Interesting idea. I am not sure that such is available in Go. In Go, with slices, once the backing array has been allocated, I don’t think you can deallocate some at the end of it. But I might be wrong. There is a difference in Go’s slices

I’ve never actually seen a length passed to make() when creating a map - does it work? Edit: yep - https://go.dev/ref/spec#Making_slices_maps_and_channels

I am curious how much of a difference there would be if the author would use result := make([]unit64, 0, len(elements)) in the old func. I think that the way it is written, it will continually have to be expanded as the backing array

That was implicitly intended to be part of menu template code, so it would show the “Mixed Fruit” option only if it wasn’t prod, and as I tried to suggest in my comment, such code would not execute on prod (the endpoint/backend code wo

It's hard for me to say whether you are correct or not; I was under the impression that the data was updated on the DB instance, and in that case I stand by what I said (the prod data would end up on the laptop, but then as soon as the

I believe that your assessment of startups is valid. I also think your views are true of big, multinationals as well. It seems that by the time a company gets large enough, consumers start receiving some protections, but workers, not so muc

good ethics, bad data handling practices. <?php if (! $isProd) { showMixedFruit(); } Also, the code should not be allowed to run on a prod instance, even if it is triggered there. But, I'm sure you've figured thi

Interesting post. I have bookmarked it. I’m probably going to check out the software gore one for a few mins just to make myself feel sick. Unrelated, but despite not programming in C or C++ in several years, I have always enjoyed reading P

I can't say that I'm a fan of this current crop of LLM chatbots. Some things bother me about this article and the facts that warranted it in the first place. I have very similar reservations with regard to the Bing chatbot launch

I feel like I agree with the general ethos of the project. And I am also a fan of pragmatism; I think Fred Brooks referred to our trade as “toolsmiths” and I feel it is an apt word. Our work product exists solely to fill a need or to enable

Indeed. I really enjoyed the article, and I am grateful for the tool as well. My favorite section was "Staying relevant" which explains (IMO) how it is possible for this project to have not only kept such staying power but explode

That's really interesting. I personally feel like JS as it was originally created is some sort of travesty (my apologies to those involved - I myself have written a tremendous amount of bad code under time pressure - and not under time

It is indeed very brief. Something I've been wondering about lately is how much language developers get to code in their actual language. Perhaps if things get really really far along, the language interpreter/compiler/runtim

I enjoyed the article. Long time since I programmed in Java. I recall being recommended a book called Java Concurrency in Practice and it languishing on my shelf. I had a few notes: 1. It is really nice to have such thorough documentation.

Thanks very much for posting this article. I found it very intriguing. I read it carefully but I didn’t visit all the links or watch all of the in-line videos. I would say that for the most part I am a printf-style debugger. I remember read

One thing I don’t see people discussing here is that API calls often have consequences. Like, if you make a call in your trial-and-error process that inserts a row in some database, and that’s about it, it’s not a really big deal. But I’m t

Wow this is quite a takedown. For many years I was feeling like I let myself down by not reading the book Clean Code. I now feel like, by accident, I did exactly the right thing. That sample code he quoted is near unreadable to me. I also d
