As a species, we have been moving towards "less hours, more work done" for centuries. Just a few hundred years ago, most of humanity worked every waking hour creating food for themselves in order to not die of starvation. The logi

I mean, of course it is, but if your salary is monthly-based then it's not such a big deal then. That of course implies that you can have 5 hour weeks when your time is not required as much, and get paid the same.

If your employer tracks you by the hour, then of course email while commuting is work. Also thinking about a design while taking a shower in the evening is work. Also waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to fall asleep

If you don't want others to exploit your code without contributing back, don't use BSD/MIT/Apache; use (A)GPL. Otherwise, you're just asking everyone to think you're a cool and mellow cat for releasing full-lib

Are Crystal, Kotlin and Swift really complicated? Is Rust's complications due to null protections or something else?

> dereferencing a nil value in Go in relatively safe (as in Java), all it does is crash the goroutine. Yeah, these are exactly the things I don't want to see: production log messages saying that something or other referred to a nil

Go is missing 2 things that I care about: 1) proper dependencies management system (the new module system might address this) and 2) gener... nah, just kidding -- actually null protection. I don't want to see another segfault or null p

SQLite's typing is rather weak, is it not? That might be a tad scary for someone used who relies on that part of PostgreSQL.

Something like Stellar should have a great market here, and in the legal cannabis market as well (check out the first commenter on OP's link). Every new innovation in the websphere starts from porn, so why not cryptocurrencies as well.

What is the current recommendation for dependency management in Go for a new project?

There are very few cases where threading is essential, where you cannot work just with communicating processes. I cannot think of anything but FPS games (perhaps you can). Crystal already has fibers, eventloop and CSP-style channels. See h

>The domino thing wasn't that crazy. I wonder if that implies that the world should've gone full communist. That the attempts to stop that was just delaying the inevitable, even though the delay seems very successful right now.

I don't think so. After they went public, they have an actual pressure to make money, and they are not in a good position for that at all. They have a handful of dangerous competitors, all of which are not reliant on the music business

And if you have Whatsapp installed on the same phone, it possibly gets all the data that you have given Whatsapp. Ditto for Instagram. Don't trust Facebook or anything they own.
