Sadly that's mostly still work in progress.

OpenGL bindings are at https://github.com/go-gl

For 2D graphics there's promising project at https://github.com/skelterjohn/go.wde which provides interface that you can use together with http://golang.org/pkg/image/draw

(Issue worth noting is that none of the platforms specific parts in go.wde yet have hardware acceleration so it's not yet ready for game development etc. It's quite possible that that'll change in the future though :) )

And for ascii graphics we have https://github.com/nsf/termbox-go

There are bunch of other libraries as well but these are the ones that I'm more or less constantly using. go.wde is probably closest to what you were looking for but also the one that still requires hardware acceleration before it can properly be used as fast canvas for experimenting with games etc.

Note: None of these count as "standard library", all of them are third party projects by gophers around the world.
The beheaders would be primarily responsible for it, not the Anons.

They might launch some missiles at South Korea, killing a few hundred people, then triggering a brief but deadly war that results in a few more thousand people dead on the "good" side and hundreds of thousands of dead on the NK side.

I'd hate to be the script kiddie who has to live with the knowledge that they did something that caused hundreds of thousands of people to die "for the lolz".
The Bloom Filter
Mostly because of copyright holders. Even with steam you can't buy many games thanks to publishers having exclusive deals with local distributors. It's even worse with tv/movies. Then there are different laws around the globe, but I guess that just takes some effort to solve.
The hackers would be indirectly responsible for it too.

Edit: I'm not saying they're guilty and should be put in jail for it or something. Not that kind of responsibility. However, they do bear some indirect responsibility that would cause most normal people to feel somewhat guilty.

An analogous type of guilt would be if, for example, I mistakenly dropped something while on top of a tall building and it cracked someone's windshield in the street below, caused an accident, and 3 people died. I didn't kill those people directly, and I definitely did not intend for anything bad to happen, and probably it was also the fault of the driver who let himself be distracted enough by something cracking his windshield to then proceed to have a major accident. It's hard to blame myself for those deaths, but I most certainly will, because I was involved in a critical part of the chain of cause and effect that made these three people die.

Now imagine if you dropped that penny from a tall building, and it caused 100'000 people to die. Some guilt trip that would be...
Totally off-topic.

I agree. Postgres is one of the most well thought out DBs I've ever used. They are slow to add features but when they do, they are done right with lot's of attention to detail. Everyone makes mistakes.
As an anecdote of how DRM hurts sales of DVD's - many of my friends now have 2-5 year old kids.

All of them bought a bunch of kid movie DVDs legally. All of them don't buy legal DVDs anymore as they are a bad quality product compared to downloaded movies:

1) The original discs get scratched quickly and they don't know how to back them up (as they are allowed by law but disallowed by DRM) - if the kids ask to "repair the movie" it is simpler for them to download & burn a fresh copy of the movie they bought, rather than try to break the DRM (again, breaking the DRM is explicitly legal here).

2) The original DVD's contain unskippable ads before the movie. It's defective by design - especially if you want to limit your kids exposure to that brainwashing. Pirated DVDs provide a better viewing experience.

So, a lot of people who would be perfectly willing to pay $$$ for many, many movies got hurt by the substandard product. If the content providers had legally sold the 'piratebay-style' DVDs at the same price, they would get their money.

Agreed. This would be really bad if the DPRK decided the Anon hack was an act of aggression. Didn't I just read about this somewhere recently? Oh yeah...

I really don't believe they will start a war because some script kiddie hacked their website.
100,000s of people dying (or more!) is not the best solution.
In many cases yes. That's why content owners won't sell for such price and piracy will continue.

"Most of the time the people who Anonymous give the stick to"

I really think it's important to our online discourse to unpack the proper noun 'Anonymous'. "Anonymous" isn't akin to The Junta of NK, the Department of State's actions on behalf of the Secretary of State, the UK Foreign Office or whatever. It's ostensibly actions by actors outside the beauracratic system performing anarchic acts. That's a pretty huge umbrella to use to simplistically label the actors as 'Anonymous'.
One reason I can think of would be because it's "not done" in international diplomacy to publicly admit of hacking. I don't think any country ever openly admitted to building Stuxnet and other "cyberwar" botnets either. Or maybe they did eventually (not sure), but only after very long suspicions. They could still tell NK of it privately, threaten them in an indirect way.

Note that I'm not saying they did this, or have good reason to. It's just that I'm a bit suspicious of anything Anonymous related after the Sabu/Lulzsec story, especially when it relates to propaganda like this.
Boston cabs have been refusing rides to other neighborhoods forever-- drivers just keep their doors locked and ask you where you're going. If they don't like the answer, they drive off. Blatantly illegal, but it happens all the time.

Funny that they didn't seem to have a big problem with this behavior until Uber got involved.

