Ruby has been used where Java was used before, but now some companies are switching to Go for the same purposes. Smaller, lighter apps that do exactly the same thing as the Ruby version. CloudFlare is one company that blogged about it, and I've seen other major companies make the switch.

I wonder how this works for Go, where style is stricter, and people tend to use a formatting tool. Only the comments and naming schemes left to identify by, I guess.

A little B&E might do it. Seems the targets were high-value targets.

FLAC is great when the ruling lossy format changes. Keep the FLAC source at home, encode to whichever lossy format is preferable on your portable player/phone.

I have one of those in my Mac mini. I didn't get TRIM enabled with the usual TRIM Enabler, but Chameleon SSD Optimizer worked. This is on Yosemite too.

It's the embrace phase, but not the classic one. This is Microsoft asking for a hug.

Grant worked on robot battle shows before. MythBusters wasn't his first show. I guess he also has his modelling career to fall back on.

Or just clenching your butthole. That's the supposed trick against lie detectors, anyway :) I somehow think it would have the opposite effect against this terror cam, but I'm not about to go on a killing spree, so I can't test it.

I can't say YouTube changed at all while they only allowed real names (but not really; I somehow managed to avoid it, having a short nickname already). There may have been a lower total volume of posts, but the remaining comments were like the cesspool we all know and love.

YouTube allowed a custom nickname too, if you were persistent. But as much as I tried, it never let me actually pick the the first 5 attempts. I now have 6 alternate identities which are *exactly the same 11-letter name*. But the 6th one stuck, and YouTube still logs in with it. G+ I only use to stay in touch with a minimal subset of developers, so my real name isn't a problem. I was confused by circles disappearing and being replaced with communities, though. It's not just their policies which need some tweaks, but also their interfaces.

A lot of tall women would reply to that!

It seems at least as good as most DVDs I have. Some DVDs have more trouble with uniform surfaces (skies especially). But yeah, if I were to get a permanent copy the Netflix stream isn't ideal :)

Anyone who watched Tim would have known, but this "article" was clearly posted by somebody who heard it from somebody talking to somebody else about it. I tagged it "whoosh".

Roughly since 1963, actually. Described in a paper from 1962.

Linq isn't missing from Mono: http://stackoverflow.com/quest... All the WPF stuff definitely is, but a good chunk of .NET 3.5 and up is implemented. They haven't been assaulted by attack-lawyers yet either.
