Go has been out for a while, it's really cool to see it finally starting to gain traction.

Ramonaxvh | 13 years ago | on: Why Canada's productivity has been underestimated for decades

Am I reading it right that America has to import skilled workers, but Canada has so many they try to keep them out?

Ramonaxvh | 13 years ago | on: C Books and C++ Books You Don't Want

Without looking at the list I K&R isn't on it. It's really all you need to get started, you can find code snippets and experiment to get past that.

Has anyone noticed how many books on C are 4 times the size yet leave you with less valuable information than K&R?

If he were in the states I'd say he's just trying to build up a case for an insanity plea, but I'm pretty sure he knows how well that will go over in Belize.

Hoax or batshit crazy, or a little of both.

I've been running Windows 8 over a year, the only time I had "crashes" when was my SSD was going out. Can hardly blame that on the OS.

Windows Server 2012 is a whole other story for me though.

Linus is a socialist, and has always hated big corporations and profiteering too much off technology.

Thats why I think he's awesome.

Well that's one way to put it!

Ramonaxvh | 13 years ago | on: Amazon EC2 currently down. Affecting Heroku, Reddit, Others

This is the kind of stuff I think about when I hear people talk about the cloud and promise that downtime is a thing of the past.

Cloud hosting is not drastically different from any other type of service and is still vulnerable to the same problems.

Ramonaxvh | 13 years ago | on: Spammers start using short .gov URLs to trick their victims

The great thing about these URL shorteners is the companies seem to be very proactive when dealing with spam and malware. They don't want to be associated with this crap so naturally they block it when they find it.

Ramonaxvh | 13 years ago | on: Windows 8 is both infuriating and brillant

It's not as bad as some people say. Metro is not a good interface for desktop/laptops but you aren't forced to use it. You can always switch back to a desktop and yes you can still get to a command prompt.
