> We had been grappling with what we should do for most of August 2013 and had another idea that I planned to debut at Monitorama in Berlin in late September. The conference was all about monitoring and I thought it would be a good place to find a receptive audience for a new monitoring product.

What was it?

Dash 3 supports iOS remote, works like a charm: https://blog.kapeli.com/dash-3

Never used Windows or FreeBSD guests, but what's wrong with Ansible provisioning?

https://github.com/mitchellh/go-mruby There are others, but that one looks complete.

But then you have to remove blank identifier to actually use package.

It uses goimports for that.

You may want to configure your editor to use goimports: https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/tools/cmd/goimports

You mean http://www.gonuts.io?

> or if this is just a law giving the state the authority to collect your private keys from your systems (via however they want to accomplish this)

That. No details are available. People say they have no idea how to accomplish this.

Discussed in other thread. I assume those users were created automatically.

Yes, it's 2016, but they say that passwords were collected in 2011-2012/2013. Also, phrasing in Russian sources suggests that passwords were not dumped from DB, but actively collected by other means.

GitHub tells me:

> One of our mostly harmless robots seems to think you are not a human. Because of that, it’s hidden your profile from the public. If you really are human, please contact support to have your profile reinstated. We promise we won’t require DNA proof of your humanity.

I use GitHub since 2008 and pay for it since 2010 – and that's what I get. Crazy, just crazy. I hope it will be resolved soon, but announcement is really messed up.

> server-side was largely in go for a long time now

I guess I call "a new" what you call "a long time now". Dropbox is using Go for about 3 years.

> While much of Dropbox’s back-end infrastructure is historically written in Go

I'm sorry, but much of Dropbox’s back-end infrastructure is historically written in Python, not Go. Go is a new addition to the stack. Only a small and very specific part of Dropbox is written in Rust, where things like an effectiveness of CPU caches becomes important. Other back-end code is still being written in Go.

b) That's Conway's law: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_law

In my opinion, Lua is better-designed language. JavaScript has horrible parts.

There are some Lua 5.2 extensions: http://luajit.org/extensions.html

Sorry for nitpicking, but: in Russian language Vlad is the short form for Vladislav, not Vladimir.

Go makes it really easy to linters (lexer and parser in standard library, simple AST, etc.), so there is a robust linger for that: https://github.com/kisielk/errcheck

Why major version change, why 5.0 after 4.0.1?

> One glaring problem in the Golang space is the memory model doesn't offer Happens-Before guarantees.

It does: https://golang.org/ref/mem#tmp_2

Wow, Go has a really long history! http://first-commit.com/golang/go

My guess that Michael is (in git terms) committer, not patch author. Would be interesting to see table for authors.

Erlang/OTP: http://www.erlang.org/faq/introduction.html

Search for "golang".

My initial thought as an author of "traditional" package manager http://gonuts.io was like your. But then I understand that there is no dependency conflicts. Libraries A and B vendor library C, maybe even different versions C1 and C2 of it. Then your project uses A and B and knows nothing about C. As along as libraries don't do anything stupid like modifying http.DefaultClient, everything is fine.

Several years ago I found this Little Manual of API Design, and found it very useful. It discusses boolean arguments among other things. http://www4.in.tum.de/~blanchet/api-design.pdf

Fun fact: Ariya Hidayat, PhantomJS author, is VP of Engineering at Shape Security.

In the end there is no need to embed (exported) io.Writed, it should be replaced with non-exported non-anonymous field.

Yes, me. It works. :) Also it's used by "go test -cover".
