I agree it’s weird, but it’s protecting against this scenario: BBC: “government bad” Government: “hey everyone here’s a tax reduction! 50% less TV tax! (Oh and 50% less money for you, BBC)” Realistically the board has influence, but money i

Sorry! I didn’t mean to throw shade on your work. What I mean is that being able to turn a key in a car ignition doesn’t make one a car mechanic.

Yeah, a long, enclosed space with no exits is more amenable to drunken violence than petty theft.

Laptops get stolen on a train? An enclosed, single-direction space that only occasionally allows you to exit between infrequent, long-distance stops? A thing that contains ticket inspectors and a literal guard? How many laptops have you per

Do you live in a third world country? If so I might agree, but otherwise trains are perfectly safe.

Can I use that on the train though? I can with a 128GB MacBook, without it sounding like a helicopter taking off as well.

They’ve always had that ability and mission, since conception. This isn’t something they’ve been “supercharged” with. The article you’re reading is saying that it’s possible that existing mission has been co-opted.

Terrible take. Take a guess at what “dark:bg-gray-950”, “bg-white” or “min-h-screen” means. You get them from context. Imagine if you put a little bit of effort into learning Tailwind. You’d get the more complex declarations as well. As to

It may well use 32KB buffers, or any size, but that doesn’t translate to “reading 32KB at a time”. If you’re aborting specifically an io.Copy, then there are better ways to do that: abort in the write path rather than the read path. It’s no

No worries, this help also generalises to any time you want to add locking/synchronisation or other overheads to a hot code path. It’s best not to acquire a mutex and launch a goroutine to read 3 bytes of data at a time. Also, hot tip:

A mutex in a hot Read (or any IO) path isn’t efficient.
