Meh. A bit of a weak article IMO. It just seems to be a bit biased against this "strange new technology". The main (and interesting) point is that heavy media coverage of flu caused people who weren't ill to search for it, which Google's al

Well that's misleading. You might as well have precomputed it and claimed you can retrieve it in O(1).

Google are paying Apple. If Google said "no", and Apple cared, Apple could still make Google the default. Then Google would look pretty silly for previously paying them.

I think† the key point many people miss is this: " These are just a few examples... " It's endemic. Everywhere. Each example on its own is a unwelcome irritant, but the repetition and seemingly universal acceptance makes the problem so much

It tests how well the compiler deals with function calls, and that's it. Useless for measuring a language's overall speed (as are all micro-benchmarks).

I haven't seen one, but I'd think it's pretty hard to think you've fully charged it when you haven't.

Very interesting, thank you. I especially like the replies from the Google analytics team, 8 months apart, that both acknowledge the issue and say they'll fix it...

I thought looking at the 99th (or other) percentile was pretty standard practice?

I don't understand. Where do your examples say they're pointers? How would you express this using your first syntax? *[4]*FooType

That's ok. Nothing wrong with disagreeing. But it sounds like you don't like Go. As you say, it's heavily influenced by Rob's personal vision of how things should be done. Plan 9, unicode, refusal to complicate the parser etc. They're all d

I don't think there would be a simpler way of describing a type as complex as "a pointer to a slice of pointers to FooType". Simpler variables are declared as var a int or with type inference: var a = 10

He was joking. But still, it's his personal taste to not use it.

go through all your code and capitalize every use of it Due to the ease of parsing go, it comes with a tool called gofix, designed for exactly this kind of change. http://golang.org/cmd/fix/

Well, you could have made the greatest plugin, web application or library in the world but the moment you slap Twitter Bootstrap on your site for it, all initial value is lost and people just see a “cookie cutter website”. I disagree. Boo

int res = (*fn[(n < 2)])(n); As stated by others, "n < 2" is a conditional or comparison or whatever (let's just say it's cheating :P) let's call it "m". So we choose our function pointer with: int res = (*fn[m])(n);

2^32 pings in 10 hours is ~120kHz. So I imagine that the complaining companies were the ones assigned /8 blocks (IBM, Apple, Ford etc.). They probably noticed the 500 pings/second aimed at their address space.

According to Keith’s calculations, if operations were begun in 2020, it would take 25,000 metric tons of sulfuric acid to cut global warming in half after one year. Once under way, the injection of sulfuric acid would proceed continuously.

Well, I'm glad to hear you don't have any substantial complaints about the language. What exactly are you searching for? Perhaps I can help you... http://lmgtfy.com/?q=site%3Anews.ycombinator.com+go Did you even try? (For those that have

Surely that's the manufacturer's job. Since it's caused by a specific byte at a specific place, surely you'd only need to fuzz an average of 256 packets (of the required length) to find it... which suggests it wasn't done at all... zero...

How is the "app store" going to be managed? Curated? I assume it's not just Google Play? Is Amazon involved? Discovery will play a massive part in the success of games, and therefore of the whole platform.

The TLS RFC (5246) specifically states that this exists: This leaves a small timing channel, since MAC performance depends to some extent on the size of the data fragment, but it is not believed to be large enough to be exploitable, due to
