There was a time I had to re-draw the scanned city plans in AutoCad (possibly in R13/14), on a Pentium 3 machine as an high-school student.

Having such tool at that time would have saved myself not only from wasting months, but would also have saved from having carpal tunnels at very young age.

I wonder how big or small that $10K compared to the game's monthly income. Guess I'd be OK to share the 70% of that with the modder if it'd be up to me (no wonder why I don't get rich huh?).

* 70% was the amount of loading time the modder helped to cut.

I just had a chance to do a bit research and read about the facts and I believe you're right.

It seems even a small pet, like a hamster, could produce more CO2 than a home full of trees/plants during the night.

I may have missed but it seems nothing discussed for the amount o plants in the comments.

Is having that many plants around your bed safe? Can they release enough CO2 to effect your sleep quality or is it a myth I remember from my childhood?

Thanks. They look amazing.

I agree. Though even if a fraction of the trees survive in a place of harsh conditions, further generations of the same seed can carry the same strength and spread.

That’s something I witnessed myself from my village years.

Some already pointed out, I am also curious about sustainability and how many trees will survive in future BUT I am incredibly amazed of the number of trees planted in just 12 hours. I might be naive in this thinking but it gives me hope about what we can achieve once we have to.

Each of the ~5000 stored procedures I had to strip out from a client’s large MySQL cluster agrees with this statement.

Real life effect of this is that now people will know how to draw more fuel-efficient routes for ships, tankers etc, so they will consume less fuel which can lead to cheaper logistics, less CO2 release and less negative impact on the environment.

So I think it’s OK to call this groundbreaking :)

I watched Ultimate Go on Safari Books a while ago and recently got back to it to revise my knowledge.

It will fill all the gaps and answer all the questions one can have, especially after the Tour of Go or reading a book which only scratches the surface.

I can't express enough how amazing that course and how useful what Hoanh did.

Once you finish, I'd also suggest to take a look to the Ardan Lab's github account since there are tons of material for Go.

Bill's presentation also made me giggle a lot -which is a rare thing for tutorials- since he says things like

  If I see an interface and it doesn't smell right, 
  and I'll be asking the developer, why are you 
  using an interface here? Now if the developer 
  gives me any one of these two answers, we're 
  gonna go take a walk.
as if this is a movie and he's going to take the developer to the woods to execute because the developer done wrong Bill :)

Looks nice.

This could be quite useful to demonstrate/teach/explain simple stuff to people but I am not so sure if I would like to expose anything else from my console in this way.

Or you’ll create space for younger, more honest, science-driven generation?

One of the idioms of Golang is not being clever but being verbose and clear.

Looks like your senior dev has completely missed that.
