I think you’re underselling the amount of sophistication and refinement that goes into a modern ICE, which is the backbone of a big part of the global economy.

Nice write up! After a couple of attempts I settled on a a different approach for my old Kobo. It can connect to Dropbox so I deployed a small app in Fly.io which takes a link, bundles it as an epub and uploads to the right folder. Day-to-d

Author here, thanks for posting this! If anyone has any feedback, questions, or any additional examples of deep/shallow abstractions they've used recently, let me know!

Regarding the culture bit: I feel that Erin Meyer's "The Culture Map" [1] should be high on any reading list around how to work in a remote environment, especially as a manager. Of course, every individual is different and no

One thing to try might be contributing to Open Source? Choose a project that looks interesting to you (ideally with a large community and modern tech stack) and join their Slack/Discord/Mailing List. You'll need to be patient

If anyone is interested, I've also published a Go implementation [1] of the code for float64 slices. Results seem to exactly match the R and Python implementation, so there will be a second pass focusing on performance, stability and s

Come on, no offence, but you sound like astroturfing. I have no idea how you may be aware of a company's internal information, but the greek article you linked does _not_ mention rating system names. Also, but when using e-food there&#

+1. I couldn't get it to understand the partial derivative symbol ∂, unless it was drawn in a very specific way. But really cool idea, name and execution!

Great ideas all around here, definitely stealing some! Personally, there was a time where I grew a little fond of numeric-based naming. It allowed for quickly tabbing between directories, easy separation and predictable ordering (eg. 1xx is

Since you mentioned terminal-based tutorials, here's a terminal-based solution. Most linux systems should include script [1] and scriptreplay[2], which should suit your needs. Here's a complete example of a recorded/replayed

I think you're right regarding the verbosity, but I personally find this is outweighed by the fact that my code is 2x more likely to run correctly on the first try, and do what I expect it to.

Of course it's a matter of preference and being the right tool for the right job! Personally after using Go to build a simple ray-tracer and having to do numerical computations with it, I would really think twice before doing it agai

I was initially on the same side. But setting things up is a simple `go get`, and when you want to dive into more complex scenarios, such as concurrency-related bugs, a debugger can save the day! I'd urge you to give it a spin next tim

Yes, the project has gone a long way, as it's being used by what may be the two most prominent development environments for Go (VSCode and Jetbrains Goland). GDB still has a lot of value if you're working with a non-amd64 architec
