I looked at its serializing documentation and I was surprized to see that every floating point value is serialized to a double precision value. There are now four types of foating point values and this simplification is downgrading the capa

Unions is a problem for garbage collectors. It is difficult to know if it contains a reference or a value. Though Go should have a solution for your use case. The only one I see is polymorphism. Thus a stack of references to different insta

Thank you very much. It's the first time I see this pattern and a clear specification. I used privileged methods everywhere instead of shared public methods based on this article: http://javascript.crockford.com/private.html The missing i

In your example cygx, this.foo is a public member variable. As you say, it is possible to have private member variables but this implies some constrains. The following example illustrate how one may have private and public members as well a

I also believe that this is one of the potential benefit of G+. Though this can also easily be rotten by SEO if they use fake people or mechanical turcs. This may explain the effort to enforce identifying the real person behind an account.

I'm also working on the email problem but on a different aspect. If, as PG suggest, you consider a new protocol, is there a way to share this work so others may build on it and contribute to push this big snow ball or do you plan to make it

This is now my favorite essay of Paul Graham because it shares my thoughts. The only thing I feel less comfortable with is that it emphasis financial value over a useful contribution to mankind. In my view the later is more relevant than a

Thanks for pointing out the passive resistance actions of pacifists that I overlooked. You are right. Regarding Anonymous and Lulzsec one could add that we should avoid the mistake to consider them as an homogeneous group of people in term

Sorry, my bad. I'm French and mixed-up spellings (ingenieurs in French). I can't edit the comment. It is good to point it out so that people don't make the same mistake.
