"If you’re using JSON and your JSON is a mix of types, goooooood luck. You’ll have to create a custom struct that matches the format of your JSON blob, and then Unmarshall the raw json into an instance of your custom struct. Much more work than just obj = json.loads(json_blob) like we’re used to in Python land."
Could just load it into a map[string]interface{} and then just make sure he does type assertion on the value before using it.
"..about the goods of laissez-faire capitalistic systems" Im pretty certain any government agency wanting to self preserve would NOT want laissez-faire.
A couple of things after having played around with it on my iphone 5 for a while.
1. It "feels" slower, might be because it's not 100% optimized yet, but what I suspect is causing this feeling is the new animiations. Everything just feels sluggish, kind of like using an android feels to me.
2. It appears harder to locate things in apps.
3. The paralax animiations arent all that obvious and doesnt add as much depth as I initially thought it would.
4. Some of the app redesigns are really nice (address book for instance).
5. The thin font is really hard to see sometimes.
6. The new design of the notification view is really nice.
Imagine a distributed system where you want to preserve uniqueness across the board. Using a uuid more or less (by the sheer number of possibilities) guarantees that this will be the case.
For people that want this outside of Sublime you can get TaskPaper, same thing (I guess this plugin was based on taskpaper). Available at the apstore. I use it daily as my todo manager.
Great stuff, always hard to find good people and Im sure this will bring in lots of nice applicants. And a little trip to Brazil would indeed be nice. Good luck!
