I'm thankful for my parents. Growing up, I thought that my parents were needlessly strict and uncool and that all my friends had it better than me. Only once I was old enough to look at other parents from an adult perspective did I rea

This chart doesn't take into account the possibility of errors, though (unless you equate an error to wasted time, which is dubious). Even if you only need to run a command once a year, and it only involves a few short steps, it's

It's arguably more error-prone, e.g. Rob Pike justifies Go's decision to use curly braces like so: >Some observers objected to Go's C-like block structure with braces, preferring the use of spaces for indentation, in the s

I really can't stand how articles like this bury the actual information (in this case, basically just CBT) deep in anecdotes and other context that I don't care about. Is it just me, or has it gotten worse lately? Maybe in the Age

Hmm. I was hoping for something more definitive here, like "The masses of each particle are known to be correct to 5 decimal places. Even if we nudge each value as far as we can, the result is still slightly less than 2/3."

I used the method of Dr. John Sarno to rid myself of chronic wrist pain/RSI. I say "rid" instead of "cure" because Sarno's method claims that such pain is entirely psychogenic, and is thus addressed by psycholo

I've been writing Go for five years and I've never had a pressing need to create my own generic container type. The built-in types -- arrays, slices, maps, and channels, or some composition of them -- have proved sufficient. When

I'm glad I'm not the only one sad to see generics invading a perfectly good language. Programmers love generics because they enable higher-order abstractions, and programmers love abstractions -- code that isn't DRY is like a

Yeah, I ask because that's my personality type as well, and stress has manifested in a number of chronic physical symptoms for me (primarily wrist pain and gastro problems). Treating the symptoms as a signal, like "oh, I must be s

Do you have chronic pain or another chronic condition? I'm trying to find out if they're common among people who are non-confrontational, perfectionists, and generally suppress their emotions.

If you're implying that "import foo" always puts foo in scope, that's never been true -- the package name doesn't need to match the last element of the path. Granted, you can count on it being true in 90% of cases,

I'm relieved to see that the fate of Go is ultimately controlled by a small team of highly talented engineers, not a nebulous "community" that designs by democracy. If Go had been designed by community vote from the beginning

I love Go's value types. If you're careful/obsessive, you can write programs that don't allocate anything on the heap. That sort of power is really nice to have in a pinch.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I agree that this isn't the best use of Anki; I did it more as a way of testing how effective spaced repetition is. And in that respect, the experiment was a success, so now I feel confident using this sy

Low-level languages are almost always "hacking" languages, since direct hardware access inevitably brings with it a degree of unsafety. But the reverse is not true: "hacking" does not imply "low-level," as exem

The distinction between "hacking" and "protective" languages is a good one. If you want to be balanced as a programmer, you need to deeply understand at least one language in both categories. Protective languages are won

[]byte is crucial if you need to frequently modify the contents. The classic example is building a string with a loop that appends a new character on each iteration. Using += to concatenate strings inside such a loop will be slow; the Right
