Going to try to pick up Elm again, for the purpose of writing a game. Tried last year, let’s see if it goes better this time…

Cool that you went and did this! I built @technomancy’s atreus a while back, but don’t actually use it. I should, though…
-

-
The reason I don’t use it is simply because I don’t want to become dependent on it. @technomancy travels everywhere with his, and sets it up on top of his laptop keyboard. I could try that, I suppose, but it seems like a habit that’d be very hard to get into. Above all, I don’t have pain from regular laptop keyboards, so the increased ergonomics haven’t pushed me into it by necessity.
But, now that I’m saying this, I really should give it more of a chance, and try it again… There’s no reason not to, for sure.

Going to try to write a better AI for QuickGo as GNU Go can’t seem to be configured to play capture-go. Open to suggestions/tips from anyone with experience in this area!

Been using http://www.duplicati.com/ on Linux with encrypted cloud sync to gdrive. So far so good (~4GB compressed data)

Long time no post… Just finished writing instructions for using Travis-CI with Monkey Test It. This week I’m going to try to add screenshot support to the report view.

@Work: Getting into docker & coaching the team on how to use it for service management for an upcoming project. @Home: Continuing work on my first Ionic project - impromptu. Got it up and running reasonably well on Android. Now trying to sort out the iOS packaging issue, as I’m a Linux user without any easily accessible Mac. Currently looking into MacInCloud and similar.

Brad Fitzpatrick on the future of the Go programming language (1.4, 1.5, & 2.0)
And still, no mention of generics coming to the language at some point.

I have to confess that I also don’t understand the obsession with Go and generics. If you want a language with generics and a good concurrency story, you can look at Rust or Nimrod. Different languages make different trade-offs on the simplicity/power dynamic; part of Go’s general appeal is that it’s exceedingly simple, and part of Rust’s and Nimrod’s appeal is that they opted for more power.

“This remains an open issue.”

Do not take this defensively now, but I have heard this lots of times and it has also been mentioned in several Go meetings. I respectfully disagree. It is a non-argument that always gets brought up as the usual Pike defense.
I do not believe that it is his will to actually resolve this issue within a reasonable amount of time, if at all. I begin to think that In his view, true parametric polymorphism is not something Go should be going after, given that structural sub-typing can serve its goals. We can discuss about the fallacy of this for centuries to no avail. Yes, parametric polymorphism may be more difficult to reason with, but it is also more powerful, expression-wise.
Also, the question is not about choosing another language like Rust, Nimrod, D - the question is whether it makes sense for a seriously competitive language in 2014 to not possess such a feature and have it thrust upon the language at some indeterminate point. Saying that it is an open issue does not mean anything about it being actually on the roadmap, at all.
As for contributions being welcome, I do not believe that any contribution without Pike explicitly backing it a priori would have any luck; it will have to come from somebody from the immediate Go design niche given that the criteria of “not liking it and not making sense” can be kind of arbitrary for the eventually interested outsider. Not exactly advisable to contribute under such a constraint, at least for some of us.

Here’s my list from my saved folder - mostly code, a little game design, and I’ve edited out the career/entrepreneurship stuff:
ಠ_ಠ
(kidding!)
Hey, hey, how’d that jackass sneak in there?
(This list got a quick
:%s/\.[^\.]*//and skim for business talks, I didn’t notice. Hope they’re not too out-of-place.)Man, you were ready for this thread!
Yep. It came up in elsewhere about a month ago, so I’d already cleaned up
lsinto a markdown list.I’d love to take a peek at that career/entrepreneurship stuff if you’d be willing to share :-)
