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.

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."

Issue Grooming 6 years ago

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?

I Hate My MacBook 6 years ago

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.
