I know people meme a lot about Go and "not having generics," but I really feel that a lot of the things left out of Go have benefitted it. I've never really been able to jump into a project without a lot of mental overhead. W

There have been a number of improvements in the latest PHP versions, especially in terms of performance. There's still artifacts of past PHP versions that are there, though, which makes it far less nice to use than something more moder

Weird, I just realized I never use the right shift key.

yeah. I tried switching to using my gaming desktop with WSL. I used an X server to run a terminal emulator that isn't terrible so I could get the best of Linux and Windows without having to reboot. Add in zsh auto completion and then i

I'll answer from my perspective. I don't hate generics. I see the value of generics, especially after having worked with Go for so long; I've had to do some mental gymnastics to get around not having proper generic collection

Another thing that is really obnoxious is how there is now an inconsistency with how it's implemented. Some phones use a pass-through system so USB-C headphones connect directly to the phone's amplifier / DAC (digital-to-anal

I work for a news company right now. Or rather, the parent company of a local news, similar to Gannett (the company that was mentioned in the article). I've found that we have a lot of freedom, and we've recently deployed a redesi

Hmm yeah I think that would be a good option. One potential problem with that is running tests on the individual packages. I believe that the vendor folder would have to be in a descendant folder. So like... "./vendor", or &

github.com/golang/dep is actually an already fantastic (and official) solution.

I think you misunderstand. If I have project A, which imports dependency A. I (for faster tests is the only real answer), decided to commit the vendor folder. Now, in project B, if I import a package of project A, which uses dependency A, i

It is certainly a fantastic solution, and I definitely appreciate the work that Sam Boyer and the `dep` contributors do. There's a lot of "gotya"s with using dep though. One that gets me a lot is the fact that I like to commi

I worry that a lot of developers who have been using languages like Java or C# see Go and immediately feel the need to point out that Go doesn't support language features that they've come to rely on, and so they see that as a wea

I agree with you. I think most people, including me, would answer the question as, "What do they want to hear?", and not, "What answer is most relevant to me?"

Fair enough; this is the apparently kind of storytelling I don't enjoy. I misinterpreted and assumed that this was supposed to be informative, and not entertaining.

Yeah but at least you have some ideas laid out for you. I'm always looking for a side project, but I never know what people need.

I agree about that specific example, but I think a lot of people are missing the point. > Developers own the products they build for customers, and charge a monthly fee for access. So, what you're seeing is what a single user is exp

That's what I was thinking. I was reading the several about pages, and as someone who has never been introduced to any of these concepts, nothing really seems to describe what the software actually accomplishes.

Microsoft doesn't plan on replacing Windows with this, right? They are just going to use this on lower-cost machines by obsoleting win32 apps? If not, this seems like a really bad move.

Is this comparable to achieving a similar effect with caffeine? I know whenever I get into the office, I don't feel nearly as productive or good at solving problems as I do whenever I drink an energy drink or a coffee. Strictly anecdot

No one has to put up with this though. Use free software and gain control over your computer again.

Thank you for your detailed and helpful response. I wholeheartedly agree with your first point. I was honestly worried that I was approaching "slippery slope" territory. Really what I intended to show by the "historical&quo
