One thing to consider — one of the reasons I want our Actions CI to be fast is that I do a good deal of agentic coding work in parallel (worktrees) on very, very small VMs, but we have some computationally demanding tests and linters. Deleg

I'd echo Peter's #1 recommendation: > - Allowing actions/setup-go users to specify a cache key prefix so that they can have more than one golang CI job, each with its own cache [...] I'd actually go further: this may

They target different parts of actions/setup-go for optimization: - WillAbides/setup-go-faster speeds up the Go toolchain setup (literally installing Go) - cloudx-io/setup-go uses the slower actions/setup-go toolchain se

I also had fun substantiating the claim "86% of actions/setup-go test runs are unnecessary." We had a general sense things were faster, and we measured impacts immediately after we made changes, but hard to understand long-ru

There are some good off-cuts that didn't make the official post, but which might be of interest to HN! It only gets a brief mention, but the cache-pruning change was an interesting one. Cache accretion happens in the default actions&#x

A practical guide for integrating a custom linter into your Go project, a [light] screed against golangci-lint, and a defense of a simpler Go metalinter I’m experimenting with: glint.

It's a good post, super clearly explained. I have to admit it makes me a little nervous about the future of Go packages — of course interfaces aren't intrinsically bad, but omitting them in early versions of the language discourag

Strongly statically typed languages let you safely refactor in ways that would otherwise be risky. This is my trick for one very common example: lifting an interface out of a concrete type.

I don't understand how this pertains to my comment. Nobody's arguing whether listeners will, as a matter of preference, avoid Google/Apple/Spotify podcast clients. Nobody makes a claim about how many people know of RSS.

This seems like an upstream concern with distribution, no? Nothing in this announcement indicates YouTube Music will attempt to control distribution. YouTube might give exclusive content a try (a la Spotify), but — to your point — that won&

Okay... here's an attempt at optimism. In one respect this consolidation makes more sense than the Play Music → YouTube Music switch: many podcasts cross-post episodes as YouTube videos and audio-only feeds. If YouTube collates tho

Interesting. Did some quick poking around. Looks like the system adds a number of non-printing unicode characters into the string. In this thread title, for example, the textmark is stored in the phrase "mess⁡a⁠g⁣e⁣ ⁣h⁢a⁣s⁣ ⁢a⁣ ⁢h⁠i⁠d⁣

Yep, we agree entirely! And I think most other technical debaters would, too. I don't talk to my friends at high speeds, my favorite speakers speak slowly, and I certainly wouldn't talk like a debater when I'm trying to be my

How do you feel about grindcore? Certainly it has musical and aesthetic merit, historical importance, and it demands talented composers and performers. Additionally, there is lots of other music for folks who don't enjoy it. If popular
