The one thing that makes Go special is that it's pure "Engineering-Zen".

While that doesn't make programming in Go the most fun exercise it makes it a profound one (after some getting used to).

Less distractions, less eGo (forgive the pun).

Disclaimer:

I'm still having a hard time embracing all of that myself - I don't even like Go.

I really miss all the functional cleverness I've come to get used to over the years - especially talking Erlang/OTP as the main (losing) "competitor" for most of my backend projects here (microservices, kubernetes yaddayadda).
I doubt it. I did Java for over a decade, but jumped at the opportunity to use Go with its statically compiled binaries. The JVM is great, but being tied to it is kind of a hassle. Being able to hand a small binary to someone and say "here, run this" with no worry about dependencies- it's a beautiful thing.

>You can get 10msec pauses or less with heaps >100GB with HotSpot if you tune things well and use the latest GC (G1).

For what percentile of collections? I'm not wasting my time with incessant GC tuning only to delay that 5 minute stop the world pause for a bit longer. It's still going to hit eventually. For projects that might grow into that sort of heap size I use C++ (with an eye on Rust for the future).

You are right that Go is not a panacea for very large memory situations, but you can do a lot more before Go even needs that amount of memory.

The point is that languages without value types, such as Java and JavaScript, waste a huge amount of memory and generate a lot more garbage, thereby exacerbating all other related issues, including GC.

I have done quite a lot of testing for our workloads. Java memory usage is consistently two to three times higher than that of Go or C++. I'm unwilling to waste our money on that.

That's assuming everyone with a self driving car is driving the exact same model and they all updated at the exact same time. Chances are there will be many different models and manufactures so an OTA update with a bug will only affect a much smaller percentage of the self driving cars.

you can verify by downloading the archive and comparing the content of the archive with the content of the archive produced by git archive. The issue seems to be that the zip file contains the version of the zip utility used to create the file, so you'd need the exact same version to make a reproducible build.

On iOS the page scales as expected. The only visual glitch with columns not matching up is something I'm getting on non-zoomed desktop as well. Presumably this is from specific source text of as-of-yet unexpected lengths not being handled properly during calculation of the maximum columns.

The accessibility issue would be resolved by using workarounds typical of screen-reader solutions: ARIA markup, tricks like Bootstrap's .sr-only class, etc. At the end of the day, neither images nor ASCII art are going to be accessible, so if you implement the required accessibility functionality, theoretically there is no difference between them. I do shudder to imagine just how ugly the source would look (hide every character of the nonsensical ascii from screen reader, and replace it with proper text representation).

It's not only the name of the tarball after downloading it. RPM SPEC files require me to pass a full URL to the tarball's upstream source[1]:

> Source0: The full URL for the compressed archive containing the (original) pristine source code, as upstream released it. "Source" is synonymous with "Source0". If you give a full URL (and you should), its basename will be used when looking in the SOURCES directory.

But the only URL that is available is <Project URL>/archive/v0.1.1.tar.gz. The SPEC file is therefore defining a file named v0.1.1.tar.gz although I downloaded my tarball as foo-0.1.1.tar.gz. The packaging process looks for v0.1.1.tar.gz, fails to find it in my SOURCES directory and aborts.

I'm not blaming GitHub here in any way, I just wish I had a bit more flexibility for the tarball URL. Would be neat.

"Legacy" is as much said. It still forms the basis interface that is used by WDF. Also you still need to use the WDM directly if you are writing a filesystem driver.

I have a desk from Ikea, but I don't like it much, because it already bends in the middle. I'll have to replace it with a real office desk in the future (more place, more stability when leaning on it)

I'm using a Ikea chair, I bought for about 45€ back in the day. It's really nice. After 8 years the cushion is still like on the first day and I can lean back in it really nice. Real good investment.

My monitor is a Hanns G HZ281. I got two of it, but 2x28" was too much for me. I rushed to get one of the last cheap 1980x1200 monitors back then, because I didn't wanted these 16:9 thingys. It's a bit wiggly and with 75W rather hungry, but I really like working with it. If I had to buy a new one today, I probably would go for one of those 21:9 things with 4k resolution.

My keyboard is a Cherry easyhub corded. I'm more into these flat keyboards, don't know why. Somehow these mechanical things many devs vow feel to clunky for me.

I find intellectually dishonest the suggestion that not owning a house is somehow going to remove the ability to settle down and start a family. I don't own a house, and most likely never will, by the simple reasoning that I can either own a house 2 hours away from work and spend 1/6 of my weekday waking hours on public transit, or I can rent a great apartment 10 minutes from work and enjoy a vastly greater quality of life.

None of this stops me from living the family life. On the contrary, the shorter commute time arguably allows me to be a better father and husband than many of my coworkers, who travel such long distances to work that they can't afford to be home in time for dinner or their kids' bedtime.

Yes, they may have the big backyards and huge houses, but my family enjoys a Manhattan penthouse with a rooftop, located equidistantly from Central and Riverside parks, with easy access to everything the city has to offer.

