That would be correct we were living in 1990s. Today blocking access to social network can be interpreted as direct violation of right to communicate.


How much of an Arab was Steve Jobs? Why not Swiss?


He was adopted from Egypt that is as arab you can get.


WTF? Steve Jobs was not adopted from Egypt.


His father was Arabic, not his mother.


I guess i had my facts wrong then.


Well mentioned. I gave up reading. I am already -4 plus!


yep...


Worst possible time - and no Google cache. By tomorrow, 90% of the people who are interested would have forgotten the site, especially that they got some interest going on today. It seems to be an offshoot from Andrew Ng's team, which is trustworthy.


Lesson learned - ensure that your infrastructure can handle your times of peak interest before launching your product.


I heard this analogy when I was at Amazon: the internet is like a party where your worst fear is not that nobody will show up, but that EVERYBODY will show up.

They used it as a marketing pitch for AWS/EC2


Hard to do when you don't know how many visitors you'll have to handle...


Thanks for this


"Woz" would be a better title for a movie than "Jobs" anyway.

I like what Go offers, but is there anybody else who find code written in Go ugly?


I sort of found it ugly, before getting used to the syntax. A lot of the feeling of ugliness of a code comes from the unfamiliarity of the syntax.

I had the same problem with Rust, especially with the lifetime syntax; all these ' in random places just made a feeling of unevenness. But when your brain starts to have a deeper understanding on the construct, it processes things differently and the structure of the code comes at you in a clear way (when the code itself is not some crap by itself, of course). Beautiful code is clear code.


It's nowhere near as "elegant" as most scripting languages, and not nearly most of the purely functional languages, but I think it's better than /$C(++)?^/.


I am under the same impression. Can someone explain why the syntax is the way it is?

Don't want to be that guy but it looks like inbred child between c, php and pascal.


Yeah, only Lisp is beautiful. ;)


Yeah I think golang can get ugly. I think assembly is prettier http://www.tyrannus.com/asmexample.html
