I agree, it's a work in progress. If you have more links, I'll be happy to add them. I have a much longer list of companies that use Go ( https://quicknotes.io/n/1XB0-companies-using-go ) but it's harder t

The title of this article is a manipulative propaganda. If you don't bother reading it, it suggests that Edison hired people on H1B as their own employees and then fired existing employees. The facts in this article are that Edison fir

Obviously you have way more information about this, but judging from what you've disclosed, it's a terrible investment. Stock in a company is worthless (literally, as in "worth $0") until 2 things happen: * the company g

You're asking a question that requires a book to answer. Such books are plentiful, for example http://www.nolo.com/products/form-your-own-limited-liability... The same goes for patents, for example http:/&#x

I write it fully acknowledging that programming language flamewars are pointless, but this article just shows that you don't even have to try hard to create a biased comparison. Here's the essential difference between Go and Erlan

Yes, you are missing the point. In Go, iteration order of keys was always non-deterministic. At some point it was changed to be also random i.e. iterating the same hash the second time would produce a different sequence of key/values t

You're blaming a language for a bug in your code. interface{} is nothing like void* because it's type-safe. interface{} is (type, value) i.e. it remembers the type of the value it contains. void * is just a value. Your code snippe

It's actually very false. "Security" is an invisible quality, by which I mean it cannot be easily observed and because of that it cannot be easily compared and because of that is not going to drive adoption. This is in contra

Pointing out the obvious: engineers are not "goods" that Google or Apple produces. Even if consider employees salary to fall under that dubious categorization, good luck proving the salaries were "likely depressed" when

Acman's behavior is not bad because he's shorting Herbalife. It's bad because after he bought short position, he's using his money and influence to crash Herbalife, by any means necessary, buying fake concern from variou

Of course it's Ackman's fault - he's the one bribing all those people. He's much bigger problem than people taking the bribes. He's the one trying to exploit the system for financial gain. Of course trying to ruin a

I would say that the reason he struck gold (which is different from being valuable) is because he's a good programmer who happened to work on a break away product. There are much more good programmers out there than break away products

If he was hired by Facebook, he wouldn't have (co)developed WhatsApp. If Facebook hired him, he would most likely be worth (to Facebook) as much as any other random Facebook programmer. Unless he's the one who started WhatsApp, it

I'm not the author of penflip but you're missing a big thing: Editorially had 11 people on staff ( https://editorially.com/about ). Penflip apparently is just one person. If penflip makes $500k/year, it's

It's actually the opposite of the "bus nonsense" and actually the concerns are valid. In SV, poor(er) people complain about too many rich(er) people coming in. When it comes to immigration, rich(er) people are afraid of too m

There is no gene for religion. There is a very simple explanation for religion: most people conform to the culture of their surrounding. That's why most people growing up in Muslim country become Muslims, most people growing up in Morm

Hoare didn't invent 0-valued pointer. It was there since the beginning of time. Or at least the beginning of the CPUs. People talk about getting rid of nil like it's actually possible. It's not. If you have pointers, they som

I doubt Google has as simplistic view of their business as you do. Google's bottom line is the same as everyone else's: making money. Currently, the ads are very lucrative for them and they use the money from ad business to both e

We don't need to insinuate anything. It's clear that both Microsoft and Apple are pulling the strings. They didn't collectively spend $4.5 billion to just have Rockstar do whatever they want. (Not that creating a patent troll

Not really, at least not in 1.3. As http://golang.org/s/go13nacl describes, supporting Chrome is not a goal for 1.3 release, only being able to run nacl-sandboxed executables from command line.

1. 3.8.0.2 fixed a logical error in the code. High-level language won't help you if you invert a logical condition or commit some more subtle logical mistake. 2. Our software also needs to be fast. No one needs a slow database engine.

This is serious mis-interpretation of reality. Do you think that if cricket players formed a union (maybe they already did, I have no idea), they would be paid as much as NFL players? Of course not. NFL players are paid so much because the

Almost none of the above matters (except the location). Offers are made based on your past experience and interview, before an employer can do a full psychological profile to see if you're a good fit. So number one priority is to have