The "American Dream" of owning a house at all costs - which also appears to be the British dream - would be just another distraction. It's unnecessary and, in my opinion, a waste of mindshare and money.
Yeah, but a jump shot is more difficult after a step backwards. Perhaps it isn't if you're Kobe Bryant? :)

As someone who's worked in publishing and advertising, the rise of Buzzfeed has been fascinating to watch. There are two really amazing things about it's business:

- Buzzfeed has no banner ads, zero—every ad comes in the form of native content.

- Companies pay Buzzfeed to distribute Buzzfeed content through ad networks. You'll see Buzzfeed Partner videos on Facebook, these are videos that Buzzfeed has been paid to create that includes a brand in some way or another. They are then paid again to run this content on ad networks.

Creative, media buys and more—Buzzfeed is essentially an advertising agency that gets paid to create and distribute assets for it's own brand.

A text editor is a tool. I don't think accessibility matters that much - it's something that can and should be sacrificed for improved efficiency of working with said tool. You spend 5 minutes Googling up (oh, omg, reading the built-in manual or running the tutorial that happens to be shown pretty much on startup) how to do some things and now you can do those things much more efficiently than by clicking around "discoverable" menus and toolbars.

i would be surprised if we didnt get visa-less travel to shengen and visa-versa. visa requirements for study are generally pretty easy (can you afford it) and for work are a good thing. most eu countries already require some form of work permit (for tax purposes), they are easy to obtain and amount to the same thing as a visa. travel costs are based on market forces and government policy, we could make travel even cheaper if we left by reducing taxes if we chose to. the costs of operation are otherwise the same
On Android the browser renders the page at full width, making the icon and text unreadablely small. You can zoom in, but that shouldn't be necessary in the first place if the site was responsive.

Bootstrap's screens reader only classes are somewhat of a hack, and does the opposite of what you're suggesting anyway (aria-hidden is the proper way to go, but as you said that will mean adding a ridiculous amount of markup to the page), while images support screen readers natively via the alt attribute - no messy markup needed.

All a great and good till you do the math. In the UK you can own a house 2 hours away from work or you can rent a house 3 hours away from work. Rental prices in the UK are well above the rate needed to service a mortgage so if you can get a mortgage it's much cheaper. To give you an idea the 3 bedroom flat I live in has a mortgage repayment of around 800pounds a month but a rental income of 1700pounds a month.

Electoral enrollment status and place you live is usually public information. It should be to prevent vote fraud.

Without other ID, you give your passport details to every company that uses it for ID, every airline, even the bouncer at a bar. When you're travelling and don't have the local ID, you use it to get a sim card, bus pass, just about everything. It's not really secret.

As for the biometric data, what use would a malicious actor make of that? They can't impersonate you because authentication shouldn't be done with only reproducible biometric data. They could identify you if you're physically touching them, but then they can already see you in person.

That assumes that you as a programmer actually use the thing you are building for something else than testing. I've seen many LoB applications that get optimized by this process for programmer testing instead of normal user workflow. Yesterday's example (the application is desktop thick client for REST web service): (mostly developmen only) UI for manually creating test data is readily available on application's toolbar, while button for reloading form/view state from server has different placement on each form and in some parts of the application is completely absent (obviously, UI programmers restart the thing often enough that they essentially don't need that button).

Isn't a bookie's business model based around laying off one side of a bet against the other rather than predicting the future?

When you win at long odds, in a perfect system, it's not the bookie's money you're taking it's a share of money collected from the punters who bet on the favourite (minus the bookmaker's margin).

The bookie shouldn't care what's likely to happen or not, their pricing should be based on the collective opinions of the punters, right or wrong.

In a properly tuned system with sufficient CPU capacity there should never be any full GC pauses with G1.

To get 10msec pause times with such huge heaps requires burning a LOT of CPU time with the standard JDK collectors because they can trade off pause latency vs CPU time.

This presentation shows tuning with 100msec as the target:

http://www.slideshare.net/HBaseCon/dev-session-7-49202969

Key points from the slides:

1. HBase setup with 100 GB heaps

2. Older collectors like CMS (still the default) sometimes take long pauses, like 5 seconds (not 5 minutes).

3. The new GC (G1) must be explicitly requested in Java 8. The plan is for it to be the default in Java 9, but switching to a new GC by default is not something to be taken lightly. G1 is, theoretically, configurably by simply setting a target pause time (lower == better latency but more CPU usage). Doing so eliminated all the long pauses, but a few collections were still 400msec (10x improvement over CMS).

4. With tuning, less than 1% of collections were over 300 msec and 60% of pauses were below the target of 100 msec.

Given that the Go collector, even the new one, isn't incremental or compacting I would be curious how effective it is with such large heaps. It seems to be that a GC that has to scan the whole 100GB every time, even if it does so in parallel, would experience staggeringly poor throughput.

Value types will certainly be a big, useful upgrade.
