Go is being used quite a bit for crud. I've spent the last year at a big co where that's what it's used for. I think the old problem of the ambiguous word "systems" comes in here - op-systems vs ent-systems. Go is for ent-systems not op-systems. A lot of ent-systems are crud, including microservice hell where 95% of the program is boilerplate config, http, metrics, logging, crud, wrapping a couple of tiny functions that were mildly interesting to program.
Edit: ah, further down in the article: "Smallfuck is a minimalist programming language which is known to be Turing-complete when memory restrictions are lifted."
"predation dominates the universe" -- if they're so advanced, with access to swathes of the universe, why would they bother hunting us?
"Just like aborigins from America flashing lights to european explorers." How can a species so advanced be compared to people on sailing ships?
I have to say, I think that if you have a problem with "Rust" then you lose credibility in your criticism of "Cockroach".
Contrary to most above, I think "Cockroach" is great. It's suitable. Any suit who has a problem with it should get back on their side of the office, and stop sticking their nose in things they know nothing about, especially when so evidently closed minded. There are too many people in that meeting. Hell, even "Google" is a crap name, sounding like a baby word, and "Mongo" can be outright offensive. I expect anyone who has an issue with the name "Cockroach" is probably not going to be too open to the cutting edge anyway, so wasted concern.
I can't see what the previous poster's flagged comment says, but I gather it's pro-go anti-rust. I work at a large organisation which is switching to Go - I don't like what I'm seeing, and as a result have spent the last year gradually switching to Rust. Popularity can be a good thing, and it can also be the death of a thing. I thoroughly enjoyed Go for a few years, but I'm afraid the signal to noise ratio looks like it's going to plummet.
This must vary from country to country. The adventures I participated in with scouts were not even remotely as adventurous as some school trips and holidays.
Knowing little about this stuff, would it not be possible, and preferable, to eject them? Also, how realistic would it be to turn off liquid boosters, as they seem to usually fail with an immediate explosion?
I've only been to Berlin once, but the current carriages don't look particularly modern. I thought they were probably from the 50s. Evidently not. When were they made?
This makes me think of the Brian Cox wonder-tone. Everything he says has a tone of wonder so thick that I can't watch his documentaries. Presumably it works for another audience.
I read somewhere, at some point, couldn't provide a ref, that the caps were used for clarity back in the days of monochrome screens. Now, with colour syntax highlighting it's no longer as useful.
I use org mode, and thought it would be a gentle way of establishing some familiarity with emacs. But whenever I want to do anything other than the slightest edits to my todo files I open the file in vim! Emacs just has no built in functionality, everything has to be implemented. It's like raising a baby - teach it eat, drink, crawl. Eventually it will be somewhat capable, but then I can't simply fire it up on another machine. Maybe I'm missing something, but every time I look up the simplest edit, I'm presented with 30 lines of code. Maybe the gentle approach is not the way to get going with emacs. Anyway, point being I'm also looking for a vim alternative.
Agreed. Where I find this especially bizarre is in technical companies, or even the tech department of a company. There's a layer of devs, then a glass ceiling, then above that countless layers of management.
Agile is barely different to how teams I worked on in the 90s operated, naturally, without trying to implement and enforce a new holy grail, chase the rainbow routine of machinic efficiency. I find it really is much ado about nothing, the emperors new clothes. An anal retentive formalising and trumpeting of common sense. I recall only one project which was waterfall, and the rest were used as soon as they were useful. I have an agile coach at my current job. As far as I can tell his job is to be the expert at drag and drop in Jira, and peeling post it notes. The only good thing I can say about agile is that it fills a space that will otherwise be filled with the next holy grail gimmick which management won't be able to resist as they sell themselves and their new magic power up the corporate ladder. I'm neck deep in this farce at the moment.

Isn't that the underlying idea of the EU - we're all the same, all in it together, etc. I think this is exactly what has gone wrong - head in the sand regarding differences. Everyone likes their own culture, hence population clustering and ghettoisation. On the contrary, I think the differences need to be acknowledged, and compromises allowed to let people manage as much of their own affairs in their own way as possible. People can't complain about the EU if the EU isn't forcing anything upon them.
The member state chose not to be in it for long-known reasons. If the EU learns the concept of democracy from this, and entertains the idea of loosening its stubborn insistence that things set up in a way that has long been problematic and is now seriously damaging, they might dare to consider some flexibility and the idea of loose coupling.
Edit (I forgot my point and finished too soon :)
If the EU relaxed a little the departing member state may democratically u-turn.
