It compiles a binary, just send it to the server and it will run, no need to even have go installed on the server (or any libs really).
I did find this bit:

// When calling .end(buffer) right away, this triggers a "hot path"
// optimization in http.js, to avoid an extra write call.
//
// However, the overhead of copying a large buffer is higher than
// the overhead of an extra write() call, so the hot path was not
// always as hot as it could be.
//
// Verify that our assumptions are valid.

Some of these things might be deceptions, but they also might just be caused by the fact that human language is imperfect and ambiguous and thus it is necessary to have really precise definitions for certain actions, especially when it comes to the law.
> and basically no bars serve those in Seattle, only fancy restaurants.

I suppose this depends on what you mean by "bar". I've got some friends who are mostly abstainers, and they've had some delicious mocktails at Vito's, Tavern Law, and Rumba. I treat all of those as more bar than restaurant (I don't know that Seattle has turned me into more of a booze hound, but it's certainly made my booze habit more expensive), but they've all got full food menu's and kitchens. Where are you finding that's less mocktail-friendly?
Anyone using this in production? I've been looking for a stable alternative to Ember Data for a while that helps you with things like rolling back when the server returns an error response.

I quit computers for two years only to resume a year ago. Very enlightening experience. I recommend it.
Yea, I exercise. Probably less than I should. In 2011 I was running about 30 miles a month but that dried up around the same time my diet went to crap and I started drinking more.

I'm trying to get back into it anyway.
Most modern cruisers or destroyers aren't over 10,000 tons fully loaded, and are thus comparable to the light cruisers of WWII. The Dreadnoughts were a fair bit bigger (2x at ~20,000 loaded), but indeed were not nearly as heavily armored as the WWII battleships of 30 years later. A loaded Iowa-class battleship displaced nearly 60,000 tons.
Another metal that melts slightly above room temperature - and is liquid at human body temperature - is gallium. You can get a solid piece of gallium, put it in your hand, and watch it slowly melt [1]. Pretty neat.

Yeah, I assume you are in your late twenties. I've talked privately with lots of people in the Toronto tech scene about daily drinking. I was doing it when I was 27 during a stressful period when the acquisition of a company I started began to fall apart (I only ended up making 9 months of the 4 year vesting).

I was told that it either lasts until you have kids, turn thirty, or turn into a full blown alcoholic. I took the easier way out and just quit my position.
Alcohol is a drug. Whoever told you otherwise was wrong.
> get drunk every night like the goof in the article

The author didn't say he gets drunk every night, he said he drinks every night.

I have a beer or a glass of wine with dinner most nights. I get drunk (i.e. have more than one drink, feel drunk, feel worse the next morning) with a much lower frequency.
Yep, but the smart people just dumb down their resume. Resumes are marketing tools, they should be tailored for the job no matter the "level."

Floating in the clouds of Venus, sure. There's some semi-Earthlike zones in the cloud layer. On the surface, very probably not. It is unlikely that there is any structure that could pump entropy out of the cell faster than the horrific surface environment of Venus would be pumping it in. (More conventionally known as heat, but I find this formulation helps focus on the fact that "too hot" really is an intrinsic problem for life, not merely an incidental one that might be overcome by more chemistry.) I'm not even 100% convinced that a technological solution is possible that could work over geologic time frames, let alone adding the restrictions of abiogenesis on to the structure. (Though on the topic of abiogenesis, it's difficult to see how to apply any of the current thoughts on that to an atmospheric environment; Venusian extremophiles would also probably be immigrants from Earth.)

Wow. I turned 27 last week. It wasn't always about drinking because of stress (I happen to really like trying different craft brews), but lately it has been. My wife is going through some serious medical issues and depression, which invariably puts a strain on finances also.

I have learned distrust. I distrust anything that makes me feel good without having achieved something that merits that sensation.

Alcohol is like being wrapped in a comforter. You are warm, the world is soft, and like a child, you trust in everything turning out alright.

This has no relationship to the real world.

