Git is one of those tools that I’ve always known just enough about to be dangerous, and usually tend to learn new skills when I’m in a position to truly need them. Shockingly enough it has taken me roughly 15 years of using git for me to encounter the need to push to a remote […] The post How to Push to a Git Remote Branch of a Different Name appeared first on David Walsh Blog.

Batching is a common scenario developers come across to basically split a large amount of work into smaller chunks for optimal processing. Seems pretty simple, and it really is. Say we have a long list of items we want to process in some way. A pre-defined number of them can be processed concurrently. I can see two different ways to do it in Go. The first way is by using plain old slices. This is something most developers have probably done at some point in their careers. Let's take this simple example:

This blog runs on Sculpin, a static site generator. The generator itself runs on Symfony, which for me makes it easy to extend. However, I find that if you want something special, it can usually be done, but it may take several hours to get it right. In the end though, the solution is often quite el...

Consumers typically have their own experiences when it comes to web hosting and their own opinions. If you search Google for reviews for any web hosting provider you'll find dozens of results. Usually, there are a lot more negative reviews than there are positive ones.

In response to a comment he saw on Twitter about comments in code, Matthias Noback has written up a post with some of his own thoughts. Recently I read a comment on Twitter by Nikola Posa. [...] He was providing us with a useful suggestion, one that I myself have been following ever since reading "Clean Code" by Robert Martin. The paraphrased suggestion in that book, as well as in the tweet, is to consider a comment to be a naming issue in disguise, and to solve that issue, instead of keeping the comment. By the way, the book has some very nice examples of how comments should and should not be used. Matthias starts with the suggestion that, when correctly written, code shouldn't need comments to be clear about what's happening. He encourages the use of the "refactor for clarity" method to remove comments and make the code more clear. He finishes the post by breaking down the types of comments (explanatory, todo and "wtf"), what they are/examples and in what situations they can be useful for.
