Moving forward, of course, it's preferable to use the official context package: http://godoc.org/golang.org/x/net/context

Any chance of a widget? Currently using "Day Counter" to track days since last X, but it doesn't have any concept of streaks or goals.

I'm an accidental convert. Since upgrading to Fedora 22, I've found myself using Firefox almost exclusively for both normal browsing and webdev. Previously I was 100% Chrome, and I've somehow transitioned without really think

The Nexus 5 has a magnetic sensor to detect when the case cover is closed shut. I suspect this is being triggered by a speaker or some other magnetic element of the MacBook.

Seems like a really smart way to use spare capacity to market your services. Especially so when your services aren't quite the norm (i.e. ARM rather than x86)

LWN suggests storage manufacturers have been optimising for FAT32, so even if other file systems were more widely supported, they typically won't be as fast: https://lwn.net/Articles/428584/

The Dell XPS 13 is superb, been running Linux on it since day one. Fantastic, solid little machine.

Having done a lot of Python web services (and other things) in the past, I much prefer Go. It may be a bit more verbose, but it's fast, the tooling is solid and overall I find it more productive. Everyone's mileage varies!

Fair enough! Good job :)

Looks great! I've been using github.com/kelseyhightower/envconfig which seems to do the same task?

Would love it if Pulse had the option to encrypt the stored data (currently it only encrypts during transmission), so it could be used on untrusted hosts.

On my (already battery-starved) laptop, it would always suck up 100% CPU for a few minutes on a fresh boot, and then occasionally pop up now and again. On my (PowerPC!) NAS, it was constantly using lots of CPU and RAM, although I have a fee

I'm almost certainly an edge case, I just migrated off BTSync. I was using it to automatically back up my docs/code/photos etc from my laptop to my low-power NAS, but the CPU overhead was just not worth it. (NAS was frequen

+1 on the XPS 13 (although I got mine refurbed rather than the dev edition) - aside from a little typical wifi flakiness, it's bloody fantastic and very un-Dell!

I've been more than happy with VIm and the vim-golang extension.

No, it just prevents other scripts linked from the same page from working via sneaky, nefarious means that make it hard to debug.

For applications on Google Play that integrate this tool, usage is tracked. This tracking is done automatically using the embedded version string (b2_liquidFunVersionString), and helps us continue to optimize it. Is this tra

Saw a new metal Pebble watch yesterday and was actually shocked to discover it was both smaller and thinner than my own analog watch, which isn't particularly big or chunky.

I've got the XPS 13 standard edition (max-specced refurb was half-price of the dev edition!) and it's been nearly smooth sailing. One difference between the dev and std editions is the wifi chipset - 6235 in std, 6230 in dev (and
