It's got a lot of gotchas and is not intended to be a simple replacement for map+mutex (certainly not in this case).

Another similar and esoteric one: I also look at the pedigree (the people behind the project). For example, Golang caught my interest because of Pike, Thompson and Kernighan and I'm a big fan of their prior work. Adopting a new languag

I suspect in some professions hubris is so important that people who tend to be humble simply don't make it in them. For example, Chuck Yeager complained about the arrogance of test pilots and I've heard a couple of times surgeon

I started using X1 Carbon 6th recently and it's an amazing little machine. Extremely portable (a 14" that weighs 2.5 lbs and fits in a 13" sleeve), great keyboard, great Linux support, good display, and it runs very cool (the

Emacs, for the following reasons: 1) Key chords/features have become a second nature. I've tried using Idea when working on legacy Scala/Java codebases and its Emacs compatibility mode caused a lot of frustration: enough key

I think the rise of social media could be a key factor. We become slaves to our photo streams and fall into the arms race of who's got a cooler vacation photo set. Otherwise why would we suffer through huge crowds and lines everywhere

Modern Russian TV is full of crazy hoaxes that people are quick to believe. The difference is that they are manufactured by the state at scale as part of its "hybrid warfare" campaigns (currently in Syria and Ukraine), as opposed

But that means you can't make valid conclusions relying on natural language alone. Before mathematicians get to play with abstract concepts, they rigorously define and prove them. Philosophers also want to make conclusions about abstr
