It depends on whether you're on gen1 or gen2 Cloud Run; the default execution environment is `default` which means "you have no idea because GCP selects for you" (not joking). Counterintuitively (again, not joking): gen2 suff

That survey specifically asked for the "biggest" challenge. One could make a compelling argument for the survey answer "learning how to write Go effectively" being an extremely bad option to put on a survey, because it a

"On the scale of an hour" means "within an order of magnitude of one hour", or either "10 minutes to 10 hours" or "0.1 hours to 10 hours" depending on your interpretation, either is fine.

For a language that prides itself on its error handling, that's a whole lot of words written on the myriad of incorrect and bad ways to handle errors in the language, many of which are actively and irreversibly deployed in the standard

There's no methodologically sound way to measure its popularity available to most people to make an argument on its popularity one way or the other. That's why I didn't, and that's why you shouldn't either.

I never said Go is dying. I said go must adapt, or it will die. That's future-tense. Sure, you can end up with C++ (which is still by some measures the most popular programming language in the world, so that's not a bad place to b

Changing too quickly is not a problem. Changing too quickly can lead to problems. I don't agree that the problems it leads to are bigger problems than stagnation. I also don't believe they're smaller problems; sorting the p

IMO: The position of "we aren't sure what the right approach to improvement is so we aren't going to do anything" has killed far bigger and more important projects, companies, and even countries, than Golang. Adapt or di

I tend to disagree, but I don't know what my disagreement means for the future of being able to use AI when writing software. This workers-oauth-provider project is 1200 lines of code. An expert should be able to write that on the scal

No. I said bureaucracy and I meant bureaucracy. Complexity is not what causes the problem of low agency in organizations. Bureaucracy is. There are many ways you can choose to build organizations to respond to complexity; Bureaucracy is one

This is the entirely predictable and avoidable impact of hyperscale bureaucracy. Its not because people aren't paid enough (though, most aren't). Its because people in these systems aren't given enough agency. Humans crave au

To be frank, their curriculum (IME) is so bad already that even if implementing more AI could only maintain continuity of quality (it can't, it'll be worse), they're still a doomed company. AI might help them make more langua

Poor HN title. The actual title is "Gender bias and discrimination towards women". Shortening this to "Gender bias toward women" implies that the bias is in womens' favor; which it very clearly is not.

Its more fun at parties to just choose to believe that many of these APIs companies deploy are REST APIs, where the word "REST" is just a word, doesn't stand for anything, and is entirely unrelated to whatever that Roy guy wa

Given the purported cost benefits in their whitepaper [1], hardware failures might be an irrelevant rounding error. They suggest something to the tune of 100x cheaper. [1] https://starcloudinc.github.io/wp.pdf

Agreed. A hot take I have is that I think AI is over-hyped in its long-term capabilities, but under-hyped in its short-term ones. We're at the point today or in the next twelve months where all the frontier labs could stop investing an
