Based on the docs and only tested against the unauthenticated endpoints so far...

Yes, and for highlighting off-topic subjects, there is the simple moderator acronym "OT". A rigid rule book and enforcement policy has nothing to do with free speech. It's all about trying to balance the inequalities in the tech sector. Unfortunately, a rule book is not going to solve that problem. The cynic in me just thinks this a conference "feel-good" announcement planned as a result of Googlers feeling bad about the fact that they are a 83% male workforce.

If the real problem is going to be solved, it's got to be about encouraging and educating people from all genders and races to code. That starts much earlier than any engagement in online communities. If the output of schools and colleges of trained coders was balanced, all the horror stories of harassment and abuse would soon become history as the workforce also becomes balanced, in my opinion.

I strongly dislike the idea of self-appointed judiciaries. Mistakes happen. The nuances of behaviour of people with mental health issues is likely to get caught up in these rule books. That's why we have courts, to help deal with difficult cases. Vigilantes may well refer to the code of conduct for justification for statements of intent like this:

I'm not comfortable with that.

The plastic which held them in place was always broken on the school computers :-)

In all seriousness though, I personally owe a great debt to Sophie Wilson et al for building computers and software that made it very easy to start programming the second after turning a computer on; A BASIC interpreter and an Assembler available instantly from ROM. I had endless hours of fun building parallax scrolling star fields by poking directly to video RAM and slowly rendering 3d scenes in Render Bender. It was just a shame that the computers were so expensive.

Didn't bdb's linear hashing scheme extend the size of the hash table enough to keep it at the required loadfactor?

Thanks for the downvote :-)

But the short variable declaration in the type switch does indeed save the casts the OP was complaining about.

Even more correct and horrible: http://play.golang.org/p/ZMQKQhuUQT

  func abs(x Top) Top {
	switch v := x.(type) {
	case int32:
		if v < 0 {
			return -v
		}
	case int64:
		if v < 0 {
			return -v
		}
	case float32:
		if v < 0 {
			return -v
		}
	case float64:
		if v < 0 {
			return -v
		}
	}
	return v
  }
