   pprof data via HTTP is part of the Go stdlib and is pretty close, good enough for 95% of cases. One could argue you need those tools less in a Go codebase anyway ;) AOT is mentioned and JIT is not relevant.

   Here's the BBC report on the matter: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c20g288yldko It applies to content stored using ADP, Apple's E2EE tech. A backdoor into that would mean applying a backdoor into i

   I think "total users" is shorthand for ubiquity. So a large number of questions for a tech that doesn't get used much might indicate immaturity.

   worst case Please tell me, in the industry, this is called a "rapid unscheduled descent". If it isn't, it should be! ;)

   I call it "Stackoverflowability". For every question you might have about mature tech, there'll be a list of similar relevant questions on SO that you can consult. The length of the list (and thus the probability of you find

   I agree, it's hard. I'm lucky that I work for a large org with a separate design department. They are the ones that initiate how our products present themselves to the user, both in terms of styling and user flow, and they spend t

   One more that has opened my eyes recently: Good, empathetic UI design is invaluable . Get a professional UI designer. Engineers are (in the main) appalling at it and will cost you time and sales.

    Moreover, David May at INMOS also created OCCAM for the transputer. Rob Pike credits OCCAM's channels as being the inspiration for those in Golang.

    Mackintyre is a professional historian whose work is based on first hand accounts so I think it can be taken as fact that many found him unpleasant. I found it interesting & surprising to read of his character, having (possibly like you

    Ben Mackintyre's book about Colditz reveals that Douglas Bader was actually a pretty unpleasant character, often tolerated by his peers at best, and often loathed by his subordinates whom he would bully. He was an outstanding pilot tho

    The "Tolstoy Problem" is an interesting phenomenon that occurs to me from time to time. Paraphrased, if I know I am close to death, maybe an hour away, and I know there's no time left to change things, how will I feel about m

    Children can be the best they can be at something, and have that thing generate no value to anybody else around them Except that the IOC generate billions in revenue so there obviously is value to a lot of people in it somewhere. The prob

    I just love how everyone suddenly becomes <insert_controversial_topic> experts <everywhere_on_social_media> and pour out their opinions that are purely based on their anecdotes and beliefs but nothing else. FIFY. It's all

    Sounds like you hit the 1/10. Which is great and I agree, very rewarding.

    I like that this works, but it would be nice if it could all be done in JRuby without the Java shim. It feels like adding a JRubySource here [0] shouldn't be too tricky. See the Kotlin one for an example. [0] https://github

    For a team, there are very clear goals: to make product that customers like, ... With respect, that goal is far from clear. How do you measure how much they like the product? Have we achieved more "likes" this sprint than last?

    2D languages are an under-researched area of SW dev, IMHO, But I applaud this effort. On the one hand, they can significantly reduce the cognitive effort expressing and understanding code with complex relationships, OTOH they're a bit

    And yet, with Go, I've never been more productive. edit: to be complete, design decisions, even 50 year old ones, are not absolutes, but trade-offs and subjective. Eg, is a GC more important than a highly-expressive type system? Depend
