I could not agree more; I feel the same way. It always makes me shudder when banks or other supposedly high security institutions ask me to provide the answer to "What city were you born in?" for extra security. I don't want

Probably because people are paying more for not having to deal with restoring their stuff. Maybe it's much harder to get a new phone to be like your original, so you'd rather pay more to get it back as is. On the other hand, maybe

What do you think of embedding a semantic version field in your format, so that you can make backwards-incompatible breaking changes down the line?

I agree, but I may have a biased POV. I would prefer to see "How to Get People into Engineering? Let Them Build Toys."

I'm coming from/comparing to C++ mostly, which is the language that Go replaced for me.

I agree, that is one of my most favorite aspects of Go. go get -u github.com/go/project If you're writing native Go code, it doesn't matter if there's 0 or 1000+ dependencies, that one command will take car

It's cool to see more people thinking about and experimenting with this stuff. I've done a similar attempt with my Conception project, https://github.com/shurcooL/Conception#demonstration One reason "all

Interestingly, my Conception project shared a similar history. It started off as small individual boxes on a large canvas, but the latest version is currently more like Sublime. I still haven't committed to either one paradigm, there

The was more than 1 game with the name "Hover". However, this one had really fun physics-driven gameplay that made it unlike any other game.

by shurcooL 12y ago
One of really cool (personal favorite) games from that era was Hover by Eric Undersander. While not removed, it only runs on Windows with limited resolution options, etc. I was lucky enough to contact its creator and he agreed to open sourc

I don't know why you're being downvoted, I think this is a valid point. One of the reasons companies are unwilling to reduce working hours is because of their competitive nature and that others haven't. No one wants to fall b

A very specific thought on this: I love the fact that there are no settings because of one advantage it offers (it has disadvantages too, like any trade-off). Namely, that you can always be sure of what settings you've changed. The ans

FaceTime audio, VoIP, textPlus, Skype, etc. I used Google Voice via Talkatone as well, but they offer their own VoIP solution now that the 3rd party GV API is discontinued.

Or do what I did and switch to a data-only plan. I like having my mobile provider be nothing more than a dumb pipe.

That's a good point, it seems the Java code is checking if the entire string is valid UTF-8 while the Go version isn't. I wonder why the behavior of generated protobufs is different between the two.

Fair point. It's possible when they said "efficient", they did not mean "hardware efficient, runs fast, doesn't use a lot of resources" but "developer efficient, faster to write and easier to understand&qu

by shurcooL 12y ago
Sometimes "efficient" and "easy to understand and be sure is correct" don't have to be mutually exclusive; see this example [1] of Java and Go. Note that the code is autogenerated, so it should be equally efficient.

It looks like the underscore naming is used to benefit from recognized branding of the JS library, not because it's the best name for a Go package.

Yeah, this is awesome and it's making me jealous. I'm still dreaming of a world where one day Google will announce that golang source code is moving to git and GitHub.

Thanks. :) It's an experimental software development tool, largely inspired by Bret Victor's talks. It's similar to projects like Light Table, Zed editor, but it's nowhere near as complete and focuses on a single program
