I can’t remember the last time I or anyone else I know typed a CSV file out. It’s almost universally the lowest common denominator interchange format.

CSV is bad. Furthermore it’s unnecessary. ASCII has field and record separator characters that were for this purpose.

I’ve got it on my Amiga 500 with Vampire 500 accelerator (so-called 68080 MMX). Pretty sure that’s nearly the fastest native 68k Mac, even if it’s an FPGA.

In many countries, the theft of trade secrets is a serious crime. In the US, for example, it carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison and a $5M fine. It’s unclear to me why this is a civil suit. It may have to do with the alleged activ

I’m not missing that point at all. I’m 100% on board.

Yes, exactly. Read what I was responding to.

I know this particular problem space well. AI is a reasonable solution. WHOIS records are intentionally made to be human readable and not be machine parseable without huge effort because so many people were scraping them. So the same regist

This has happened a few times, even in my career. I doubt we'll break that cycle in the near term. We're going on 50 years where tech was like this. Any time you have an industry can go from zero to world player in a decade or le

Yes. Did you read what I wrote?

Except when they don’t. I’m debugging something right now that runs fine under debugging conditions and crashes with a segfault in real life. It’s not randomized memory (messed with that), it’s likely some race where the timing is changed b

Maybe early return isn’t allowed in that language, but it sure would make that a heck of a lot easier to read.

I’m personally not interested in a mishmash laptop-tablet thing. You end up with a thing that is either good at one and not the other or a thing that is bad at both.

I used to work in this world, too. What is described here about EKS/K8s sounds tricky but it is actually pretty simple and quite a lot more standardized than what we all used to do. You have two health checks and using those, the app h

Yeah, exactly. We just catch the TERM, clean up, and then shut down. But the rest of the top post in the thread is right on.

Example: https://pkg.go.dev/image This library (and some 3rd parties) have a lot of implementations of image types. But without any inheritence or interface declaration on their part I can make something that will do image

It happens all the time because e.g. third party developers follow the same patterns in the standard lib. And it was designed that way. Another example: logging libs are frequently quite similar. Even though the stdlib didn’t define that i

I think you’re making a joke, but in Go you get both. You can have the compiler enforce that you implement an interface with a simple declaration. Most people do.

by relistan 2y ago
One of the main uses for interfaces in Go is defining the contact for _your_ dependencies. Rather than saying your function takes a socket, if you only ever call Write(), you can take a Writer, or define another interface that is only the s

It’s not satire, it’s how you do full OO in plain C.

I used both at the time. I think you are overstating the difference. There wasn't as much full-on JS on the web and for all the things people normally did, FF did not struggle at all. If Chrome had been aimed primarily at IE, they coul

You have to think about how Google abandoned Firefox, which at the time was quite good, in order to build their own browser. It was always about control and owning the data. They fund their business with advertising spread all over the inte

The ship is wood and his system required large amounts of copper, including sheeting covering what I understand to be a fairly large part of the hull. I imagine the fitting process was also not inexpensive given that.

That was what stood out to me, too. 1/8 of the entire navy destroyed by lightning in a five year period.

People seem to be misinterpreting the above post. I was referring to the UK giving Apple a great marketing opportunity for their privacy stance.

by relistan 2y ago
I don’t know, but it feels like the UK gave them the softest pitch, straight over the plate, and all they had to do was hit it. (Maybe a cricket metaphor would have been better)

I don’t think that’s what it is. As I read this analysis, they want to have large private family firms and not large public firms. They also want a government that gets out of those firms’ way. That’s leaves no public accountability of any

In 1998 I somehow got my hands on a DEC OEM 21164 533mhz board for cheap. PCs were nowhere near the performance of that at the time. It mounted in a regular PC case. A friend helped me get the power supply working (there was I think one wir

There are various kinds of news articles. This is what’s known as a feature article: in depth coverage of a particular topic. Those topics are not usually the daily headline stories and are not read-it-today urgent. If you don’t want to re
