Well written article. Also points are valid. What I disagree with is that author overestimates dangers that those ugly aspects pose. There are linters and unit tests to catch those things before they reach production. I can’t quickly recall when the last time failure to initialize a structure field was a source of bug that was pushed to master (in fact, I love to use zero values as intended). Most bugs I remember are the logical ones, which no compiller can prevent. But then, I am senior developer, so maybe I can’t understand the struggles of juniors.

It may well be that Go is not adequate for production services unless your shop is literally made up of Go experts (Tailscale) or you have infinite money to spend on engineering costs (Google).

Reality says otherwise. I worked for a few large companies that chose Go as their main code base language. I can also see wide adoption of Go as backend language. It not only did not increase development or maintenance costs of those products, but reduced them. From the perspective of developer, who used C++ before Go.

I use Ctrl+Shift+Arrow Up/Down for multiple cursors. Maybe because I’m already long time Linux user and use MMB to paste selected text.

Hiding the complexity behind nice interfaces makes it actually more difficult to understand programming.

This is a very important point, that most of my colleagues with OOP background seem to miss. They build a bunch of abstractions and then say it’s easy, because we have one liner in calling code, pretending that the rest of the code doesn’t exist. Oh yes, it certainly exists! And needs to be maintained, too.

In Go, the recommended convention for variable name length is to be proportional to their scope. It is common to use one or few letters long variables if they are local to a few lines loop or a short function.

In Go you can compare structure instances with == (by value). You can also compare pointers (in which case they can be different even if values are equal). You get what you ask for.

Also, I’ve never needed “Equals” method in Go.

Usually I load machine gun turrets manually. And use them mainly to clear nests early in the game. Later, when I get my hands on oil, I build perimeter with walls, flame and laser turrets. Connect pipes with oil and connect electricity. That do the trick.

That is convenient. This way you can explain anything you like. I think, Sam Harris said “it’s like playing table tennis without a net”.

That is logical. Practically, though, this is used for justification of selected events. If a person confronts with something he doesn’t like, e. g. bugs in his home, he will actively try to change it.

If I recall correctly, Starcraft 2 has a pause in online match. Other players get pause screen and can unpause the game. It all comes down to both(all) players agree on pause, and can be useful if correctly implemented.

No. But for some reason I got confused this time.

I’m surprised you’re downvoted like this, but I had a similar thought. I understand the meme, that it is about the feeling when you finished a game with a story that made you involved. But calling it a “lifechanger” feels like exaggeration.

I have played a game that touched me deeply, leaving me emotionally out of my socket for about a week. But I wouldn’t say it “changed my life”. I can feel the echo of that experience when I remember, but that’s all.

Antiyoy is a clone of the 2000s game “Slay”, which is on Steam with updated graphics, to my surprise.

Brussels Cabbagius.

Recently I was asking Copilot a question (in english). As conversation moved to a topic where to get a certain item, it started giving suggestions in my native language and where to find it in my city (the information I wasn’t giving it). I understand that IP address is enough to make this decision, but the question is what else the AI knows about you.

Tin Woodman from the Wizard of Oz, but why he’s golden?

You might enjoy Martha is Dead game on Steam. That is my personally favourite game, which really stirred emotions. My wife tried to play it and got physically sick. Check it out.

Thanks! It had to be done.

After quite a break from HD2 I’ve returned to try a game vs Illuminati. I’ve always played private lobby, but this time settings were reset and I forgot to check this specific one. Ended up in a game with random people which wasn’t my plan.

Holy amount of ads on that page. More than actual content. Yeah, I was lazy to install adblocker on my phone browser. Until this moment.
