Nice! Great to see the Go team aggressively going after performance.

I would

Make that a lot of us need a good alternative. Google Reader is my most used app behind iTerm and Vim.

I depend on Google Reader for keeping up with Hacker News. I'm going to be in a world of hurt now. I use iReadG on the iPhone to browse headings and then star the Hacker News posts I want to read later when I get back to the computer.

iReadG has been great because it will download all the rss feed data and allow me to browser it and star items without an Internet connection which is great for those times on the road when there is no signal. I have no idea what I'll be able to use to replicate this functionality now that Google Reader is going down.

Very very sad.

I ran into the same problem with the lack of timeouts on the standard library's http server. This is probably something that should be updated to have a reasonable value. Even if that value was 10 or 15 minutes it would keep more people from falling into this trap.

Excellent success story with Go.

Love this quote... "We also weren't sure if we would be able hire top talent if we chose Go, but we soon found out that we could get top talent because we chose Go."

I went with Humana and pay $180 a month for a $2500 deductible. One person, non-smoker, in good health, in my 30's, single. If you have a family to insure, good luck.

Just how much has execution time improved? I'd love to see some benchmarks.

I'd also love to know the answer to this. I'm a freelance developer (Node.js/Python/Go) in SF Bay area and am wondering if this would be a good event to attend for building relationships that will lead to more freelance development work.

Does anyone have any experience with this? It's something I might be interested in using if it's a solid product.

How exactly does that make them jerks? It's their web site. They can decide to run it how ever they please.

You don't have to use their site if you don't like them.

Nice design. Looking forward to seeing it launched.

This is a great post that I'm sure rings true with many 'a webmaster. Time is money. There's no two ways about it. If you want a webmaster to modify their site in your favor, you should be willing to compensate them for their time in doing so.

This should be a part of the Ruby distribution.

That's not really enough information for us to help you. The only differing factor you've given us is dollars and cents. So, in the absence of more information, I say go with the one that gives you more dollars and cents. Or choose the one that requires communicating the least amount of detail.

My favorite new feature. Keywords arguments. As a Python convert, I really missed those.

The frightening part of this is unlikely. When was the last time you looked at something and lost control? I mean, besides in the Apple store.

Cool, I guess. No instructions what-so-ever. Can we get some documentation on keys to use?

I bought it. It was definitely worth the money.

Ember.js

If you write single-page web apps, you owe it to yourself to check out Ember.js. The learning curve is a little steep, but once you get up and running you can't beat it for a client side MVC.

You should put your contact details in your profile.

RubyMotion is exciting stuff if you're into Ruby. iOS development is the perfect compliment to your already hot web app development skills.

The controls don't react if you press them too quickly. How about queueing up key presses and then each additional step of the snake would dequeue a key press?

Does anyone else think the stages ramp up too quickly? How about cranking down the speed multiplier a little bit for each round? By the time I get a long snake I spend more time just not running into an outer wall than actually trying to corner my opponent.

Ok, so I figured out that you're always the red snake. Might want to point that out on the page.

Pretty cool. Although when you start, you have no idea which snake you are. I end up in the wall half the time because I suspect I'm the other snake.

Nice library! Too bad it's so large. 32k for tooltips is a bit much. Split this up such that I can use just the tooltip style I want and keep it under 5k and I'd use it.

This is an awesome use of a Pi! I've been meaning to buy one specifically for this purpose. Especially for when I travel abroad. Being abroad and being able to use my home IP address is a huge plus when it comes to dealing with banks, paypal, media services and probably all kinds of other services. It really sucks getting locked out of your own accounts because the company thinks you're not the account owner because of your IP address.

GoDaddy wouldn't even allow me to renew my domain names when I was in Asia. Had to setup a US proxy just to keep some domains from expiring. Yes, I'm in the process of moving them to Namecheap. :-)
