No matter how many times I hear them I just can't get over how incredible and haunting loons sound (eg https://earth.fm/recordings/midnight-loons/ ) The only other animal sound that can come close is an Elk&#x

Most companies are only "progressive" inasmuch it lets them make more money. They'll be whatever you want so long as it lets them sell more stuff. The fact that this is apparently such a shock to people is exactly why they do

Same. I “just” had to use a different u-boot version and eMMC booting works just fine now. The default won’t work for whatever reason.

In addition to the other comments about memory usage, I’ll mention that there is a proposal (that’s either going to make it into Go 1.19 or 1.20?) that uses heuristics to determine a good starting stack size for goroutines.

Because most of the cheating is born out of laziness, not from a desire to pass at all costs.

Ah. But this is writing C++ in Go instead of writing Go in Go. In C++ I'd write something like std::vector<T> vector; vector.reserve(10); for (auto i = 0; i < 10; i++) { vector.push_back(...); } but in Go I&#x

I'm really not sure what your comment means, sorry.

Some complaints also seem like a lack of experience using the language. For example Initialization with make behaves differently for maps and slices: m := make(map[int]int, 10) // capacity = 10, length = 0 a := make([]

Like every language, there are plenty of 'problems' with Go. But many of these seem like off-the-cuff complaints instead of thought-out criticisms. To choose an arbitrary example: nil is sometimes equivalent to an empty collec

Sounds like the problem here is gerrymandering not the Senate.

The allocation of Senators isn’t supposed to be proportionate to state population by design . It’s a non-issue. Proportional representation occurs in the House.

go-sqlite3 is not pure Go. It is a Go wrapper around the SQLite amalgamation.

Keep in mind that this project isn’t creating a new SQL database from scratch. It’s literally ingesting SQLite’s C source code and spitting out Go. cznic’s done an absolutely incredible amount of work here. It’s not ready for prod yet, but

I’m not sure Common Criteria has much to do with it. Companies only get CC certification so their devices or applications can be used by certain government organizations. And so no company is going to target a cert level higher than the min

IIRC it’s because prom imports protobufs which use either Method or MethodByName, both of which put the linker in conservative mode.

Where I live—the Seattle area—it appears most or many places are having staffing issues. From basic grocery stores to higher-end New Seasons/Metropolitan Market type stores, for example. Same with restaurants. Heck, it’s even difficult
