You forgot an important part: "If an employee is not available then please feel free to wash your own hands."
I put up a sign saying that at my favorite local taproom. It is quite popular.

A major difference between Go 1 and Go 2 is who is going to influence the design and how decisions are made. Go 1 was a small team effort with modest outside influence; Go 2 will be much more community-driven. We also would have accepted "Go-go"

they implemented goto ?

I love the childlike naivety that by trying to engage the community they can do breaking changes without splitting the developerbase.
I hope they can avoid anything on the scale of the Python 2->3 debacle and get >90% of new development onto v2 within a year or two; but companies that aren't filthy rich techbrotard nerdfests generally have better things to do than rewriting working software just for the sake of doing a rewrite; so any major changes are going to result in apps running on the legacy stack for a number of years.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Microsoft is modernizing its Office icons as part of a broader focus on design for its various Office apps. Finally they're fixing my #1 problem with Office

Unbelievable. Really unbelievable that they can be proud of, and waste so much time on, such garbage.
The words "bunch", "pricks". "oF", and "useless" come to mind, but not in that order.

The "League of Useless Pricks" takes offense.
Scary part; there's another bunch doing the same thing to Visual Studio. They boasted about their new "lighter blue" design last week or the week before. It's almost as though Microsoft is being run by people who don't actually use their products.

Design is not the issue with the Office apps. Personally, I find Word to be unusable. I despise how it forces you into doing things its way because I can't stand its way. Every time I use it I am reminded why many people who deal with massive documents do not use Word. When my wife worked in a law office she told me Word was nowhere to be found there.

I still have a WordPerfect keyboard stencil somewhere with all those lovely hot-key combos. Right next to the hardcover copy of the manual for AutoCad r10 or so.

If there’s one archaeological find that would turn the world on its head it would be the discovery of the lost city of Atlantis. Many have looked for the remains of the mythical locale, but nobody has come close to actually finding it, and researchers claiming to have found it in the past have all ultimately been proven wrong. I'm sure they just need a 'small investment' to confirm their findings

From the article: the location was chosen based on Plato’s writings as well as other text
"Other texts"?
AIRI, the only texts that actually mention Atlantis are Greek -- y'know, the Greeks who had bugger all to do with Spain until thousands of years after Atlantis disappeared.
And concrete? Concrete was invented by the Romans, who had a ready and plentiful source of the chemicals required for it. Concrete older than the Roman empire doesn't exist.
In point of fact, if it weren't for much, much older texts (like the Frisian Linda-something) which describe weather conditions consistent with a really bleeding huge volcanic incident, I'd be tempted to disregard the whole Atlantis thing -- but on the far side of Spain?
How much is the Spanish tourist board paying him?

A survey of Rust users finds difficulty and frustration with the language’s highly touted features for memory safety and correctness Maybe they just need some WD-40 between the ears?
or sleep?
|
|
|
|

In other industry news, the problems certain users have with Rust have been addresses with a workaround.
A spokesman said that the workaround involved "studying the bloody language before making a pissing mess with it".
Bloody kiddies. If they can't code during their breaks between tweets, they blame the language.

“Rust’s big claim to fame is a mix of speed and memory safety. Rust code compiles to machine-native instructions, and the syntax and idioms around memory management—lifetimes and borrowing—make it difficult for memory-unsafe code to compile at all. But users still have trouble understanding those metaphors.”
Pony is similar in this area, possibly even more difficult. But with Pony it’s data race-unsafe code that won’t compile.
But, as they say, you don't get something for nothing.
