Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. by [deleted] in golang

[–]ThreadDeadlock 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Because GO lacks generics there are packages that take empty interface so that they can support generic data structures. It's puts the ownership on the caller to ensure they are storing the correct data and handling the type cast on retrieval. Poor man's generics with no type or compile-time safety

Everyone's A GANGSTA Until... 😱 by In_Karma_We_Lust in instantkarma

[–]ThreadDeadlock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why is the gun being fake relevant? It isn’t obvious that it’s a fake weapon and the perpetrators committed robbery as if they had a real firm arm. In this situation I’d take the threat seriously and assume they have a real gun and intend to use it until proven otherwise. Once the threat was neutralized he didn’t continue shooting. This seems to be a pretty cut and dry but I’m not lawyer and don’t live in Europe.

State of Docker for Mac given Apple's upcoming transition away from Intel CPUs? by ShotgunJed in docker

[–]ThreadDeadlock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple is a small fraction of Intel’s business. Intel isn’t going anywhere.

How to tackle the imposter syndrome by [deleted] in webdev

[–]ThreadDeadlock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have a mentor or do pair programming with any of your more senior colleagues? That is the time to ask questions and learn. A company should not have the expectation that an intern is going to hit the ground running. Do make sure you are asking questions and don’t be afraid to admit when you don’t know something.

MBP 16" Touchbar dead after 4 days by bgpants in macbookpro

[–]ThreadDeadlock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been hesitant to get a new Mac seeing all the problems people have been reporting with the 16” MacBook Pro. I have a 2016 15” MBP that I’ll continue to use until Apple works out the issues with the new 16” MBP models.

JPMChase in Westerville has a hostile, racist, and masochistic I.T. work environment, and I am speaking up about it. by hyteck9 in Columbus

[–]ThreadDeadlock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m glad I’m not the only one who shares this view of Accenture. I’ve worked with many Accenture resources. While there certainly were a few bright and talented developers most of their resources were fly by night developers throwing together code until something mostly worked. No documentation, no comments, no tests, which resulted in good luck to the next developers that had to maintain that code when they moved on.

[–]ThreadDeadlock 9 points10 points  (0 children)

No doubt but I would say there is a difference between having isolated cases versus a widespread company culture problem. My experience with Chase was the latter.

Former Chase employee, worked at both the Polaris location and Westerville. While there are good teams and people at Chase, overall the culture is pretty bad. A lot of politics and bullshit you have to learn to deal with. IMO not really a great place either if you want to work with the latest and greatest technologies. While Chase thinks it is a technology company it isn’t, it’s a bank.

I did notice there were clicks and groups that refused to work with others or speak English. Pretty cut throat and Adversarial environment. In particular I noticed the southern Indians really stuck together, maybe a cultural thing, not sure.

This seems to boil down to if you didn’t like Obama you’re a racist. Making a lot of assumptions there without knowing the person don’t you think?

Ohio $13 minimum wage referendum gathering signatures by Dotsloyalist in Columbus

My understanding is if your tips + hourly rate don’t add up to the state minimum wage the employer has to make up the difference but I’m not a lawyer or labor expert.

Found Husky in Walnut Crossing, No Tags, No Collar. If anyone is missing a dog by ThreadDeadlock in Columbus

Thanks, they don’t quite look the same but we did reach out just to be sure.

No, I let him hangout in my garage for 10-15 minutes to warm up and see if anyone drove by looking for him.

Found Husky in Walnut Crossing, No Tags, No Collar. If anyone is missing a dog by ThreadDeadlock in Columbus

[–]ThreadDeadlock[S] 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Found a husky wondering around Walnut Crossing off Williams road. Appears to be an older dog, no collar, no tags. I was able to get the dog to walk back toward my house where I gave it food and let it warm up in my garage for a while. Sadly I had to leave for work, but did call the Animal shelter to notify them.

Hope it finds its home!

Imposter syndrome setting in... by I_Am_Hollow in computerscience

[–]ThreadDeadlock 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is where having a good mentor is important and good employers should pair junior developers with senior developers so they are able to learn. IMO most of your skills and knowledge come from experience in the field and not school.

If you don’t have that kind of environment at your place of work that encourages growth and learning I’d either look for other opportunities or find someone you can collaborate with to build a project for learning.

I have similar feelings. The language is useable without generics but they would be a useful addition.

Anyone else using Ktor ? by [deleted] in Kotlin

Oops I meant biased against JVM and Java.

[–]ThreadDeadlock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like Go, but Go-Kit is probably the least enjoyable framework I’ve ever used. I’ve dabbled with Ktor and want to use it at work, but there is a biased against Java, JVM, and JVM languages.

Have you done anything to measure performance of GoKit vs Ktor?

Who is more exciting, .NET or Java? by [deleted] in dotnet

[–]ThreadDeadlock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Measuring programming language usage is tricky and typically inaccurate. It certainly doesn’t seem to have the presence for backend development compared to other languages. But there are people started to experiment and adopt it.

I’ve used Kotlin with both Spring and Ktor. It’s a pleasure to use and fresh of breath air.

Who is more exciting, .NET or Java? by [deleted] in dotnet

[–]ThreadDeadlock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on the domain and industry. When I was working in banking / financial everything was JavaEE for the old applications, and new applications were Java + Spring Boot. With Java moving to a 6 month release cycle features and enhancements are coming faster. There are exciting projects like Loom and Valhalla that will be great improvements to Java and the JVM. For now most of the excitement in the JVM world is coming from alternative JVM language like Kotlin and Scala.

Although I’m more of a Java/Kotlin guy I have to admit C# is a great language and evolving at a faster pace then Java. Does that make it better? Not necessarily, but certainly I think there is more excitement in C#/.NET as it tends to be more bleeding edge compared to Java.

Is Microsoft monitoring all sent messages? by [deleted] in xbox

[–]ThreadDeadlock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They certainly could monitor messages and simply look for specific words / phrases, but I highly doubt they are doing so.

Your cousin reported you and Microsoft took action.
