The weird thing is their web version / chrome app never has the state problems for me. But the mobile version on iOS screw s up regularly. I'll reach the end of my feed with the "all done" screen and upon refresh all the

The stack trace contains the stacks of all the goroutines. The running goroutine which caused the panic is printed first, so it should be pretty easy to find the source of the problem. At least I haven't had any issues in debugging com

Ideally by the time we get to that point of surveillance we'll have sufficiently advanced self-driving vehicles such that driving infractions will no longer be a thing. Most financial transactions that hit the banking system at some po

From the article: "This may seem confusing at first, but makes sense since TLS is just a minor update to SSL 3.0. Subsequent versions of TLS have followed this pattern. Since TLS is an evolution of the SSL protocol, people still use th

Yeah, but it's one I found I often neglected in the past. I ended up buying a Roomba since it was on sale and it's worked out quite well. It's not perfect at vacuuming but on average the floor is a lot cleaner when I can run

$99? That's well in to "shut up and take my money!" territory. I've long wanted to buy a GoPro for the occasional kayaking / climbing / skiing footage but there was no way I could justify the price tag. $99 (+$

Car2go also has a $14.99 / hour maximum, so you could potentially drive it a lot more and for multiple stops. No way you could hire an UberX to drive you around the city for an hour for that price.

Why would you send a string which is not valid utf8 over the wire in your system? That's the kind of validation that should probably be done prior to that. Or if it hasn't, you can do the validation manually on the receiver. There

Lunapads has been making these kinds of products for over 20 years (est. 1993): http://lunapads.com/underwear.html Really great people there too, and their products last for years so it reduces a lot of waste.

That's not been my experience, often it helps to add more context to errors as they propagate through the layers. Unless you control the entire stack of function calls top to bottom as part of your application, I think it's ogyrn

Isn't someone going by the handle "rubyn00bie" criticizing an article with "call me maybe" in the title as being juvenile something akin to the pot calling the kettle black?

What's even weirder is that with the Apple Store app you can scan your own items and just walk out of the store. Haven't tried it with anything really expensive, but I bought an iPad case for around $80 and just scanned it with my

Obvious and discoverable. I never even realized the time was a link, and I use the twitter web UI every day.

As a user with an account, I also struggle with linking to tweets. The process right now is something like this: 1. See tweet in timeline, click the "expand" link in the lower left, or just some other blank spot in the tweet. 2.

I don't really see any problem with alcohol at work events in general, but I think it heavily depends on your company culture. The (~40 person) company I worked at before had beer fridays occasionally and pretty much everyone would joi

Mocks (or I guess fakes, really) can be useful for simulating certain scenarios that are difficult to produce in real life but your code needs to handle. For example if in an integration test you want to see how your application deals with

When I wrote a single-page Angular app with a Go backend, we barely did any of the HTML generation on the Go side, basically just enough for AngularJS to take over, which was essentially just one index.html template. I found it worked reall

It only removes values that have been put back in to the pool. The assumption is that anything you've put back in to the pool has already been cleaned up to a state where it's ready to be used again when it's taken out.

Weird. I am in Malawi right and have basically the opposite experience. Google is dog slow, but I can get GitHub just about anywhere. Probably has something to do with where the packets are routed.
