   I love the approach of Lunatic. It really fulfils the promise of WASM I think, as a universal general purpose runtime.

   Yeah I assume so too, but I'm not sure.

   No, it uses native Nix directly on your machine - Linux, Mac, or Windows. Its integration with Docker is that it can _build_ Docker images from the Nix packages in your "devbox".

   A lot of these little irritations were due to a lack of user-accessible generics. Now that generics are available, they're available in the exp/slices package: https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/exp@v0.0.0-2

   I like the UX, but the results are full of content farms and weird ranking for the query "golang parser" ( https://you.com/search?q=golang+parser ). OTOH it is much faster than kagi. First result is good: pkg.go.dev

   I agree. The old version was super slow but still great, but the new major release a year or so ago is fantastic. Super fast, super intuitive. Well worth the $$

    I maintain a lot of open source projects, but IMO this is not the right approach. I think the [anecdote from @jbk]( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29524103 ) about ffmpeg illustrates that. I also don't think the pr

    I'm surprised some enterprising lawyer hasn't initiated a class action lawsuit against the telco's on behalf of those who have been scammed as a result of their inaction.

    Assuming the parent is being genuine in asking for help, I don't think is a very constructive response.

    Others have recommended Advanced Testing With Go [1]. I haven't personally watched it, but Mitchell Hashimoto writes clean code. But if you'd like I'd be happy to take a look at some of the problems you're encountering.

    It does. It sounds like the parent has had an unfortunate interaction with a bad codebase, because that is not accurate at all.

    One extra tip when wrapping error return values is to use the wrapcheck ( https://golangci-lint.run/usage/linters/#wrapcheck ) linter. This will tell you when you're returning an error without wrapping it.

    Oh huh, interesting, I've never seen that done before. I'm struggling to understand what the rationale _for_ doing it is though. Maybe it's to avoid an import cycle?

    I haven't looked in more detail, but one blocker is that `ProtoMethods() *methods` returns a private type, making it effectively unimplementable outside this package.

    As the sibling comment mentions, if you're running Intel JDK on M1 it will be slow. You can find M1 native JDK builds here: https://www.azul.com/downloads/?version=java-11-lts&os=macos...

    Same here, and my wife. That was one of my most infuriating phone experiences. The 6S was working perfectly fine then after some update it was basically useless. This was around the time of the underclocking debacle.

    This one? https://jvctv.com.au/product/58-4k-uhd-led-tv/ No mention of "Android" or "Smart", but it does do DVR of some sort, so it's not 100% clear.
