I can't think of a more worthless and demoralizing idea. Not all bugs are created equal, thus the measure is inaccurate.

It's not about etymology, it's about people adopting silly phrases for common terms that already exist simply to try to appeal to emotion. Rockstar developer? Really? Would a Boy Band Developer count? If you want to do that, go write fictio

All good points. It would be interesting to see the different JSON implementations in different languages benchmarked. As far as static vs. dynamic, both have their pros and cons.

Really? Another static vs dynamically typed language argument? Not this year.

FIY is an acronym. Your turn.

Exactly for that reason.

Yes, it is, although most developers I've met I would say are introverts. Of course, that's just anecdotal. :)

It's not a fact, it's my opinion. AFAIK, there is no definition of "introvert" or "extrovert" by which to divide people up. But you certainly don't build software standing and talking by the water cooler. That's my experience in the industr

That is, IMO, the nature of introversion. It is a myth than introverts cannot or hate social situations. While everyone is different, I can speak only for myself. Small talk is the bane of existence. If one has nothing of essence to say, on

You bring up a good point. Curation (filtering) has been quite a huge problem for quite some time. While I do think that traditional publishing houses provided this, they did so at the expense of great writing. So it was far from a perfect

That impact is quite disputable.

by lucian303 14y ago
"But its impact this year was indisputable." Really? How much profit or even revenue did it bring in. Because in the end, that's all that matters. Digg committed suicide by algorithm and feudalism.

Yeah, predictable three ... now four years ago. Zynga and the rest. Can you say bubble burst when FB finally goes down?

This and their re-hauled (for awhile now) UI to a horrible mess that is almost impenetrable even by seasoned UI/UX developers is most likely due to a shortage of good engineers willing to go down to Los Gatos every day. I told them, one day

And you confused yourself. This thread is about JSON support in GO.

by lucian303 14y ago
json_decode() without the second param or with it as false will create an object for you that is typed, loosely only if you mess with it afterwards. So what is the advantage other than speed? If I'm CPU bound, then yes, it's worth a look ju

I have to check it out. However, if the book really does argue from a utilitarian POV, it fails right there. Utilitarianism by itself is hardly the basis of any human's thought. Otherwise we'd all be vegans thanks to Peter Singer's "Animal

by lucian303 14y ago
Me too. The problem is that extroverts are seen as the norm in most societies and since introverts, while usually contributing a lot more, are not as well viewed. It's the high school popularity contest over and over again (especially in th

And some do both. To limited extents. As in, I can take this much recharge from people and this much from my alone time. It's really a matter of numbers, although the numbers are variable over time.

As a writer, I absolutely agree. It's also not new advice. As in hundreds of years old.

Entire history, yet published in the early '90's? Let's face it. Had Steve Jobs not returned, Apple would have been bankrupt by y2k.

Feel-good books about programming from an "evangelist." Yeah, just confess your sins and accept Apple/Whatever as your savior and you'll be a great programmer. No prior programming knowledge needed. $999,999,999 for the 2 hour seminar. Than

Traditional publishers are worthless when it comes to e-books that the author can market himself. Distribution is taken care of so only marketing/advertising is left and that can also be taken care of by a competent author. Good riddance to

"We actually don't have a good gifting tradition yet for e-books," says Sourcebooks' Raccah. Despite all the advances in reading technology, physical books are still the best Christmas presents. Yes, that is sad. Or even lending (looking at
