A well-written tutorial, but mildly annoying that it starts off with a basic off-by-one error; 9am to 9pm is 13 trips, not 12, so the total trip number is 52 (which indeed is the number of trips shown in the example,…
They're describing the space in between the notes... so 4 equally spaced notes would have 3 gaps of 1:1:1 . It is indeed a bit confusing, as it says nothing about the duration of the last note, which to my ears would be…

I don't think there's the same feeling of "community" with Go as with other languages, in the same way that there's not really a C community - more a bunch of authors, evangelists and contributors who have a "stake" in…

Haha - beat me to it!

>makes it seem like parents who formula-feed are harming their children Well, if the studies are to be believed, then that's exactly what is happening. I completely understand the "pressure on mothers" argument, but I'm…
It interests me that the conclusion of these studies is almost always presented as breastfeeding increasing IQ (or conveying health benefits or whatever). Surely, breastfeeding is the norm, and this headline should be…
I messed up - I meant 2001-02-03 04:05:06 , in which case 2:05PM would be format "4:05PM", (or 16:05) . All that'd happen would be the year and seconds swap order in the "123456" format - but as I said, it's a minor…
Personally, when I first read the spec. for time.Format, I thought "well how bleedin' sensible is that?!" The only thing that annoys me is that it isn't in ISO order (I'd have preferred 2001-02-03 14:05:06 ), but all…

Reading this comment made me very very sad. I've been programming computers for over 3 decades, and this is how we started off in my day. The "MyComputerification" of IT education during the 90's has a lot to answer…
Indeed - maybe a corollary should be "in the same colour".
I heartily approve - other than the fact it means another 12 hours of my life down the drain... :)
That's the problem with reported conversation - I suspect there was a smile on his face as he was saying that, and I for one was expecting an "(audience laughter)" at the end of the sentence.
I have very much the same pre/history, along with years of Perl. Then I discovered Go, and can't recommend it highly enough for exactly the reasons and specific case you state.
If you know perl, I highly recommend Mastering Algorithms With Perl - all code and barely any symbols :)
