Why not? But seriously, it's of great benefit to Go programmers to have a font that shares the same license as Go itself. Most fonts are not so unencumbered.

Font licensing is complicated and Chuck is a friend. It was very important to us that Go programmers be unencumbered when distributing programs that use this font.

There's not really any information in this article, unfortunately. I know the FBI don't want to tip their hand, but I am genuinely curious to know more details about how they are investigating crimes online.

My highlighting scheme is to very slightly dim comments, because they tend to be more dense than code. For example: http://imgur.com/a/bxfBO

Or, if everyone used the same time zone, you just write down "Mary's work hours are 1:00-9:00," and then you know whether or not you can interrupt them.

Not in the context of drugs, but I find I am at my best when my mind is calm. I find it hard to be happy or productive when my mind is racing.

In my experience, the road to personal satisfaction at a corporation is to take pride in doing a great job, taking each day at a time. If at the end of each day you can say you did quality work of which you are proud, then you're doing

That's one of the things that made Philip K. Dick a brilliant futurist author. His tales focused on the social problems of the people in speculative futures.

A better way of looking at this is to be honest with your employer about your happiness in your role. Feel like you're not paid enough? Not challenged? Difficulty with teammates or manager? Raise these issues. If you are not taken seri

I don't think so. As programmers, we have to think logically, and in this situation there really is no other logical way of thinking about how that code might work.

> Go's "problem" is that it can't efficiently give i a new address in each iteration: it'd have to put each one in a new memory location. It's not an efficiency issue. How do you think Ruby does it?

by enneff 10y ago
How would this make any sense, though? In the case of "range" I can see the confusion, but when you explicitly declare a variable and increment it for each iteration of the loop, the only way it can work is if there's one ins

It's stereo in the sense that there's a speaker on the top and bottom of the phone, so that when watching media with the phone in landscape orientation you can hear good stereo audio. I'm not aware of another phone that does

Are you being sarcastic? Because one of the failure modes of a rocket is to explode. It is unfortunate, but not unexpected. It's basically unavoidable for any rocket manufacturer, and certainly not a cause to condemn SpaceX.

I always thought it was a clever play on "Go-for-JS". If not, you should change the backstory retroactively! ;-)

It was more expedient to start with the Plan 9 tool chain that we had at the time. Ken was already familiar with the code base, which was small and compiled quickly (a few seconds). Because of this we got a lot done quickly, knowing that we

I find it funny that she mentions Gravity as an example of a film with little dialogue. My biggest complaint about the movie was that it had entirely too much dialogue. So much pointless, clichéd exposition about the characters, as if Bul

I think the bad mastering of many early CDs is mostly because mastering engineers didn't know how to master CDs. They were still employing the same techniques they'd been using for vinyl, where they were hardly applicable. (I thin

Because that would be a different language altogether, and that language exists: Rust. It's pretty cool.
