I've been waiting for a consensus to appear on Go dependency management. Finally I think we can call it - godep or something like it seems to be what works best. Google said they were going to wait and see what approach worked best in

Have you seen the Go plugin for IntelliJ IDE? It's not as complete as their Java support yet but it's already pretty impressive.

I'm writing a language in Go. It is fun. Sum types (and ASTs) are implemented with interfaces which provide a pretty clean and type safe way of doing this.

Sure, Google has a policy of employing people with an strong academic background but I kind of think they're mostly grossly underutilised maintaining UI code or doing other drudgery. I'm sure a few get to exercise their academic m

It's pretty astonishing how easily C++ trounces everything else including Java. I guess there's still something to be said for compiling directly to optimised binaries.

NoSQL is a strange term. It really just means "everything else that isn't a traditional SQL database". It encompasses a massive range of completely different database technologies. SQL has been astonishingly successful in rec

While I'm a little unclear on some of her reasoning, Go does excel at these kinds of web backends. I'm using it for my startup and have found it very productive to code in, efficient in computing resources and ridiculously easy to

As a non-American I see it differently - the US illegally flew an aircraft in another country's sovereign airspace, spying on them. I don't want anyone doing this over my country (Australia) - but no matter which country it's

This type of attack seems to be becoming more and more common - social engineering the server provider to gain root access. Good work by the localbitcoins guys in making everything so secure that even with root access the intruder (probably
