It's a kernel bug that was reported to Apple years ago. Fortunately, it seems that it might finally be fixed in El Capitan: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/6047#issuecomment-135591...

So a "trade canary", then.

But the NaCl key is randomly generated for each connection.

Interesting. A couple of questions that come to mind: - Any rough benchmarks vs. TLS? Or even just back-of-the-envelope math/reasoning behind the claim in the opening paragraph: "without the overhead of TLS". - Instead of gen

The GC pause time is mostly proportional to the number of pointers in the heap, not the absolute size. For example, if your heap consists of a single 50GB []byte, the GC pause will be negligible. This means that you can often control the pa

Great context, thanks. I'm excited to start using it :)

Thanks! This is a good list.

Yeah, it's certainly more compelling than trying to build on HTTP 1.1. The alternative I had in mind was not using HTTP, though (for instance building some custom framed protocol on TCP, or open-sourcing some version of whatever Google

What HTTP/2 features make it desirable for general RPC (no browser involved)? In the past I've found HTTP (1.1) to be okay, but not great for server->server RPC. The semantics are fine (but overkill) and the overhead sort of su

The changes around defaults and field presence are a great improvement for Go integration (and according to the release notes, also Android Java and Objective C). proto2 integration in Go is fairly unpleasant and involves getters and lots o

I also listen to a lot of post rock while programming. Two more recommendations: - Explosions in the sky - Mono ("For My Parents" is my favorite post rock album)

It's unfortunate that TLS ended up being optional in HTTP/2, but if the big browsers only support HTTP/2 over TLS (as FF/Chrome have said they will do) then we might see very little non-TLS deployment.

You mean Borgmon? The Google monitoring system that stopped being a secret years and years ago? (One example from 2 years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/177267/we_are_the_goo... )

I've run into this building various analytics systems. The off-by-45-minutes timezones mean that if you want to keep your data in UTC and translate to local time in the UI, you have to maintain 15-minute granularity. (Although 30-minut

I don't think it's so much about the car in front as the cars behind, oncoming traffic, and obstacles on the sides of the road (curbs, medians, trees, signs, drop-offs, ...)

Sounded like a joke? In any case, swerving to avoid/hit a small animal is quite dangerous, and leads to crashes. If the animal isn't big enough to cause significant damage (I've heard "smaller than a medium sized dog&quo

I assume the new syntax highlighter is way, way faster than pygments. It's written in C++ rather than Python. (Atom uses the same grammar format, but a Node implementation.)

You don't need a Makefile for either of those.

As someone who writes Lisp (well, Clojure) every day and does not particularly enjoy it, I find the common complaint about parentheses to be a non-issue. In fact, I'm not sure I've heard of anyone who wrote any significant amount
