Did I place it before the early middle ages? Whoops! Not my intention. The schism took place in 1054 officially, however it was very much in the works before that. Thanks for pointing out my comment read as such. I use the term dark ages pu

If you really think this, then all I have to say to you is you must read the Federalist Papers, Declaration of Independence and Constitution with quite the set of blinders on my friend. For example, consider this quotation from John Jay in

The comment is not fitting to the article, but I wanted to respond to it anyways because I found it interesting and it's not something talked about here much, for obvious reasons. The problem is going to escape many on the left, includ

The most realistic founding story so far is Bezos explanation for how he founded Amazon. It was always a business-first mindset in an area of high growth. That one short video filmed in 1997 should be a masterclass by itself.

In my thinking, I think of an endpoint as something at either end of the communication channel (NATS in this case) where it is effectively terminal. Usually this is where the application logic lies. Dereck Collison (creator of NATS) brings

NATS is an amazing project, I just wanted to take the opportunity to highlight it for those first hearing about it in this comment. It's so brilliantly simple, yet changed the way I design distributed systems. I handle almost anything

Everything is an art. Science is an art. Even "pure mathematics" can be artful and beautiful. There is beauty in all the miracle of the application of human creation, thought, and skill. There is beauty in process, in discovery, o

Two things: - I buy them Apple devices. n=4 here, but it really seems when my family (mom, father-in-law, mother-in-law, and older brother who is borderline tech illiterate) made the switch from Android to iOS devices or even PC to Mac, the

Did you tell them to all turn off their phones and remove their batteries, too?

Insert standardization XKCD. It's been tried. And even so, you can still use the "standard" coredump tool to analyze a Go program's coredump with decent success.

Unfortunately, this is not true. Although the equality operators are a favorite bikeshedding topic, the largest source of errors in JS code bases are type errors. Using a "non-sane" equality check, such as those with type coercion

Then again, even if we had sound statistics backing our policy, the facts would be dismissed in favor of the ideology backing the social policy.

If the Alonzo Church model and Turing model of computing are computationally equivalent, then does it really matter? I may not be understanding correctly.

Small aside about memory in humans: I am reminded of a story told during a lecture of a transplant recipient receiving a heart transplant and was interviewed after the successful surgery about what they would like to eat now that they had a

What if this is medicine working as intended? "Frail older patients" wasn't even a word in anyone's vernacular 50 years ago, you just died if you were in that state. This is a result of us pushing the boundaries of what

There's no room for moderates in today's political climate. "You are either completely on board or you are against me" so the current zeitgeist goes. Essentially you have to align your beliefs and talking points with &#x

Go the language is simple, but the infrastructure around Go is where it shines, especially around tooling and runtime (especially now that versioning has been finally figured out). There are some great pieces of tech that really push the bo

Unfortunately, it is either cheap or quality. And news flash, as someone who just recently built a new home, even the "expensive" stuff is hardly "quality" these days. We are paying more for homes with cheaper, younger,

Already been said a few times, but just feel like I had to add again for added emphasis. Extreme Ownership is the best book on Leadership I have ever read. Changed my thinking forever.

You mistakenly assume I mean strictly from a moral perspective. Assume a cost:benefit analysis, where the factors are, depending on the person, some combination of morality, desire to not face consequences (legal system, job, family), and p

I don't mean this offensively, but I had to roll my eyes at this one. This is the exact type of question I would expect from a tech startup focused board.

The std lib is not the paragon of go virtue as some people make it out to be. The maintainers have been frank with some of the mistakes and things they'd do differently now but because they place the Go 1 promise above everything else

That's a really unfair characterization of Go's error handling, and something only really novice Go developers do. https://dave.cheney.net/2016/04/27/dont-just-check-errors-ha...

I’d take him back in a heartbeat over De Blasio. Bloomberg strikes me as a man that can learn from mistakes.
