False | EitherBody2 | t2_2uhw9anw | As someone that uses Go as part of their daily lives, these kinds of articles that highlight relatively minor negative things about Go to go on to say "Go sucks" are pretty disappointing to read.
The strength of Go comes from the fact that the language is very easy to reason about because it was designed for the programmer to be able to have the entire language specification in their head. Rarely do I encounter something that I didn't know about Go and when I do, it complements other design decisions of Go so it does not come as a surprise.
Another strength is how easy it is to write concurrent code. No other language comes even remotely close to making it so easy to write concurrent code.
Go's standard library has amazing code and is very well documented. No other language has made it so easy for me to learn what is actually going on and how to get the job done as soon as humanly possible.
The tooling is incredible. I have not seen another language make it so easy to profile my programs' memory and CPU usage. (if you've not played around with pprof in Go, then I highly recommend you give it a try)
Yes, it sucks that Go doesn't have generics and maybe it will in the future. I am an avid fan of Haskell, so I am completely on board with generics. Having said that, as a day-to-day programmer, I've come to realize that I don't actually need generics as much as I would have thought. There are certainly situations where I feel "ugh, Go doesn't have generics", but it's pretty rare to be honest.
Go is very friendly toward beginners, but it is still a very capable language for expert programmers. At the end of the day, the thing that matters is how easily and quickly can you get your job done (while still writing readable and maintainable code) with the least amount of overhead and I think Go does a much better job than a lot of other languages out there. | null | 0 | 1545610237 | False | 0 | ecfbscx | t3_a8rptf | null | null | t3_a8rptf | /r/programming/comments/a8rptf/i_do_not_like_go/ecfbscx/ | 1547994696 | 15 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |
False | ashishduhh1 | t2_12m8lv | >I would argue that the AMA and ABA are effectively unions under a more respected name. Same with the exam-based meritocracies that actuaries have. It's professional structure that's outside the control of employers (and that employers often dislike for that reason).
Yeah no they aren't. Literally the only purpose of a union is to collectively bargain. If those entities don't engage in collective bargaining, then you can't use the term union to describe them. Nobody is bound by the AMA or ABA either. But you know what employers do like? Unions. That's why they enter into long term contracts with them, because they love their terms. Union members basically trade any upward mobility they might have had in exchange for long-term security. And the business trades a little cash flow in wages in exchange for a guaranteed source of (still relatively cheap) labor for a long time.
And exam-based meritocracies exist in most industries, what do you think a college degree is? The AMA and ABA exist primarily to ensure high standards of entry into the profession (i.e gatekeeping), and affect college curricula more than anything. Imagine we had a similar organization for computer science, what would that accomplish? It would probably keep Indians and half the current software engineers in America from working in the profession, thus increasing our wages. But it would also greatly increase the cost of entry into our profession, which is something I really like about it: that anyone can learn to do what we do with little capital requirements. It wouldn't magically get rid of scrum, just like tons of law firms and physicians practices are still poorly operated.
>Citation please. Sounds like bullshit. I'd be the last to say that these countries are utopian– the EU has its own problems– but there's no regulation that says companies can't pay programmers better.
That's like saying there's no law that says companies can't pay McDonald's cashiers $200/hr. But we all know what the laws of economics are, and regulations that alter those laws artificially always trickle down to the consumer (in this case the laborer). Nobody is stopping American VCs or Apple or Google (as shown in OP's video) from investing in Europe, and yet they don't because of the terrible business climate.

There are only two possible scenarios here:

How is that different from Sciter solution that uses same system of DOM bricks, that just styled accordingly?
And Sciter application will be more compact than Qt one. Distribution size of Sciter Notes is 2mb. Have you seen Qt based application of that size?
Yet, in the best case, Qt will use OpenGL for H/W acceleration so Acrylic is not an option for Qt applications. Consider this as requirement - the app should have modern look.

