For that to be a problem you either have to have one function that allocates an enormous number of non-escaping objects below the size limit (if the Go compiler doesn't take the total size of all a function's non-escaping allocati

What confuses people is int *foo(void) { int x = 99; return &x; // bad idea } vs. func foo() *int { x := 99 return &x // fine } They think that Go, like C

Go won’t put large allocations on the stack even if escape analysis would permit it, so generally speaking this should only be a concern if you have very deep recursion (in which case you might have to worry about stack overflows anyway).

Classify it how you like, but a gesture towards building a culture of accessibility (if indeed that’s what this was) is hardly comparable to an attempt to score points against political opponents.

I easily found some research by searching Google scholar: https://www.scitepress.org/Papers/2021/109668/109668.pdf It's not a big difference, but apparently TNR was the worst of the fonts tested for OCR.

It's an interesting observation but it seems like a pretty weak argument if you generalize it. "Way more people consume X than create X, so the creators must be insane". It follows that painters must be insane because there a

I agree with your point, but feel I must add a pedantic note on Morris dancing. It's a pretty niche pursuit in the UK, and I have seen Morris dancers in the US (without even trying to). I wouldn't be surprised if the US has more M

This seems to be a persistent source of confusion. Escape analysis is just an optimization. You don't need to think about it to understand why your Go code behaves the way it does. Just imagine that everything is allocated on the heap

These are all ridiculous shibboleths. I know what Solaris is because I’m an old fart. I’ve never used it nor needed to know anything about it. I’d be just as (in)competent if I’d never heard of it.

by foldr 11mo ago
It’s silly to assume that someone isn’t competent just because you know about a tool that they don’t know about. The inverse is almost certainly also true. Is there some kind of Google-centrism at work here? Most devs don’t work at Google o

That seems unsurprising given that it’s the easiest way for most people to do it. Almost any kind of obstacle will filter out the bottom X% of low effort sludge.

This attitude sucks and is pretty close to just being flame bait. There are all kinds of developer who would have no reason to ever have come across it.

This seems to confirm that the headline claim is based on little more than a hunch. At least, you haven’t pointed to any pending legislation or official government announcements relating to a new legal definition of ‘subversion’. So HN is h

by foldr 11mo ago
But what changes specifically are we talking about? The amendment that dvt linked to doesn’t have to do with labeling dissenting movements as subversive. It’s still rather unclear to me which specific piece of pending legislation (if any!)

Indeed. Really the last thing HN needs right now is another overheated, low information discussion about the UK. But for whatever reason UK-bashing seems to have caught the popular imagination in recent times. (There are plenty of negative

The official report doesn't identify the lack of sidestick linkage as a factor in the accident. Neither of the two pilots who were at the controls had any idea what was happening. Both pulled back on their sticks repeatedly right up to

Crashes caused by pilots failing to execute proper stall recovery procedures are surprisingly common, and similar accidents have happened before in aircraft with traditional control schemes, so I’m skeptical that there are any hardware chan

There are plenty of instances of Reform politicians saying things that are just outright racist (e.g. Sarah Pochin) and receiving no real reprimand from the party leadership. The only people not seeing the racism are the people who don’t wa

ECHR is still part of UK law (but I agree with your overall point).

Almost none of that is true (except maybe the 'weirdly structured' part). Conspiracy theories about the City of London have a surprising penetration amongst people who wouldn't usually fall for that sort of thing.
