Irrespective of legal requirements, Airbnb's messaging is certainly that you shouldn't have to worry about stuff like this. _The_ barrier to Airbnb being effective in the first place was people being comfortable with frequent, low

This is an incredibly useful guide, but it starts out with transistor level stuff that I at least find much less relevant. The good stuff starts at section 3, CPU Caches.

Hm? This wouldn't have been any better if implemented using sockets.

As a relative go newb, I do have a question about this: I thought channels/go routines were already essentially composable buffers. No?

The hard part of really building something is keeping to it over long periods of time, though. That seems quite different from being up for a competition.

Are you reading this line as communicating disdain? I read it as amazement. Generally someone isn't going to manage to become an expert at this sort of thing without talking to others within the (not terribly large!) field. That Zhang

Lisp uses the same number of parens as most languages per call – the only thing that's different is whether the paren goes before or after the first part of the call. (print "hello") vs print("hello"

Have you seen the WebRTC code? It's 1.1 million lines of gnarly C++. It's cool in terms of features, but that's the essence of bloat. One of the reasons Safari was built off of khtml in the first place was manageable code s

This is all framing. If you had first asked if the police should be able to catch the bad guys, and then if the crypto should prevent bad guys from being caught, you'd get a different answer. Kids are kinda nuts anyway, I definitely wo

If that's data-driven, they didn't give the data. There is no comparison of 90-day deadlines to the results of any other policy.

Hm, I don't think this is a good example if the point is to talk about general graphics slowness, because the slowness here is not due to generic graphics issues. This is slow because each pane is running in its own process and it&#x27

This particular issue is probably due to process isolation and sandboxing. In Tiger, all of those pref panes were loaded into the System Preferences app, and each pane could access all the same data as any other. 3rd party pref panes are su

It's not sarcasm, though you draw a very nice parallel. Cabel is correctly observing that Apple is a collection of people, and those people frequently disagree with each other.

I was surprised that 9% month over month growth rate is a bad number, given numbers in http://www.paulgraham.com/growth.html . I suppose the difference is "during YC" vs "leading up to a Series A"? What a

Where are the bright red instructions? I'm interested in this, but I'm having trouble finding an explanation of how to use http://www.testufo.com , or of what it's measuring.

Fish got his code committed into clang. I'm not sure about gcc, but it might have copied it from there.

There are plenty of free in-person classes in the world (I'm sure you can sign up for a dance class, for example), and an in-person class that had a 5% completion rate would be a disaster. I'm not sure what you're arguing. Yo
