There's a list of various Go design documents maintained on the Go wiki: https://code.google.com/p/go-wiki/wiki/DesignDocuments There are a lot of interesting reads in there.

I'm not the parent, but we switched from Datatables to SlickGrid: https://github.com/mleibman/SlickGrid Much nicer API and it's fast for large amounts of data. Unfortunately like many things it's lacking

The prices are ridiculous. Look up Hennessy Hammocks for something more reasonable and be prepared to insulate a lot from the bottom, especially in moist climates.

Exactly. I've already had to give my fingerprint numerous times at the airport just to enter the United States. I figure the US government must already have it in numerous databases, so it's not a concern if they've backdoore

What fragmentation? I currently use 2FA on about 6 different sites. They all support Google Authenticator, so I only have one app on my phone.

Just because they can do large deployments doesn't mean it will be successful. Look at what happened with Buzz and Wave for example.

It's a library meant to be used in your Go application, it's not going to have a man page. It already has API documentation: http://godoc.org/github.com/golang/groupcache

I'm sure Apple has the resources to hire enough sysadmins to keep their systems up to date. The question is why it isn't happening.

How does that work for IMAP access? Do you have an "application-specific password" like Google does, or just your regular password?

It's not always obvious if a semantic change that's documented in the release notes will break your code. You might not know you use the code, the particular behaviour might not be covered by your test suite, etc. I like the fact

Nothing nearly as mature, but the project is here: https://github.com/gonum and the mailing list is here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/gonum-dev

Once main exits the program does as well, so all other goroutines will be terminated.

Even more importantly they get to monitor what products you look at and don't buy. Or what products you buy after looking at another product.

In Burnaby, BC we have some pedestrian signals that will audibly count down how long is left to cross the road as well as providing a visual counter on the signal itself.

Even if I know more or less what I am looking for, I'd still rather do it on my own time than have a sales associate "help" me. I always feel like I am pressured in to making a decision faster than I would otherwise. If they are helping me

The gc compiler does not use a gcc backend. You're confusing it with gccgo. The llgo project is working on an llvm-based Go compiler.

A lot of ceiling fans can easily be installed on to an existing light fixture by anyone who knows how to connect a few electrical wires together. I'd say the bigger downside is that it's fixed in one location.

Isn't that the standard way to decide what to optimize? There's often not much gain to be had if you are optimizing things that are not the bottleneck.

Another limitation of quickcheck that's often overlooked is that simply using quickcheck for testing your function does not guarantee complete coverage of your function. The coverage may also differ between runs. So while it's good for doin

Happens to me from time to time. Usually I get up and do stuff. One of two things happens: I find I don't get tired and so I just get a really early start to my day, or else I get really sleepy again an hour or so later and just go back to

Exactly. I didn't even know there were names attached to TDW stories at all. Is it a recent thing? I haven't been a regular for many years but read the occasional story here and there.

The new Yahoo Weather app mentioned in the article is really nice. However, one thing I'm surprised it doesn't let you do is take a photo.

NumbaPro generates CUDA code that runs on the GPU. I don't see how using C++ to do it would necessarily make it faster as the code executing on the CPU end of things is not the bottleneck.

Go doesn't come with a VM, it comes with a runtime. Go code compiles to native machine code.

The author states earlier in the article that we don't really understand sleep and that there is no one solution for everyone. He then proceeds to make a list of "top three" concrete and (IMO) questionable suggestions that he thinks we shou

The elements of the doubly-linked list are slices. A slice can be thought of as a reference to a backing array. The only things being created or collected by the GC in this case are the Element bookkeeping structures (and possibly some slic

One nit in the article: "Git master branch in sync with the Mercurial repository’s tip transparently. So far, so good." Did you mean "default" instead of "tip"?

Actually this outage report is a good example of compounding systematic errors. A among the things that went wrong: incorrect and impossible packet sizes were detected, the rule generator generated rules matching the impossible packet sizes
