In the end this makes Rust loops look like Ruby loops. May I restate that «widely used programming languages are modified until they resemble Ruby» (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3448277) or CLispScript (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3448826).

What I do not understand of the late "scripting" languages (Dart, Rust) is why they don't just modify Ruby to have a stricter type system and call it done? That or just abandon the scripting mindset and go for more purely functional languages with non-C-like syntaxes like Haskell or OCaml.
>I know from experience that the gc 64-bit version is production ready.

Is it really production ready though, or is it the same half-arsed implementation as the 32-bit one, just taking advantage of the larger availability of virtual memory on a 64 bit system?

A Curious Course on Coroutines and Concurrency
Besides that, node can listen on UNIX domain socket, while nginx can proxy the connection over UDS, therefore people can avoid the TCP stack. That should also shave off some latency.

Postmortem of a commercial failure: My first Android Game App
Agreed, D is a much bigger and complex language than Go.

Comparing the standard libraries, Phobos doesn't look far behind Go in scope. There are big holes though, like crypto, which is entirely missing, and a complete SQL driver (was in development, but we haven't heard from it for a while now), although there is a binding for SQLite3 and several drivers for major RDBMSs (not in the standard lib, tough). Logging will be included soon.
Most of the rest is included (networking uses libCurl), and Phobos quality is continuously improving, some parts of it being excellent both in terms of functionality and performance, like the new regex library. On some other parts, like containers, Phobos seems much more advanced than Go. OTOH, there seems to be more 3-party libraries for Go than for D, but we can't comment on their quality. And of course, both languages allow to bind C libraries.

Depends on the journal you're publishing in.

Lots of journals (at least in my biological sciences field) require you to submit your code along with your publication so that a) the editor can repeat your results to accept your publication and b) for other scientists to repeat your stuff. Biostatistics AFAIK has an editor responsible solely for reproduction of results.

Personally saying lots of my code is repeatedly re-used by colleagues who can't program, for example scripts that parse BLAST-output and get the best result for each query etc.

It's strange that with all those threading examples, they didn't notice the need for a WaitGroup primitive. I know that you could implement it yourself. You could simulate the goroutines, implement channels and SCGI/FCGI and so on, but why bother when there is Go ?
I can understand his question. I've used Gnome Shell the last months, now with 12.04beta i'm running with Unity for the next weeks. They both have very similar concepts.
In the end, i'll probably go with Gnome Shell, because it's very similar and not some "we'll do our own, screw the rest of the linux comunity" thing. Never got why Canonical just couldn't build on Gnome, Unity would certainly be possible to be built on the foundations of gnome 3.x..

edit: Yes, also https://extensions.gnome.org/ is pretty neat.
Use GET for AJAX Requests (or not)
http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html#ajax_get

> http://developer.yahoo.com/ says: when using XMLHttpRequest, POST is implemented in the browsers as a two-step process: sending the headers first, then sending data. So it's best to use GET, which only takes one TCP packet to send (unless you have a lot of cookies). The maximum URL length in IE is 2K, so if you send more than 2K data you might not be able to use GET.

Is it me, or is this "best practice" is really wrong ?

The statement that a POST request is sent in two packets is wrong. Thanks to TCP's Nagle algorithm, most POST requests are be sent in a single packet (at least POST requests that are small enough to be candidates for being sent as GET requests), even if the browser sends the data in two write() calls

Secondly, if you modify the server's state in a GET request you are violating the HTTP protocol. Since GET should not modify the server's state, the browser is allowed to e.g. pre-fetch the URL, or re-fetch it when the browser is re-opened, which may be unexpected by the developper (it could send a blog post comment twice, or worse, execute a payment twice).

There was actually a piece on this on Watchdog (a BBC Uk consumer issues programme) just last night. One hotel owner (which provides free Wifi) said it cost them £300 to provide the Wifi, he had 150 rooms so £1.50 a month/5p a day. The cost of the Wifi equipment that needed to be installed? His reply was "it's like fitting toilets, it's a one off cost which you just need to pay". They were specifically looking at the cost of wifi when staying at top hotels, some costing up to £20 a night. Your argument was one they also raised :)

The reason for the extortionate costs? Probably to make up for the lost revenue streams from people not using the in-room phones any more. I hope at that at least in this instance the guy wasn't paying for the internet access, that would be taking the p*ss!

For those of you in the UK then the show is here:

"But head mounted displays made by Google haven't been available for years."

Sure, but this makes your point into a circular argument.

In your first comment you indicate that the fact that these glasses have been spotted shows that Google is able to make progress.

Now you're saying that the reason that progress has probably been made on the glasses is because they're made by Google.

I do agree with you that they are probably pouring a lot more resources into this than others have. I just don't think that sighting of the glasses in public indicate anything about what progress they've made.

Well, since the people behind Go did not up front say anything about the language/compiler being specifically targeted at 64-bit platforms, I would expect someone more mature from the Go team to step up and say something like "We are sorry, we didn't foresee the consequences of some design decisions and hence screwed it up." and either "We will fix it ASAP" or "We cannot fix it because XYZ". They might not take money for their work directly from the users, but there is still some moral obligation if you create something, release it to the world, praise its virtues and persuade people to use it. As it can be seen in the thread, lots of people already invested lots of time into building things with Go and now they're in serious trouble. Instead, many people in this thread try to somehow downplay the problem, advocate changing hardware (that's something quite new in the programming language world) or following some pretty absurd guidelines. This might or might not be representative of the whole community around Go, but it surely leaves a bad taste, hence the slight irony.
the 996 and the new 991 are all new designs, and not always for the better depending on your POV.

996: air cool -> water cool
991: hydraulic -> electric steering

Even from a physical standpoint the 996 on are positively large compared to 993 and earlier. Isn't a cayman about the same size as pre 90's 911s?

