Re:Beyond Meat Is Struggling, and the Plant-Based Meat Industry Worries on Tuesday November 29, 2022 @01:49AM (#33784444)

> You are not the target group for these products!

It's not a choice for me. When I go to _restaurants_, they are replacing their only vegetarian options with these impossible/beyond meats, and they're charging $2 more while they're at it.

These goals and target markets sound great on paper, but feels like the exact opposite in practice. The goal for reducing waste is great, but why are vegetarians paying that cost when they go out.

Hi, not relevant to the topic. I visited your site, specifically "Homepage > Show all categories > Crypto" (http://golangtoolbox.com/categories/crypto) and was met with:

"template: views/layout:views/categories/show:1:301: executing "views/categories/show::main" at <.CurrentUser.Id>: nil pointer evaluating interface {}.Id"

Happens when viewing any category. Looks like a useful site though.

Re:Abstract Libraries in Go on Wednesday May 14, 2014 @01:12AM (#7742308)

New to Go still, what kind of caution should one take when using interface{} to store data in structs? It seems to be a catch-all sort of type, I've read how cluttered some code can get when using it (I think it was an HN post related to math in Go, and type-checking against an interface{} type).

Thanks

I'm not quite sure if something along these lines is allowed on HN, but a few days a fellow posted a link to a script that allows you to control the time by which incoming and outgoing mail is shown on your gmail.I was wondering if anyone has a link to that.-Firstmate

Ask HN: HTC Evo 4G

Posted by Firstmate on Monday August 09, 2010 @03:05PM
from the ask-hn dept.

For starters, 4G is not available in my state (Colorado), so the 4G-battery burner problem is kinda out of the way. I've also been getting a lot of mixed reviews regarding the phone.I was wondering what you guys think and any personal reviews you can share.

Re:Please tell us what features you'd like in news.ycombinator on Saturday May 15, 2010 @10:37PM (#1351180)

It's kinda hard to read comments and to what they correspond to when it gets extremely long. For example: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=773106

Scrolling half way down makes it hard to see & read the comments.

Maybe a ajax thing that keeps the current comment scrolling with the page at the top.
