I want to like Go but recent discussions such as the one about exception/error/panic conditions and handling (and those versus flow control) make me concerned that they have learned the wrong lessons from predecessors. Perhaps still worth l

That is what I intended to convey with "scared to death" which in English is used colloquially to mean "terrified". I appreciate that translation is likely the intended meaning. I gave both translations because the term used was "livrädd"

One cannot really make the judgment on this being a "smear" or not at this point: to include it in the title is irresponsible at best. The circumstances seem a bit odd (two assaults so close to eachother without a previous history) which co

Technically WiMAX and LTE are not 4G technologies. LTE-Advanced is to be.

Correction suggestion: "3G" in the United States is a crock. So is "4G", which as far as I understand is not actually even LTE/WiMax in some places (which themselves are pre-4G). .eu side, at least, things are a bit clearer.

That is an awful argument. Can you imagine what software would look like if people took that approach with everything? Development would have ground to a halt decades ago.

ANT is not a single standard as such. Manufacturers had their own incompatible versions of ANT. ANT+ on the other hand is a standard so that any ANT+ capable devices will be able to communicate with eachother. I assume there is some intelle
