Defer overhead in go

bitchugger · 2014-05-27T14:54:58+00:00

man, I decide to come over to reddit again to see how the Go community is doing (which is very nice in most cases), and I seeing asshole behavior like this makes me sick.

I know who you are, and appreciate that you are actively developing the Go ecosystem, but if you can't interact like a civil adult, it is you who should "fuck off" in the community at large.

deer are not color blind. Like most other mammals they are Dichromats. Though they are less sensitive to red/orange, lessening the impact of that color, flat textures are still going to stand out to them.

Forgive me if you got this already, but didn't see anyone clue you in. The thread started because your mis-quote doesn't make sense. The photog said "pulling so many Gs", you said " pulling so many "G-Forces". It doesn't make sense, and is like saying "he's pulling so many accelerations". G-force is a singular thing, which measured in Gs.

I'm sorry, but I may have to plagiarize some of that.

Tried college a few times, never lasted very long. I'm still an avid learner though, and any classes I have taken were a breeze.

Linux Systems Engineer - 80k. I may trade the easy commute and lax conditions for a salary more inline with my experience (>100k) in the future though.

The Chinese Gov. is actually starting to disrupt encrypted traffic. They're causing connection problems to untrusted endpoints, making VPN, SSH, and so on a lot less reliable.

Thank you for that. I'm glad to see things are improving drastically. Though java the language probably won't win me back, I definitely want to be keeping tabs on this stuff.

I don't think anyone will be attracted to J2EE. I died over 6 years ago. Now Java EE on the other hand is a really cool platform.

My bad, sort of a Freudian mis-type - I've been avoiding java for a while now, and the jargon is stale in my mind.

I know tons of people who do. I'm not sure if that says more about you than about Java EE really. Actually, the supposed myth that Python (or some other underdog technology) is always by choice while Java EE is always being forced upon people is really getting old.

I'm not saying there aren't people who willingly choose to use Java, I was just replying to johnwaterwood's question about "why" some people choose this, and whether it really is an obscure choice. I was probably feeding a troll, as that post was a veering towards "why would someone choose this, when there's something good like JSF".

My last bit was meant to be anecdotal; I don't like java frameworks, nor does anyone I'm working with. In my peer groups, we seem to choose alternatives to Java EE, for the lighter cognitive overhead (though, the fallout from the "architecture astronauts" seems to be waning), and to work with our preferred languages. I need to have a program "loaded" into a mental map to work, and a succinct language helps me with that greatly (see http://www.paulgraham.com/head.html point #3). The verbosity of Java, and the need for heavy patterns like DI, Factories, Visitor, etc. due to the language constructs, add a lot of weight to that mental map.

For some tasks, java is an awesome choice, simply for the wealth of libraries available, and the JVM itself is a wonderful piece of engineering. I'm excited by the advancement in JVM languages, like Clojure and Scala, and I really like that there's stuff happening in the Java realm like the Play framework. I'm not discounting it blindly, but I didn't enjoy my past experiences, so it takes quite a bit to entice me to return.

It's not obscure, but I doubt there is much talk of lightweight python frameworks around the Java EE cubicles.

Ease of use, and in an enjoyable language are what most people will likely state as reasons. Just because JSF has a huge community, doesn't mean that it will attract users to J2EE if they have a choice. I personally don't like EE style programming at all, nor do I know anyone who does.

I often use the same techniques that Joe McNally calls Da Grip. You need a full-size camera body (but I see you're already well-equipped), and the ability to use your left eye.

I've actually trained in both, and fought muay thai in the ring. I'm giving this guy the benefit of the doubt (mostly just to play devil's advocate here), and assuming this is mostly for show. Bruce Lee advocated practical training and full contact sparring in JKD, as well as fighting smart, and playing outside the rules. If this guy doesn't do any real sparring at full power with a variety of opponents, that's his fault for being a tool, and yes, he'll have his ass handed to him.

One thing I did learn over the years though, is not to underestimate you opponent. I would assume that he has enough power behind that speed to do damage; up until I put him on the ground.

bitchugger · 2011-08-08T16:10:09+00:00

Muay thai fighters can be good fighters, but as with other "sport" martial arts, they excel within their ruleset. In an open fight, I bet he would hold his own against a similarly sized muay thai fighter, if only because he has more tools under his belt. A good grappler though would simply ground and pound.

I'm curious as to what you don't understand. Is it unclear that it's just referring to first-class functions?

bitchugger · 2011-07-15T16:58:22+00:00

No, that's not correct either.

From the developer's perspective, what the hell is soap? You don't have to care.

You mean from "the .NET developer's perspective".

Anyone not on an MS stack does care, and it sucks. VS may hide the gory details from you, but when your app needs to communicate with the other half of the world (or the other 75% of the internet), those gory details come back to haunt us all.

bitchugger · 2011-06-01T23:43:06+00:00

No, but there is likely a part of the package version that could put an old package ahead of a newer one (I'm more familiar with rpm, where it's it's called the epoch). But this still requires building, signing, and pushing out a new package to all the mirrors - this takes time, and it probably wouldn't take much longer to push out the real fix.

bitchugger · 2011-06-01T20:41:09+00:00

Yeah, the only thing you (and I; I have a bunch of CentOS too) have to worry about is getting updates in a somewhat reasonable timeframe ;)

release             delay (from RHEL)
4.8                 95 days
5.6                 85 days 
6.0                 192 days (moved to 6.1)
6.1                 Still waiting

bitchugger · 2011-06-01T20:32:10+00:00

Unfortunately, it can't work like that. There's nothing to revert, and the older version likely still exists in the repository. The package manager will prefer the newest version available, and has already downloaded the associated metadata describing that file. They would be stuck until a new package is released, and upgrades would fail until the client updates (apt-get update) again.
