The need to show an ID to purchase real pseudoephedrine (feels like an oxymoron to write that) can be a legitimate PITA. I am American who lives abroad but is frequently back in the U.S. for family reasons. I suffer from sinus problems, s

If you’re like most Go developers, you probably haven’t given much thought to what happens when you run go test in a project. You just take for granted that it works and your tests run (irrespective of whether they pass or not — though hope

Indeed. I never played it on Windows 95, but I spent a lot of time playing it on Windows 3.1 (and probably 3.0). This looks essentially like the Windows 3.x version.

Small question: I recall there being a named term for organizations that outlive their usefulness and sometimes become parasitic on their original mission. Is this the same as the Shirky Principle? I was introduced to this term many years

The Context API in Go has a fair bit of subtlety, yet it is an extensible and robust API capable of enabling correct distributed system design and making concurrency appear synchronous. In this article, I analyze how the API's document
