They aren't. When you receive an MMS your iPhone runs code to save and display the content. From my understanding of the article, the code responsible for handling an incoming MMS contains a critical security bug enabling attackers to

>if err != nil { gets old even faster. I don't understand this complaint about Go. Either a function can result in an error or it can't. If it can result in an error and you don't handle that error, your program's beh

It's bad practice to define an error globally. Let's say you create a goroutine which uses that same err variable (such as an http handler)--now you have a race condition, as that memory is being modified across threads.

For what it's worth, Robinhood allows free stop orders without any time limit.

Give Abot a look ( https://github.com/itsabot/abot ). It's an MIT-licensed bot framework, and it should do everything you need. Would love your feedback as well--email's in my profile.

Goroutines communicate data via channels, so you can just pass a channel a message (which can be anything). The channel will sit and wait for a message, processing the message when it's received. That said, for anything like a website

An alternative to Go's SQL null types is simply using pointers, like `*string` instead of `sql.NullString`. Pointers function in the same way, except they marshal into JSON very nicely.

Particularly knowing that they use those logs against you, openly and to the press.

Thank you :) No voice support yet but it's easy to add your own drivers to support external APIs. Official support for voice is coming in v.2 (ETA June 1st). Yes, we will absolutely make it easy to share training data via opt-in! If I

I'm building Abot, an open-source framework that makes it easy and fun to build digital assistants. We try to handle a lot of the heavy lifting you describe above, leaving you to create some cool things! You can see it here: https:&#

In addition to persisted sessions across ssh, you can also split windows horizontally and vertically, rearranging them on the fly.

I'm glad to see a return to improving compiling speed and binary sizes. Thank you to the Go team!

Exactly. In the next few months it'll be ready for a proper unveiling!

Thank you for the interesting comment. I share Satya's belief that these bots may very well become one of the most important technological innovations in our lives. I'm very open to building a Foundation around this. My goal for A

Hey Ian. Never intended for this to be posted so early (as it's clearly not ready). I'm getting some bugfixes out today that should address your problems. The README on the master branch is the most current set of instructions.

You deploy it on your own database, so I suppose your information security depends on you (or the DB-as-a-service provider you choose).

Thanks! We'll handle speech in a very similar way to how we handle SMS today. There's an interface (shared/interface/sms) that defines the functions any SMS driver needs to implement, like `Send(to, msg)`. Then we have a

Great points. The restaurants plugin you cited is using an outdated API. The new API uses triggers rather than a switch statement, which requires a combination of a Command and an Object to trigger a plugin's response (see plugin_weath

While the SDK is open source (in the sense that you can read the source code), Microsoft isn't actively accepting significant contributions according to their Contributing.md, which is somewhat disappointing. Any bots you build on Micr

A few key reasons, off the top of my head as to why we chose Go: 1. It's fast and resource efficient. 2. It's easy to cross-compile and deploy with a single binary and no external VM dependencies. 3. It offers static typin

This is amazing news, and I'm really excited for the innovation this is going to bring to the bot space. As an alternative to this closed approach, I've been building an MIT-licensed bot framework using Golang, enabling anyone to

This seems like the right approach--airgapped with redundancy. Not only is it more dependable and secure, it's also cheaper. You already have a smoke detector, so keep the parts that work. That raises an interesting question: what othe

As VCs often look for keywords, I suppose the trick is to build the old-timer system but describe it as the modern web developer.

Then up it to $10 and host identical copies across EC2 and Linode or Digital Ocean. Set up a git hook to automatically push from your primary to your secondary server, keeping both up to date. You now have better uptime than Github (100%, m
