The GOPROXY API being either , or | makes me a tiny bit sad. Now, what was once simple, has given these characters new and not easily discernible semantic meaning. I really wish I had commented on this proposal but missed it until the feature was already in.
What would propose as an alternative? Even if it's too late for this particular thing, I'm curious anyway as there are similar problems that crop up here and there at $dayhob
RE: modules and vendoring, you should no longer have to worry about a package going away now that proxies have been introduced (the default proxy right now being proxy.golang.org).
You should be able to pull all your modules from a proxy, minus any private repos you control (which you can either setup our own proxy for OR set The GOPROXY var to go direct to vcs for it).
Also, not vendoring should give you a smaller repo and build speed shouldn’t suffer too much (proxy caching and such).
modules and vendoring is still a pain and I don't want or need a network resource to build my code. If a vendor directory is present, use it!
While things are better in Go 1.14, it is not solved. I do not want to set up a company proxy for our private repos. I can't count how many times some combination of GOPROXY, private repos, vendoring, and modules have been a problem.
So if I have a mix of private and public dependencies that I pull in, can I specify a specific proxy for the private ones? Is it the GOPRIVATE env var?
This should be clarified, if you setup YOUR OWN proxy it can handle both public and private modules (side note I haven’t been able to verify this yet with artifactory).
You can also just let your GOPROXY fallback go “direct” which will then go straight to vcs (you need to make sure you have a gitconfig setup to redirect https to ssh).
For those on the West Coast, well LA, we actually have access to incredible hot chicken in Howlin' Rays. The chicken definitely stays true to the Nashville original and they have the lines to prove it (peak is like 3 hours).
To give Howlin Ray's some credit, they did a pop-up night here in Nashville with 400 Degrees (one of the highest regarded places) and it was incredibly packed and successful. Next time I'm in LA, I will be at Howlin Rays!
i went to howlin rays a few times when it opened (the line was “only” 15-30 mins long then). it’s delicious but the line is way too long now to go regularly. i switched to dave’s for a while but that’s now got a long line too. luckily new options have popped up and maybe will tame those crazy lines at howlin rays eventually.
Maybe the future is in these over-glorified social media lifestyle companies acquiring or bailing out "worthy" startups working on "hard problems". Sort of like how ad-funded Google is investing in health longevity research and the like.
The future is going to be funded from the largesse of dumb app companies, because the public would rather fund dumb app companies than rocket ship firms.
That or because it's more profitable to do so, especially on a risk-adjusted basis? What's with the negativity around funding apps if they create tangible value? What makes them "dumb"?
If you believe there's some amazing untapped opportunity in funding rocket ship companies, then perhaps you should raise some money from LPs and invest in rocket ship companies.
I saw pretty easily how Instagram could be worth a billion to FB, who has a social network and wants to expand their user base / stop competition from rising.
I don't understand how these shares that pay no dividend and give no voting power are worth $24 each. They are basically "SnapChat Fun Bucks." Anyone buying it just hoping another person down the line will pay more for it. On top of that, we know there's a large number of people holding it (employees) that are going to start selling their shares over the next year.
To be fair, you didn't take into account the difference that $1B was worth between those times. Not just inflation, but the economic situation in 2008 as well.
It was written with Turbo Pascal in mind but many have read the text and transcribed the instructions to a language of their choosing. Should be at least a good introduction to compilers.
Honestly, the fact that I can only erase the whole board and not a small section is a deal breaker for me. As is the form factor.
Make them as big as a small whiteboard, add local erase features and they've got a winner.
While we're at that, they could manufacture boogie board whiteboard replacements. That would be a hit in all teaching institutions. Imagine: No more markers or chalk. One click erase.
I went through high school in the mid 00s, and just recently graduated from college. Every classroom I've been in for the past 10 years has had a "smart board", which is basically a giant whiteboard with touch recognition. They have "markers" you can pick up and write on the screen with, and an eraser that lets you erase what you've written. They were very successful, and incredibly useful- plus teachers could save the images they drew and then put them up for the class to access later.
Where I work now we have one as well- except instead of a projector it's just a big LCD touchscreen.
I have been WAITING for ride-sharing pickups to be available from LAX for what feels like ages. They've actually implemented a pretty sane system - ride sharing services have marked areas that they can pickup from but they can drop off anywhere. You request a car and the ask what marked area you are near, then they show up there, it doesn't get much easier.
Taxis still aren't focused on the customer in LA and I don't think they will ever be.
