Go was the first language that put a real effort in building a community, best practices and a healthy, sustainable ecosystem. This starts to pay off as there are more and more actively maintained, high quality libraries available.

You will find exponentially less vulnerabilities the more money you spend. How much you should spend depends on how big the damage could be in case of a breach.

Another example is Go's runtime.LockOSThread(), which will run a single goroutine exclusively on that thread.

I hesitated long to make qutebrowser my main browser because of lacking password management and device synchronization. Eventually I switched and started using dedicated applications for these tasks. Qutebrowser is especially great for bro

Glad the author mentioned taxes, which are definitely my 'ugh field'. However I already pay a professional to do most of the work, but it doesn't help.

Not a Magit user, but vim-fugitive. The main reason I prefer it over the CLI is for (un)staging hunks or lines. But I still use the CLI a lot for other stuff.

Not true if the value refers to something like RGB color components.

Ok. But this doesn't justify blocking the app by the government, or does it?

Well, what would be the expected behavior of sorting an untyped array?

I am using C and Go and I don't remember ever having to deal with some kind of change in the language. Sure there were changes but with very little impact on the ecosystem. Languages evolve okay, but Rust felt more like it was just ri

I think the concerns are more towards the ecosystem and community, which are very curiosity-driven. I tried Rust about one year ago and nothing would compile without the nightly toolchain. After reading the Rust book there was this real

The first half of the article basically complains about the write()'s syscall possibility to fail. Errors can occur and you need to handle them, there is no way around it. Given that "Everything is a File", the OS shouldn&#

As far as I understand, it's only about including more information in the compilers json output. But that information was already available in non-json output in previos Go versions. To get explanations on the optimization decisions b

Disabling automatic repository housekeeping might help. It can use lots of RAM for large repositories like the Linux kernel.

This is exactly my experience. On top of that snap creates visible directories in $HOME, f-up my loop devices and snap applications can't even access /tmp. Never had any problems with flatpak and appimage. I will however use it so

Here I used "UUT" and "component" synonymously, which is simply all the code that should be tested. With behaviour I was referring to expected output for a given input. There is definitely a lot of cross-talk. Can you

by clktmr 6y ago
I have seen too many badly written tests, so I tend to agree. Most tests will just fail on any change in the UUT, giving you lots of false positives. This ultimately results in fixing the tests instead of the UUT and blurring the initial

AFAIK you can do this with the official offline version too. What's the point of embedding it in vscode especially?

Not OP, but the benefit of the filesystem implementation is probably to only fetch the data on read.

I can see why this is interesting from a project manager's perspective. But why would I as a developer want this, let alone pay for it? Isn't this the "developing in a browser" nightmare everybody was joking about a fe
