People who say "he could just use sprintf" are missing the point: this lets you use sprintf while writing idiomatic Go . If I see a Go programmer import a sprintf library just because he doesn't want to conform to the progra

Do you have specific examples? I went over both lists, and most differences were either syntax, or "Lua has complicated feature X, JS doesn't."

This repository is Windows only, it uses \ as a path delimiter all over the place. Gives you weird error messages on Linux. Consider using / instead: it is accepted on both Windows and UNIX.

But what we need is a 4th option: a new SIGNOMEM that gives the process some time to release memory, or shut down cleanly if it can't.

This is not immediately clear from your comment, yet worth point out: That is not necessarily a bad thing. People change, society changes, is it so surprising the dating scene would change with the advent of the internet? This is but a smal

Hey man not at all, meeting people is great, it's fun. Dating is like life: people worry so much about what you achieve in the end that they forget to enjoy the ride. Besides, it's the communication age, isn't it? Date, my ch

OT: I feel for this guy; the only people looking at him are the photographers. I'm no fan of putting blame with the audience, but I'm glad not be presenting in his place...

It is ironic, but not necessarily nuts. Another case of removing freedoms to promote freedom is much of criminal law. Why does the state restrict my freedom to kill people? When your freedom reduces the global "freedom", the sum o

This is absolutely the argument for the flu vaccine. I like the thought of "beating" flu with oranges and sleep, but herd immunity saves lives. http://www.vaccines.gov/basics/protection/

Quite the opposite: it creates huge demand for local copies of foreign services that are unreachable from within it. It's the protectionist's dream. Foreign websites are, as a rule, very badly reachable from within the country. I

Do you mean representing each user as a vector in an N-dimensional space for N = number of possible votes, then using the distance between them as indication of similarity to weigh their votes relative to your preferences? If so, +1.

I'd like to ask you to reconsider your approach to people who talk about psychological problems. I understand what you're saying, and from the looks of the upvotes, you're not alone. However, a common thought for people who e

My friend, if you seriously feel this way, try asking people in your direct surroundings for help. If you have family or close friends, you can let them know you need ("would like", "could use", "wanna try", &q

Don't understand why you're being downvoted; that's exactly right. This is not like cocaine, heroin, or crystal. If anything, it's more like weed. The psychological craving may be similar, sure. It's habit forming,

Mainstream browsers do not readily support HTTPS connections to proxies. FF only very recently introduced this, Chrome needs you to specify the proxy URL on the command line. Even when you do, the connection to the proxy being HTTPS has not

(not affiliated) I always use http://ihackernews.com/ which has "collapse thread" buttons for comments and a "view on HN" for one-extra-click-to-reply. Use it on the desktop as well, actually. Definitely

To be honest: every now and then. Old (forum, ...) accounts, >5 years of inactivity. What e-mail did I use for this again? I end up just typing every e-mail address I can remember in the reset password field because it's faster than

His point was: x = [1]; x["test"] = 555; x.map(function (y) { return y; }); // [1] That's [1], not [1, 555]. You can access the array from the map interface, but not the other way around.

Paranoia over the FOUC is the bane of my web browsing days. Any time you use unstable internet (hostels in poor countries), designers' prude paranoia over their naked content being shown without the proper styling or font, it ruins mod

Yes, and they are, also, ridiculously expensive. A (awful) capuccino can easily cost 30 kuai, where a very nice plate of rice with bacon and garnish from a low-end shop will cost you 10. The entire drinking coffee outside game is just shock

Nice. Maybe not in China, but some countries force McDonald's to lower their BigMac price to hack that index. The Wikipedia page mentions countries doing this, and, seeing the quality and price of Big Macs in some places compared to ot

They are, and it's great. Why type in phone numbers or usernames for prospective contacts, just scan the code and you're good. Honestly, I don't understand why we won't use them back here. If only just for scanning stock

Hey, how do you know he's an ass? Because you think he showed poor taste in that article? You're going too far. "Written so badly," "written by someone with poor taste," call it whatever you will. But don'
