TypeScript team: rewrites compiler in Go.

Go community: what do you mean your new compiler takes more than a minute to compile? Unacceptable. Dishonorable even. We are so sorry for this sub par experience. Not how we do things around here.

Two days later: WIP 5x speedup.

HN: why pick Go anyway?

You pull back on the throttle and belly down in the water. Choppy days are the worst. Not too slow, not too fast.

Heavier now, you punch the throttles and begin to lift off.

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"

Bond movies often have really great cold opens, but the open to Casino Royale (2006) is really something else. Sometimes I put it on just to watch that scene and the opening credits.
