It is another cool feature I didn't think about, thanks! To arrange meetings and sync with remote teams, I'm looking up timetables on a small Go utility.[1]. You can check it in action in the Go Playground [2]. [1] https:/&#

Thanks! I was inspired by the world map that appears on my android's Clock application, and it was an opportunity to write some structured matplotlib code and learn about new stuff. You might want to take a look at the Natural Earth [1

As cosmic_quanta mentioned it's called the terminator, and it's generally the dividing line between the 'illuminated' and 'unilluminated' part of a celestial body. You're right, the weird shape is due to t

Nice! If you want to take a look at how someone else approached this, pgexercises [1] also handles interactive SQL sessions. [1] https://pgexercises.com/about.html

It does look nice, and I'd be more than happy to put some effort and use Org-Mode, instead of Markdown, if only - There was a standardized release outside emacs which would consistently provide the same results. - There was an easy

Thanks for this! I've wanted to learn more about WebRTC and Go, and digging through the source seems a good opportunity. To solve the same problem I've been using another [0] simple silly solution, but security is a concern. [0]

Firefox OS was revolutionary as an idea, but the timing was not there. If it came out a few years after, who knows what could have been. :(

Holy crap, you're the Braid and The Witness guy! Just wanted to say thanks for making some awesome games, and amazing experiences. Also, congratulations for The Witness selection for March PS Plus ^^ I look forward to supporting more

Problems start when the code is not run in a standalone manner, but have dependencies on another API's calls, but you might be right.. For most intents and purposes (C, Python, Go) vi was more than enough, now I think I might have to i

Dan Luu is really great. [1]. He also has a "list of programming blogs" which lead me to find even more interesting ones [2]. [1] https://danluu.com/ [2] https://danluu.com/programming-blogs&#x2F

Well, I hope he continues with the idea to "kick-off a series of articles about testing". Any suggested readings about testing, HN?

A phrase that I read, and sums up my feelings went like "In the early 2000's, in the internet you went to places , but now you just go to the mall". Many parts of the internet are weird and fun, but you gotta look for them

I ported this [1], as well as ssloy's previous [2] article that was featured recently in HN, in Golang. I wanted to say he's an excellent introduction to graphics. As a sysadmin, I had never drawn more than simple lines and the

Well, anecdote, but in most cases I know (South Europe) it's the tenants chasing behind the landlord to fix issues in their homes, and not vice versa :P Why wouldn't one want stuff on the property he's renting (and paying d

I really can't understand what some people are smoking out there. Is it's a push/lobby from companies? A need to have Orwellian control over the tenants? Misguided 'fellowkids' approach to appear 'hip' and

Wow, this is a terrific repo, props to the creator! I'm gonna try and recreate this in Golang as a learning exercise. I think you could also submit it as a standalone post for more visibility. ;)

I feel that what we describe as "soft skills" and that many people discredit, like being professional, being able to clearly communicate problems, solutions, ideas or being always willing-to learn could be better labelled as &quot

Sorry for the title, I preferred keeping the original one. Mike's blog has quite interesting stuff! As for your other point, yes, with all the negativity that StackOverflow sometimes exhibits, I really feel that the pressure/urge

Quick question, if you Google 'ddg' in incognito mode, do you get any results regarding DuckDuckGo? In the first 10 pages of Google Search I only get two 'relevant' results; one in the bottom of the first page, and a

Well, yes, you're very much right on that regard, and as others mentioned, the 'official installation instructions' were always using Mongo's official repo, so it's a different case. But I still feel that Red Hat ha

Well, distros will follow through. One such example could be the rise of `systemd`; once it was adopted by Fedora/RHEL it was game over for `init`.

Well, it's matter of perspective. It's not very possible that in 200 years or so, people are going to remember and study my work. That's reserved for the Newtons and the Gausses of the world, and even then, they are acknowled