While I have enjoyed alcohol many times, and both drunk to excess and been a social drinker, I find that it distracts me. It distracts from what I should be paying attention to, while I'm busy feeling good and safe.

I do 40 days of no drinking every year starting Jan 1. The only year I didn't was this year because I decided to quit smoking completely instead (haven't had a single cig since, fuck yeah) (also, checkout /r/stopsmoking it is really fun to quit with other people and have people upvote you for bragging about quitting).

Another self-denial one I've done is to not eat anything that came from a possibly harmed-before-butchered animal. Free run eggs/wild fish/well raised beef only. This is much harder than you think, since it basically means vegetarian at most restaurants unless you call ahead.
I certainly hope you're correct.
I went 'dry' for a month when I was a bit concerned about my drinking, but still went to my regular pub. Drinking pints of postmix coke and socialising... doesn't really cut it. You get tired of postmix fast, and I generally love soft drinks.

When I had my first beer after that month, it was just a beer. I wasn't especially eager for it. That was heartening.

10% of people is still 600 million people. That's more than the number of scientifically literate people. Is science therefore irrelevant? Why are you bothering to make this point?
Agreed. I wonder what the browser support looks like right now.
This was my experience with the app as well. I could easily ear the lowest noise at all 3 ranges the app presents (lows/mids/highs) (does the app even play anything when it's at the absolute lowest volume setting?). I have what a doctor called "bionic" hearing in one hear and some loss in the other (got too close to a speaker while filming a concert), so testing each ear separately is important to me.
Ugh, I used to drink every day to unwind, but then it got out of control. "Just have one" (that's no rationalization, it's how your brain gets you) always turned into two, three, four. Hell, I could say I was an alcoholic, except it didn't really affect my work.

Quitting was pretty hard, too, I could go a week or two without any alcohol, then I just needed to take some.

Somehow, I got the willpower to buy a bottle of wine or beer, then just empty it out slowly in the sink - that was a very strong motivator to let my body know "I don't need this".
It took several of these events over the course of two months and I was free of alcohol cravings.

Nowadays, I do still drink occasionally, but never more than twice a month, just in case.

But more seriously, it seems like once one starts expanding the definition, homoiconicity gets to be in the eye of the beholder.

"In a homoiconic language the primary representation of programs is also a data structure in a primitive type of the language itself."

So you can take a monster language (at least any one with an eval command - Perl5 say), expand it's syntactical definition and get a "homoiconic language".

Silly question but why are the street markings all zig-zaggy?
I don't drink because I don't feel the need to. Simple as that. It has forced me to develop that "social lubricant" internally which people use as the most common reason for drinking. And for dealing with stress, I think sweeping it under the rug (even a little bit, or temporarily) is not the right way to handle things. I have heard so many reasons over the years, none of them have convinced me. As you can see in my other replies in this thread, this doesn't have anything to do with personal experiences with family alcoholism.

I'm also OK with recreational drug use for the most part. You're free to do whatever you please on your own time, as long as it doesn't affect me. I don't feel any better than someone because I don't drink and they do, that would be silly. That's just about everyone.

That's true- alcohol has a greater risk for dependency and causes greater physical harm than marijuana, LSD, psilocybin and friends.
I ask because my perception in reading your comments is that theory translates nicely to real-world practice (which is also what I get from reading the Hyperloop white paper), when the reality IME is that it almost never does.

For example:

If it's possible to make two tunnel boring machines meet at the middle of the English channel with the starting points separated by some 20 miles, then it's entirely possible to build a pipe-section-holding jig which can ensure precise alignment.

Of course it's possible, I've never claimed that it wasn't. The issue isn't "is it possible" it's "can it be done at less cost than current proposals." History shows numerous examples of new construction techniques that worked great on paper, but had significant implementation flaws - for example soil freezing was supposed to be a panecea on the Central Artery/Tunnel project, but there were a ton of problems in the implementation and unexpected results that needed to be dealth with. Even your Channel Tunnel example proves this point - it used a lot of innovative technology and it came in late and over 80% over budget.

