If you're main problem with a new language is that it's not written like the language you are used to, you're not going to be happy with the new language.

Re:Why Discord is switching from Go to Rust on Tuesday February 04, 2020 @03:49PM (#22240801)
The article also mentions the service was on go 1.9.2, which was released 10/2017. I'd be curious to see if the same issues exist on a build based on a more recent version of Go.
Re:Over 100 PBS local stations start streaming on YouTube TV on Wednesday December 18, 2019 @12:30AM (#21822109)
Samsung has TV Plus which is included with all Samsung smart TVs and includes some Pluto channels as well as other channels, which just scheduled internet video content. Something I just discovered recently. I like it because I want some background noise, and don't want to spend 10 minutes deciding on what content to watch.

"cloud" != "public"

If you save it in your Google Drive, you can control who has access. Even better if it's your organization's GSuite

Re:Questions to Ask When Negotiating Salary on Friday March 22, 2019 @01:59PM (#19465114)
When you show your employer an offer you received from another employer, aren't basically saying "Pay me more" and asking for a raise? I can't imagine going to your manager and saying, "Look, these guys want to pay me more. haha. OK, back to work."

Re:Giving Up on the Current MacBook Pro Keyboard on Wednesday April 25, 2018 @11:50PM (#16928650)
I've had two repairs on my MacBook Pro done in an Apple store within the last year. They had to order the part, i dropped it off when it came in, and usually got it back within a day or two.
> researchers then looked at 736 online reviews left by parents and kids (ages 8 to 19) of 37 parental control apps available on Google Play

Wait, so their source of data is Google Play reviews?!

The title of the article makes it seem that there is a one-to-one correlation between the app and the impact on the relationship, but the author herself says "The takeaway here is that parents should not treat parental control apps as a magic bullet to keep their teens safe online". So, this is really about parents who use these apps as the sole parenting device without doing any parenting and interacting with their child themselves. I mean, if you don't try to have a relationship with your kid, you're not going to have a good relationship with your kid.
