Really late but... I use them to avoid type assertions. Most recently I need to operate on channels of all types.

I've been using generics with go2go and am looking forward to replacing generated code when they are officially released.

Granted, it depends on how it turns out. But my first impression is that authoritative reference documents of MDN are going to become cluttered with comments and disagreements.

I think observing the Higgs was worth the money. We're sort of rebounding from our overconfidence in string theory, so I think this kind of criticism is expected and appropriate, but in the long run this citizen wants to pay for more b

I feel like in the long run this has to work. This is drawing energy from gravity itself.

The phenomenon is statistical. In your example (which is a bit too simple but still), the analogous surprise would be something like each party guesses what's in the envelope before they open it, and the accuracy of their guess is too

> So, a differential equation must be solved not for a parameter, say x, but for a whole function. Loved that line!

I mean come on. Are we now saying that we must maintain comments as well as tests and actual documentation? An accurate comment in code is encountered about as often as zebra with pink stripes. The code has to work, the test have to w

There are a lot of 'ifs' here. Especially iffy -- the tax windfall creates its own perverse incentives. Drug abuse is bad for you, no amount game theory or legal hair-splitting will change that.

Look, you have to do technical interviews. You don't have to be a bully, but you have to find a way to probe the candidate's ability to solve technical problems and code. Pick a question that tests the skills you're looking f

I'll grant that some people overpay for some types of education because of loans that shouldn't be available. But it could be simpler still. Contrary to the typical contrarian viewpoint, a college education costs a lot because it
