zoom spotify as you would for your web browser. It looks fine after that.

I have to say, the gently threatening tone of this article really rubs me the wrong way. And it coincides with "stay in town or take a pay cut" rhetoric that was on my feed earlier today, from Facebook. (Despite this development,

For a variety of reasons, I only use Firefox. I recently dumped Spotify for Google music. The user experience was just not good enough. Each morning, I would sit at my desk, and press play in the browser tab that Spotify was running in. Not

I think it's a little unfair to characterize GP's comment as sniping. Race conditions don't necessarily involve schedulers, or CPUs operating on memory locations. It's true that concurrent processes that work correctly w
