Never before has a programming language received so much marketing. It's very odd.

It's mainly binary to JSON conversion, and firing that out over HTTP a few thousand times a second. That's the only IO. Goroutines look very interesting, and as I said, ASIO (C++ async networking) is a real pain to work with. But

It's so sad to see the BBC caught up in all this. It used be a reputable news source, the BBC World Service was just that - listened to the world over. Now it's this.

What are your usecases, if you don't mind me asking? I am considering replacing our HTTP-heavy processes currently written in C++ with Go. However, after reading this thread I'm not so sure. Compilation time isn't that big of

This is a very interesting at a time when we're seeing what we can replace C++ with. (yes, rusticles, I know rust exists)

This is a little bit off. The only architecture supported by Java is the JVM. It is a fictional CPU architecture with predefined characteristics, such as a memory model. The implementation of a JVM is a mapping from a real CPU to the J VM&#

Seconded, I tried to package up a publicly available header-only tar.gz into a debian package for our private repo and found it impossible to do. I gave up.

Weren't Hong Kongers themselves asking the US to remove HK's special status? Seems like they're scuttling the ship. While China seems to think the Covid situation is an opportunity for it to increase influence, it's prob

Not sure why you're being downvoted. I can't imagine working for either company, especially in SV. I would be walking on eggshells lest someone hear, or overhear, something 'toxic' and my career gets ruined. It'd be

shared_ptr all the things? If so, they may as well write in Java.

Oh my good god. I'm hoping this is down to developer naivety rather than being a feature of rust.

There are elements of our company that want to move to Kubernetes for no real reason other than it's Kubernetes. I can't wait to see the look on their faces when they realise we'll have to employ someone full-time to manage o

Just went through this. It refused to install until I removed VMWare Workstation Pro manually. I don't have Workstation Pro installed, I do use VMWare Player though, and I need it for work. Heart-stopping. Anyway I uninstalled it, inst

I'm Irish but have been living in London for 15 years. I think about moving back occasionally but I fear about it being 'too small', and I don't particularly want to live in Dublin. I just turned 39 and this scenario is
