Thanks a lot Peter.
Hi Peter,

I have a green card that will expire in August 2016. I also have a valid travel permit until 2018. If I do not renew my green card in August, and leave the country, will I still be able to return using the travel permit?

The author of this howto and I were best friends back in college. Good times.
Can people post their opinions on static linking of go binaries? Doesn't it result in increased size of runtime binaries when compared to those generated by C/C++?
Re:Show HN: Cancel your Comcast in 5 minutes on Friday October 02, 2015 @04:05PM (#10320953)
I'm sick of comcast and its hidden fees. Their promotion last for one year and they never inform the customer (conveniently) soon after it expires. The bill keeps piling up and when you call them one day to cancel, they feed you some bs on downgrading to a basic package or even reducing your current internet speed.

I had AT&T U-verses before switching to comcast and AT&T are no saints either.

Is there a company that's honest with its customers?

What was the title of the book you purchased? Can you share its name?
Re:Magnus Carlsen Repeats at World Chess Championship on Monday November 24, 2014 @01:03PM (#8653633)
Anand's play improved vastly during this WCC. In retrospect, he should've drawn the 11th game and pressed Carlsen with white pieces in game 12. Magnus played well but it appeared that he wasn't as prepared as Vishy for this match. Every champion eventually gets dethroned by a youngster. The new generation of players including Caruana, Karjakin, Nakumara etc. will pose a bigger threat to Calrsen than old-timers such as Vishy, Gelfand and Kramnik.

Just curious. How did you manage to use both emacs and vim? I've seen that people accustomed to one editor are usually averse to using the other.

Daniel King's daily reports on several elite tournaments over the past few years are excellent. For anyone interested in chess, I highly recommending watching his archived videos on youtube.
