I'm going to get stabbed in a dark alleyway for this, but I would argue that most Go projects don't benefit from being perfectly go-ish. It's a small, simple, language that is terrifically pragmatic. Write code that's cl

Completely anecdotal but I intentionally took a number of sociology courses (despite majoring in a vastly different field) and this was my impression as well. While many of the 101 and low-level courses were closer to 50/50 higher leve

Thoughtful piece by Allison J Pugh. I think it's important to work to understand all genders, and I feel that if we continue to focus on only certain genders as we attempt to reform our society we will only reproduce the same historica

With the latest trend of hiring employees who are already masters of their craft, it really becomes a process of regurgitation. You don't train up new employees, you hire them. Thus no job growth IMO.

"Don't hire Bouncingsoul1 for new devops position" got it! Just kidding, your absolutely right. I just think we need to find a good way to communicate this to kids in an understandable way.

As long as programming remains the single most reliable way to raise your socio-economic status, I don't think anyone can argue against teaching it to kids.

My early impressions of New Relic were that they were a really fast and easy way to correlate all the default logging of the web application stack. I imagine Netflix would want something a little deeper and more customized then this, also d

That was without a doubt one of the worst start-up horror stories I have ever read. It was so bad that I went back and edited this comment four times. Complete ineptitude by ever facet of the company, and I'm sure to this day each memb

I think he's talking about more complex list comprehensions then just the traditional for-loop + map setup. I haven't been in Python land for awhile but I remember some atrocious contraptions of 80+ line comprehensions that could

I think this is more a flaw of the authoritarian nature of larger web frameworks. They can't cater to every use case and have to be opinionated in certain areas. In Django's case I would say their Authentication model was an opini

I don't think this is really the right medium to ask that question. You'll find certain topics (Golang, Django, Unicorns) get up voted heavily on Hacker news and I think this indicates a bias that'll hurt discussions like you

When you have to implement things in a "large" language after writing a similar one in Go you'll find yourself coding with a very minimalistic set of objectives. It's a Go-flavored pythonism of sorts. Things like explici

I can't comment on MapBox's pricing as I haven't explored it yet. All I remember is that for the projects where I implemented Google maps, the pricing model wasn't sustainable for the upper bounds of projected user growt

Why are these posts down voted? It should be the responsibility of the OP to post an accessible article. Maybe we should start posting the google search link instead of the paywalled link?

Your last part is spot on for me. Writing Golang indeed made me a better Python programmer.

I feel like the gamification of education is a double edged sword. It can get rather cheesy and I imagine it would turn some kids off to learning, as I was from some of the videos / workbooks / whatever I was exposed to in middle

I cannot recommend the book Boomerang by Michael Lewis enough. He examines what several countries (Greece, Ireland, Iceland, Germany, the United States) did between 2000-2012 when they were allowed to barrow vast sums of money with little o

I've seen the phenomenon on Reddit where two identical comments will have completely polar votes. One might have -50 and the other 50. Someone deduced that it was the time that the comment was created that mattered. If a large number o

I haven't gotten a chance to use the product yet, but from what I've heard it's really solid. I've implemented Google maps before and frankly it was a very basic experience with a completely unsustainable pricing model.

Seems like a great tool for wrangling Go's stack trace. Particularly relevant if you're running a large number of go routines since when they panic you'll console will blow up.

Your post makes me think of that recent (laptop?) commercial where the kid is going off to college, but is also starting a company, with the final scene being a teleconference where the kids presumably receive funding from some investors. I

I read a post on reddit the other day that left vs right is really a horse shoe. That the far left and far right are very close to each other. I thought it was fairly intuitive.
