That was my question as well. But I think the article says the scientists didn't know if something in the lunar soil would actively inhibit plant growth. It looks like the answer is no, and you can use it as an effective substrate for

I really relate to the author's story and I don't see it as them claiming to be superior to their coworkers. I read it instead as a story about silicon valley companies tend to focus a lot on image over substance. They crate these

The one thing I would note is that most of the problems with channels seem to fall into the type where incorrect ordering causes a blocking channel operation that will never complete. Channels are definitely hard things to get right in go

No, that's not what's being tested here. It's testing how the server itself handles managing 100k clients connected simultaneously. Most of those connections are idle most of the time -- but that's still a situation tha
