I've also experienced strange page loading issues. AWS itself wouldn't load, slack wouldn't load isitdownrightnow.com wouldn't load. I guess the common thread there is AWS. Also seeing 503 backend unavailable from slack,

Surprised that HN missed this one. It's a free app which can do object recognition, offline! Seems like it could be game changing for some people. It was posted on /r/machinelearning: https://www.reddit.com/r&

I like CloudFormation. Unfortunately it is very unwieldy to write CloudFormation templates directly, and we're not about to start using the AWS CFN GUI editor! It seems like the assembly of the AWS ecosystem. Does anyone else have a fa

The increase was caused during 1.4->1.5 by translating the whole compiler toolchain from C to Go. The core devs focussed on correctness over performance on the first pass. They clawed back a lot of the performance already, and though it

This narrow view seems to miss the fact that the world is a complicated place, where mere revulsion frequently isn't sufficient to actually enact meaningful change. Being in a state of revulsion requires valuable energy. If you spend a

I agree with this and bilbo0s. There exists no panacea. But C/C++ leave a lot of unholstered footguns lying around to play with :)

A place where your reasoning breaks down is when one comes to define "the developer". There are a few legendary developers in the world I would trust to write secure C/C++. Others may be able to do so, by luck. Would I trust

This is different to the sort of thing Google is doing in the data centre. Most of the PBs/sec don't really see the light of day since you may have a multi-megabyte "image" being captured at something like 40MHz, but pra

Github has seriously harmed their reputation for me. Who is to define what's offensive? I'm reminded of someone who found the method "Hijack" offensive in the HTTP golang package, and the amount of animosity this created

There are two other solutions that spring to mind, which might require quite a bit less code: 1) Take the original code, do the upload exactly in place in the original request (not even spawning a goroutine). However: protect the upload wit

Does anyone know what they get for $9M/year? That sounds awfully cheap. A few engineers to port and install security patches? I guess there must be a few businesses out there paying, so what is the total money invested in maintaining W

Could someone elaborate on the scope of the problem? Is it a sensible question to ask "How many routes were leaked?" how big were the prefixes of the networks leaked?

This is isn't quite how I would describe it. Git does do delta compression in packfiles, but the fundamental primitives lack deltas. It's just: * The contents of this directory is this list of of files whose contents have these SH
