FWIW I currently have a bot(of sorts) that's been running months constantly crawling, processing(html and images) and logging other sites. It's doing all this in-memory and it peak…

I'm only guessing here but I'd say it wasn't actual leaking but likely something like firing off 100 goroutines all of which end up on real threads(possibly because they're blockin…

If the 1-base convention confuses you then it's highly likely that you're either new to the language or doing it wrong, the same way many people attempt to write C code and call it…

It's not absolutely necessary - what is? It is however a great loss in Chrom[e|ium] and I must say it does get annoying when you're forced to put a slash after domain names which a…

... they're two almost entirely different things and besides... it's not directly got much to do with the users.

People have phobias for just about anything so I'm guessing, it's not just horror movies but in my case nearly any kids' movie that contains a certain kind of amphibian. It's even …

Didn't 787653467 people already say that?

I couldn't find any way of contacting the author or leaving a comment(except on twitter) so commenting here... Before I start I must say it would have been nice if a proper set-up …

> There is nothing tricky about the GPL (or any other Open Source license) in this context (or really in any other, since the license is extremely well-documented), and it is FUD t…

At least one of us isn't outraged, and why should I be? The news media goes too far sometimes. It's about time they learn to respect people's privacy, even if it means there's no n…

In that case why don't you?/they? just offer proper hosting because if you're gonna go that far you're just wasting bandwidth, money and other resources aren't you?

Guys, don't read the article, read the patent claim instead: http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sec... I think it's more important because I can already see many …

If that's taken as written then it's plain and simply impossible - no debate. I can understand that a significant slowdown might be a problem but otherwise it's just much ado about…

I have several accounts on Facebook that I use for "research purposes" and I think they'd be classed as active. I sign-in to them on occasion they all have at least 50 friends, the…

By that logic every SQL database is also a NoSQL database because the query language isn't all that important to the data storage.

In that case I say keep the scores hidden and instead introduce a 'report spam' link or something to that effect.

You start personally attacking or otherwise "hatin' on" on someone for no reason(in the case that they'be done nothing to you nor interacted with you in the past) then you're no be…
