It is hard to say: that's 2642 worth of revisions in V8.

String (unicode) benchmark throughput was definitely greatly affected by improvements in string handling (both internal operations and writing then out of V8 heap through the API; V8 also reintroduced string slices to avoid copying of characters for long substrings).

Other notable things on the compiler front: V8 has switched to a new counting profiler from statistical one, and now makes slightly different optimization decisions. There were improvements in functions inlining (including inlining of constructors). There was some cleanup in invocation sequences for functions and we enabled type feedback for function calls through local variables on x64 (which opened the door to all optimizations that were dormant at such callsites: e.g. inlining or direct calls).

Other notable things in the runtime: new GC has landed and was tweaked for quite some time. Unboxing of double arrays and tracking of smi-arrays (should not affect node.js though).

I think the only way to see which changes in V8 resulted in throughput boosts is to get per-V8-revision measurements.

My experience has shown that there is one more category - #1(creates frameworks) + #3(gets stuff done). In early stage startups, this is the kind of person you want. In big companies, usually #1 types are ideal.

I think the only difference now is that Macs use EFI boot, and not BIOS boot and hence will only boot software with a EFI-boot compatible bootloader.

> So the situation is perhaps a little cumbersome, but no worse than C.

Actually, this is not totally true. C has pre-processor and void * which allows for simple generic data structures with no performance impact. go ties your hands here since you have to use type-assertions which are not free, unlike C casts.

> 4. I think you're wrong. Think of any time you've written an event loop or had to rally multiple threads. I'm confident that in most of those cases you could have done it more cleanly with goroutines and channels.

Goroutines are great, but synchronous channels are not at all easy to use beyond simple producer/consumer models.

I'll also note that for both complaints 1 and 2, you think its trivial for programmers to just do the work, but I though go was all about saving programmer time?
If that's the case, he's doing it wrong. It's like the pot calling the kettle black.

He essentially argues that types are constraining on other languages based on types, where it is actually in Go that types CONSTRAIN your use of things.

Because obviously different things CAN be held in a container, and a container can hold different things -- but Go doesn't let you do that (except for the officially "blessed" containers).

It is Go that's concerned more about "what something is", in letting you work with it, than, say, Haskell.

Well I think I am totally missing the point then.

The page doesn't display any info/statuses related to my fb profile or any of my fb friends. From my point of view it is just displaying random fb results obtained by keyword related searches performed against the fb public data accessible via fb API. As far as I am concerned and aware of nothing in my profile is public.
It doesn't have to be that way; it's very easy to lock down your facebook settings to friends-only. I think it's quite ridiculous that that's not the default. This pessimistic assumption you mention where anyone can see everything might be the safest, but it's just not how humans work. When you're surrounded by a bunch of friends (or their status messages), you don't assume the rest of the world is overhearing you as well.

Ask HN: store password - no hash, but aes
It's just an idea....what's your opinion?

Instead of using md5 and similar (too fast to calculate, and rainbow tables attack too - if not salted) my idea is:

-create a cleartext (even public);
-use the password you want to store to encrypt this text, using aes256 for example;
-save the encrypted text;

verify your password (on user input) encrypting the clear text and checking if it matches with stored encrypted password.

Pros:
-it's more slow to calculate (and so less easy to brute force)
-being the cleartext different on each "server" there's now way to have a rainbow table!

opinions?

Lening: geld lenen als student loont - Je Geldzaken
The most useful information about Go until now for me:

It was not made to replace C++, rather, it seems that it grew out of frustration of using C++ for some specific project inside of Google. That program needed 45 minutes to compile on a computer cluster!

However, Rob seems to wonder why more C++ users didn't pick up Go, but Python users did. But I believe it's more than obvious: I'm sure that he still can't use Go even as the part of the mentioned 45-minutes-on-cluster compiling C++ project. Go is a system, not something that can be linked to the existing C++ or C or Fortran project. To compare, note that C was made to be able to be linked with Fortran or assembly.

Moreover, I believe that even if he had all the time of the world for rewriting the mentioned 45-minute-on-cluster compiling C++ project in Go, his resulting program would certainly compile faster and most probably "look" nicer on the line lieve but would execute bad enough that nobody would like to switch to his variant, just for the speed and memory usage aspects.

And that's all that it's to be said about Go. Good wishes are one thing, but the execution matters. One the pure performance level, it pays out immensely to replace some project written in Python with Go, on the "what compiler does for you" level too. Python is awfully slow whenever the built-in C code inside of Python and libraries like numpy is not executed, and the errors which you can catch with compiler are much more convenient than the run-time errors. But when replacing C or C++, you simply don't get the execution-level control or memory footprint benefits with Go. "But it's easier to write, especially concurrent programs" argues Rob. Yes, you can read it for every language in existence: for people who are used to the language they talk about, when they write exactly that what they are used to write, it's the easiest language to write in. Erlang people would tell him that Erlang is easiest to write for concurrent programs. It's easy to find the scenario where any language is an optimal one.

But being better or as good as C is not an easy task. The only language which was often quoted to produce even faster code was Fortran. Not that Pascal didn't have the possibility to avoid aliasing problems inherent in C, for the given tasks, numerical computing, Fortran was for enough historical reasons more convenient than Pascal.

"The determined Real Programmer can write Fortran programs in any language." http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/real.programmers.html For those who don't get it, it's a joke: I quote it in order to finish with: For decades, languages are marketed as the "silver bullets." Go ain't, just like most of them before. I'm old enough to know, some of the most successful aspects of Go: fast compilation, clean declarations and reduced syntax were present in the works of Niklaus Wirth: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modula-2

Wirth was obviously quite right from the start. And Object Pascal programmers know they had a lot of good sides of Go even twenty years ago. Including not being forced to have constructors.

Would Turing be so well remembered if he was a German Nazi code breaking expert? This thought experiment is a good answer to those claiming his AI and Logic work is of over-arching importance and who, by comparison, seek to downplay his major contribution to winning the war.

This is an uncomfortable topic, as it immediately brings into mind the 'reward' he got.

Turing's real tragedy was that he thought he helped 'freedom' to win and thus felt justified to enjoy it in his personal life and be open and truthful about it. Doing otherwise would show up the slogans of 'fighting for freedom' to be utterly empty.

I don't see this as a primarily gay issue but a bigger one of society based on following the letter of the law at any cost - never mind justice, motivation, and yes, ad-hominem considerations. Could as well be administered by a computer. Much easier success than with the Turing test!

I decided to research more on local forum (I'm from Hanoi, Vietnam) to see how people discuss about it and found some early adopter suggest Wechat as similar to Facebook FFN. After install Wechat, I found amazing local people, mostly young online, on mobile. In just an afternoon, I can add 50 new friends and start chatting. It look like growing faster than Facebook in this area.

I don't think you are disagreeing, there is a reason Go has built in containers like slices and maps: they are very useful.

Rob said he spends very little time struggling with those issues, it doesn't mean he doesn't work with containers, just that (in Go) it is not a struggle, it is rare for you to have to write your own containers, and when you have to it is not particularly difficult (compared to eg., C).
