@jmoiron @calebspare on the plus side if you use a mac this short cut won't be available much longer
jmoiron plays the blues
@jmoiron Using a butterfly keyboard is the typing equivalent of thinking you've got one more stair when you haven't
@jmoiron @darron usually at least _some_ are right though; oh yeah, and butterfly keys :(
@jmoiron Every rumored change to the macbook/pro line makes them worse: touchscreen instead of fn buttons, no magsafe, no sd slot
@jmoiron abstraction is like optimisation, it's always premature, and by the time it isn't, everyone knows
@jmoiron @rakyll getting diagnosed with a serious AI condition 2 years ago was a big blow, but the 7 years of not knowing was worse.. best of luck
@jmoiron @francesc IIRC you get two choices, good beer or free beer
@jmoiron @bryanl I stand by my original answer then :D
@jmoiron @bryanl whoops, my brain converted that to "value receiver" but now I realize I read it wrong and don't know :)
@jmoiron @bryanl yes, mostly for bad reasons (eg. avoid heap, gaps in escape analysis) + occasionally a way to get a kind of immutability
@jmoiron @rob_pike looking at it from pass-ref-by-value style (py,ruby,etc) perspective, having to add "*" to get the "right" behaviour may feel odd
@jmoiron I've never thought about it from this angle, but `foo.Stuff()` operating on a copy of `foo` is definitely not intuitive. https://t.co/W2HwUjkhHV
@jmoiron RT @chimeracoder: We wrote an article about the project I spend my days working on! https://t.co/k0liN8FvzU @stripe #golang
@jmoiron @PreetamJinka an EBS outage caused me 16h of downtime once
@jmoiron @amontalenti if you don't know how it's operated, how can you know how to write it?
@jmoiron RT @tkr2000: だれか、たすけて、 https://t.co/McQ7SFfnWI
@jmoiron @xaprb we badly need a standard set of classifications for writes; linear or randomized? replicated? how big? a "write" is anything
@jmoiron Wow this post debate wrap is literally being done by something called "The Circus"
@jmoiron @xaprb first I've heard of that, OED claims it's 500 years old.. wouldn't shock, i've found the origin of "hysterical" is not widely known
@jmoiron @chimeracoder also why the heart is a bad replacement for the star.
@jmoiron @PreetamJinka @davecheney @xaprb sure, but which do you think is more often undercooked? it's the same as my problem with DRY
@jmoiron @davecheney @xaprb I suspect people who log the world are underutilizing metrics which are much better for aggregate behaviour vis
