It is here in HN that I first heard Pablo Neruda's "No culpes a nadie". Even though a fan of Neruda I somehow had missed this. Perhaps this speaks to you something too: ## Don't Blame Anyone Never complain about anyone,…
I wish I could give you a thumbs up for speaking plain truth here. Anyway programmers will find out for themselves how best to satisfy their customer need.
In addition to your list here, I am drawn by ES6 on the backend. This is not javascript of the early days. On Differentiable Programming, you might be aware of a tensorflow counterpart in javascript:…
Nim is a languge that has good performance and I had good experience porting an enterprise Python application to Nim (for performance gain). For a new user the risk obviously is the newness of Nim but the Nim team was…
OP likes Swift and he compared it to other languages Python, Go, C++ & Rust, Julia. In the enterprise sphere that I am in, I haven't seen Swift and its hard to move a team in this direction at this point. Python already…
Written form please. This saves time in many ways, such as searching for certain chunks of information when trying to form an early opinion on how this product fits one's need. I went through your dev documentation…
Isn't it Go?
I don't miss generics either, not in the least. The interface system, Go's particular approach to it, takes me a long way ... I won't ask for any new feature for today or tomorrow. But for day after tommorow, within a…
Favourties: > Worked on most of the Go standard library. Primary author of net/http, database/sql, os/exec, Go's build/test CI system, etc. Thank you. Software poetry they are to me. And this one: > met Googler wife…
I am an average Go programmer, so I may not be deep into Go as you might be. However the mention of GOPATH catches my eye. All my issues with GOPATH went away for me when I started using the Go Modules:…

Similar to books, growing up in India I discovered “Western” music because of pirated music. The one and only reason I heard of bands like Yes, Jethro Tul, Roxy Music, Steely Dan, Dylan, Joni Mitchell, or St. Martin in…
Link to a slide set in this distribution -- the overall approach. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1cF7qFtjAzkXL_r62CjxB... A beautiful piece of work. What else to say.
A piece of jewel. Reminds me of chalk board talks of Gilbert Strang and Robert Gallager (also on youtube, mit video lectures) that celebrates this gift for teaching us something.
Consider that fact that prime-minister of Singapore knows Haskell by now http://wadler.blogspot.com/2015/04/prime-minister-of-singapo... He is already quite good with C++…
Hope we find a way to vote some of them out fast. Some months before the last big bail out legislations, in my state we had a US Senate candidate who was new in our political scene, appeared as a local man with a law…
Politicians are not at all stupid in general. The problem we have is in their selective listening after we elect them. If a legislator is not technically up to speed, considerable tax payer money goes towards hiring…
more than that, I'd say. The young auto-rikshaw man on my way to the bus station from those gates was telling me about his kidney disease and how those sisters helped raise the substantial money for a transplant ...
Recently I was in India and certain circumstances connected me with a facility for the elderly run by an order of Catholic Nuns. I visited them quite a few times and while inside those closed gates there was this sense…
I heartily wish that you continue learning Rust, another significant contribution to open source languages. What has been already commented, things such as borrow/checker are humps you work through and it will work out…
When I started an enterprise data project with a small team where Python was the familar workhorse we stopped for moment initially to think of ways to improve performance. Cython was the familiar route with Python but…

This Labor day weekend I took my old Nikon D600 DSLR on a visit to a State Forest nearby. Usually I go with no camera, I like to have my hands free to look around while my family takes snaps with iPhones which is…
This body of knowledge taught to us from early 1960's onwards is remarkable, they accomplished so much in the world. Clever 'graphical' algorithms like Karnaugh Maps that subsume more theoretical structures such as…
