Really? You routinely have near misses that would have been fatal?
To make fingerprinting illegal, you mean? Or were you thinking of some other way to solve the problem with regulation?
Nitpick: In the table where they break it down by category, it seems implied what percentage of each demographic says they don't use the internet (e.g. 25% of people 65+), with no mention of what fraction of non-internet-users are 65+. Both numbers would be interesting!
Absolutely. I wish Google would do simple, sane routes by default, emphasizing roads that were meant to be thoroughfares. I feel bad, and carsick, treating a quiet and winding neighborhood like a highway. And I hate all the traffic that goes along my residential side road presumably due to Google Maps.
Anyone know if gelatin causes extra animals to be killed? If not, you probably could feel okay about it.
This seems like a completely reasonable response.
What a wonderful video! He's obviously having so much fun, it's impossible not to have fun watching this.
I think there's a minor mistake:
"The program does not continue until the remote end receives the corresponding HTTP response. In the initial browser.go call, for example, the remote end will only send its response once the browser has finished loading the requested page."
I think this should read "until the remote end SENDS the corresponding HTTP response", or "until the LOCAL end receives the corresponding HTTP response."

The campaign was extremely unethical and misleading, implying that victims of domestic abuse would be more vulnerable if their car data were unlocked. I want to make sure I don't support businesses who were willing to pay for such a campaign.
I will pay for it because it's a really good product and I want to have it. I agree that the fee doesn't guarantee Google will always keep the product around, but it certainly seems to signal some investment in Google Photos.
Huh. What do you use it for on a daily basis?
What do "dev question" and "user question" mean? Are these support questions that get asked using a GitHub Issue as the medium, rather than bug reports?
Really enjoyed this, hasn't heard of him before. Just subscribed to his newsletter. Thanks for posting!
I became a Mac fan before I was a developer, because it was a lot more pleasant and less buggy and crash-prone than Windows XP or 7.
Then I became a developer, around the same time that MacBook keyboards started to suck, and now I use a ThinkPad and haven't looked back.
Understandable. The meaning is easy to grasp intuitively if you've studied Latin for a semester or two and happen to know the word "pulchra." If not, I'm having trouble thinking of any cognates in English that are in any kind of common parlance.
Protocol buffers solve most of the issues mentioned by people here, on top of being typesafe, space efficient (no need to encode key names because everything is an ordered struct), and having great tooling.
