Where does Google's snappy language shine, and where does it fall short? Here are the kinds of applications it's best -- and less -- suited for. You can't spell 'good' without 'Go'
After deleting, "Absolutely nothing. Say it again." about 15 times. Thank you so much, Edwin Starr

I've been wondering that for a while and the article did nothing to motivate me to learn Go.
Go away.

Altered Python. Well, we know Python is good for nothing. So they built a language on top of that base to get less than nothing, and that's really saying something.

"Absolutely nothing. Say it again."
Good God.
Personally, I prefer the original version by The Temptations.
The Wiki entry for the song sum its up...
"After Motown began receiving repeated requests to release "War" as a single, Whitfield re-recorded the song with Edwin Starr as the vocalist, with the label deciding to withhold the Temptations' version from single release so as not to alienate their more conservative fans."
I guess I don't count as conservative, even musically (especially musically).

I dunno - I've got to go with the DOA version[^] (overacted, but heartfelt  ).
Interesting story about the history of the song. Thank you.

That's not the "version by The Temptations", or is it?

Sorry, I misunderstood, her you go (although I'm not sure the encoding does it justice) YouTube[^].
It could also be that I prefer it in the context of the album (Psychedelic Shack), which also introduced the damn fine tune Ball of Confusion[^]

Makes me want to design a new language and call it "War".

I believe that was the working title of VB.
(In all fairness, I remember using VB 1.0 when it came out and was blown away, but times move on).

I remember too. I remember dragging that button on the form and displaying that first message. Wow.
I believe VB 1.0 came on 3 3.5" disks.
It was quite powerful.

Dev candidates: if you’ve done any reading at all, you know that most of your interviews will involve writing some code on a whiteboard. A word of advice: writing code on whiteboards is hard. Practice! It's true! I can never get the Intellisense working

How about a vision system watching the board combines with a projector and use this for intellisense?
Screw it just put up a huge touchsurface instead of whiteboards. XD

You got all wrong...
This is not an exploit, but a poor way of obfuscating your JavaScript code...
If you read the original material (http://conference.hitb.org/hitbsecconf2015ams/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/D1T1-Saumil-Shah-Stegosploit-Hacking-with-Pictures.pdf), you will understand that the problem is not by looking at the image, but that the very same image used as the source of a script tag!!!
So actually "I don’t need to host a blog, I don’t need to host a website at all. I don’t even need to register a domain" is a false statement (and I'm tempted to say that is for creating fear just for self promotion) as you DO need a full html page with a script and an image tag that point to the very same image...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

A couple of weeks after rumors first hit the Internet that Microsoft might be in talks to acquire the popular "to-do" app Wunderlist, a new report claims that the acquisition is a done deal. Scratch that off their to-do list

That episode of The Simpsons where Bill Gates buys out Homer's internet company because he can't figure out what it actually does but can't afford to compete with it... not satire then?

Microsoft has included a new feature in the latest build of Windows 10 and while it may not seem like a big deal right now, it paves the way for an improved user experience going forward. That feature is the ability to open multiple instances of a Modern app. Great. Multiple copies of apps I'm not interested in running. Progress!

In other words, multiple instances of Office apps, because most "Modern" apps don't stop you from opening up multiple instances except Office apps, where the new document is added to the existing app, making it impossible to view documents side by side.
