A warning to the reader: only a small fraction of the readings are actually available inline as PDFs; the rest seem to come from a handout which is not provided and the textbook Essentials of Game Theory . Otherwise, seems like a cool fora

It was basically a CRUD API as a service; simple object storage and retrieval via HTTP, with goodies like validation and nested routes (joins) and such built in.

I think kaoD's point is that more code will always produce more errors, and more code (in the name of "readability") can give more surface area for bugs.

A great quote, and a great interpretation at the bottom.

I think you mean "I believe Go will get generics." Rust already has generics: https://doc.rust-lang.org/beta/book/generics.html . I certainly hope the Go authors can find an implementation of generics wit

I mean, you _can_ if you organize your code such that you can. For example, Google's monorepo lets maintainers of a library find all internal usages and fix them. This is one of the benefits Dan Luu notes in http://danluu.co

Definitely agree – the polyglot aspect can also be useful for companies where different parts of their problem fit different tools. However, exercising proper software discipline and using languages with good/existent module systems, l

Another example in this vein is Henry Ford's $5 work day – wages dramatically above then-market rates prompted outrageous enthusiasm and loyalty from workers. http://www.henryford150.com/5-a-day/

How is Apple Car clearly a bet-the-company level product for Apple? It could just be Apple's normal secrecy, but as far as I know that project isn't generally well-known enough to be mentioned in the same pantheon as Google or Tes

Yep, you're totally right. Reread a couple times and the crux of the matter seems to lie here: "Unlike with C, in Go there is no way to know if a connection is readable, other than to actually try to read data from it."

Instead of supplying a buffer to each read call itself, you can use something like a sync.Pool which will give metered and concurrency-safe access to a buffer: https://golang.org/pkg/sync/#Pool .

Also love how he aliases `str.split` to `Keypad` so you can see the intention of his semantics that much more easily. And the assertion of keypad[2][2], as a quick reference point for himself. The whole thing is just so eminently understand

Out of interest, why did you guys design the system to perform filtration at the application layer instead of generating SQL for filtering and pushing that into the DB?

Can you implement analytics on top of those flags, plus a nice UI for nontechnical employees to toggle them faster? If you don't need those, then you probably aren't in their target audience. Disclaimer: no relation, just playing

While time is down, it's the time of a hypothetical user entering the command, not the time at which commands actually affect data in the table. I think that's pretty intuitively clear to the reader, especially since the article i

Sorry, my ability to edit the title expired - but maybe dang can add it. Yeah, this definitely belongs in the essentials. Lots of developers treat transactions as a race condition panacea. This article is a nice case study about how express

Sounds really interesting! Have you written anywhere about how you got involved in that? I'd be curious to know how one sells into the airline industry. When you say "not safety related in any way", do you mean that your code
