Their business model is only revealed to us to the extent of what we can publicly observe, but otherwise unknown to both me and you. Like parent said, Apple is very secretive. There is nothing stopping them from having their hardware busine

Maybe they could take a gut check and realize that we might be faced with the grim reality that in the era of twitter and instant news via social media, we don't need these old establishment media orgs anymore. The fact that they all h

Other comments are missing out the other key point: go packages are sometimes imported for side effects, and this pattern is common enough in the community (although albeit slightly discouraged now). So unused imports can still impact your

Yeah, if you work for a company that has to run any kind of validation on addresses, you learn quickly most people cannot type their address in correctly at all . My take: Make it as dumb and straightforwardly painfully obvious as possibl

So you don't don't think any social network company is good, because they all do this to some extent, some more explicitly than others. On a different note, maybe I just see this differently. > “In this specific case, communi

Tangentially, but in a similar vein, this is my gripe with TypeScript: It leads you down a path that takes the best part of JavaScript out: namely it's dynamicity, and prototypical object orientation, and leaves you with a hamstrung, n
