I don't see how Go's pointers preclude a good GC. You can't have dangling pointers, so it's not as if they're forced to use a conservative GC. Care to elaborate?

Never heard anyone arguing HFT is terrible because the trading floor died either. These are straw men constructs designed to paint HFT critics as luddites. I'm undecided about HFT's ability to provide liquidity in the market. There are cert

I don't see any comments here critiquing HFT simply because it's complicated. Rather, they seem related to whether it's actually a net-positive for society.

Citations needed. The primary argument used against ACA's constitutionality was struck down by the supreme court [1]. And there already exists at least 50 government agencies that reserve the right to pass regulations without congressional

That chart is admittedly pretty terrifying. But the article itself argues the big reason is because Canada's nationalized healthcare plan has more leverage and price control capabilities than US Medicare. That seems more reasonable than sim

We can discuss Austrian economics until the cows come home, but in the mean time, the US spends nearly twice as much as the UK on healthcare (as a percent of GDP) [1] and 45,000 Americans die every year due to lack of coverage [2]. I'm glad

I don't understand why he's playing himself up so much for providing healthcare to employees. Of the 3 startups I've worked at, 2 provided healthcare and 1 provided a healthy allowance toward private coverage. All of them I suspect were sma

Isn't the parent referring to Pinochet? He was ousted in 1990. I'm not sure how much you can attribute the modern Chilean economy to his work. He was also a brutal dictator, so you know, there's that...

This is pretty strange if it's true; shouldn't a switch (especially one that simple) compile into a jump table? Otherwise what's the point? Does Go just linearly search through case conditions in a switch? EDIT: Missed the link: https://gr

Which aptitude tests do you think are effective? And if you buy into the objectivity of aptitude tests, how do you explain phenomenon like the massive racial gap in SAT scores [1]? 1: http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2012/09/25/sat-sco

Wait, what? The criticism that the original comment had no meat was fair. But then, when you're linked to concrete examples of the hypothesized Propaganda Model at play, you invoke a generic argument about the FSM? Do you not see how you're

There was plenty of coverage of Iceland during the financial crisis - despite its small population - because they had a disproportionate effect on the EU economy. It feels strange that such coverage should die off after real reform and re

What's your definition of a non-small jQuery selection? That sample test loops over 272 elements with no discernible performance effect.

The performance implications section is completely wrong. jQuery doesn't re-query for elements on each call; the results are cached. Here's a test: http://jsperf.com/jquery-s-css-object-vs-multiple-calls My results (Chrome, Mac) are showi

It might help to try to understand the target demographic rather than handwaving them as idiots. I have a decent amount of money, and I'm most certainly fed up with my institutional bank. An increasing share of my money is making its way in

Never said the premise was wrong; rather the author substitutes a thorough explanation on how and why this stuff happened with humblebragging. For Indonesia, The Shock Doctrine goes into much a much more detailed discussion of the IMF bai

IMO, it's not very good, especially for the HN crowd. The Big Short and The Shock Doctrine both provide a much more technical discussion of some of the same economic malaise while remaining far more riveting.

We ran some tests on using CloudFlare for our S3 assets. It didn't speed things up at all. On top of that, quite a few people have reported that CloudFlare would serve CAPTCHAs to users / mark the site as down and serve a static version. An
