How does GoLang know how many CPUs to use?
When running lscpu command on Linux, it will list the CPU info on the machine. Take one example where there is one CPU with 2 cores and each core has two threads which indicates there are 4 cores available. Now let's see how many cores GoLang program would identify. From output, NumCPU and GOMAXPROCS both output 4 which is expected. How does go runtime get this info, does it get it through similar command like lscpu or /proc/cpuinfo? Let's dig more in GoLang's source code. In runtim...
PHP to Objective C, where the f**k are parameters?
Javascript, PHP, Ruby functionsI assume you are very familiar with declaring functions in any of the languages above, if not, you should not be reading this. Let’s begin with a simple function to send email in these languages:// PHP or Javascript do_send_email (recipient, cc, subject, body); // Ruby do_send_email (recipient, cc, subject, body)So it’s clear by looking at the function’s signature that it takes 4 parameters and they could be optional, depends on your imple...

A Better Way to Learn How to Program
Learning how to program can be a nightmare. An aspiring coder has to jump through many unpleasant hoops and mysterious error messages just to get "Hello, World!" printed on the screen. Then, she's left wondering, "OK, now what? How do I actually build something?"As game developers seeing someone struggle through this, we should be screaming, “NOOOOO!†The whole thing reeks of bad game design: a lot of work with no reward, unclear failure cases, advanced features pushed on new players...

In praise of impractical programming
Although it’s become a cultural mainstay now, I still remember when I first saw that thick book — the one with the wizard on the cover — about a school for magic where wonders are easily conjured by those who know the proper spells. Of course, I’m talking about the Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs. There was that other book with the spells, but the “Wizard Book†sincerely claimed to teach magic. For the past few years, I’ve been ...

Python Disrupts the Programming Language World- Gets Hot and Popular
Python is one of the fastest growing languages currently. It is undeniable that more and more programmers use Python and deploy it to the best of their use. Everyone, from the freelancer and startups to giant corporations and even governments, is using Python. Let us have a look at the reasons that make it so popular. Training: According to research, 8 out of 10 tech schools in the US teach Python over JAVA. Even the three major MOOC platforms, edX, Coursera, and Udacity have a similar app...

What programming languages should I learn?
Since I started this blog, I have gotten quite a few emails asking me “What programming languages do you recommend for X?†I often finding myself writing something along the lines ofI would honestly recommend python. Something about me being biased because I know and love it. Usually say something about the competing technology with a back handed insult. Also if they are starting out I would recommend a language that enforces better OO (Object Orientated) practic...

C vs Java Complete Comparison
Similarities: Java and C have same syntax operators. Difference—thinking Two paradigms: Java: Object oriented language C: Structured language Differences: --Syntax No preprocessor Java does not include a preprocessor and does not define any analogs of the #define, #include, and #ifdef directives. Constant definitions are replaced with static final fields in Java. (See the java.lang.Math.PI field for an example.) Macro definitions are not available in...

Programming language choices for an IT manager
A TechRepublic reader named Aaron emailed me and posed excellent questions; here’s an excerpt from his email:“I manage a small IT department and all my skills are self-taught. At times I struggle with complex business initiatives and I believe if I had some programming skills I would be more adept at handling the initiatives. Can you recommend a programming language? Is formal education the best path or have you found that programming can be self-taught?â€I’m sure a lot ...
