Kind of hit-or-miss, apparently. It was extremely off with mine, and with my friends it was a 50/50 split.

It depends how it's applied. I like type inference when I'm defining a variable, for example. In Go, I can just write this: message := "hello world" ...and the compiler knows it's a string, and I know it&#x

Trust. Some people think that trust just means a someone blindly trusting another, but of course that's not how it works. People will be trusted to an extent that they can be trusted, and this goes for company-employee relations too. I

This kind of tool is why companies will push back towards on-site interviews, and consequently RTO, given that the people who interviewed are the ones who could easily go to the office to be interviewed. Honestly, it's hard to blame th

They seemed to mind a lot by never shutting up about Biden's handling of inflation, which tariffs contributed to.

I think the word I'm looking for is explicit. It's not required to have explicit types in the functions, which I find disappointing.

by tail_exchange 2y ago
I'm a bit confused. The documentation says it is static and strongly typed, but the example for functions is: def multiply(a, b): print("Multiplying", a, "with", b) return a*b How is this st

The title is misleading. It implies that Telegram was not moderating content at all, but from the article: > Telegram says that before becoming a member of IWF it removed hundreds of thousands of pieces of abuse material each month using

It's kind of ironic the concept of a whole generation considering success as being part of the 1% and still being optimistic about it. By definition, the vast majority won't be successful.

I love Go, but they are not really interchangeable. If you do systems programming and you need a very low-level language, Go is not a good alternative. Though if we are talking about more high-level applications like web servers, then I tot

> 2000 products sounds like you made 2000 engineers learn kubernetes (a week, optimistically, 2000/52 = 38 engineer years, or roughly one wasted career). Not really, they only had to use the tool to run the migration and then valida

It largely depends how customized each microservice is, and how many people are working on this project. I've seen migrations of thousands of microservices happening with the span of two years. Longer timeline, yes, but the number of m

My team has a meeting to hand off the on-call to the next person, and we discuss all pages we got during the week. Primarily two things: whether the page was for a good reason or not (good: our on-call person had an something actionable t

I'm also not a php developer, but I agree. This seems like a huge footgun. I've never been a fan of this kind of magic, and I wonder how other languages deal with this case.

For anyone interested, just search for "garden island james rose" on YouTube. The videos have a green title screen. It's interesting to see how they improved over time. In the first videos, the man had some really bizarre han

We have very different experiences then. I used to open Twitter very once in a while, but a few months ago I completely stopped using it. It became a non-stop firehose of right-wing propaganda, ragebait, Trump, and bot spam. It's compl

You're right. It makes way more sense when you compare it to Numpy.

Going from Python to Go was very easy for me, and I do feel much more productive. I don't want to work with Python ever again. Rust is a beast though, I tried picking it up several times, but lose interest quickly. The language is inte

No, only if they tried a coup, filled his cabinet with yes-men, and have a following full of neo-nazis. Then you should be concerned.

Organic rice still has arsenic. The arsenic is not coming from pesticides, but from the soil and water, which naturally carry some arsenic.

No, because I'm not the only person writing code. If someone else chooses to use this feature, I will eventually have to interact with it and/or maintain it.

Minimalism is the biggest selling point, if you are comparing it to C#. If you don't see a lot of people using it, maybe you're looking in the wrong place? I work with platforms, and Go is everywhere.

Telegram group chats and calls, mostly. I don't use any other social media app, except WhatsApp when they don't have Telegram.

It would be great to have a way to accurately identify AI-generated images, but is this even possible? It seems like a requirement like this would essentially outlaw the industry.

I think these can both be true. If AI makes people be 3% more productive overall, cumulatively that's a huge improvement, but on an individual level it may feel undeserving of hype.
