I know this is supposed to be a negative comment, but I don't think this is a bad thing

Some languages do it better, but it's really not a problem. It's just verbose, but people say that about Java and that never stopped it from being used everywhere

You can't terminate goroutines like individual threads, but there's no good reason to anyway. They designed the context system to be able to signal across goroutines and do cleanup that way

Can't relate, I love Go

I'm a big fan of `go fix`, such a nice thing for big projects

Same. Go feels like the language that does everything I like about Java with a lot more control than Java gives

I think you're gonna like it a lot more now. The language has gained a lot of nice things since they added generics

This was one of the times where it made some sense. A lot of their complaints were about GC, which Discord has had issues with in the past on other things. Notably, Discord switched from Cassandra to ScyllaDB for their messages, and cited t

I think it only really happens when companies run into GC problems

If I'm being honest, I actually hate this feature. I like things being obvious, and structs were always something I could rely on being very explicit.

this is hilarious

Funny enough, in one of my projects I created a struct with a string field just to have a distinct type that couldn't accidentally be initialized by typing a string. This update completely messes that up lol

I don't think it ever suggests anything specific to 3rd-party packages

Funny enough, I find myself closer to the conservative Christian upbringing I received as a child than ever before, but I totally agree with him on needing to unlearn some things when it comes to dating. Different world in the past I guess,

I guess I kind of agree with this, but Monero-related stuff is the exception for me.

Not the biggest fan of crypto myself, but allowing LLMs and "AI" stuff with open arms while condemning PoW crypto is hilarious. They should just say they don't like crypto at that point, because LLMs and datacenters for them

Being conservative with technology choices and only using Node LTS has paid dividends lol

You can drop the library into your project as a single file and it'll still work without NPM. You can just copy it straight from GitHub, even.

I did this exact same thing for porting a compiler from one language to another with Codex. I run tests at every step, and verified that bytecode output was byte-for-byte identical. I was very impressed at the results, and this is coming fr

My compiler runs on my computer and produces the same machine code given the same input. Neither of these are true with AI.

ahahahaha so many implications in this comment

My favorite benchmark for LLMs and agents is to have it port a medium-complexity library to another programming language. If it can do that well, it's pretty capable of doing real tasks. So far, I always have to spend a lot of time fix

This isn't an ownership problem, it's a medium problem (and perhaps a legal problem)

It's worth noting that many, if not most, games on Steam don't have DRM. You can often just take the .exe files out of them and play. Sometimes you need a polyfill for Steam's client API, but that's usually it.
