I agree with you. If nationality/citizenship weren't enforced on people, suddenly so many things would be better. We wouldn't have opressive governments - people would just leave the country and left it to go bankrupt. Countries would be forced to compete on giving the best quality of life to attract labour force. Corrupt governments with inneficient policies and economy would be forced to improve or go broke. We could have decent services offered for people across the globe without huge public debts - just look at how many NGOs are capable of offering help to remote areas basically on donations and good will, now imagine it on scale. I still have hope, though.

But remember that constants in Go are untyped, so in my experience this is not such a big issue, you can do for example: f := 3.14; x := f / 2

Let's say for the sake of argument that his account was compromised.

Why lock him out? Wouldn't it make the most sense to let him get in and change his password?

If your answer is 'because the spammer/bot might change his password', realize it would be impossible to detect a spammer/bot before they start spamming, so once the bot has your password, it can login and change your password before it starts spamming. But most bots don't seem to do that.

Or lock the account such that no new email can be sent, but email can be received. At least then you aren't locked out of your archive for the last X years of your life.
Yeah, I have no clue how it got flagged. See my update above.

And yeah, I had 2FA on -- I was challenged appropriately logging in to GMail even, it was post-login where I got the "you're bad" page.

Company doesn't allow me to start a side business
After working for a digital agency as a developer for year and a half, I've decided I'd like some passive / extra income and thought about making a product / service that might benefit me (skills, money), company (they'd get a product they need for internal purposes) and potentially others (someone buying it, or using for their own needs).

Turns out, the contract I've signed says I can't do anything commercial at all that's not company branded and owned (and I'd still not get any benefits until they decide, under their own discretion, if it's worth a bonus and how big, not letting me know about it prior to completion of the project), so in their eyes I could do it in my spare time, finish it, they'd have the ownership and credit and I /might/ get a bonus. Obviously I don't like that.

I think I'll do two things:
a) continue & open source it
b) find a new job (around north London if anyone's hiring PHP devs)

I know I'm a fool for signing the contract, but I was out of uni and in need of a job quickly - but I think it's time to move on.

Am I doing the right thing? In an ideal world, I'd happily work on company projects in my own time if I was passionate about it, but last time that happened, I created a fun hackathon project over the weekend on my own in the office and it's been a year now and it's gone nowhere - no further support from the company and no money either. Plus I literally just need a bit extra income due to personal reasons.

Well, that depends on why I need the "emergency help". If I need it for their problem, then I expect it for free, given that I am already "paying" for the service with my ad views and my personal data.

If I need it because I screwed something up, that's a different (and irrelevant) discussion.

I don't mind paying for a premium account with support. But as an individual with a small data footprint I really don't have a need for Google Apps (the OP pays for extra storage which isn't evidently magic enough). If they gave me the option I'd gladly pay for the service (in fact, on some level I'd feel more comfortable).
I take it you've never had your email account hacked, then?
As the other comment points out, whether there exists a gotcha depends on the sizes, byte -> float32, int32 -> float64, etc are fine, int64 -> float64 is not. There is no reason for the compiler to be ignorant of this.

Moreover, if float means float64 (as I'd suggest be the case) and int continues to mean int32 (which it won't forever), then a lot of common cases would not require explicit casting and be safe.

I charged about the same as the "new" price for my TV (which was about half what I paid for it), because it was better. The old one supports more video formats, has better color and nicer speakers than the model that was supposed to replace it.

We were targeted by Kelora and threatened by them multiple times. Glad to see this ruling come down and to see common sense prevail. This is a great day for internet retailers and the internet at large. Last line of summary from judge states... "Defendants shall recover their costs from Kelora."
This is great news too because it is a shot at other Patent Trolls. You can't bring frivolous suits without fear of paying defendant's costs when you lose.
In my opinion Kelora knew they would probably lose this all along, but dragged it out as long as they could so they could scare other retailers in to paying for a license to use "their technology".

