Yes! I had the exact same reaction to this story. The way I interpreted the story is that the design of the Versa may actually have contributed to his wife's safety. It's possible the car was designed to crumple in such a way to d

According to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24073770 (fire-related auto deaths in Sweden), this is a problem. Around 5% of auto-related deaths in Sweden involved burning cars, and around 1/3 of these deaths f

I would argue that a Nissan Leaf would be overall safer than a Crown Victoria. First of all, the 2nd generation (2018/2019) Nissan Leaf seems to have a comparable weight as the Crown Victoria. From the data I've been looking at on

Go's been around for four years, so it's not that new :)

Wow, I didn't expect this to make the top of Hacker News :) Web.go is a wrapper on top of Go's net/http standard library. The authors of Go aren't from a web programming background, and the net/http server interface

Web.go was around a long time before pat. You're right, though, they're very similar to each other.

web.go was started a couple months after Go launched, and the web server back then was much more primitive than it is now. It's meant to be a nicer interface on top of the net/http server. In reality it's very difficult an am

Doesn't Ruby have a limit of 1024 open file descriptors? If some method in Ruby's standard library calls 'select' internally, with the 1024 limit, what happens?

Programming all day isn't what our bodies are genetically designed to do. Programming involves countless hours of ruminative thoughts, and limiting human contact, and stress, all of which are ingredients for mental illness.

For simple projects or toy apps, gofix is just fine. However, some companies are running complex production systems written in GO 0, and the code may have a lot of dependencies and custom build scripts. In this case it's useful to have an e

There probably is a market, but it's a lot smaller than building general web/mobile applications. The kind of clients that want to build an API 1) already have a main product/website and 2) are likely more technical than average. It's proba

I've known Matt for a while; he's a regular at the weekly Ruby hack nights in SF and we've worked together on some small projects. He has a great product sense and an extensive background in user acquisition strategies. This is a great oppo

The latest version does that.

This type of app is not particularly monetizable. Most people would use the actual website instead of paying $0.99 cents for an app. Plus, it was a fun project to learn iOS and it costs me very little to host or maintain.
