I think I took the metaphor more to heart than others. I like to think of myself as a good storyteller. I can explain pretty in depth computer science topics to my business team who lack technical knowledge pretty well through stories. My p

Amazon tends to recommend things I like and the majority of the purchases have been because of their recommendations (good job Amazon, your software is doing it's job, raising sales). I think books and music are different though. Books

Precisely. In rugby, it is much more stressed and emphasized to make secure tackles. In football, at any given point and time there is one person with virtually a huge bullseye on them and it is sometimes a valid tactic to lay down a more

This problem is even worse when it's not even necessarily income levels that is the problem, but just different values around money & spending. If you have the same income level, but find it outrageous to spend x on y, you just get

There are many reasons, too many to list here but in essence, modern Greece has had a very tough time, from the Ottoman yoke, to British control, monarchies and military dictatorships, the Balkan wars in their back yard, then WWI/WWII

Actually the free fall has seemed to have slowed, and bottomed out. It's just a different cultural value -- not every culture values the green dollar as much as America or the UK or likewise. Is it the best for your GDP? Probably not,

Kind of a pointless chart to me at this point since the data is from 2011 on - massive austerity and joblessness is skewing this data -- the people who do have jobs are working longer just to make the same pay, and the country has 22.5% une

Until the situation I am in requires compassion and or empathy to resolve. Maybe the outcome isn't desired from my perspective, but I feel better about it now.

The same reason you get frustrated when you realize the customer service agent you have been talking to the whole time is just AI powered, and more then 3/4ths of the response have been pre-filled. Loss of the human element. Kind of ha

Actually what really happened was instead of trying to catch em 'all with pokemon try/catching, they decided to treat errors like it was part of the actual code. Errors are values. You can actually code with them. Amazing, right?

I think this is a fair question. We have a lot of pseudo-intellectuals here that think 90% of their job isn't writing business functions. Not having generics in Go has not hindered me at all in performing the objectives of my business.

I think you are confusing getting updates with "design" Go gets frequent updates as well.

Conversely, I would stop using Go in my projects if it introduces generics. If Go wants to be more sophisticated, there are other sophisticated languages I can use out there like Haskell, Rust, F#, Scala, etc. The problem I have learned i
