In my social circles, becoming a parent is seen as a gigantic sacrifice. You lose sleep, time with friends, time for hobbies. You’ll probably have to move to a less desirable neighborhood to afford the extra space for your kid. If you’re the one carrying the child, you’re ‘destroying’ your body and jeopardizing your professional goals. But what if it didn’t have to be this way? An Indian friend recently told me how his parents couldn’t fathom why anyone wouldn’t want to have a child. In his pa

While previous looks at the movie had a more inspirational tone, the latest has the Man of Steel defending his heroic actions in an interview with Lois Lane. There’s clearly going to be some conflict here between what Superman is trying to do and how the world perceives him. Also, Lex Luthor is here, and is appropriately menacing.

Even though I am a C++ programmer at heart, Go fascinates me for none of the reasons you think. Go has made several interesting design decisions: It has virtually no Undefined Behavior. It has very simple GC semantics that they’re mostly stuck with due to design decisions in the surface language. These things mean that despite Go having a GC, it’s possible to do manual memory management in pure Go and in cooperation with the GC (although without any help from the runtime package).
