Why interface{}? You're storing a value (and using space for it) that you don't need.

s := make(map[string]struct{}) s["foo"] = struct{}{} if _, ok := s["foo"]; ok { // exists } There are varying amounts of fluff you can put on top of this, but that's the basic a

One reason is that gccgo supports many architectures that gc does not (SPARC, MIPS, PowerPC, Alpha). It also was the only way to get Go on Solaris until the more recent port of gc to that platform. gccgo is also supposed to produce better c

If you just want to control Google Music via native keyboard shortcuts (and you're using Chrome), I made this a while ago: https://github.com/cespare/playctrl I use it on Linux and OS X.

I'm not sure why you think websites should cater to you if you're using plugins that disable browser functionality.

This post puzzled me. I feel like it was missing an introductory paragraph with a thesis and summary of the two branching models. You have to read part way through the article (ignoring the confusing diagram) before this becomes apparent.

I got mine in today, and hardware scaling seems to work just fine.

This single comment really messes up the whole HN comments page by making it really wide. Someone should fix the CSS. (By the way, you can fix your comment to not do that by putting it in a literal block by prefixing with 2+ spaces.)

Thanks, I'm not sure how I got that wrong. I certainly registered that it was a woman when I read the article.

Rust uses malloc provided by the system. It's mentioned in the article: "I actually do have a malloc function because my Rust standard library needs to link against it" He hasn't implemented malloc in his kernel yet (exc

I thought HEAD was too hard to type and have been using $h (zsh alias) for HEAD for a few years. I'll be glad to save another 1 character with 1.8.5.

Do you have a source for that?

As noted in the link, Go is also moving to contiguous stacks[1]. This is supposed to be implemented in 1.3. [1] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wAaf1rYoM4S4gtnPh0zOlGzW...

Was that Mixpanel css written by hand? Maybe it's just slightly inefficient css generated by sass/less/stylus.

I don't keep anything but text files in my dotfile repo, so I haven't had to deal with this.

I also keep my whole homedir in git, and it's great. My approach isn't to .gitignore, because I want to ignore almost everything -- I just add and commit things when I want to track them. One of my many git aliases[1] is 'git

I was under the impression that going for a massive megapixel count like 40 on a tiny sensor like most smartphones have (iPhone 5's is about 4.5mm x 3.4mm -- miniscule) is entirely pointless because the pixels start getting much smalle

There's an art/science experiment piece on display at the Exploratium (unfortunately I can't remember what it's called) that has a similar construction. The gear at one end is turned at a steady pace by an electric motor
