There's a typo in the title of the second 'chapter'. "That’s great. But wa/s/ has all this got to do with web design?"

Interesting read for sure. And certainly nice to see Go being subjected to some real-world use. About the need to represent the CKAN ORM in Go, in order to get some useful JSON deserialization going; I have found this be to useful myself in

Being over 30 myself, I find Khan Academy useful as well. Even if it's just to quickly brush up on a subject I happen to need and forgot all about.

If I were hiring, you would qualify. Under the sole condition that, whenever you were to speak, you would use that language form.

I would wager it's also an issue of corporate politics. If these leaves are capable of creating a sustainable in-house power generator, you will have no more need to buy electricity from your local provider. (Or at least in significantly re

I am very surprised MS is allowing this project to exist. Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't there a real threat that MS is going to come down on this with the rage of a thousand suns? Don't get me wrong, I'm all for an open source alte

I'm not a big fan of Ubuntu spin offs, but this one at least has the merit of booting very quickly. The 'lightweight' label is not misplaced. I did find some bugs in the UI. Most notably the layout of the "Run Everything" menu (tab headers)

Of course. If the supplier of their input is a third party, I will even go so far as to file the appropriate bug reports with said third party for them.

I couldn't agree more with this. I may be overdoing it a bit here, but personally I don't agree with Torvald's p.o.v. at all. While user experience is obviously important, allowing mistakes like this to go unchallenged by simply providing a

I don't mean to be nit-picky, but if you make a router store data so it can do its job, then it is by definition designed to store data. Even of that is not its main purpose. Something as simple as the configuration files for the router (or

It looks nice and clean. A quick note though: Hitting the 'Change' button in the modal dialog does not get rid of the page overlay, making everything inaccessible. (Chrome 10)

For me this was something I missed when I started with Go about a year ago (at that point my brain was still filled with years of C# dogma). I was not very familiar with Go's own way of doing things back then. Go may seem familiar at first

I have a lot of Go packages and apps on my github repos. Nothing really very big (yet), but mostly 'scratching my itch' stuff. I do thoroughly enjoy writing Go code, which is why I stick with it. A large project where I can use it will pres

Add to that the fact that the other reactors there have stood up to a 9.1 quake with about 600 aftershocks -- ranging from mild to "I'm a pretty decent disaster all by myself" -- A sizable tidal wave and numerous fires with hydrogen explosi

Considering the rather flamboyant and slightly misleading title of the article, I can see why a summary could be useful.

This is the reason why I occasionally do answer question on YA! If nobody comes in to fix the obvious errors, it will always be full of nonsense. The real danger is that the site is used buy a lot of young people who will consistently walk

I've solved my burnout problems slightly differently. I too made the conscious choice to stop pressuring myself into performing above and beyond what I was able to deliver and decided that my programming work was hence forth strictly going

Interesting set of documents. Most of it isn't new to me, but I did find the chapter on character encodings interesting. Hope to see more of that. "i18n and l10n are big topics in themselves. For example, they cover issues such as colours:

Good to see a great tool like this getting some well deserved publicity. It is most definitely my tool of choice for architectural work of any kind. I have been using it for this purpose since before @Last was acquired by Google, so I had t

I like it. Performs well and it's entertaining. Although I must admit I have some difficulty getting my right and left hand to accurately control both characters at the same time. That's not so much an issue with the game as it is with my l

On the other hand, you may just want to patent something to prevent exactly that from happening. Holding a patent does not require you to make money off of it, but it does prevent others from doing so. It's a bit sad that one has to go this

Nice article. A quick note though. Channels in Go are not used for Inter Process Communication, they are for communication and synchronization of data between functions. From Go's spec: "A channel provides a mechanism for two concurrently e

I do hope their promises of not contaminating the ecology will hold up in those undoubtedly very harsh conditions. Would be a shame to waste all those years of drilling by introducing foreign 'samples' into the mix.

This is certainly an amazing piece of work.

Someone should file a bug report, cos that is obviously a design flaw.

I've been using Go for various things for quite a while now. I do love the language. If I would use it for any serious large scale project? Perhaps not just yet. There are still some wrinkles that need ironing out. Most notably: Go's GC. Th
