I am glad this still exists, it's helped me out a lot while living and working in Africa for the past month. Sometimes I don't have access to a fast connection. That being said, a lot of other Google products are awful across sl

email.site@domain.com is at least a distinct email address, unlike using +. Especially if you use different passwords for each account, it means if one of the emails is compromised then the attacker can't use it to recover passwords of

That does nothing to increase the security of your accounts, since effectively the email address is the same.

I think another article (perhaps on Synthopia) stated the tempo was 190 bpm or thereabouts, so definitely 8ths.

Endorsements serve a purpose for LinkedIn. They keep users coming back to the site when they receive the "X has endorsed you for Y" emails. You can tell endorsements are mostly for LinkedIn's benefit when you notice they don&

I agree this is a big problem. I've had cases where I'm still reviewing stuff but the person whose code was under review just fixed my first few comments and then submitted it while I was still writing the rest. I know this is par

This is also possible to a degree in Python, though you only get the bytecode: >>> def f(x): ... return x * x ... >>> import dis >>> print dis.dis(f) 2 0 LOAD_FAST

I did this when starting a new job as well. I used (and still use) XMind. Now that I'm a bit more familiar with things I find myself using it less than I did at the beginning, but it's great for rapid brain dumps.

It's not that "they" aren't listening. There's a limited number of developers working on the language, there are many other problems being solved. So far despite all the people lamenting the lack of generics in Go I

Well, we do have maglev trains such as the ones in Shanghai. I could be wrong but I think the main benefit is the vehicle doesn't need to overcome rolling resistance, making it easier to accelerate and allowing faster travel.

Can your engine run at 15,000 rpm? Also your engine has to last the lifetime of the car. F1 drivers are allowed 8 engines a season. Obviously totally different design goals.

On the other hand if they and everybody else knew the whereabouts of their abusive partner, wouldn't that actually contribute to their safety?

This can solved by containerization.

Yes, though for an internal project so I can't share it here. Go is pretty well suited for building REST APIs and combines quite easily with a front-end JS app built in Angular.

You might want to take a look at Leanpub ( https://leanpub.com ) if you haven't already. Seems like it may suit you.

The spreadsheet example is an interesting one. I'm aware of several domain-specific products that target very niche markets, particularly in the scientific space, that are essentially little more than glorified spreadsheets. However co

Note that the discussion in question dates back to 2010, before the existence of cgo. Go now has quite good C interoperability. And Go can now do unsafe memory access and manual management using the "unsafe" package.

You think it's a massive jump? I'm pretty sure a novice programmer could go from one to the other spending a full day on it, especially with the help of SO or tutorials. 8 hours is a lot of time if you are focused.
