no gofmt on save. Also seems to not pick up external changes in the editor, e.g. from vim.

Apparently you missed the part about not meeting payroll. There are few things worse( legally, in employment law )than missing payroll.

The rights of women? Women have a right to not have a book published? Really? I could make the parallel argument for The Anarchist's Cookbook, and the difference between publication and action, but what's the point? Gender poli

As it is with everything else, the line is drawn at "if enough people become offended".

Because HN readers have largely been swayed by the endless "nothing to see here" commentary of tptacek et al.

With the news out that UK and Dutch law enforcement have been fed data from PRISM, I really don't think anyone should take this feigned outrage seriously.

Thank god for this. If there's one thing that really gets despotic police states to change their ways, it's online letters.

Huh? The case looks exactly the same as the old case. Are you seeing a different version of the article than I am? The photo I see is this: http://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/img_9182...

If that were the case, then terabyte-scale volumes would be prohibitively useless - and I know plenty of people with media volumes in TC.

Runtime? Huh? Whether it's static or dynamic is language-dependent. Example: Java in particular does erasure on parameterized types, so generics are only compile-time.

Obligatory "fuck cancer" post goes here. I'm sure this is just some manner of selection or confirmation bias, but it seems cancer takes more technology luminaries than pretty much anything else.

The problem with this "forcing" that go does is that it ALSO includes _, which means it's inevitable that lazy developers will get tired of handling error and just shunt it into _.

Not the OP, but meaningful whitespace is an abomination unto the world. It's difficult to elaborate on something that is a matter of taste, but some of us need our code blocks visually bookended.

Decent article, but it's difficult to take seriously this form of argumentation: where instances of sexual harassment and assault against women are so rampant there are even websites devoted to cataloging them The existence of websites?

Well, for one thing, some people believe that it is not the role of the Almighty State to dictate and micromanage every single action or inaction that businesses and individuals take. Sometimes these people have the audacity to believe tha

If you discard huge parts of the population as worthless you'll have to invest even more in your security. You will have slums, riots, terrorism and violence and walled gardens. OP is offering a possible partial solution to exactly the pr

Heh. Daring to suggest people think before they procreate is certainly one of those things you cannot say. Ironic on HN, because http://www.paulgraham.com/say.html

"Not safe for [my] mind or [my] work. It is horrifying [to my particular sensibilities]." Fixed. Not every reader of HN shares your specific sensitivities.

Yes, the anti-suicide brigade is out in full force today. It's their decision. There are myriad reasons someone may want to end his/her life. It's not the role of someone not in the headspace of the suicider to comment on what they're goi

You're thinking of JSTOR. MIT wanted Aaron to rot in prison.

You can either hand me your wallet, or I shoot you in the face with this gun. This happens every single day for all types of people in the US. Man, mugging and extortion sounds so much better now that I realize how often it happens. Tha

Yeah. Extortion is fine as long as the government does it.

He's no longer independently wealthy. The infinite resources of the DoJ bled him dry in very short order, as they do to nearly every single federal defendant.

Sorry, I should clarify that the sycophant label was not actually directed at you per se, but at the larger group of people coming out of the woodwork on HN to defend this disgusting display of highly selective prosecutorial discretion. I'm

the 6 month offer hasn't been widely discussed by the mob It's been discussed. It's just that it's been dismissed as irrelevant. What is relevant is that the process itself has bankrupted a brilliant man, distracted and stressed him f

Nobody should ever take their own life With all due respect, sir, this is simply not true. Oftentimes, choosing nonexistence to loss of freedom, prison rape, and in general the hollow, empty existence of a caged animal is NOT an irration

Can you imagine the US Attorneys office treating you in the same manner they treat rapists because you wrote a downloader script? Minor nitpick: The "justice" system treats rapists far better. Typical sentencing for rapists is 112 month

Your unwavering sycophancy toward the Almighty State in the face of a clearly wrong prosecution is absolutely sickening.

It's absolutely relevant, since the purpose of the Second amendment is largely protection against governments, not critters, varmints, or even criminals.
