Six years of Go 11 years ago

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 :)

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.

Should have used a high-powered Scaleway server as advertised on HN a few days ago :-P

The article is literally "If you tell these utilities to execute this script, they'll execute this script". NONE of these should be "unexpected".

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?

Do his opinions affect the software in any way?

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.

Questioning my right to exist with human dignity is not a "differing opinion", sorry.

It is a "differing opinion", you think you have the right to exist with human dignity, he does not.

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?
