> even $0.99 is "expensive" for most people these days In my experience, this is not really true - most people (including myself) just cannot find these apps and instead see only subscription ones which seems to be the new tren

Replace "JavaScript" with anything and the theory remains the same: those who can articulate and declare nuanced opinions about software they have had to interact with to a reasonable degree are able to critique reasonably. I disl

Good points, I appreciate the response!

I work at Sourcegraph and have been considering something like this for a while for running long-running jobs, things like CI pipelines and GitHub actions for example. How would you feel about an app like GitLab, for example, shipping a doc

oof, sorry and thank you for pointing me to this. I am clearly out of the loop

Consumers often don't realize the charge, I believe, until it's too late. Tech-illiterate old folk getting hit by the latest leak of information from <take your pick of large company>.

Yeah, Go focusing on threads and channels I agree is generally a painful new concept for beginners to learn. I've also seen beginners often "over-correct" and start using channels and goroutines for things they really shouldn

That is really interesting to me! I never used VB, is the only difference here that it is "named" ByVal and ByRef that you think made it easier for people to understand than "pointers"?

by slimsag 6y ago
That's definitely true, but I've often seen beginners just say: type Foo struct { ... } func (f *Foo) Bar() { ... } And go "Aha, that's an object and a method, I get it!" but when asked whether they sho

Observation: I see that you do 26 exercises before doing anything with pointers. I often wonder if one of the reasons Go is more "simple" or approachable to some is because you can, to a large extent, ignore pointers and interface

Mistakes happen, especially with spelling and grammar. Is it too much to ask that people be understanding instead of pedantic?

Would this mean an engineer in the US who moves to Canada would not be able to practice without getting work accreditation and a license?

I would assume that means "senior engineers looking to provide guidance to entire teams eventually, but in the near term are very hands on and would act as ICs"

Glad to hear it :) If you have any feedback we'd love to hear it, as well. We went 100% all-remote at the start of the year, and historically over 50% of over our team has always been remote. This has been a really good boon for us as

Sorry to hear this, I dug through your profile to see if maybe I can help. I can't guarantee anything, of course, but we're hiring Go developers at Sourcegraph and are 100% remote so if you meet the other qualifications here pleas

But in this case, it'd be for the hospital's use, so they would have lost sales technically and it'd be easy to show harm.

Monday.com is the worst product I have ever had the experience of working with. Spreadsheet with 200 rows and 20 columns? Your browser will be laggy as all hell thanks to their wonderful UI. Try to tell support? The entire page jitters up a

I don't think GP's comment was negging or passive-aggressive at all. The original GP said "That must make you nervous over at GitLab, no?" so it only seems rational to explain that they see this as validation and not as

You are 100% correct, I really messed up here by suggesting that option. I misread our own docs. It would only disable event counts from being sent (e.g. instead of "how many jump-to-definitions were performed in a day?" we would

Ah, yeah, that's fair. I'll forward this feedback onto the team. The option is documented in our config docs, though, and also appears in the config editor's autocomplete in the app if you type `telemetry`, though, so it&#x27

I am a dev at Sourcegraph, I'd be very open to any feedback. You can firewall off Sourcegraph 100% for complete confidence, and aside from the first admin's email address (so we can notify them of any security updates) we only sen

I've tried Tile, it'll tell you if it's within 15-20 feet and then has an audible noise. Kinda OK, but not great.

serious question: how effectively can things like non-nullability be bolted onto a language after it and a large part of its ecosystem has been created? I see the plan to allow libraries to opt-in and migrate that way.. but I wonder how lon

Really, the web just gets more and more vile towards users. Sure, highly technical folk are capable of working around this all -- but the vast majority of people do not have a browser that is _working for them_: - You have little to no cont

It really bothers me that people so closely associate these "Not Google" projects with Google. I've seen repositories with not even a README, any documentation, or so much as an explanation of _what the project even is_ end u

I've thought about this a LOT, more specifically about the implications of the fact that open source projects are treated as _both_ communities AND code as a single entity at the same time instead of independently so. This gives the ow
