Great article! I found the section on "GC Assists" very informative: > You can think of this like a tax that your goroutine must pay for allocating during a GC cycle, except that t…

Sum types would add much needed compiler safety to returned errors and optional values. We often see nil pointer dereferences during runtime due to the usage of pointers as optiona…

It's very unlikely they store their passwords in plaintext. They were probably logging during login requests and didn't realize the whole request body was being logged. Can happen …

It's possible their truncate also restarted the sequence: "TRUNCATE TABLE users RESTART IDENTITY;" https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13989243/sequence-does-n... Although, I am co…

This is not what happened. The tokens were mapped to user IDs and when people signed in, the db created new users which may have had the same IDs as old deleted accounts. When they…

Have you tried plantuml? http://plantuml.com/ https://www.planttext.com/

I think many would make the argument that not enough is being done environmentally and that more action needs to be taken. Cutting funding to the EPA and lifting restrictions are r…

I disagree about changing the track. It should be changed every iteration. If the track is not changed every iteration, the NN might develop to work in specific scenarios (only tur…

I wouldn't be surprised to see it shipping with Chrome sometime in the near future.

I'm curious as to why more WebGL games aren't popular? Is it due to the infancy of the WebGL scene or is WebGL just not capable of creating great games yet?

I used Polymer for a project a few months ago and I ran into browser support issues. Polyfills helped for most browsers, but my application wasn't working on iOS Safari. I'm not su…

I think it has to do a lot with moderation. If someone is going to take full doses of psychedelics multiple times per week, I have no doubt in my mind that they could go through se…

Is it possible that the xbox/playstation servers are overloaded from all the new consoles? Or is it confirmed that both servers are getting ddosed?

You could use JS to make AJAX calls to PHP, since it has a JS library.

How is this technology so much more accurate than Microsoft's Kinect? That's awesome! I love seeing the new guy develop a better product than a old giant.