I think this makes my point in more/better detail than I managed to do. This is more or less what I mean by wishing gamers would get away from using AAA as some kind of symbol of quality.
This is very immature and very irresponsible IMHO. Poking fun of NK on the internet is only going to aggravate the situation, because I'm very sure NK will end up interpreting it as "US doing", rather than some random individuals.
Yeah, static stretching makes you too loose for powerlifting. You need to be able to achieve extraordinary tightness to maintain proper posture under the bar.

I find that foam rolling, lacrosse ball rolling, and band tension exercises help the most before powerlifting. My knees don't seem to track properly for the squat unless I foam roll my legs and glutes beforehand. It makes a huge difference.

Light static stretching is good for relieving tension and tightness after the workout. But before, foam rolling is much much better for making you flexible without losing force and tightness.
Odd lorem ipsum in Twitter Bootstrap

Twitter bootstrap example page located at http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/examples/marketing-narrow.html has the following lorem ipsum:

"Cras justo odio, dapibus ac facilisis in, egestas eget quam. Fusce dapibus, tellus ac cursus commodo, tortor mauris condimentum nibh, ut fermentum massa justo sit amet risus."

Translation from Google translator:

"Tomorrow is just hating, protein and more on the need Payments. More protein, regional and industrial advantages, More More More More, just as the main mass of the Community."

Very odd, to say the least.
Sign bit means one bit represents the sign of the integer which is the case with the most significant bit in 2s complement.

If you flip the sign bit, the sign changes. It does not mean that if you flip the sign, the value is negated.

My social commentary - there is immense peer pressure to do this - especially in the younger communities. A long time ago - we got the 'Jones family update' holiday letter once a year - a push update - now we can get fragments of it in real time...

“You could have this really amazing night, but if you didn’t get a picture, it’s like it didn’t happen,” said Ms. Parr, 22, a senior at Gettysburg, whose friends often order designer outfits from the Rent the Runway Web site because incessant documenting makes wearing anything more than twice taboo. “It’s crazy how much pictures consume our lives. Everyone knows how to pose and how to hold your arm and which way is most flattering, and everyone wants the picture taken with their phone.”

"you are not enriching your experiences by sharing them online; you’re detracting from them because all your efforts are focussed on making them look attractive to other people."

Humans are social animals. Everything we do is focused on making ourselves look attractive to other people. People who don't do this are typically not liked by others. The fact that most people do the behaviors the author describes and yet are liked by others seems to indicate that they've succeeded at making themselves look attractive.

Of course, there are plenty of strategies to make yourself look attractive. Some people might dress in mainstream fashion, hoping to pull it off well enough that they can distinguish themselves from all the other people doing it. Others get tattoos and piercings and make themselves unappealing to all but a niche subgroup, within which they have less competition.

I find it hilariously ironic that the author is engaging in the very same behavior (right down to posting the hacker news discussion link in the footer!) as the people they attack. Only humans can do this.
Inside Apple's Plans for Its Futuristic, $5 Billion Headquarters
This has for a long time been my only explanation for twitter. All the hash-tag and "centralized communication is awesome" came later. Twitter started out when blogs were popular and people were doing this "externalizing" on their freshly-setup blogs regardless of how little they had to say. The problem was you still needed a computer to access your blogger-or-whatever account since there were hardly any smartphones and even worse, you actually needed to write a little bit even when you just wanted to show off because most successful blogs back then were not one-liners with a pretty picture because all the "cool" kids were writing long entries so you had to too.

Enter twitter. They were the first ones to offer text-message (SMS) to website publishing for free and internationally. This was huge, even for me who giggles at "web 2.0" to this day. This is why it's 140 chars only and this was the main reason it ever got people's attention in the first place, now "everyone" could easily publish all that vital information about their pet's last bowl movement at any given time of the day from everywhere. And even more importantly, they could do all that showing-off in a much more efficient and easy way since it was only 140 characters so they did not have to bother with coming up with some "lorem ipsum" like entry to accompany their showing off. It was being able to show-off without feeling guilty about not writing a long blog entry. Reaping all that sweet peer-approval with hardly any of the work you needed before. twitter quite literally enabled this conspicuous showing-off and made it en vogue. Since all the "cool" kids were showing how great their lives are, so you had to too, right?

And now for something completely (or slightly) different. One of my real-life friends does that showing-off on fb in an even cheaper way that I haven't seen anyone else doing so far and I just find it even more ridiculous and it has become a pet peeve of mine. Without failure the last 30 to 50 posts he made were pictures of some sort of object of more or less conspicuous consumption and as text he would just write the one or two words describing what is on the picture - and then, to somehow add depth and give it more "meaning" without anything actually being there except showing off and to make it look "smarter", he would add a smiley. That's it. So imagine posts like:

"whiskey :-)"

"enchiladas :-)"

"sunset :-)"

"<insert expensive watch> :-)"

"someotherexpensivecrap :-)"

One of these days, the internet curmudgeon in me is going to call him out on it and properly ridicule him for it!
Are you requiring that end users wanting to search Twitter content authenticate with their Twitter account? The best way to scale your usage of the API with your user base is to require users to authenticate. 180 search queries per 15 minutes is plenty to work with for most users.

