    (author here) Good question! Because this is on a hot code path, we were allocating new values faster than the garbage collector was able to remove them. Over extended periods of t…

    I did for a while. Around version 58 it started performing better again. Then something in v60 caused a bunch of CPU spikes again, so I'm using Developer Edition, which is on v61 a…

    Do you mind expanding on what you mean? When I look at the instructions here, they seem pretty concise. `export` -> exports the thing `default` -> if you require from this module, …

    Ruby has one of the better communities among programming languages - disproportionate to its popularity. I wish more languages had that quality of discourse.

    I think my comment wasn't super clear. What I meant is shift-tab in terminal emulation, which wasn't registering correctly.

    I should have been more clear. Shift tab wasn't registering correctly in terminal emulation.

    My favorite thing in this release is that shift+tab works in the terminal now.

    I think the way they see it is: Voice is basically deprecated Hangouts is enterprise Allo and Duo compete with Whatsapp/iMessage and Facetime/Skype respectively

    Don't you have React.PropTypes.shape({ foo: React.PropTypes.string, bar: React.PropTypes.shape({ fieldNum: React.PropTypes.number }) }) ? I'm not saying it isn't verbose, but I'm p…

    I don't know how you would handle all the banking websites that simply break or log you out if you accidentally go back a page.

    I feel like your comment is misleading. People who are military trained have guns - but no ammunition. Ammunition is harder to come by. People are psychologically evaluated before …

    Hmm, I just installed vim-7.4.1868, so maybe they removed it again? The closest thing I have is `termguicolors`, which I believe was there before.

    I would love to get more information on this. I'm not seeing `:set guicolors` as a valid option.

    Hanami has really good code quality: it's really easy to understand from a newcomer's perspective and is full of examples: https://github.com/hanami

    I'm unreasonably excited about `do` `dop`'s order being changed. I didn't realize that's what had happened in an earlier release, and writing blocks in Ruby has just been ever so s…

    I have ADHD PI and I definitely struggle with this. The worst is when I skip to a random word and completely forget what I was doing in the first place.

    Dashlane is phenomenal for sharing passwords and excellent for auditing them.

    This might be a dumb question: What happens if you find a bug in the language? Let's say something that you had written in C was being misinterpreted, and now the go compiler still…

    Awesome, looking forward to their docker image with this. Using their images has made my projects a lot easier to bootstrap.

    Agreed. But I feel like that shift has happened in the last 6-12 months. Now you have things like 5 articles talking about the interview and other media circlejerk happening. Reall…
