if you think it's just a text editor and some support tools then switch to vim.

We've been using Taiga[0] recently. It's pretty nice, and free for now. I'm a big fan of how easy it is to loop it into our workflow.

Re:Six years of Go on Wednesday November 11, 2015 @01:05PM (#10548075)
Sounds like a sadly universal experience. It's really unfortunate — Go is an interesting language, but the place they tell beginners to go to interact with the community is so utterly toxic to anyone who wants to ask any kind of question.

The comments which disagree with the author are patently abusive. I'm not entirely sure what your point here is supposed to be.

No one's saying "you are not allowed to talk"; they're saying "you're a jerk if you decide to be pointedly abusive".

You can still do this (at least in Windows 7, the last time I checked.) Just look in the 'Mouse' section of your control panel, and select the one to make <Ctrl> radiate circles around your mouse :)

> The oauth gem, for instance, redefines '==(val)' on the AccessToken to 'Base64.encode(self.signature) == Base64.encode(val).'

Is this just a complaint about the ability to overload operators in general?

A whole lot. It depends on how fast it is going. See http://measurespeed.com/deceleration-calculator.php for a quick-and-dirty overview. Gravity accelerates at at 9.8m/s², so if it fell for one second before impacting the ground, and took (for instance) 0.05 seconds to deform before coming to a halt, it'd have experienced 8.91 Gs of shock.

It's not "hidden" per se, it's the first SO result for googling "ruby generators".

What, precisely, are you looking for? The stdlib continues to grow and improve, MRI continues to get faster, we just got full native unicode support a while back, GMP usage in Bignum, refinements, symbol GC, compiling with jemalloc... and that's just stuff in 2.1 and 2.2.

It's my cooking timer now. Shouting out "Alexa, set a timer for 9 minutes" when putting chicken on the grill is far simpler than walking all the way to the kitchen and using a food timer.

Are you seriously implying that transphobic people deserve to be considered "oppressed" or "marginalized"? That they deserve our respect?

Excluding an entire swath of people.

>Is he unable to work with other team members because of his opinions?

Any future or current trans members of the Opal team who are or would be dissuaded away from a bigot.

Even @meh knows he's in an uphill battle. This is a fucking joke. Who is transphobic in 2015? Why would you want someone like that on your team?

>It will never work in retarded browsers who insist on removing the search bar though (like Chrome, Safari, IE).

Uh huh. Because they'll lose their ability to tell if something is a search or a URL because of bang parsing, right?
