The statement

value, err := redis.Integer(client.Do("GET", "mykey"))

sets the int variable "value" to the decimal integer stored in "mykey". The variable err is set to a non-nil value if the value cannot be parsed as a decimal integer, the key is missing, the key is not a redis string, the connection is broken or any other error.

This method of error handling is convenient because the application only needs to check for one error. The alternative is to do something like:

v, err := client.Do("GET", "mykey")
if err != nil {
// handle command error
}
p, ok := v.(string)
if !ok {
// handle error where p is not a redis string
}
i, err := strconv.ParseInt(string(p))
if err != nil {
// handle parse error
}

There is no trap. If the connection to the server is healthy and the value stored for "mykey" is a decimal encoded integer, then redis.Integer(client.Do("GET", "mykey")) returns that integer.
The self imposed parts keep one sane.

What use cases is this good for? It seems to be fundamentally broken on both desktop and mobile for even basic functionality. There's something that solves only some very narrow provide problem better than existing solutions; that offers clear, if niche, value. But I don't see how this rises to that level.
Interesting figures about L-39 jet trainers. The US currently has 242 in private ownership ("N" tail number), involved in 14 fatal accidents since 1998. So a private L-39 would have had a >5% risk of killing its pilot to date, or about 0.4%/year.

For comparison, the motorcycle fatality rate is about 0.1% per registered motorcycle per year,

As an employee, this strategy has always felt fake and look like make believe work. For example, a long time ago, during a previous firm's crunch time, we had the CTO sit and write code. The guy could write code but he was also not as familiar with the code base and it seemed like there were better things he could do with his time than make it seem like he was out there doing his best with the troops.

It is really excellent if you will actually use the pen. I love pen input (I have a Note III and a Surface 2). I love using Hyper-V -- which seems much faster than VirtualBox (on Windows).

I went through like 7 devices prior to sticking with this one -- Macbook Air and Pro, Asus Transformer, X301, Pixel ... and others. None of them had all the things I wanted in one place... the Surface 2 is just about a perfect fit for me.

I doodle on it (pressure sensitive pen is AWESOME), I take hand written notes, I run Ubuntu and CentOS in Hyper-V for work stuff, I run Visual Studio, I play League of Legends (1080p mid-low settings) and it is just my go-to device when I am not on my desktop.

I purchased it on a complete lark -- just to have one, and it is quickly become my go to device when traveling. It is a machine of compromises... it has a "good" screen, it has "good" battery life, it has "good" performance, it has "good" pen input, it has a "good" weight. Not exceptional in any category, but if you want something that places in all of them -- it is perfect.
Does the L-39 not have an ejection seat standard?

After skimming a few of the reports, at least 2 of the accidents were due to racing or aerobatics. I imagine that carries somewhat of a risk regardless of aircraft.

I've always dreamed of owning an L-39 since that can be had for around $200K

Reddit isn't profitable yet but is much larger and keeps its staff relatively small compared to its traffic volume.
The type of content does not matter, can you think of any significant written work pre-internet that purposely obfuscates when it was written? Even an encyclopedia isn't shy about when it's written.

If you want your content to appear valuable vs less valuable, write the hell out of your content. Make it impossible to discount the content by making it stand out.

In science, researchers don't cherry pick and refer studies written in the last 5 years. They go back as far is relevant. They will refer back to hallmark papers regardless how old. Same with nonfiction books. Same with well written blog posts, because good blog authors often cite references to give the proper context. That's kind of the point of blogging, the power of linking and building upon what has already written. But making a piece of content float in some unspecified time vortex disrupts that.

What's more is that a clear date indicates that the author wrote it at a certain time. It makes it harder to distinguish people that copy content or write about similar copycat ideas from their more original authors.

For what it's worth, I'm not against the idea of situating your content in the best way possible. I think using categorization like tutorials/articles/essays is a better way of framing certain types of content. That can help the reader. Hiding the date meta is an attempt to help the author, while hampering the reader. It doesn't even add up.
Of course not. If an individual evades taxes or launders drug money they can expect harsh penalties in criminal court, or jail time. If a multi-billion dollar international bank does it then nobody will go to jail and at best only a fine will result.

Thank you for your comment. It refreshing (not because it involves my company (although that helps), but because it sets the right tone for the community). Encouragement with constructive criticism combined results in greater good.

TBH I'm not sweating it at all. I understand the criticism. Some of it is fair commentary from thoughtful people, some is typical cynicism that blinds the otherwise intelligent. At the end of the day, the only difference between a bug report and a rant is the tone of voice used to communicate.

I'm mainly trying to provide counterpoint so that others who have yet to make up their own mind have the opportunity to do so. Many discussions can often get trapped moving in the direction in which they start. Get of on the right foot and things evolve excessively positive without constructive criticism. Get off on the wrong foot and things spiral out of control into doom and gloom. Regardless of which way it goes, doing a reality check lets the conversation focus on criticisms that actually have merit instead of the devolving into the mutual admiration society or a grand hate parade.

"After skimming a few of the reports, at least 2 of the accidents were due to racing or aerobatics."

Yes, I should have said this explicitly. The risk isn't caused by it being poorly-engineered, but that as an aerobatic fighter jet it will tend to attract risk seekers. So I guess it'd be analogous to, say, crash rates involving sports cars.

Incredibly long comment just to say you find patio's writing long.
Describing someone as being "off the reservation" means they need to turn around and go back where they belongs a.s.a.p. The expression is pejorative because it rests on the idea is that Native Americans are actually okay when they're on reservations, and likewise, that they're out of place anywhere else. In reality, reservations are more like prison camps without walls into which these people been unceremoniously dumped.

