Start the autonomous car, let it send a "punch the clock" event to work. Status: 1) Remote 2) in office 3) working, in route? Additionally, only accept meetings when status is 3).

If golang has this much interest in mascot images, then game over. Time to start writing all services in golang. Sorry c# and Rust, you just don't have the same swaggage. Screw generics.

Well that's a driver for golang for sure. Additionally, while we're complaining about golang not measuring up to our programming sensibilities, the people who write us checks want 1) correct, 2) on time, and 3)in budget. If golang

Why Dalga instead of of some other job scheduler? Because all service software will eventually be rewritten in golang, apparently ;). Don't hate the player.

The back story for electricity is peer grid and arbitrage techniques. Power grid should be just like the internet - every endpoint can produce as well as consume services. Would this allow for grid defection? Don't know, but it will ra

Well obviously that should be a backlog item to grow a user community by allowing users to upload modules.

Reminds me of the movie "Repo Man." Harry Dean Stanton says "let's go get a drink." They go into a quick mart and they find six packs of white cans labeled "Drink" and that's it.

>Order the rug pad for your booth at trade shows. Old MSFT trick from Comdex/Windows World days. Everybody was always standing at their cubes because they used double pads under the carpet.

If one of the intended features of a language is that it can be picked up quickly, that certainly helps. I'd suggest that this is a feature of golang and historically modula-2.

Getting downvoted on this board can sometimes be a mark of distinction. And anybody who complains about golang not having generics is a wimpy whiner, IMO. And as has been said before on this board, Hail Satan.

Nah, too mild for True Detective - maybe severed babies' heads, or dead babies wearing severed goats' heads. This would be more of an x-file, IMO. And wherever you could place DeVito would be entertaining.

Oh yeah, I remember. I was at Sheppard a couple of times. Was just trying to remember if any B52's were there. If not, most everything else sure was flying into that base.

Cut with a top shelf rum to counteract this condition. Mt Gay Black Barrel, Goslings, or Zaya to suggest a few.

I love how Wilford Brimley was probing the alien with a pencil, then starts tapping his lips with the same pencil. The Thing is a true classic.

Hah good info. So far Fredericks is the only resource for my girl. Jenette was also in T2 and that odd ball vampire movie where some of the crew from Aliens were re-united. Don't recall seeing her in anything else. Invariably whenever

Obligatory cynicism: The point of the "War on Drugs" is to perpetuate the "War on Drugs." It's a jobs program, a funding program, and serves government's natural desire to grow and control. From this point of v

Whatever Google's motive, this does help the internet to fully self-realize: every endpoint should be able to both consume and provide services. I don't care if it's a phone or a tablet, or a smart toaster.

This is Nick Carr's "The Big Switch" in reverse as I predicted years ago. It used to be the case that centralized distribution was cheaper, than, as described in the book, every factory having its own water wheel power plant.

Haha no doubt. After yet another ortho surgery due to meathead stupidery, I was doing PT with "Big Sexy" Kevin Nash the tv wrestler. On GH, he said "It's the fountain of youth, baby."

Back in the 80's DTACK Grounded and Micro Cornucopia, then later Computer Language and DrDobbs (remember those Cauzin soft strips?). Now I just depend on HN posters to TLDR stuff for me unless a subject really grabs me.

To your comment, (I haven't read the article) every endpoint should have server functionality. Even if it's a phone. That's how the internet should work, IMO.
