If you enjoy C++ and are productive with it, I don't think there's any need to force yourself to use Go unless you for some reason feel that's a more lucrative job market. I much prefer working with Go over C++. Its test tool

This is very cool! You're right that not exactly what I'm looking for, but great to see nonetheless. I did see on the product Q&A page[0] that one of the questions was about plugging in a keyboard. The answer was: "You ca

I really like the sound of this product, both for reading and _possibly_ for writing depending on the capabilities. I've been wanting to make a little writing tool with a really long battery life that I could connect to a mechanical ke

How much I love it. And I mean _alone_ alone. Not with roommates, or a partner. Just me and my cats. I feel a special sort of peace that comes with the quiet privacy of being the only human in my own home.

I only have Twitter, and that's https://twitter.com/Lazer But I use it less and less these days. Eventually I might just host my own one-user ActivityPub server, but more likely I'll let myself fade away from soci

Thank you for this; I've been manually unticking everything since these regulations came into effect and have to admit it was getting a bit tiring (plus sometimes I was too hasty and accidentally clicked "Accept" when the coo

I had to read the OAuth 2.0 RFC (and OIDC specs) while implementing an auth service and found it to be pleasantly painless. By the end, I think I consumed the vast majority of the document itself, but during the planning and implementation

I think it's true. Most of my time in Sweden has been in the games industry and there are constantly new studios popping up, both big and small. In Gothenburg there are lots of small companies serving the car manufacturing market, and

I know there's lots of complaint about error handling in Go, but I always liked it. I find it straightforward, intuitive, and it forces you to be absolutely explicit if you _really_ want to ignore something.

This kind of reminds me of Reddit's "Over 18" popup, where if you are not logged in and click on an NSFW link it will give you two options "Log in" and "I'm not over 18". As if acting obtuse and ignor

I slow blink at my cats all the time, and they usually respond. And when they do it first, I always make sure to slow-blink back at them. Can't leave them hanging. We call it the "love eye".
