Sure, but what's the property of ObjC-style message passing that makes it hard to implement in C? Like when you implement coroutines/threads in your language runtime, you're going to implement the context switching part in as

If you care about long support times, you'd use an "enterprise" distribution and get exactly the same support periods (about 10 years) as with Windows or Solaris. This is no coincidence.

Yes. Basically: for k := range s1 { if s2.Contains(k) { result.Add(k) } }

Thanks, looks useful for Desktop applications and being able to handle it with WiX is nice. Personally, I'm more interested in system-level programs for integrating Windows with some existing infrastructure.

If sets are a good match for your problem (and I agree, they tend to be for many common ones), you definitely should use them in Go. Just write the fucking code. Even if you use the most obvious, naive code to implement fundamental set oper

Wow. Automatic security update locks me out of my computer without any explicit notice given. How very nice of them.

Is there portable open source tooling to create these packages, like there is for MSI? Can programs installed through Appx packages do everything you can do as a Windows app or is there some form of mandatory sandboxing that would prevent i

This is considered "white hat" behaviour? Both approaches look like straight out of internet scum 101.

Looking at GhostText and its editor integration scripts, those basically work by running a websocket server on localhost. Implementing access controls seems to be left as an exercise for the reader. If I understand the native messaging API

The original Zotero also died with the demise of XUL extensions. It, too, used to be a Firefox extension.

Actually, I think the Google-provided map of hotels is a lot more useful to me as a search user than almost everything else likely to be returned from a spammy-hellhole-producing search term like this one. I don't know how to make su

Thanks for the correction. I think that's somewhat unfortunate, though. The powerful shared tooling is one of the strengths of the Go ecosystem and if there are issues with it that prevent the use in Goland I'd rather see those ge

Thank deity Go language design is not done by popular vote. If you want the Trump of programming languages, you probably have to look elsewhere.

The standard godoc documentation browser does this too when started with the -analysis option. They all use the same source code oracle functionality available from the x/tools repo.

Eh, file system I/O? Compared to Linux, Windows really sucks there. As does OS X.

The more people use the web, the more Google gains. It's really as simple as that. People switching their media consumption from traditional media (TV and dead tree) to the web is what makes Google more money. How? Advertising budgets

Except that the Chrome behaviour isn't non-conforming. AFAICT, honoring autocomplete="off" is not required UA behaviour. It's a 'should', not a 'must'.

But it is the job of browser developers to build programs that serve their users. If I, as a user, want to autocomplete a form field, the website operator doesn't get a say in whether I can do that. The settings that come with the mark

Go doesn't insist that your code lives in ~/go/src. It can live anywhere beneath a directory of your choice. Note that there's no requirement that GOPATH contains only Go source code. You can put your scripts and resourc
