You're saying that airlines/delivery services like UPS don't plan and prepare for air disasters... That's laughable frankly. Anyone who operates a whole fleet of 767 has a plan in case of a crash. That's the most el

Total loss of shipment is a valid concern in the supply chain and transport industries... Remember also that the total loss of the plane impacts more that this single flight. Like airlines, I am sure it had an utilisation schedule, and now

I do know 3 people on board died, and yes that's tragic. But is there a need to comment to say and repeat it again and again? This is really the fake, superficial side of social media I hate. The disaster planning and recovery angle se

Hopefully they have a contingency plan to keep those Prime parcels on time. Edit: They must have contingency plans for such scenarios. That's part of the job. But I think that it is not possible to keep to the initial schedule, so I&#x

Something is 'outdated' only if there is better in some way. The article makes rather clear that pagers is not outdated yet in emergency situations. This actually raises the question of a replacement in these situations.

We're discussing 'good naming' as defined in the article and first comment of this comments thread: > 2.1. Choose identifiers for clarity, not brevity Cosmetic considerations like snake or camel case are irrelevant. The ad

Again, there is nothing "idiomatic" is poor naming, nor do I see what open source has to do with it...

I would argue that how the actual service is implemented (microservice, monolith, etc) is not relevant to the design of APIs.

Naming conventions are part of your own practices and processes. There is no issue with having short names to describe well-known entities part of the language, or trivial code. Your example from pkg.bufio is trivial and but still the varia

The point is that you do not choose the way to name variables based on a sheepish "it's the way the community does it". You're responsible for your own code, and your organisation's code. It has nothing to do with t

I'm sure there are many actual professionals using Go. Not just script kiddies. I happen to be learning Go coming from a C background. I find "The Go Programming Language" by Donovan and Kernighan exemplary and the decades of

Says who? This sounds like teenagers at school... Not like the people who actually created the language and who are notable experts.

Since when are variables names a language issue? There is no such thing as "Java length like names", or whatever. There are good practices and bad practices and they are universal.

This is encapsulation, really, and simply makes the point that the principle applies to packages.

Totally ineffective and counterproductive. Doing what you suggest would not necessarily have any impact on emissions (as they might just shift to another country) while ensuring that 1.3 billion people remain poor and that their country rem

Are there any decent password managers that do not charge monthly fees? I don't mind paying to buy a good tool but the Saas model is getting out of hand.

Well, of course as the mainland develops Hongkong loses its relative weight. This was expected and unavoidable. Let's not forget that Hongkong was boosted in the first place by people and companies fleeing the communists, but the histo

Well, my question is more relevant and useful than quoting the date of the document (which anyone can read in the document) without adding anything else. Let's move on, as clearly you won't provide any reply.

Are cryptocurrencies any use as currencies? No.

by entity345 8y ago
Do you think sound C coding practices have changed since?
87.
by entity345 8y ago
A problem, imo is that these cryptocurrencies are pieces of software developped by anybody. This means a new one popping up every month... Which in turn means that they are useless as currency.

It's perhaps worth noting that the subspecies of elephants used, the North African Elephant, was driven to extinction during Roman times...
