I love Rust but honestly the Go way works fine, even if it isn’t as strictly correct as Rust. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a case where a Go function returned neither a value nor an error, or both a value and an error. What I like better ab

There were tests by France and China in 1996, by India and Pakistan in 1998, and by North Korea in 2009, 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2017. We’ve never had a decade without a nuclear test since the 1940s.

I used to carefully clean my mushrooms with a brush to keep them dry so they wouldn’t end up slimy. But someone told me that was a myth and I decided to try just quickly rinsing them instead. Never resulted in slimy mushrooms, and I was sho

A lot of enterprises need to comply with regulations and security standards (e.g. PCI-DSS or SOC2) which often require them to implement systems and processes over their "control environment". They need to demonstrate that they ca

In my experience with Japanese, kanji is more work to learn how to write, but it makes it easier for others to read - not just compared to romaji but even hiragana and katakana. I'm not really sure it's time "wasted". &g
