The best part of it: if (typeof my_var !== "undefined" && my_var !== null) { // you idiots put Rasmus Lerdorf to shame }

I was also expecting to see a program running on multiple computers at some point until I realised the article is actually not news-worthy.

How about goroutines? Not that they created them (although their actual implementation is fairly unique) but they certainly gave them a chance to make them mainstream.

Yes. http://reliefweb.int/jobs Edit: You'll most definitely want to avoid the big organisations. Also, right now you could join about any NGO and get sent to the Philippine, small NGOs usually work as meritocracy. And

I think he was being ironical on the meaning of the French word "fatale": fatal. Doesn't really matter anyway :)

I don't know if I'm late on this or not. Anyway, you may want to go to Thailand for some time. Live on tourist Visa, renew them in neighbouring countries while enjoying time off. You could easily spend about a year without running

I suppose the internet generation never really took the time to read man pages (nor to write one for that matter).

Very nice analogy (the lingua franca ). The state of CS and the convergence we're seeing toward the web worries me though.

Same same. Though I'm happy with having a lot of stuff out of the stdlib because we know where that kind of things leads. As long as performance is good enough, that probably won't be a problem and discoverability is still ok (agr

Here's an example of how water brands vary: http://www.ehow.com/facts_6961715_bottled-water-brands-compa... It is idiotic to believe all water is equivalent. Indeed, a lot of the marketing around brands is ridiculous b

Strange one. FYI, "class" has the same meaning in French slang -- probably borrowed from you guys.

I was thinking about redistribution of one's work. It would be a lot of hassle for a simple patch.

It wasn't meant as a fully maintained fork. Look at it as a set of patches on top of the stdlib. As for the license, it does matter since with the GPL you'd be stuck and it turns out that there's some debate with the LGPL as

Not to mention it's trivial to maintain a fork of the Go stdlib thank to its permissive license.

It's correct, in terms of physical servers installed. That said, there's no reliable comparison (that I know of) with VPS instances hosted by well known US companies (such as Amazon) because they are not quite as willing to releas

These are physical, dedicated servers. You get full control over what's going on.

Why don't you openly discuss the issue with him? As your co-founder he deserves your trust and you deserve his understanding. Chances are he actually reads HN.

They pre-process the source. You can embed `text/jsx` scripts in your code.

You mean like the Sticky Footer example from bootstrap ( http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/examples/sticky-footer.h... )? It's actually not part of boostrap.

I was about to say the same thing. I live in Thailand and haven't had any issue with slow websites (besides the usual borked connection every now and then). I've worked for two different companies here that rely heavily on the cloud for ext

There's only so much load any piece of software running on a given and finished set of resources can handle properly... Once limits are reached, things will misbehave.

Code is just like literature. Too many words on a line and it looses the reader. All of this indeed depends on the density of the language you're using. If your're using extremelyLongVariableNames it may be ok to use 132 characters per line

IP assignment is the only thing I really negotiate when I take on a new position. I had one company back-pedal as they were trying to change their terms from nothing to we own anything you make, any time . I had the CEO/CTO of another co
