Is't this basically what happened with Destiny 2 channels earlier this year? Someone faked DMCA claims from Bungie across a wide swathe of Destiny 2 channels, possibly as retribution for having "music archiving" (which probab

There are probably WebAssembly-specific things I am unaware of. So, the following is a general "TCO" discussion. I normally consider TCO something that is a compiler feature. Replace a call to the head of yourself, with a jump (po

If a few bash scripts is enough for you to manage your servers, you probably don't need puppet (or ansible, or chef). But, yes, I agree that the puppet documentation is (or at least was, I have not looked at it for several years) not e

I have, on occasion, used a similar pattern, but instead of sending something, I simply close the channel (usually with a "defer close(c)" at the beginning of the function/closure that encompasses the main code of the gorouti

And hard-coding terminal escape codes intrinsically tie you to a VT102-derivative (because no one would hard-code VT-52 terminal codes) and that'd stop (say) my HP terminal from working. Sure, going with VT102-family codes probably cov

If this is the first time, at the same company, it (probably) does not matter, that much. When I was an interviewer for a (second) technical phone interview at Google, one candidate performed pretty bad at one question. Later that week, or

This is, roughly, what "go install" does: It will copy a binary to $GOBIN. If the binary is not built, it will be built from source. If the source is not available on the local system, it will be fetched. During the build, any dep

As someone who wrte a partial implementation of elisp in Common Lisp, at one point in time... Yes, elisp is in many ways closer to CL than it is to Scheme. But, it is not very close to CL, once you start looking at the details.

Yes, as I said, if you use a map[T]bool, you need to use something like: for k, v := range m { if v { } } But it also allows you to use "if m[key] { ... }". It is literally a trade-off for what convenience you want. And in

How? Why? If you use the map[T]bool, you obviously need to pay attention to the bool value, even in a range. Whereas in map[T]struct{} you don't need to pay attention to the values. In either way, even with that type of data type under

I would say that "exists in the set" is determined only and exactly by "mySet[thing]" returning true, not that there happens to be a key in the map. But, that's one of those "requires extensive documentation&qu

There is a slight difference between the two. With a map[†]bool, you can do something like: if myset[thing] { ... } With a map[T]struct(), you end up with: if _, ok := myset[thing]; ok { ... } Sometimes, the saving in space is TOTALLY worth

Ethereum has had "proof of stake" as a goal for multiple years, with no obvious evidence that it is any closer to implemented today than it was 3 years ago. I will believe Ethereum to be proof of stake when I see it.

This is one of those "it depends" things. As usual, it's good to build an intuition for what you expect. But it is also worthwhile benchmarking it now and again. At a previous job, we were pushing against going to "netwo

And bash is really painful once you're trying to do clever things with structured data. Excellent glue, but there's also a skill in knowing when you should port your increasingly complicated shell script to another language.

Off the top of my head, I don't know. It MAY be related to the fact that 6*3 is 216, but I don't have deep enough statistics knowledge to say for sure. You coudl try it again with 3 8-sided dice and rolling 24, that should give yo
