A big factor is that Apple’s ARM SoCs in their phones/tablets are impressively performant and power efficient, and Apple have shown a consistent pattern of 20-50% year over year improvements in the A chips over last 5+ years. If Apple’

Hmm, this was posted 1 hour ago, 49 points, 84 comments, and it already moved down to 31st slot, off of front page (from somewhere in the top 15 just 5-10 minutes ago). That seems surprisingly fast. I noticed because I wanted to come back t

I’m happy to support IndieAuth (a decentralized identity protocol built on top of OAuth 2.0) on my site and give people the option to use their personal site, if they have one, as a way of identifying themselves and performing authenticatio

I’ve been very happily using Go the last 7 years (disclaimer, I’m employed to work on Go as of 2 years ago), some random personal thoughts. It’s interesting how a language can be boring and so fun to use at the same time. I guess I don’t wa

And if you create an account accidentally, there’s often no way to undo that. Next, if you don’t add a second-factor with to it, it becomes a ticking countdown until the account is compromised.

(I didn’t downvote this comment.) I agree it’s interesting, but I’m glad they’re using it. It’s better than them not using it. From looking at the history, I saw they rolled their own GraphQL client first, and started using my package only

What I would find very helpful is if Chrome on macOS could reopen all its windows on their original spaces—rather than all on the same space—when it needs to restart to install a new version. Having all Chrome windows from many spaces for d

If anyone is interested in learning more about the various trade-offs considered during its initial design, I gave a talk¹ about it in 2017, and wrote about some internal implementation details in a blog post². [1] https://dmitri

Hah, I just learned GitHub is using my Go package to access the GitHub GraphQL API v4 in this CLI. That’s neat. [1] https://github.com/cli/cli/blob/ad3a5903b2d327c1da8959708ef9...

FWIW, I believe I understand, and agree with the point you’re trying to make. In most circumstances I wouldn’t have a left comment because there’s nothing useful for me to add, just a thumbs up. But I wanted to make an exception this time.

This was fun to try as a little preview of what it’ll feel like to have an ARM-based MacBook. Bummer there’s no git¹. I was curious to try to install Go just to see how far I’d get before being blocked. Was able to download the source tarba

Thanks for feedback. I think the “special” part for me was that there were large sections of the Rust blog that I could skip having to explain, because they aren’t a part of the Go language. To me, Go is a language that’s much easier to lea

I really enjoyed this, and it also inspired me to try a quick experiment: what would the same blog post look like for Go? I tried it and wrote https://dmitri.shuralyov.com/blog/27 . It was a fun exercise to go through.