Hadoop's Game of Life
I can hear the die-hards screaming already about encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism.

Any die-hards screaming about all 3 of those should be viewed with a bit of skepticism. When I talked about this a lot, folks were "meh" about inheritance, especially class-based inheritance. The only thing I see as being worthy of die-hard adherence is polymorphism. Encapsulation is there to help enable polymorphism. I'll note that the degree of encapsulation varies amongst systems that call themselves OO.
The site you've linked doesn't have any Google branding. Moreover, none of the real Google blogs have adverts on them. In addition, the visual design of the page looks rather unprofessional.

It's very unlikely that this site is affiliated with Google.
Worse than the ambiguity of reading, the language is nigh ungooglable. Some queries work, but less clear-cut ones get swamped by pages that just happen to include the word "go." You can substitute "golang," but then you miss all the pages that only refer to it as "Go."
I imagine the same would be true for laptops then, but it doesn't appear to be. I guess people are just more used to the falling prices of computers than they are for TVs.

Man, I hate it when people do this. No offense to you, of course--and I'm sure your advice is backed by good data and provably worth quite a bit of money--but man do I hate it.

I can't tell you how many times I've been looking at a post and tried to find the date, whether to figure out what version of a product someone was likely talking about, or to cross reference against some other post, or to consider the post in light of other events at the time.

I realize why it's done, and I realize that this is another one of those "you are not the typical user" issues, and all that. But it's still frustrating.

Indeed. Obviously the orange looks way better than the blue, though the "orange peel" texture on it might be a bit too high-contrast.
> exactly what was advertised, a working email service

Claiming Gmail (even the free one) doesn't work when, in fact, it experiences seemingly random and very infrequent outages, is disingenuous. It's incredibly hard to make a complex application like Gmail work perfectly all the time for all its users and I'm completely sure they are well within their ToS. Much like we are willing to live with software that has some bugs, we must be willing to live with services that aren't always there.

There's certainly a lot of truth here. However, Mark Zuckerberg built the company to last. So I think it's unlikely that it will completely be marginalized.

Regarding the Zuck = Jobs. Absolutely not. Yes, they are both product people. But Mark Zuckerberg does not have the same aura or doesn't necessarily have the same depth of intellectuality that Jobs (college dropout or not) had. When I see Mark Zuckerberg, I think more of the Bill Gates or our time than an artistic genius with deep root in counter-culture lifestyle.
Confirmed. And 'please get better' works fine.

That being said perhaps people should use g3t better :-).

It is an interesting case study on overloading a channel (in-band administration vs out-of-band) and damaging legitimate traffic. A fix would be to prefix the command keys with an introducer :get <username> or :fav <user> but given the bazillion clients and such doing that would be hard.

Most famous in-band admin hack has to be the +++ syntax for Hayes modems which flipped the mode bit into 'command' mode serial comms mode. It was even patented.
> Is not instantiation etc a cross-cutting concern that violates SRP in this instance?

Right.

Which is why hes also recommending the use of DI.

It's hard to strike a balance between a strong design which takes a lot of time to work within, and one that just allows you to get things done, but once your project begins to grow in size and complexity, and testing becomes even more important, these things really do start to matter.

It's difficult to internalize until it's bitten you on the ass, hard.

That said, if you have a large amount of single method classes, you might need to take a look at why you need them and find a better approach (which will vary from project to project).

I'm a tech entrepreneur and MIT grad who is an avid pilot and type rated on single pilot jets. I've personally visited John in Montana. This project is doing groundbreaking aerodynamic work in a garage. It's what America is all about. The science is sound and based on real designs and concepts that have been studied at places like NASA but never implemented due to the risk averse hyper conservative nature of incremental airframe design and certification barriers to entry inherent to the aviation industry. This project is worth backing. John has the goods.
Isn't this the command pattern, except instead of 'execute' you use 'call'?

Decent distinction, though what I really like about Stephenson is that he does both. His novels are almost always a case of "what if I explore this idea (or concept) and its implications/impacts on society".