For the graph: add more data points (each quarter) and make the scale logarithmic with a linear mean overlay trend line.

Also, I can only see indication of growth from that one chart. How about some more data (different charts):

- What size is it in total, average of the objects?

- Bandwidth (transfer, compressed)?

- How much is cachable (repeat and static requests)?

- How much data duplication is there?

- How is the data change rate (by objects, by volume)?

- How are average volumes and bandwidth change by account (behavior trend)?

- etc..
You'd do tremendously better than Google in these circumstances just by letting people you ban actually talk to a real customer service representative with the power to investigate the problem properly and give decent human feedback after you've banned them.

The biggest problem is not the initial ban, but the total stonewalling from Google afterwards.

This may be true in countries like the USA and UK, which use the FPTP voting system and therefore have two big parties and therefore very little choice.

But most of Europe uses various systems of PR, which is a friendlier environment for new political movements to rise up and beat the MAFIAA. Which is exactly what the Pirate Party is doing.

Well, women's clothes is still 2X men's clothes.

Men still buy clothes. And men are not cost sensitive - women will shop for bargains, while men will just buy whatever they think they need.

I'd imagine women spend 7X as much time shopping for clothes, easily. That's why they need 7X the space. But they don't buy that much more, they just look at stuff, try it on, ask questions, drag their SO along (who takes up more space) ...

Men just walk in, see if it fits, pay up and get out. You just need a big rack of jeans / suits / t-shirts sorted by color and size, a change room, and someone to take their money on the way out.
If Google is, and has been for quite some time, using it for large-scale systems in production, I would call it production ready.

As others pointed out, no, you can not rely on HEAD requests. You may send conditional GET's though, as you pointed out: by using ETag/If-None-Match and/or Last-Modified/If-Modified-Since. Keeping a hash database in order to track changes is also reliable. You can also place a proxy between you and the rest of the world in order to deal with that, if the disk space isn't an issue.

I wrote a couple of services that need to poll for remote resources. They look like your usage model. I'd advise against PHP though. We already tried that and failed. Several times actually. The timeouts kill the workload if the remote isn't responding. Using an async framework like node.js proved to be more appropriate.
> We finally have some accessible options to customize the look and feel of the Unity desktop

How does it compare to KDE? I used Gnome(2) for some time but it was really (and I mean really) bad when it comes to customization of basically anything. I then switched to KDE which I found to be great in this area. I didn't like the look (and with my limited taste couldn't help it much) but I loved I could customize virtually anything. Just few clicks in GUI. I've used gnome-shell briefly and I think you can mess around with the javascript to configure a lot of things. But there was almost no configuration for the users.

So, my question. How is it now, compared to KDE? Both Gnome and Unity. Are some 3rd party tools (I'd imagine there would be for the gnome-shell at least) which could help?
> Head mounted displays have been available for years.

Yes, similar hardware already exists. What about the software and services? Google has an OS, voice recognition, navigation, etc., already coded. Most importantly, it has the brand recognition so it can seriously attempt to make this technology mainstream. Look at all the media coverage it's already gotten.

Of course, we have no clue if they've managed to mess up or not because we haven't really seen anything yet, but Google really looks like they have a chance at this. Imagine if these became popular and there was an app store!
It's a good start. If you take all the found listings within 50 miles, automate grabbing their descriptions from their artist pages and maybe a quick link to a sample song, put it in a table for each day of the week and e-mail me once a week, that would almost be worth money. It still lacks a lot of real local information but maybe there's more sites you can grep, i'm not sure. I remember all the band flyers used to be posted on myspace profiles, which might have also had descriptions of events that could be grepped too. Facebook and bandcamp and a few other sites are slowly replacing myspace for this, I think.

I don't know what the legality of this is exactly, but occasionally there are local sites which index upcoming shows that you could scrape from. For DC there's http://www.dcshows.net/, http://www.washingtonpost.com/gog/dc-music-venues.html, http://www.brightestyoungthings.com/events/index.htm, http://www.washingtondc.com/nightlife/localbands.html, http://www.dclivemusic.com/, http://www.washingtoncitypaper.com/music/, http://www.meetup.com/indiemusic-134/ and of course the venue website calendars which are probably a nightmare to try to index individually. The twitter feed of each venue can be a lot easier to grok (for example, https://twitter.com/#!/somethingl33t/dc-music)

But if you want to make some money, you might have to spend the time/money to pull all these sources for each big metropolitan area (where you'll be making the most bank).

Humanities are the hardest discipline to get a PhD in. The leap from a top student in a CS undergrad program to a CS PhD program is not a big one. Most top students in an undergrad CS program can make the intellectual leap necessary to get a PhD in CS.

But for an undergrad in a humanities discipline, making the leap to getting a PhD is a significant intellectual challenge. Reasoning about ideas, communicating them, and validating them, are infinitely harder in humanities than in CS. I would say, in terms of raw critical thinking skills, i.e., not pertaining to a specific discipline-specific problem, humanities PhDs would outperform CS PhDs.

And I say this as someone who is currently in a CS PhD program. I can read other engineering PhD theses and still make sense of it. When I read a humanities theses, I am completely lost.

When you say "there's so much noise in social channels and generally you find many people there who look rather for attention than real long-sighted achievements and it's hard to recognize the real gems in that noise.", could that not make room for a company that aims to do just that - recognize the real gems?

There is an "official" response: the post references a bug # where Russ Cox said "the rest of the issue will have to wait until after Go 1".

Note that Go 1 is a "language freeze", not the implementation freeze.

Now that it's known there's a bug that will be worked on later, people proposed possible workarounds, the easiest of which is to switch to 64-bit platform. I agree that downplaying the issue is wrong, but only one person did that.
