Out of curiosity, what sort of setup do you use to develop Go? Do you catch mistakes like typos, etc at compile time, or do you use an IDE that would catch those beforehand?

I live here because I was born here. :) Always thought I'd move somewhere else, but now I can't imagine myself doing it.

pasting my comment on the article itself. admittedly this only addresses one of the author's points: On any Jellybean device, if you go to Settings > System > Developer options, and check "Show touches" to do just that, it goes a hu

" most of what constitutes being a hacker (in the HN sense) doesn't even approach illegality " I wouldn't say that. As an example, many companies in the (very crowded) data-storage or file-sharing space spend a lot of money on legal fees to

Not sure if I would read too much into it, though. One of my friends is a WebKit contributor, and apparently people at Apple regularly get their code reviewed and approved by Google employees and vice versa (as well as people outside both c

I agree that the name should be changed. If someone said they built their product "using Spark", it would be fairly ambiguous as to which one they meant, especially if their product has a data mining component. [ http://www.spark-project.or

I'm not sure if you're joking, but you should know that I had a good laugh at this comment. :) In case you are indeed wondering, gravity has no effect on cell growth, or indeed on any of the cell's vital functions. More than anything, cellu

What if I have that knowledge (in addition to software engineering) and would like to contribute in some sort of open-source capacity? Know of any other projects I could look into? :)

Yeah, this seems likely. Here's how I'd do it: create a webapp similar to this one to show to your Turkers. The difference would be that it would show an image at random, and the Turker would decide whether or not someone is pointing in the
