The article tries to make it sound more serious than it actually is. So you can't unpublish packages on NPM now. So what? Why are you unpublishing it in the first place? Just leave it alone and slap a deprecation notice on it.

strings.Split does return subslices of the original string. It's not making a copy of the string. Allocations still have to be made for slice that holds the result of strings.Split. That's where the allocations are coming from.

It's not enough to have separate names, implicitly you must also treat them like separate entities and duplicate the code for horses into a separate donkey entity. While the code may be similar at first, changing business requirements

Everyone who you see posting tweets longer 280 characters is paying for the premium subscription, which leads me to believe X might actually be more successful (more sustainable?) than old Twitter in terms of monetization.

Sometimes the most valuable guide is a working example. Lord knows, there are so many docs out there that keep prattling on and on instead of showing me the code.

Well good, because hopefully it will shed enough load that YouTube considers it a success doesn't go any further than this. uBlock Origin still works, that's good enough for me.

It's not clear from the README how even to install it, likely just an exploration of writing file searcher in Raku and not a serious attempt at replacing grep/find/ack/ag/rg.

I have experienced the same thing migrating off Evernote: manually. I'm thankful I only had around 200 plaintext notes to migrate so it was still feasible to do by hand. I've since stored all my notes as text files synced by Dropb

I don't know how to reply to that except "experience tells me it is miserable to mandate everyone to quote their identifiers when they touch your database". Do you do that?

I just name it users and accept the minor inconsistency that every table is singular except for the users table (it has the lowest cognitive overhead IMO)

You would think that right, but quoting an identifier is the start of misery. It means everytime you invoke the identifier, you have to quote it. If you don't quote it, you open yourself to bugs. It's a giant footgun. "But

I can't. I forgot which stackoverflow comment or blog post mentioned it, but unquoted lowercase identifiers are the most portable and resilient naming convention that work across all database dialects. You don't have to worry ab

SQL's most egregious reserved keyword is, in my opinion, "user". Almost every application will have a users table. I gravitate towards singular table names these days [1], and SQL sitting its fat behind on the word "user

Yes it is important to have validation for anything coming in from outside (json, the database, etc). This is done by creating a map with the valid enum values and checking at runtime. This compile time solution wouldn't have worked fo

This is not elegant. It also has overhead. Stick with the simple `const Red Color = "red"`, you're not gaining a lot by doing all these strange type contortions in Go. Seriously consider what you are protecting against, and

It's like (speaking) languages really. The good ones are ones that have always been there and people have just sort of accepted into the mainstream (like English). Don't invent your own language. If you can do it in an existing la

Good luck though, you're going up against giants (as much as this article portrays SQL as outdated, anyone who tries to go against it is very much the underdog). It's hard to get people to buy in on a custom database stack that is

xargs is more useful because it's posix so you can always guarantee it to be there (whereas with GNU Parallel you probably have to reach for a package manager to install it first). The ergonomics are worse though, as usual.