You talk about a welding rig that doesn't exist as a fait accompli. You wrote "My point was to say that it's entirely possible to fit that size of a tube onto a semi trailer with no hardship at all.' - that's bull, I've seen crews have a difficult time moving smaller and lighter pieces off and on semis. "No wide corners, no permits, no height restrictions, none of that" - really? You're familiar with every possible street route along the proposed Hyperlink corridor? Because if a truck gets stuck someplace (it happens: http://www.wwlp.com/dpp/news/local/hampden/truck-stuck-at-ho... ) the project is in for a bad time. And again, we haven't even begun to address NIMBY issues.

That said (and I'm being serious here) if you have the chops to make solutions like this work, you need to be working (or consulting) for the big engineering firms like AECOM, PB, CH2M Hill, Jacobs, etc. Your ideas could revolutionize the industry.

The difficulty isn't making the machine, it's finding someone with the constitution to ride out the periods of uncertainty and doubt while all the bugs are being ironed out.

Exactly. That period is called "final design and construction." It's been the death of many construction and A&E firms.
I think you mean Timothy May, Cypherpunks founder?

Why? I would doubt that.
Do you know any interesting people who you would consider to be intellectuals who work in technology? If so, are their intellectual interests separate from technology (ie., they have a second life as a musician/artist/writer), or do they have technical interests that you would consider "intellectual".
I've also never drank before. People just can't seem to understand why I have never chosen to. I've also never met anyone else who has never drank.

Frankly, I'm sickened at the hubris involved in this kind of analysis.

Musk owns a space exploration company that is flying regular commercial missions, yet OP thinks that Musk has made elementary mistakes in his physics calculations. SpaceX are currently building a passenger spacecraft, but OP thinks that nobody has factored the effect of G forces on passengers into the design. They have reduced the cost of putting mass into orbit by an order of magnitude, but OP deigns to assess the validity of Musk's cost estimates.

Frankly, who the fuck is he to tell Elon Musk what is possible? Musk has degrees in both economics and applied physics. He has done the "impossible" in three industries and is an epoch-defining figure in electronic payments, space exploration and the motor industry. Musk isn't some crackpot with a big bank balance, he's a genius with an astonishing track record of revolutionising established industries from the outside, by ignoring old assumptions about what is possible.

Hyperloop might succeed or fail, but I genuinely can't think of a single person who has ever lived who might be better qualified to make that judgement than Elon Musk.

For ages I was in the habit of having a glass of wine of beer each night after work. For me it all changed when I started cycling daily. Firstly I started to notice the difference it made to me when I didn't drink each evening when I got home, on a 14mile each way ride it would take me at least an extra 5 minutes each way after just one or two beers the night before.

Then in time I found the bike ride alone was all I needed to unwind. I still drink socially, but I'm planning on cutting even that back lately.
As a frequent drinker and one who talks about the dangers of marijuana and other illicit substances (as well as legal drugs such as SSRIs) I am neither ignorant nor (do I believe) I am dull. I understand the risks and dangers of my substance of choice and am merely discussing those of another substance.

Medical issues are horrible, especially when then happen to a SO because it puts an unsolvable problem between two people that know they love each other but slowly slide into a distance that only exacerbates the problem.

Not that I could ever properly understand what you are going through, but I've found that being patient, and actively choosing to be patient, even when you don't want to be, and being kind, even when you don't want to be, really, really help a relationship because the other person usually senses that you are choosing to do something for them.

Sometimes it is just this concious choice that gives them validation that they are cared for and the other person can pull themselves up a notch. Sometimes not, but even in those times, the funk they are in is slighly less funky.

I personally enjoy a tasty beverage on occasion. But if I were to go 40 days without drinking I'm not sure that I would even notice. The OP doesn't sound like he was a particularly heavy drinker, but it always has a slight problematic ring to me when somebody tells me they haven't drank for X number of days. Especially when X is a fairly small number. I always figure that since they're tracking the time so specifically that they must be dying for a drink.
