If Go supported method overloading, you could actually write the types of those functions out. The first one is either a string or a regexp.Regexp, and the second one is one of fou…

Huh. I'm not sure I saw that particular project during my search. It looks neat! Without having looked in detail at httprouter, I think the most obvious reason it might not be suff…

Yeah, this is a good question, and the unfortunate answer is that it was an engineering tradeoff. I wrote a pretty long reply to cypriss ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7632…

To be perfectly honest, I'm not sure it is better (I was hoping you would help me decide that!), and I wrote it mostly because every aspiring programmer writes a web framework at s…

Blackboard isn't all bad—fixing many of its inadequacies was one of my first big side projects in high school. There was one Blackboard dashboard unit that allowed you to embed arb…

Randomized routing isn't all bad. In fact, if Heroku were to switch from purely random routing to minimum-of-two random routing, they'd perform asymptotically better [1]. [1]: http…

Harvard is seeing a very similar trend. Our intro to CS course, CS 50 [1], had an enrollment of over 600 this Fall (up about 20%), making it one of the largest classes at the Colle…

Pretty cool, but there are a couple injection vulnerabilities when you make the cert.

...or you could request all your resources over SSL.

Facebook translations are crowdsourced. Doesn't excuse this particular case, but don't assume it was anything malicious on Facebook's part.
