Unfortunately, Go's compiler is not as fast as it could be; most of the optimizations presented here were already made by compilers in the 80s. The fact that modern compilers are a really complex piece of software that took dozens of y

Isn't it about time? I mean, they don't really have to make a brand new language to add generics.

Isn't it normal to expect old languages to evolve too, especially when they are pushed forward by companies as huge as Apple? Look at C++ (the same age as Objective-C): C++11 was approved in 2011.

Yeah, I don't get the point of this; that's how it's done in Go. You might want to search "catch (Exception e)" for other languages.

It's pretty bad though. Remember Heartbleed when people couldn't revoke their compromised certificates? Also, if you read the Namecheap promotion page, they explain that they are donating $0.5 to Fight for the Future for every pur

I have a Lumia 920. Say what you want about Windows Phone, but its UI is among the best I've ever seen. Also the build quality makes the phone very resistant (I don't really take care of my phone). The only issues I had with it ar

This kind of design is nice and all, but a site like Wikipedia wouldn't throw everything they have like that: they want before all to keep their interface available for everyone, even if that means it has to look a little rustic. One

I'm currently programming in Go, and Google provides very strict constrains for its syntax (e.g. no braces on a new line, etc.). To take this a step further, my editors automatically runs the go fmt tool on saved files, which formats t

Fascinating! Another sorting visualization that I like is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPRA0W1kECg . It is well-known but the way everything falls back into place at each time... that's very satisfying.

They were probably aware of the issue, as this kind of bug has been already published for Google [1] (by the same author, it seems) a month ago. Also, Google did not give him a bounty reward for his discovery. [1] https://news.yc

Especially, Facebook is not supposed to intelligently crawl websites but to just proxy images. That's an easy one.

That's how you test a service: just put it on HN. If the traffic does not take it down, it's the hackers around here.

Python has benefited from years of throughout optimization of the language for real-world use. Go is still under heavy development and is not as optimized as other languages that have devs focused on optimization (that explains why node.js

Python executes , it does not compiles. EDIT: Whoops, it's actually compiled into bytecode then executed by the VM.

Fun concept! Here is what I see as possibilities to own the website, with gradual power: make a client using a single socket that refreshes every 1/3 second [1] ; add multithreading and have 133 [2] sockets open at the same time to mak

Flynn is very interesting! I've been following its development since the project was made public and the team behind it made great progress during the last months.

"the best ever". This kind of expression is getting on my nerves, as it is used as a catchphrase for an obvious expectation about the product: "great news, no regression about it". Apple uses it too ("the best iPhon

Go is still a very young language and will probably subject to a lot of changes, especially for optimization. No big industry builds apps using Go, in the same way that no big industry build app using Laravel. They prefer for instance CodeI

Go is great! It's also a good choice for concurrency operations thanks to goroutines, which are not really threads nor other processes (this is what node.js does in the cluster module, it fires a new process every time you fork the mai

Meh, the current design is good. HN has for one of its objectives to maintain content quality by obscurity. Lets not have a fancy design to attract people.

Very neat idea! I totally see myself watching a few ads to reward content creators if I liked their work, instead of having ads everywhere on the page to catch my attention.

Good politics: they had custom code for parts of OpenSSL, they published it when it seemed needed, open-source community told them what was wrong, they fixed it and apologized. No bullshit.

I love how developers of this app allow themselves to collect numerous data about their users' phones, so much they even track their hardware, model numbers and available APIs. But the worst thing is probably that this has became so co

The app, which was pretty basic and lacked of functionalities such as infinite drawing space, easily movable objects, easy save... has been updated recently. It probably deserves a HN post again, since it turned into a lot more usable tool.
