Why do they still call it ride sharing? Just yesterday it was in the news that Uber drivers will now accept tips. How is this anything else than a glorified app based taxi service? Maybe call it freelancing taxi, but definitely not ride sha

I've been using RC for a couple of months now in production, albeit my site is very small, and has been proven rock-stable. And the code is a pleasure to read. Amazing piece of software! Keep up the good work!

I was bitten by this once. A typo in dbus configuration rendered my machine unbootable.

I was never an active FB user, and it has been years since I deleted my account. On the other hand my wife is using it every now and then and I can see the entertainment value in it. I know everybody loves to hate it, but I don't see i

What kind of argument is this? Of course it is what FB wants, but this doesn't automatically make something bad. Having protected sex is exactly what Trojan and Durex want you to do...

> That doesn't follow. What do you mean? Look the short-history of internet. It is full of stories like this. Companies that refuse to find other ways earn money from users who don't want to pay (be it actual dollars or ads) op

Or if you don't want to introduce a new keyword just use "let slice", which shadows the first "slice", and hence making it go out of scope.

Personal opinion, but I would rather be given a way to explicitly define(or in that case "undefined") the lifetime, rather than having the compiler trying to be smart. I.e let slice = ... capitalize(slice); "unlet" slice

I think I didn't make my point clear, which was that by not allowing the ad-blocking users they risk losing the paying users too.

That's one way to see it. Another way is that the people who cannot access Forbes will access something else. Soon everybody will be going to this something else and Forbes will be another dinosaur. Bullying the users never worked in f

Off-topic, but if Forbes don't disable their adblocker-blocker, they will soon be broke too...

Why specifically YouTube? Are you looking to learn a new language? If yes then check out the Scala coursera courses.

Unless one believes in dualism, I can't see how one can believe that there is such think as free will.

No control over it. It will run when it decides to run, stalling my app.

And how could I forget, the multiple return values. Give me tuples, Go, don't give me multiple return values!

Looks a lot like a language designed by a committee, but I generally like it. I don't love it, like I love Python, but it does its job and it is fast. What I really like is the defer(), the channels(having the option for asynchronous c

I am with you. I think it was long time for sysvinit scrips to die. But that doesn't mean that it should be replaced by systemd. Systemd, like a lot of things coming out of redhat these days (firewalld), feels like bloatware to me. Sys

Thanks! 100k is far more than I need, but I couldn't find something that would fit exactly my needs, so I ended up rolling my own.

How stable is RabbitMQ? I've been looking into moving from away from redis pub/sub for a bit now.

Don't worry about the negative comments. People are probably envious of the publicity you got. It is very obvious that a lot of hard work has gone into making the site. Well done. It looks very nice.

Because I am curious. I love to read about what stack each company chooses to use and why. And even more so for brand new companies that start from scratch and have so many options. For example, did they use RethinkDB for the real time feat

Cool interface. I would love to read about the back end details. What stack do they use? What database? Cache-engine?
