180lbs x 10 gives you an estimated 1RM in the 240lbs region, which at a body weight of 155 puts you closer to advanced than intermediate, if you did them with full range of motion (based on this site: http://www.exrx.net/Testing/WeightLifting/StrengthStandards.... ). So that's pretty good - it puts you in a range that's expected for someone who have spent a few years doing weights.

But my point is that even people who want to get bigger seem to fail to progress more often with body weight exercises than with weights because the progress is so easy to measure: Either your numbers go up, or they don't, and while people do certainly cheat themselves with poor form or range of motion, I see less of it with weights than with body weights. Perhaps the biggest problem for people getting started with body weight exercises is that they don't know how to progress and so a lot of them end up dicking around with the same basic exercises with the same rep ranges without ever getting anywhere.

Conversely if you do know how to progress and is strict, you can do amazing things with body weight exercises - it's not unusual for high level gymnasts to be able to go straight in and put weight lifters to shame without ever lifting regularly, for example.

I'm a Go developer using Go for commercial projects in production.

I can tell that the article and its comments is absolutely misleading. Seems that the developer(s) are trying to justify the lack of professionalism and blame language/tools/someone else. In the article I see total misunderstanding of how the Go ecosystem works, strange decisions, obvious failures during development and weird situations like 'original dev cannot compile the code anymore'.

I think an engineer should have a decent understanding of the tools/concepts/... BEFORE starting to use them. Not AFTER some problems occur.

For most customers, maybe, but I suspect there's a pretty
sizable portion of the population (myself included) that
will happily pay more for an airline that treats me
extraordinarily well, considers my comfort while on board,
and gives me reasons to shout their name down the street.

I'm not an air travel expert, but as I understand it many airlines offer seats in classes such as 'economy', 'business class' and 'first class' with differing prices and comfort levels. Isn't there both demand and supply for higher comfort levels at higher prices?

When you fly, do you pay a premium for business class or first class accommodation?

>>Go was merely started by some a team working at Google as a side project
>History shows that a lot of extremely successful things started out that way.

Also a lot of failures. But both cases are beside the point. I didn't correct him on whether Go is good or not. Just in that it was not started officially by Google.

>That's a bit of an understatement. Go has hundreds of contributors, and is already used by thousands of companies.

And yet it's still a totally marginal language in the grand scheme of things. Not even 1/100 of what something like Java or .NET is, for example.

>Definitely not. For that matter, neither is Dart.

Agreed on Dart (and I don't think I said it was). But .NET and Java were.

>You make it sound like Go isn't being used at Google, which is disingenuous. No, it probably hasn't replaced the crawler and pagerank logic--it'd be silly to rewrite all of that--but it is continuously being picked for new projects internally. Some of the few such projects that have become public are Vitess, the database frontend that powers YouTube, and the code that powers dl.google.com.

Yes, I've read about both, I follow Go since the beginning. Those two quite humble projects are the only things that have become publicly known for 2 years now. A db load balancer (which had some Go issues they had to code around even), and an abandoned part of Google infrastructure in C++ that a Go team member volunteered to rewrite in Go.

>however that description has been removed since Go has proved useful in other areas. It is now simply a general-purpose programming language.

I believe the reason it that description has been removed was because people complained that "systems software" means specifically OSs, drivers and such, not just backend software.

> Go is not a language focused around individual productivity in any capacity or scope.

Seems to have been my impression as well. Lisp with its macros can make an individual programmer who doesn't need to worry about coding conventions incredibly productive. I see Rust has a semi-powerful macro system too although not to the extent of Lisp, as it doesn't look like you can evaluate arbitrary code at compile time.
I've got that hotkey mapped to another function in my window manager.
My personal opinion it can be improved to be easier to skim through for job descriptions. There is too much information on the page, the number of jobs per page is small and it looks like there is no focus on jobs itself. I find this website http://www.workinstartups.com/ for the startup jobs in the UK way easier to use for job search.
In e.g. Sweden, the communists stooped being Stalinists when Moscow told them that Stalin was bad... They did start to critizise the Eastern block dictators early... about 1990!

(There were also anarchists etc, but in general the non-communist extreme left-wingers were few before ~1968, when they got more numerous and varied).

Also, I remember reading surprise after 1989 on how much control Soviet had over the West European communist parties. E.g. that the Italian communist party had such an accomodating attitude by order (Soviet wanted to get a de facto split in Western/Eastern Europe.)

I find the maps they make really pretty, but the technical stuff doesn't quite deserve the hype. This seems like blue marble, which NASA did in 2005 (and every month since).

That said it should yield a dataset with twice the resolution of Blue Marble, which is cool. The size of a pixel will be 250m, i.e. a small town will be 2 pixel, as opposed to 1 pixel.

For high resolution imagery, you'd need to pay. There is 0.5m data out there, for about $5+ a kilometer, and I'd love NASA to dump a whole world data-set of this. But until then, I think Google and ESRI are safe.

Also if the airline wants to maintain an 80% capacity, having an extra x% of seats means they add to revenue if they can maintain that occupancy percentage. In this case we don't even need to factor in 100% occupancy, which if anything would help the numbers as I'm sure last seats on a fully booked flight aren't cheap.
Yeah, it sounds very dubious to me that the amount of code in Go ends up being much less than what's required to achieve the same in Lisp. From what I've seen Go looks verbose in comparison with the lack of macros and higher level programming.

Many reasons:

- Binary artifacts under version control is no-no for me, unless we're talking assets. Third-party libraries are not assets.
- Where do these DLLs come from? How do I know it's not some patched version built by a developer on his machine? I have no guarantee the library can be upgraded to fix a security issue.
- Will the DLLs work on another architecture?
- What DLL does my application need, and which ones are transitive dependencies?

