As someone who has much more experience with Python, the only time I reach for Python is the odd case where there isn't a comparable Go library (think pyqt). Writing Go programs is just easier than Python--the language is much simpler,

What's strange about this?

I find that a sticky note works well, particularly in strip form. Much cheaper.

I was addressing the assertion that this is the first time China attacked the U.S. Whether or not the U.S. reciprocates is off-topic, but to answer your question: I don't know about any evidence that would suggest the U.S. reciprocates

Really? Everything I've read suggests Google does its best to resist subpoenas, takedowns, etc. Meanwhile, Microsoft was caught red-handed installing backdoors. What am I missing about Google "cozying up to" the US gov? >

If it was an "accident" that made the Chinese government look bad, we would be hearing about the "unrelated" murder of magistrates by now.

This wouldn't be the first time China has hacked US-based organizations.

I'm bored of Chinese hackers attacking Western companies... Let's mix it up a bit and hear about some Western hackers attacking Chinese organizations.

I literally make all of my important purchases on subjective evidence. Whenever I'm considering an important purchase, I scour the Internet for anecdotal information. I've found that such anecdotes in large quantity are more relia

I don't disagree with any of that. I was just saying that BSD find is the most plaguing deviation from the Linux bash on which I was brought up.

I've had awesome luck with Ubuntu. The last driver problem I had was a missing broadcom driver for my 2009 netbook using Ubuntu 10.04. Since then, I've installed Ubuntu on dozens of laptops and desktops since then with absolutely

Except BSD find is not the same as GNU find, which is insanely frustrating :p. One day I will learn BSD find.

I would not recommend Windows to someone who wants a "just works" solution. I'm told that I (and every Windows user I know) just have bad luck, but Windows 7+ still regularly BSOD on HP and Dell laptops, and they seem to be m

Ironically, Linux was able to play audio on my 2008 MacBook when OSX couldn't. I mean this as a fun anecdote--I do not believe my case is typical. :)

Pretty sure Google would love for the web to not suck so much. I think the strategy is to support some decent technology and hope the rest of the world will get their shit together. The W3C is just slooooooooowwwwww.

It seems like the people who actually use it love it. The folks who don't are the ones raging that Go doesn't have generics, after all.

I don't know. I program in C++ all day long--it took a loooong time to figure out the good patterns in the sea of options or to learn to interpret the cryptic and/or vague error messages (I just got an "invalid use of class&q

That's probably the best summary of the generics situation that I've seen to date. Thanks for sharing! :)

The author here. I'm not necessarily an opponent of generics, the post was just a "how to deal with the current situation", so keep that context in mind. :) > someone needs to be able to do it to write the libraries he nee
