It's interesting to see how the main philosophy behind Apple products is to prevent this kind of tinkering and that they are also used by a lot of hackers (tinkerers).

I know the answer is "they just work" but it somewhat troubles me. I'm also a pragmatic but then I think about cases like the Bitkeeper debacle and Linus Torvalds vs Richard Stallman positions then. And who was right in the end and how this concluded with the birth of Git.

Ok, it's exactly not the same scenario (HW vs a SW product) but maybe someday we will see a similar conclusion...

Implying Hackernews us not a bubble... Ok

I have used it since 2 years ago or so to implement JSON REST APIs and some small admin pages for app backends. I compare with Python which I have also used for this.

Cons:

- More verbose than Python (returning errors and static typing make it not as succint as Python)

Pros:

- Static typing without being too ceremonius (compared to Python it's nice to have some errors catch by the type compiler that would popup in runtime. Refactoring also is nicer with a static typing safenet).

- Easy deployment (rsync the binary to the server and of you go, no more Pip and dynamic libraries bullshit)

- Low memory usage (nice to have the production backend running and see that it uses 15MB of mem where in Python it would be like 10 times more and with worse concurrence)

- Performance (somewhat minor plus for me because the bottleneck is almost always on the database)

The same as before BUT without the weight that UK had in the decisions of the EU (and that nice veto power it had).

Android I don't think so... There are tons of Java code in the Android ecosystem and their developers hate anything that comes from Apple.

So it will end as iOS only.

Sincerely, what you say sounds great from a bussiness perspective but maybe not from a lifestyle perspective (putting myself in Tarn & Zach's shoes).

Maybe something like that would be the kind of thing that would transform a work of passion into a boring bussiness full of obligations (to users, press, investors, Steam and whatnot). Worse even, after reading interviews with the Adams brothers I guess following a road like that maybe would even burn them after some years and end game development.

It's the difference of doing something for the money that can be extracted from it in contrast with doing something for passion and the joy of doing it. In some cases (or maybe for some personalities) these overlap, but in other cases they don't and it's ok, every person is different.

For rich people at least...

The Motorola X Style/Pure does this.

The curious thing is that he chairs the IETF HTTP Working Group and is a member of the W3C TAG.

Seeing this and how that blog loads make me afraid of the future of the web.

An clicking that link takes you to a talk about MongoDB & MEAN stack... the irony is strong in this one.

I too had a production deploy using Docker and but droped it because of changes like this and some instability.

Started using Ansible (ok, maybe comparing oranges to apples here) and its better for my use case.

So use a TURN server.

TL;DR: Does the same as STUN but also is able to relay video & audio for hosts where STUN fails.

I'm using it in a Android app of mine for video conference and works really good. You can download something like coturn and drop it in a 5$ digitalocean and run with it.

It works for me.

The only way that it affects you it's because Go programs can be compiled to a static binary. So from the final user perspective you just download it and put the executable in your path.

Contrast with Python, Node, Ruby... apps where you have to install via Pip, NPM, Gems.

But the real answer it's that Go is in the top of the hype curve right now (I say this as a Go fan myself).

Putting a single word inside double quotes makes it mandatory .

At least that's what I heard somewhere back then when they broke the + operator.