False | cdsmith | t2_1trov | Just in case anyone notices this and wants to know the facts...
There is absolutely no justification for the claim that this is the best way to teach kids to code. Nothing here is new. The idea of programming by connecting blocks representing instructions like moving and turning is very old. Lightbot does it well. If you are interested, try that instead. This spammer is just repackaging other people's ideas.
That said, though, you should be skeptical. There's no opportunity for generalization or decomposition here, and those are the important educational goals. This is just going through the motions... all flashy surface, and no depth. If you want more depth, you could try Scratch, or better yet, Snap.
You would also be wise, though, to question whether a block-based environment meets your needs. They are great for students' motivation and self-image, but there's very sketchy evidence of any transfer learning that survives the switch to more flexible languages. That's most likely, again, because even with better designed languages, too much of the skills gained are about surface concepts, like navigating the user interface and sequencing built-in instructions, and not about decomposition, abstraction/generalization, or modeling.
Finally, you should look at the curriculum. An iOS app is not a curriculum by itself. What are the learning goals? Has the experience been designed to support and assess these goals? You can benefit the answer here is just a shrug. You can do better. Google's CS First, Code.org, and Bootstrap (www.bootstrapworld.org) are all examples of curriculum designed to achieve successful learning, not to sell you someone's experiment on the App Store. | null | 0 | 1545612183 | False | 0 | ecfdzpe | t3_a8szrs | null | null | t3_a8szrs | /r/programming/comments/a8szrs/the_best_way_of_teaching_kids_to_code/ecfdzpe/ | 1547995708 | 1 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |

False | Inspector-Space_Time | t2_a8sxq | Russia monitored the broadcasts and confirmed they were coming from the moon. They confirmed it when they had every motivation to expose the conspiracy.
We haven't been back to the moon because of the lack of will. NASA's budget as a percentage of the federal budget was highest when we were going to the moon. But once we accomplished that and "beat the commies" political will, and therefore NASA's budget, waned. The reason we haven't gone back in all this time is simple, lack of budget and direction. Every new president comes in, rips up NASA's plans, and creates new ones. NASA chases that target until a new presidency does the same, gives them different goals, and pushes everything back. That coupled with a smaller budget, and more responsibilities in low earth orbit, means there's just not enough left to get to the moon.

I'm supposed to think making at least 100k less a year would be a beneficial trade-off for merely not having had to pay for college? That math does not work out.

My company offers maternity and paternity leave. Albeit less.
Many jobs in my town can be biked to.
If you're skilled and willing you can get most of what you're looking for here.
Except for the at will employment thing. Which i quite like. It means employees that are dregs don't drag down the rest of the team. Probably controversial to a Euro but firing low productivity employees can mean massive things for team productivity. It also has the side effect of meaning that employers aren't as hesitant to offer high salaries. If someone can't swim they're gone. In your case if your manager makes a bad hire you're fucked. These things exert downward pressure on wages as firms become hyper risk averse. | null | 0 | 1544419362 | False | 0 | ebhapnm | t3_a4n8jv | null | null | t1_ebgp1cm | /r/programming/comments/a4n8jv/why_software_developers_are_paid_5x_more_in_the/ebhapnm/ | 1547420204 | 16 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |
False | PM_ME_UR_OBSIDIAN | t2_lyb3e | >Rust is the "best language" that can solve all problems
As a Rust guy, I'm happy to bash it a little: I don't think it's fully production-ready for either web or desktop. Its platform support also falls **way** short of C or C++. The Rust-in-production herd is thinner than most mainstream programming languages', which is something worth pondering if you have commercial aspirations.
That being said, using a typed functional language can give you a significant advantage when it comes to hiring and retaining. In every somewhat techy city there should be a pool of very skilled people who have strong preferences for such languages. | null | 0 | 1545613713 | False | 0 | ecffqax | t3_a8rptf | null | null | t1_ecezvi1 | /r/programming/comments/a8rptf/i_do_not_like_go/ecffqax/ | 1547996536 | 9 | t5_2fwo | r/programming | public | null |
