In fairness to Postgres, “DO NOTHING” is accurate within the SQL domain if you squint. It’s reasonable for queries to have side-effects on the underlying implementation as long as the invariants defined by SQL are met. Surprising, yes, but

I am a huge Postgres fan, but “ON CONFLICT UPDATE” does not always cut the mustard. You can’t target conflicts against multiple constraints, so if there are multiple constraints that could cause conflicts you’re stuck either figuring out wh

I don’t understand what point you’re making. Are you litigating against happenstance?

Aside from the legality, what’s different between a liquor store owner and a weed dealer? You may disagree with their breaking the law, but commerce is commerce, and this is victimless except with regard to the rule of law.

Hemp consumption _is_ non violent. I agree with your overall sentiment but that inclusion made me squint.

I’ve been running Linux for over 10 years on contemporary dell, Lenovo and Apple laptops. It’s fine.

It’s hard for Go to beat C in a straight benchmark - Go is garbage collected and allocations often have extra overhead due to the memory layout of interfaces.

I highly doubt it. We've seen the effect it had in China: impending demographic crisis. And most developed countries have below-replacement-rate fertility.

Be careful witn that reductive reasoning. Fines are an entirely reasonable mechanism to regulate an industry that is highly competitive with tight margins.

I don’t think you can fairly call go’s generics an “ad-hoc” implementation. They added syntax for it.

I’m not very literate in CS; I don’t understand your characterisation of late OO as a request response paradigm. Isn’t calling a function or method to get a result just procedural programming 101?

A predictive language model is unlikely to a) make novel discoveries or b) organise the supply chains and real-world work that would be necessary to say GPT6 served any role beyond fancy search engine.

First, establish that the language is the issue. Measure. It's difficult for me to imagine a situation with Ansible scripts where the performance bottleneck is the raw performance of the python runtime.

I don’t understand this comment one bit. GoLand is a decent IDE. Go is a fairly fast compiled language, likely to produce faster code than the average AWS workload.

Islam incorporates Jesus, Moses and Abraham. The continuity is direct, both historically and theologically. The histories of Christianity and Islam are wrapped up in one another. After all, the Arab conquests took what europe called the “ne

The (absent) packaging system is the single greatest reason I’ve moved away from python professionally. Life is too short to do without vendoring and/or lock files - especially in an interpreted language.

I didn’t learn anything from this post about why to use this sudo replacement except that it’s written in Rust and that it handles errors. Am I missing something?

These features have all been under discussion in the community for years. I don’t think the Go team need to worry much about “mindshare”; Go is not going anywhere in commercial software development, and is growing rapidly. Go is a perfect f

What a peculiar statement. I’ve been using vim as my go-to editor for most of my 10-year career as a software developer. I am very productive. I haven’t read said book.