That's many questions I shouldn't have to ask, because that's what a good package management system solves for you.

I am currently contracting for a company in London, using more or less the same technologies as you do. They asked me to help build their team as well, so I know both sides of the table.

I would not even think twice offering a job to someone decent with javascript at £45K. The job is 9-to-5, the company is mature, has been around for 2 decades, will probably still be in another 2.

Betting companies are pushing the market upwards. Every person who took another offer over mine went to a betting company. So I have a feeling that I am only pitching for people who are morally against betting.

The thing is that Megaupload didn't do that. They were actually well known for refusing to pay uploaders of copyright infringing content, and despite the DoJ carefully selecting the e-mails they presented in court this was even mentioned in one of them.

One of the e-mails presented as evidence Megaupload paid copyright infringers talked about them relaxing their policy and paying someone with copyrighted content uploaded to their account a commission for downloads because none of those downloads involved the copyrighted content. (Presumably they were using their account for backups or something, I don't know.)

>> For starters, airline customers care almost exclusively about price.

I wish that wasn't the case. I'd gladly pay an extra £20 on an international flight for decent food, and I regularly do pay an extra £50 or so for more room or an exit row seat. I know there's a market of people like me, for whom business class is way to expensive just to make a few hours a bit more pleasant, but who aren't just counting every penny. The airlines seem to have started to cater for us with things like Delta's "Comfort Economy", but it needs to go further.
> It started out as a "systems language" (which roughly translates to "for writing backend software",

Not really. While Go was presented as suitable for writing classically backend software like databases, it was also presented as suitable for writing compilers, programming tools, debuggers, IDEs, and web browsers, none of which are "backend software."
There is no real substance in this blog post. At the end:

I chose Go because it is being developed to solve the same problems I have to solve. All by a group of scientists an programmers that are each twice as smart as I have ever been (on my best day).

So, what are the problems you are trying to solve? And why can Go solve them better than, Java, Erlang, C++, Scala, or any other language?

If you could answer that question, you'd have an interesting blog post. And if the answer is 'concurrency via Goroutines and channels' (it always is), explain why they are better than Erlang or Akka's actors, STM in Clojure or Haskell, or other proposals, and you'd have a stellar blog post.

WebGL is useful for more than just games. For example, I'm using a fragment shader to implement client-side demosaicing[0] in the web interface for my Kinect-enabled home automation hardware (link in my profile if you're curious). CSS Shaders/custom filters might serve as a partial substitute for WebGL, but IE doesn't support those either.

On the bright side, I've seen rumors that IE11 will support WebGL, but that is of little use to people stuck on XP, Vista, or W7 due to compatibility requirements of other legacy apps. As you say, IE doesn't have the dominance it once did, but for some reason it's still used in certain market segments.

Indeed your assertions about robots.txt are the expected logical response. However when the issue of copyright infringement for Google (and other search engines) came up in the past [eg storing entire page text, thumbnailing and such] the response, that was apparently accepted, was that as a protocol exists (namely robots.txt) that enabled a website owner to refuse access to works there was no actual infringement. The onus being placed on the works owner to label the work as off-limits using robots.txt.

If that line holds then the corollary appears to be that programming a robot to duplicate linked content deny-ed by robots.txt is certain copyright infringement.

Copyright law is a weird one, it sits in a sort of limbo between tort and crime hence it seems relevant to not only consider the balance of probabilities and the test for tortuous infringement but also the criminal considerations. Moreover in various jurisdictions it's a crime to access a part of a computer system without authorisation, this would appear to apply to MS's directorship in this case; such laws might "require" obedience to established protocols for determining if access is authorised [would be interested if anyone reading can cite caselaw to support/discredit this line of thinking].

I can already see the logistics and engineering nightmare of a flight devoid of seats having to bump an entire group of passengers because the next leg doesn't have enough inventory.

Seats are fixed because bolts are easy. Once you get into the whole latches and levers business you compound your points of failure. Ever look under the last row of foldable seats in an SUV? A lot of engineering goes into securing 100kg bags of meat to an object hurtling along the ground at 80km/h. Now imagine having to do the same for a plane traveling 2-3x that.
> But with economies of scale each individual unit should cost less than the one before it.

Not really. At pretty much every step of the mass-production pyramid (higher volume, lower per-unit cost), there are significant capital costs involved. The tooling for a injection mold can be in the $10-100k+. That means the first unit in subsequent process is going to be huge, because you've got nothing to amortise it over yet.
Even if the process change is free, there's almost certainly going to be some NRE work updating your designs, optimising DfM, etc.

There's an example mentioned in the excellent 'The Factory Floor'[1] where going from single-colour injection-molding plus hand-painting (with 50% defect rate) to a 'dual shot' injection-mold (with 0% defect rate) ended up costing $0.94/unit (vs $0.70 for the former; 35c each, and throwing away half)

Likewise, for small runs handing it off to Shapeways might
well be the most cost-effective, but after a certain size, it would be madness. Firstcut/Protomold[2] look like they're stepping up to be the medium-scale option, which is nice.

I really struggle to understand what is going on here. Wrong usage of a feature isn't tools fault. I saw lots of projects that messed up things with gcc and Make. So can we consider gcc and Make are both broken. Developer should know pros and cons of feature that is about to be used.

Using an unofficial release or development version of a library is always risk. It is not language dependent. Things can always be broken if you don't follow release notes on an actively developed project.
