They do sound a bit contradictory, but I think what is being said is that: - Rapid growth is a good sign, but not on it's own (i.e. without profit). - VCs like startups because they show a rapid amount of growth (but the risk is also h

Also, because it is a Result it forces the caller to either handle the error or explicitly panic on it, right? They can't ignore it? (which is awesome!)

Because I'm curious, could we have a link to your Go project if it's open-source? :)

Fact and allegation are indeed xor. Saying that facts should be treated as allegations is.. well... strange. The phrasing probably comes from the legal-style-wording in which I imagine they are trying to ensure they are not able to be sued

Why do you think that a CDN reduces privacy any more than if a company such as YouTube hosted 100k servers themselves (presumably maintained by _paid_ employees or by another company themselves such as Amazon)?

Our judicial system enabling content authors to go after non-hosting content delivery network services like CloudFlare and making the act of doing so _a successful tactic_ is _dangerous to the public_. Why do I say that? CloudFlare does not

Totally agree. From what I gather thus far it seems like Reddit wants control of their main content base provided _by the users_ so that they can monetize it and push e.g. ask-me-anythings as ads (AMAs as a service?). Reddit has literally t

Fair point. Not trying to minimize what you're saying -- But I am genuinely curious as to how you'd test such a vast code-base written by so many different people for security issue? e.g. how will 1.0 be any more secure than alpha

Over the past five years, I've been actively researching game-development. The truth is that everything you see in-game is faked in one way or another. Faking things is _really really hard_. Realistic death doesn't tie into the ge

I'd like to see Rust put more focus into making SIMD work nicely. I think Rust is a great alternative for C++ needed projects -- but it completely lacks SIMD in at least the upcoming 1.0 release. More importantly, there isn't any

Is there good reason for the videos to be public record? Why not have our judicial system decide/review police video on a case-by-case basis, rather than having them be public records? A defendant should be innocent until proven guilty

Heh, I tried to post a link to GopherJS this morning but it got deleted I think(?). I think it will be extremely useful for games written in Go that run using WebGL/HTML5.

Cubics cannot translate perfectly into quadratics, no. You can estimate a set of quadratics to build what appears to be a cubic, but they're not identical at any arbitrary resolution. Quadratic bezier curves, unlike cubic ones, do actu

GPU accelerated path rendering is one of the single most polar technologies. Things like Bezier curves are defined mathematically, so you can represent the way a tiger looks in a, albeit large, mathematical equation! But due to their usage

Rust does not yet have a SSL library implemented as far as I am aware of. Go, however, does indeed have it's own pure-Go SSL library[1] and does not use OpenSSL at all. [1] http://golang.org/pkg/crypto/tls&#x2

by slimsag 12y ago
I generally agree with what you're saying here. The difference appears to be that Rust forces you on a compiler level to be safe of any potential race-condition. Go doesn't enforce this on a compiler level -- but instead it encour

Why can't you transfer buffers as []byte or []float32 etc to another goroutine over a channel? Hint: that doesn't copy the buffer, it just transfers "ownership" of it.
