This is correct, but they quickly pivoted to targeting the Python codebases. Rob Pike has a talk where he talks about how Google used C++ and C to rewrite hot Python paths and how they wanted Go to be able to completely replace that whole p

I don't think most of this is true... the Go core team is at least 20ish people, and that's just engineers not PMs, Managers, or other support staff. Plus the tools and kubernetes/gcloud teams. It's also kind of disingen

Nothing you're saying is wrong, but your perspective is totally off. For someone experienced with C++, or say, Rust (ahem), obviously Go is a bit backwards when it comes to concurrency and race conditions. Obviously you can mimic go&#x

Jumpcloud can help with those things, we're an entirely cloud based directory and our system agent is OS agnostic. We also integrate with Jamf and other MDM solutions if you need more complexity. Disclosure: Jumpcloud employee. My emai

I am extremely imperfect and a hypocrite on many levels. I never practice what I preach, and if I'm being honest I can't say what I'd do if I had an offer from a company like Facebook or Google that promised to completely cha

Said this yesterday in the other Facebook thread, and I'll say it again. Working for Facebook is a morally bankrupt position. If you are an engineer you have plenty of job opportunities available to you and there is no excuse for you t

A reminder that if you work for Facebook you are fully complicit. Especially if you're an engineer, there should be no shortage of jobs available to you at this time. There is no excuse to work for a company that's sole focus is e

As someone who just went to gophercon I'm still confused why they're tackling error handling first, and then generics. I would imagine tackling errors in Go 2.1 with the help of generics would make for a much much cleaner solution

For large, sprawling cities like Denver, Orlando, Nashville, Omaha, etc etc mean rent is almost useless. In Denver $1800 will get you a studio in desirable places to live, and will only get you a 2 BR out in deep suburbia or developments th

Except javascript's design is completely antithetical to those use cases. It has no type system, its performance is hard to profile and reason about, single threaded (unless you want to start forking and managing threads in javascript.

I don't mean to be a downer here but you're essentially saying that paying for someone else's asset depreciation costs is cheaper than paying for your own asset depreciation costs plus the remaining value on a car. The reason

This is, of course, because technology has brought those costs down. Or in the case of education, government subsidies have made college "free". Not because living wages or the economy have improved.

environment namespacing != dependency management Regardless of your setup at the end of the day you're using pip to solve your dependency graph, and have been for over a decade.

Agreed. Dep had its warts (20 minutes for a very simple dep ensure...), but it solved the 80% use case in a way that was least objectionable for the majority. The fact that they can't (won't?) even refactor dep to suit their new i

I've been hearing this argument for about 4 years now. Pointing out that .NET has terrible dependency management does nothing for me when Google's main languages (Python, Java, C++) all have solved dependency management for their

How many iterations of this do we have to go through? Go hasn't had mature dependency management since its inception and this constant thrash is really starting to make things difficult. For all practical purposes dependency management
