HN and GO(lang) has ruined me. Every-time I see "Go" my brain tries to think Golang.

Atleast on reddit someone reading the comments on there (usually the top) will be able to figureout that the story is fake.

So I am confused, how does any of this increase attacker cost? Cant you do the same thing at the OS level already? Wouldn't making the dir read only do the same thing?

If your data gets stolen and your website defaced what's the use of immutability? I mean you can always run a diff tool against the current code on the server with the code you have on your repo right?

I really hope Tesla would do a demo on the roads of India. If a car can self drive there I would have no trouble purchasing one. Indian drivers are some of the most resourceful drivers I have seen on my visits there, yes its complete chaos, but how they navigate through all that, while utilizing every bit of the road is, just amazing.

p.s I really enjoyed the choice of music on that video.

Can someone explain what happened to google. I mean, it was once a company so many of us looked up to and now little by little its becoming the "evil" in their own mantra "don't be evil".

I think the point is not "having something to hide". I think the point is more like how much information we are letting corporations and governments have about us.

For instance, something that really gets on my nerves is when I search for something on amazon and when I am reading a blog post about something completely unrelated to my amazon search, I see an advert related to my search.

This is just really annoying, its not like I want to hide the fact I am looking for a new TV its just that its really annoying and its an invasion of my privacy. Its just like having a helpful but nosy neighbor who gets the mail for you.

Also, just like you said, if someone has something to hide they will find alternatives to hide it, but why inconvenience us, the law abiding citizens, why invade whats our own business?

I think this is something that should be present everywhere. Especially when serving customers from countries with unreasonable data caps enforced by ISPs.

I have seen some times load up 5-6 MB files when a 100-200kb image would have done the job.

If us developers could have an easy way to do this, I think it would really make the internet a lot faster.

Whenever I need to find resources for anything programming related I google

"awesome WHAT_I_NEED"

find the awesome git repo and follow the links,

if I find anything interesting I search for the link on hn and reddit and try to see if there are any discussions based on the link.

profit??

While I am not a trump supporter OP's comment really makes sense.

And the funniest thing here is people should be celebrating this win becuase the way I see it, this is a win for democracy. The DNC took away the win from someone who the people wanted, they worked against the people and put someone up who the people did not trust or agree with. And at the end of the day the person the people trusted more won.

I might not agree with trump on everything especially his racist comments, but I do agree with an underdog powered by the people.

I think the big deal here is, a political one, more than a technical one. While google is the reason we have go and google basically pays for go, people are afraid that go might lose its simplicity in order to cater to google's wishes.