I'd split the line more along the old-school of Clarke v. Asimov, where Clarke generally has more believable character development and looks at societal impacts (especially in his later works), and Asimov tends to focus more on technology and ideas, with more two-dimensional characterization.

There's also the straight-out fantasy / rollicking space-cowboy genres.
Is the question and answer an inside joke? I don't get it.
Gmail isn't free. We are paying for it with our eyeballs. Gmail would only be 'free' in the way that you imply if Google was getting nothing in return. Just because money isn't changing hands doesn't mean it's free.

I think that model creates a moral hazard considering that in this instance the account was locked down by Google.

I think its due to the perception that TVs work for a long time without failure, and hence hold their value since they can still be used for many years to come.
That's true, and it will probably change fairly soon, but there are a whole range of safe integer to float casts that will still exist even if int changes from int32 to int64.

And these safe casts should be transparent so that people who regularly do things with floats don't feel like second class citizens in the language.
I do use Chrome, but no GMail related extensions (and specifically not either of those.)
Nope. Completely untrue. They benefit from us using their services. We are doing them a favour by choosing them over others - their business is built upon people using their services.

If everyone just their our money back (£0) and stopped using Google's services, they wouldn't have a business any more.

By using a service such as Gmail, we've trusted them and invested our on-line lives in them in order that they can monetise that usage and grow their business.

It is completely unacceptable when that trust is betrayed and they cut you off without recourse.

Back when I was in college, 2003-2007, I remember going to lecture halls and sitting in the back. Every student had a laptop out, and all they were doing was posting garbage on other peoples walls. I was so disgusted with the popularity contest that was facebook, I vowed never to take part in it.

I guess I keep it around for the fringe use cases where maybe an old friend will move to my current city, and learn that I live here.
Then again, I could close the account and never miss it.

Generally speaking, it ends up much less graphical, which is the major failing of Emacs in comparison to Lights Table, but if the functionality is what you are looking for, instead of the pretties then Emacs has similar development time. I'm not saying there is no value in Lights Table, but we should just be clear on exactly what the advantages are.
Today not having a Facebook account is kind of like not having TV was (and in some cases, still is) in the past. We state it proudly and often because there are few enough of us that we feel the need to justify ourselves. (I'm firmly in both camps.) The fact is this article doesn't really seem to add anything new, and trots out the same arguments as dozens of other articles I've seen in the last few months.

That's not to say it's wrong, just kind of redundant.
Haha. Accidentally punny?
As a parent I cannot express how profoundly useful it can be for your child to find their 'people' at this age. Some people don't find their cultural match until college or even later.

And as I have told my kids, find one other member of your 'tribe' and you can find the rest, since finding someone who knows others like them is more common than discovering people who have yet to identify their common interests. I was lucky in that I discovered the 'hacker/makers/tweaker' community when I joined the Amateur Radio club in High School.

As the other comment points out, whether there exists a gotcha depends on the sizes, byte -> float32, int32 -> float64, etc are fine, int64 -> float64 is not. There is no reason for the compiler to be ignorant of this.

Yes, but too much variance in how the compiler reacts depending on local implementation details can be quite messy. The principle of least surprise would recommend leaving the feature out, especially since Go dispenses with compiler warnings. Otherwise. we could have the situation where something compiles just fine on your desktop, then breaks when compiled for a different platform like NaCL. How would the developer know this on the desktop, ahead of time? By leaving the feature out, you get a more informant and reliable tool.

I used to have an account. But then I realized that what was going on around me was pretty much a mixture of voyeurism and narcissism. People posting stuff about "My new pair of jeans", "my new belt", "my abs", "my biceps" or sitting there and groking people's personal details.
I deleted my account.
Later at a point, I rejoined because there was someone I wanted to keep in touch and Facebook was the only option due to a number of reasons. But I had already become a Facebook sceptic, and again deleted it for good about one year ago.
