dcu··on Grappling with Go
I'm not. Are you testing with go 1.8 btw?
dcu··on Grappling with Go
I'm not seeing any changes in my results. I'm testing in an old laptop, I guess that's why it's so slow.

My rustc version is 1.15.0 and go 1.8.

dcu··on Grappling with Go
so I ran this test using the linux source code. I warmed everything to prevent caching/buffering advantages.

For loc the best time was: 55.425s and the worst was: 1m30.557s

For loccount the best time was: 42.345s and the worst was: 56.396s

loc supports more languages but I also believe it has more false positives. loc reporting seems nicer as well.

dcu··on Criticizing the Rust Language, and Why C/C++ Will Never Die (2015)
So Rust has started to receive criticism which means it's becoming popular. As the creator of c++ says:

    "There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses."
dcu··on Criticizing the Rust Language, and Why C/C++ Will Never Die (2015)
The go results are inaccurate because "go" is not searchable and most people write "go" instead of golang. Try searching for "backend go" in indeed.com and you'll see what I mean.

dcu··on RubyGems.org gem replacement security vulnerability and mitigation
I think we should ask the gem owner to verify that everything is ok unless there's a new version. I updated the script to report if there is a new safe version available.
dcu··on RubyGems.org gem replacement security vulnerability and mitigation
I just wrote a simple script to check the gems:

dcu··on Use Go, Dump Node
Updated to the new title from the article
dcu··on Building Web Apps in Go
I'd say go is just slightly harder to write than python and as fast as (or faster?) than Java. It takes a lot of less memory than Java and Python for sure. Easier to read than both.

here's an interesting article: http://www.whitesmith.co/blog/why-i-started-to-use-golang-mo...

dcu··on Ask HN: Is Python dying?
I completely agree with you and I had the same experience. Once you know the Go concepts (which are very few and simple) Go is not harder to write than Python. Probably easier to write and read.

I came to the conclusion that people who complain about Go haven't really try it.

dcu··on Why should I have written ZeroMQ in C, not C++ (2012)
yeah go/rust error handling is great. Much better than exceptions which make the code hard to read since you can't easily predict where is the flow going to jump. And the multiple-return is very convenient in this case too.

Also, with Go's approach you have to either explicitly ignore the error or deal with it.

dcu··on The Heartbleed Challenge
I'm sure this bug was discovered at least 1 month ago. I would not trust my keys are safe even if using cloudflare.

dcu··on Enable Two-Factor Auth on your VPN.
You are only trusting the half of the security which is better IMHO. The evil person would need to hack/steal both you and the (likely more careful) third party in order to access your accounts. In your scenario it would only need to hack you to get everything.

Making public a critical vulnerability on friday night is not a nice movement.

EDIT: Oh and there's an exploit already.
