This is a very bad idea! It'll cause far more accidents as the result. You'll have some crazy bicyclist who'll fully ignore the stop sign and fly through them. What you describe is illegal now and will remain illegal if thi

One of the main reasons Amazon is able to treat its tech workers so poorly is their aggressive use and enforcement of non-compete agreements. Fed up with Amazon and want to jump to Google or Microsoft for better pay or better working condit

Otto looks great, and is probably a substantial improvement over Vagrant. My biggest concern is that it still relies on VirtualBox for local dev. VirtualBox is unreliable and slow, especially its file mounting driver. I'd love to see t

In the section where they are requesting immediate congressional action, they list "Cyber Threat Information Sharing Legislation". This is CISA.

The Golang Gopher is a design of Renee French, and the lack of attribution here is disappointing. Wouldn't these derivative works also be covered by her copyright? https://blog.golang.org/gopher

Nicer interface, but have they done anything about power consumption? Would like to be able to run a 30 minute hangout without completely draining the battery on my Macbook Pro.

Really cool stuff. Seems like you found a good way to hand off most of the hard stuff to AWS and only do a few key things yourselves to make the experience better. As such I think Empire has the potential to be a viable option for many comp

That's been the norm for all new instances launched by AWS in the last couple years. They often follow that up after 6-12 months with ephemeral versions of these instance types. Hopefully they continue to release instances with ephemer

No, I did not take a look at the data being sent. I'm sure that in most of the cases I cited, the HTTP payload is encrypted or at least signed. At the very least, using plain HTTP to communicate with S3 will leak some additional metada

No, lack of HTTPS does not guarantee a lack of security. That applies to Apple just as it does to the 3rd party devs they're pushing to use HTTPS.

The perspective transform on the video really makes it look bad. Jaggies on the thin lines and text and tough to read. It's worse in Chrome than Safari, but still bad in either case: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CHE

Interesting approach. I guess there are use cases where the small number of allocs of some of the other routers is enough to cause problems. I'll definitely stick to httprouter as my default starting point, though. The params interface

HTTP/2's flow control offers a bit of a solution here for mobile devices. Flow control operates on a credits/tokens scheme at both the connection level and the stream level. A mobile client could use a low initial window size

Even with buildpacks, there's essentially no way to use HTTP/2 or SPDY on Heroku until their HTTP router and load balancer stack supports it. Buildpacks can't really change that.

In the future we might also move our Rails applications over to Sequel, but considering Rails is so tightly coupled to ActiveRecord we’re not entirely sure yet if this is worth the time and effort. Actually, with modern versions of Rails,

It requires a small section in a book to tell you how to undo all the tricks you've had to learn in the past 10 years to make an HTTP/1.1 website fast. Most of that is irrelevant and detrimental with HTTP/2, which is kind of
