The problem with the wider go community is they are usually not driven by evidence, but adherence to a philosophy. eg, its not possible to write large programs without generics.

I use it constantly. I like how the charging plug is at the front compared to the Revolution which requires you to cradle the mouse.

I use both the receiver and the Bluetooth support, and the three receiver function daily.

I love the shape of the mouse, truly the best mouse I've owned.

it feel a bit biased when you say that IRC could have a protocol bump, but you wouldn't make the same modifications to hide pictures in Mattermost.

Additionally not being able to share images as a feature? I guess everyone will do the three step upload to imgur first.

In my world - if I could get away with less different clients I would. It makes it a nightmare to support.

Depends on the quality of your SPICE models. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPICE)

When you model by hand you typically use ideal models. SPICE models can be vastly more complex. A good example is a diode which is harder to model as it's a non-linear device.

Simulated "electricity" (voltage and current) is reduced to a set of differential equations, which the program then uses to plot charts.

LG Prada?

Don't get me wrong - the iPhone was ground breaking. It's the hundred little details that made it special.

But would someone else have done it? Yes. Is this relevant? No

> But specifically on simplicity of implementation

I'd suggest a simple language requires a simpler implementation.

> It wasn't enough to just add features to existing programming languages, because sometimes you can get more in the long run by taking things away. They wanted to start from scratch and rethink everything. ... [But they did not want] to deviate too much from what developers already knew because they wanted to avoid alienating Go's target audience.[1]

Sometimes for simple problems a simple tool is the best fit.

> They're called tags, not annotations, per the spec (https://golang.org/ref/spec). I don't know what you're trying to say there, but it's using wrong terminology.

My mistake

> How is that possible? As you say on the next line, they don't need to conform to any format. How can my linter know that I don't have a package that parses "josn" tags, and that I typoed? Please link me to the lint rule if it exists.
