Firstmateon Beyond Meat is struggling, and the plant-based meat industry worries

> You are not the target group for these products!

It's not a choice for me. When I go to _restaurants_, they are replacing their only vegetarian options with these impossible/beyond meats, and they're charging $2 more while they're at it.

These goals and target markets sound great on paper, but feels like the exact opposite in practice. The goal for reducing waste is great, but why are vegetarians paying that cost when they go out.

Firstmateon A cross-platform debugger for Go

Hi, not relevant to the topic. I visited your site, specifically "Homepage > Show all categories > Crypto" (http://golangtoolbox.com/categories/crypto) and was met with:

"template: views/layout:views/categories/show:1:301: executing "views/categories/show::main" at <.CurrentUser.Id>: nil pointer evaluating interface {}.Id"

Happens when viewing any category. Looks like a useful site though.

Firstmateon Abstract Libraries in Go

New to Go still, what kind of caution should one take when using interface{} to store data in structs? It seems to be a catch-all sort of type, I've read how cluttered some code can get when using it (I think it was an HN post related to math in Go, and type-checking against an interface{} type).

Thanks

It's kinda hard to read comments and to what they correspond to when it gets extremely long. For example: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=773106

Scrolling half way down makes it hard to see & read the comments.

Maybe a ajax thing that keeps the current comment scrolling with the page at the top.
