My guess? It's not being downvoted because people don't think managing your own memory is verbotten. It's being downvoted because it's a smart-ass comment seemingly meant to be humorous more than insightful. Your reply i

Pretty sure both the Go team, and the rest of us, would love to hear the story on this once you've figured it out. (And hell, some of the Go team would probably like to hear it beforehand, and could help: have you posted on Go-Nuts or

And that's certainly a reasonable choice... but, beware the tactics that are just to get you to buy Now, Today, without shopping at other stores and trying other mattresses. One of the places I went to get my last mattress was shocked

Filmmakers that make real money off films have virtually all gone digital. RED and Arri Alexa cover a huge percentage of movies made in the last few years.

Well, like landr0id says it's not "stable" yet... although it's on release candidate 1, so it's pretty close. Once 1.5 stable comes out it'd be silly to wait for 1.6, 'cause that's 6 months away.

I find the Oculus Rift DK2 with Vorpx (one of several competing pieces of software to play older or not-designed-for-VR games using the Rift) actually kind of spectacular. Elder Scrolls Online works well with it, and the game is an entirely

Dmitry Vyukov - Go Dynamic Tools [1], is the one that stands out to me. The Go-fuzz project which was at the core of the talk was linked earlier today [2]. Gotta love a tool that tells you "here's an obscure bug, RIGHT HERE!"

First time I came across this idea was in Ed DeBono's "DeBono's Thinking Course" which (paraphrasing) said "the sheer physical speed of the clever mind leads it to find an immediate solution. But not necessarily the

Doom was the death knell for my Amiga days as well. That and by that time, IIRC, it was obvious that Commodore was going under fast. I don't want to go pull out an Amiga and play, but it's rare to experience something that actuall

The scale of the old GC requires seconds, so the chart with old and new needs to show seconds. The new one doesn't, and shows milliseconds. The title doesn't say that all of GC is solved, just the latency problem, which for most G

That's often true. Really often true. But sometimes, a GOOD assembly programmer can beat a C compiler by a LOT. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8508923 "Hand Coded Assembly Beats Intrinsics in Speed and Simp

Some improvement to the garbage collector was done in the last release, and involved moving much of the runtime to Go. Making the compiler into Go, however, is actually only completed in the 1.5 (development) branch, to be released in... Au

The Adventures of Robin Hood, the Errol Flynn movie from 1938, is an excellent example of three-strip Technicolor, and on blu-ray some scenes look like they were shot last week, not 80 years ago.

On the director's commentary, at 21:50, he talks about pushing the digital grading and that "sometimes it's a little bit too much." (But obviously he didn't tone it back!)