Phinergy's metal-air battery could eliminate EV range anxiety
I find myself being as guilty as any on this front - constantly thinking that my 'friends' (all ~200 or whatever of them in that list) actually care and need to know that I am eating/drinking/viewing/visiting/riding/doing/etc whatever it is that I am doing...

While I am ashamed to admit, I can recall more than one such instance where I am among friends having a drink, and I decide to check in - then I realize that I have to tag people, then I have to search for location because it didn't correctly pull up, then I have to re-do it all because I accidentally backed all of the way out of the initial post... Then I have to do it all over again to G+.. "Oh, what was that, friend? I wasn't listening completely as I was carrying out the super important ritual of sharing with the world that we are sharing this tasty beverage in this dark downtown pub instead of paying attention to our ongoing conversation about the next great thing in social media and connectivity..."

Is it the end of the world? No. Is it hurting my relationships - so far, I see no indication of that... Is it perhaps a bit annoying to have to repeat yourself a couple of times because you couldn't be heard over the glow of cellphone screens as they were being used to check in on FB? Yeah, just a little bit - but we'll live...

But really... Don't worry... Glass is here, kicking our assimilation into the next higher plane of online existence.. With some future revision, we will be controlling it all via eye movement and facial gesture - and so you will then be relieved, instead of annoyed, to learn that your friend wasn't having a seizure or a severe facial spasm, but instead were just tagging you in a post on Facebook and G+ simultaneously...

The reality is - we wouldn't do it if it weren't fun or providing us something that we (the majority of the collective) were looking for... It scratches an itch - albeit a narcissistic one at times... While I agree with points here and found the post to be an entertaining read, it's not (yet - or likely ever) that big of a deal... It now seems pretty apparent, with the success of MySpace, Facebook, G+ and other such social sites, that we all like it - the person posting about their drink at the pub and the person liking the check-in from their couch... That's the beauty, I guess - it's pretty much an opt-in activity - you either have an account and participate or you don't...

This is very true. The current experience of legal tv content delivery is terrible. It is stuck trying to squeeze the customer for every dollar possible, while not delivering the service that people really want.

The music industry is finally starting to get it, even if they are being dragged kicking and screaming by Rdio, Spotify, iTunes, etc. But still, these are all great services that are giving customers what they want when they want it. I just hope people like Netflix, Hulu and now Vdio will do the same thing for movie and TV content.
Please. Everyone online company is spying on you.

So, if they're caught in other ways than via the surveillance, does that open up criminals using iMessage to further prosecution based on the notion that they used encryption to conceal a crime?
This made me smile.

I mean, sure, it's undeniably petty, and if it accomplishes anything then it'll be to inflame the DPRK's temper. Maybe that's the point; maybe highlighting the empty nature of their posturing with insults rather than listening to their threats with prudent concern is a way to bring them into line.

I don't really think that's the case, and I doubt the people who did this thought that either.

But this made me smile. It's irreverent, questionably legal and of dubious value. That's what Anonymous stands for, and I have to admit that I'm glad that they're there to pull pranks like this.

Great post. Reminds me of Neil Postman's Technopoly - written just before the advent of the internet. The main premise there was that we live in an age of unprecedented amounts of information, yet our ability to parse that information and filter out the unimportant is diminishing, if anything.

Much as I love the man, I'm glad for Mr. Postman's sake that he has passed away and been spared seeing his most dismal prognostications realized in all their mindless glory.

I don't think the general public looks at it as much more than a publicity stunt by nerds, to be blunt.

People in power view it as an act of cyber terrorism.

I can't see how poking the DPRK will result in anything positive, especially given their volatile and often irrational behavior.

If they were honestly concerned with the security of Twitter, they should talk to Twitter rather than potentially stirring international relations.

Ward Cunningham on the Appeal of OOP and Dynamic Languages
Most programmers are, I think, quite capable of designing and building software to a set of specifications. However, most would not, in the process, also try to think of all the ways in which users and attackers would try to break their software. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to security issues in general and particular ways in which systems can be broken (and protected).

It is not prescriptive by any means but reading it provides a level of security awareness that is frequently lacking.

Knuth once wrote that before he writing tests for his programs, he puts himself in the meanest, nastiest mood he is capable of. I believe that this book can a similar purpose ,in the security context, for those of us to whom deviousness and cunning do not come naturally.
