That's an adequate explanation in itself! At some point you go from thinking "why not", to thinking "why", and evidently you had not been through that transition!

About half the answers devolve into a sales pitch after a lengthy and confusing intro that seems to be written for SEO purposes only. The answers tend to be of substantially lower quality than what you'd see on SO too. Yahoo Answers mi

Maybe it's reserving resources for the total 'bounding box'? So 1920:1080 + 3440:1440 + 3440:1440 => 8800:1440 (12,67Mp) But 1920:1080 + 3440:1440 + 1440:3440 => 6800:3440 (23.4Mp) EDIT: with the laptop screen off, it w

And Bash does not support static typing at all, unlike Python. Not sure what their argument even is.
335.
by sk0g 6y ago
It gives you the option to use static typing, if you so desire. I'm not sure how not having a type system is safer than having a type system. What makes it feel more dangerous?
336.
by sk0g 6y ago
How? Python has an actual type system. A programming language that does strings for everything would be, for example, PHP.

Well to be honest, Go binary sizes are always going to be big, to the benefit of ease of development and deployment. Memory usage, I don't know. The Fibonacci benchmark code was a bit... shit. Do you want to send over your Rust code in

by sk0g 6y ago
Wouldn't processing time depend on your CPU, and unless you run the benchmarks in the article, this comparison would be meaningless?

Are you sure re: CI/CD? I was looking around the job market recently, and every role was interested in my experience in it, since they were using it too. To be honest, that could be self-selecting, as my resume likely attracts companie

Are mobile apps the target market for Go? CI/CD takes care of upload for the dev side at least. It would be handy to have a compile time flag indicating the desired file size optimisation level still, with tradeoffs being ease of debug

When interspersed within an insightful comment, it's encouraged, even. On its own... Well, it won't get you banned, but not everyone will be impressed.

There's lots of room for the population to grow on the mainland still, and Tasmania doesn't have much of a draw, except for wine, and isolation I guess. Not that there's a lack of isolation going around... Historically, Abori

What was the result of the switch, how heavy is a full page load now?

That may well be the case - I have more problems with the air, I think, than the heat. I've experienced comparable heat before, but a breeze, or stepping into the shade would provide some respite. No such luck in Brisbane! Also the sea

If it's Open Broadcasting Studio, streaming or desktop recording, mainly.

Do you mean something like MetaCritic for journalists? It could work, but then who reviews (and vets) the reviewers?

I find the summers in Brisbane disgusting, though I do come from a colder country. I thought Melbourne was the sweet spot, albeit rather temperamental, weather wise.

Maybe your area of interest is dominated by older programmer solving problems in languages they're most familiar with, which wouldn't be a recent(ish) one. I get the vibe from this comment that you think people are doing entirely

You're overestimating the technical aptitude of the average person. If it's not a URL or in an app store, it basically doesn't exist for a lot of people.

Not being able to uninstall Edge is valid, IMO. How would the average user recover from deleting their only web browser?

This is very cool! I wonder what the chances of this being pulled into Go proper is, and whether the lack of cgo is an intractable issue, which would rule it out entirely.

It's significant syntactic sugar that brings it closer to Python, but no notebook support from what I can see. Do any notebooks support a compiled language?

Oath! I didn't want to assume where they were from, but it's definitely not Australia haha. Canadians go alright, but they're dangerously close to USA

I didn't think most people would take my suggestion of Canada seriously. Obviously if it is actually a nation state, there's about a 90% chance it's China, considering all the statements they've put out regarding oz and

Looking into it more, ACSC has posted a serious advisory [0], so it might be real this time. It's not a good look when the government screams cyber attack willy nilly though, because people get jaded, and think it's rather their o

But Canada is just cold Australia, why would they want to hurt us?! They scream cyber attack every time any of their services see a small uptick in usage, like the social services website Centrelink did, when the lockdown/ job losses s

Sounds like you're doing Python with 10x the steps! What's your use case?

by sk0g 6y ago
You're right, I thought systems programming was synonymous with embedded. Evidently not! Cheers for the correction. Interestingly, Rust, (Nim,) and Swift are listed under systems programming languages, while Go and Kotlin are not.

Pay is probably pretty good (especially if current rise materialises) for my level of experience, and I have lots of autonomy in how I do things, as I'm the main technical decision maker on non-frontend tasks. I'm also doing uni p

Do they even service the same domains though? For me, Go is a faster, more explicit Python. In some domains, it is even more batteries-included, especially where I use it - backend development. It has a great balance of ease of development,
