This is a pretty important lesson that gets lost at times. Teams with people of diversified passions work well; if everybody is super into data structures, UX, security, etc., then debates can rage and feelings can get hurt. When people o

Time for another march? We are having them weekly as of late. Organized anger can be a powerful tool.

I worked at Boeing as well with a few guys that had been programming since the 60's. They did a pretty good job of walling us off from the rest of the company so we could get things done ourselves. We ran everything. Version control

I think there should be a STEM party. People in our realm of expertise deal with complicated systems and rules daily; I'd like to think we have a good grasp of side effects and unintended consequences. I feel we learn to deal with sy

Ask yourself this question: If my current company gave me 50% ownership of the company, would I want it, and if so, how much is it worth? Without knowing all the details it is hard to say, but working in a larger organization with more en

If you would like to work with somebody on it; hit me up. Or if you have some ideas you'd like implemented, let me know.

I agree, I would prefer a milestone challenge where people put up demos/videos/blogs of their progress (same project or not). Maybe my first month's project is creating a site for people to share their progress towards whate

They call them nanowires, but it might be reasonable to call them a nanoshiv.

Debuggers are nice to have; https://atom.io/packages/go-debug is a good plugin that uses the delve debugger to step through code. No Java required.

IMO, Amazon should consider hiring a team of professional reviewers to generate curated reviews for select products. I understand they couldn't/wouldn't review everything, but given the stakes of public perception, it appear

To be fair, "magic in moderation" is subjective. It may seem to be moderate until you have a new dev that is struggling to spin up on the codebase.

I want to like this, but I feel like they are trying to solve too many things at once. Which is just another kind of problem. New CLI, new language... https://urbit.org/docs/hoon/syntax/

The states exist whether you model them or not, but yes using one FSM for entire UI would potentially grow too large and cumbersome to be practical. They do, however, make more sense targeted at particular levels of abstraction: system, co

High level programming languages exist, first, to help us instruct computers on how to process data and second, to allow us to communicate with humans on how we intended to have the computer process data. For the most part, Go works well i

In general, one of the challenges of delivering commercial software is dealing with the various ecosystems of your customers. Customers may have different versions of Java installed or none at all. Avian allows one to bundle everything re

It really stems from the need to deliver commercial software to enterprise customers on a variety of platforms. At least some (if not many) enterprise customers don't want to roll out Java across all of their clients machines. Additi

I second this; though, to be fair, source maps in AtomShell have been flaky at times when selecting breakpoints with CoffeeScript. I have turned my source mapping off and debug the unminified resultant JavaScript.

I understand that is how that the market works. It may not be a "problem" in people's current understanding of the law, but I certainly think a problem is being exposed here. I am arguing that Apple has created something di

This is actually a great analogy. If the AppStore was a physical store, I would agree; but I still don't agree and that actually surprises me. The freedom of the internet has shaped my expectations around this issue.

They are suppressing information which could help a customer make a decision. Users can no longer search for or discover apps that support their watch via the AppStore. I view this behavior as anti-competitive and does not serve the great

It is still anticompetitive, suppressing information about a competitor's product helps the consumer in 0 ways.

I am no lawyer, but this sounds like an antitrust lawsuit waiting to happen. Apple, IMO, should not be allowed to monopolize their platform in this way.

What I find interesting is it has been around for eons and appears to get rediscovered every few years as a new generation happens upon it. I think it could go a long way simply to expose young people to more ways of thinking and formulati

Thank you for trying to educate me on what I meant by my own comment. Contrary to what you might think, ignorant, in the context of my comment does not mean "you don't know about programming languages" and I know this becaus

I agree, I should have grounded the claim of ignorance in a long list of specific instances or made no comment at all; sometimes less is more. Aside, I use and enjoy languages other than Go; it is simply a tool to solve problems, and I don&

For the record, ignorant does not equal stupid, being a master does not mean you are old, and ignoring negativity (which I should have done here) does not mean I refuse to listen to you. I was simply trying to convey that the rocket has le