If you want a brief, brutal look at what "the reservation" really means, see this short film from Aeon called "Honor the Treaties". You'll see exactly why the casual acceptance of reservations as places where anyone "truly" belongs is so problematic.

http://aeon.co/film/the-real-legacy-of-manifest-destiny/

Getting back to the expression, it should be avoided for the same reason that you'd avoid analogies to slave plantations or concentration camps that imply these institutions were benign, defensible things. It's far better to use the phrase "way out of line", which conveys the same meaning, but without the unthinking disregard for genocide, theft of land, and institutionalized deceit that underpin most reservations. For the people who live on reservations, or are connected to those who do, the term is loaded with a lot of bitterness, futility, alienation, and despair. Not to put too fine a point on it, but suicide rates among young people who grow up on reservations are double what they are anywhere else in America.

As an aside, the Navajo reservation is an interesting exception to this rule in that it encompasses the territory on which the Navajo have lived for more than 10,000 years, and not some crappy godforsaken piece of land to which they were forcibly relocated. So there's a bit more pride in that case. But a history of dismissal and segregation means there's still an unbelievable amount of poverty. As time goes by they look more and more like wounds that never heal.

I didn't realize there there was a name for it. Nobackend. catchy. I use SharePoint server as a nobackend solution. All the apps I write are client-side JavaScript. User profiles, permissions, and authentication are left to SharePoint to deal with. I create lists, query and update them via web services provided out of the box. Even search is provided by a web service, so I don't have to worry about indexing content. All I have to do is build user-centric clients for dealing with the data. It's brilliant.

Hoodie sounds like a great generalization for that, in a public/non-corporate domain. Plus it has events for displaying data changes immediately. What's not to like?

Your comparisons are about telling kids certain things are bad, but the premise in this article is about telling kids it's good.

It's not a valid comparison.

You then compromised by saying to tell them the bad things, but that's not what the article says.

And BTW telling them "emotionally dangerous" is impossible - they just won't get it.

> I see my job as a parent to prepare my children to be an adult.

Certainly, but there is no need to tell them about it early, as the kid in the article was. Wait until this is something they physically are able to do, then tell them honestly.
Sounds great. In a broader context, I don't know why people pick on Go (aside from it being an 'evil Google creation') -- especially when many of Go's critics are _also_ people who claim to support simplicity and consistency in programming languages. I have a good feeling Go will become dominant in the no-so-distant future, so rather than knock it, why not help grow it / make it better?
That's not unduly convoluted for Victorian English. It's mostly concrete language that sets up a scene pretty well. I'd say it isn't half bad, and surely not the worst opening sentence of any English novel. There has to be some other reason why it acquired that status.
For me, stdlib + some mux library is still the way to go until someday I see the shortcomings.

As far as I know, Credit Suisse didn't evade taxes, that they as a corporation had to pay. What they did, was help American individuals evade taxes in the US.

And the bank isn't even based in US, but in Zurich. As far as I know, they only have their investment banking arm in New York.

So what the US government is doing here is a) converting the attractiveness of the American market into cash for the government (which might be kinda OK, I dunno) and b) using their control of dollar settlements to bully foreign banks into following the US law (which is a somewhat dick move).

So many TV programmes uses GoPros nowadays. Every outdoor show uses those. They just strap them in the weirdest places. 10 GoPros is something like 5000 euros and with that a fishing show can be sure that they will catch a nice angle when the big fish eats the lure.

Car shows? Just put one camera to every corner, on the roof, on the dash, trunk and what ever. Because why not?

Biking in some lifestyle/feelgood show? You can put couple cameras to every bike. When hiking everybody can have a camera.

No, the picture quality is not as good as with professional cameras, but few second clip from awesome angle with OK quality is better than great quality from bad angle.

Yes, running in background and checking the status of the pid is coming to mind when one has to do that Bash. I always feel that it's stretching beyond the normal level of usage. For example what can you do with the output? There is no way to sync it unless you'll capture it in a file and analyze later. In cases when I need to write something parallelized I feel that using Bash isn't the best idea.
I believe that it's not uncommon for the ejection seats in private L-39's to be inop, my guess would be due to the cost to keep them maintained and/or that the consequences of a poorly maintained system ejecting spontaneously or accidentally is worse than just having them disabled. I know that when I had the chance to fly the second seat in one, I had to wear a parachute and was instructed on how to pop the canopy and bail out in an emergency situation.
Your use of the racist, heteronormative acronym "FYI" is quite problematic.
Exactly. EE here who used to do Robotics. Pay a bit more and get components that can be plugged together in the simplest possible way. Then once you get the prototype working, you can get some fancy HW people to design the system/chip/whatever and throw it into a factory in China.
Like I said - consumer ready? I do not think that word means what you think it means. A consumer consumes. Assume this consumer isn't me and they want to visit my house and can't find a street that is 8 years old - they will be cursing their "consumer ready" map and use something else. They won't show up late to my house and ask me why I haven't added my neighborhood to some map they use that I haven't heard of.

If there is some milestone for the project I'm happy for ya, but "Go map your neighborhood" isn't "Consumer Ready".

How can the minimum (or, actually,the maximum) legible distance be smaller than the average?

Yeah, but the problem with any of these old/'affordable' ex-fighter/trainer jets is that when something of any significance breaks, you might as well just walk away from the plane because fixing it will cost more than what you paid for the thing.

Dead serious here, besides meeting the definition of "fitness for use" by the common app user, it's as important to meet the definition of "fitness for use" by those that will be tasked with implementing an app that is built upon our framework and by extension uses our scrollview.
