Ah, a God error package that has all seeing knowledge of the domain around it. What a monstrosity.

Just curious. They have Google listed as user. Why would a company like that be interested given that they’ve already any world class db in-house along with the expertise?

Exactly my thoughts reading the ToC. One exception would come to my mind though: Rust would seem a very reasonable language choice to me to write malware. E.g., the next Stuxnet. Low level enough, plus the language safety to help staying un

My few tiny steps in JS world were alienating in that sense: having a brand new install of all tools, doing a “npx create-react-app” and got greeted with “congrats, your app is initialised, it has 13 vulnerable dependencies”.

As the article also mentions: instead of checking if your program has a dependency on something that contains vulnerabilities, govulncheck checks if vulnerable code is actually reached. I find that so awesome. (And I know, someone is going

This article merely relays what ByteDance says, so it’s nothing but PR, unrelated to journalism. No idea what it’s doing on bbc.com.

Can someone tell me what’s going on here? This very post including the comments appeared on HN two days as well. I thought I was getting crazy but Google confirms.

I think it would be challenging to come up with a more ambiguous name.

The remark about reflection for the Go implementation surprised me. I always treated the generated code as a black box, but occasionally saw their diffs, and assumed the byte blobs to be for clever generated marshalling. If not, what are th

Since rsc frequents HN: I’d like to thank you for all the work you’ve put into this great language. Peak HN hype cycle I decided to pick up Go and never regretted it. Thank you.

Ah, I remember 2017’s HN where the mere word “Go” in the title made posts skyrocket to 498 points. In 2024 the title should’ve contained “Rust” for the same outcome. Quite curious what will be required in 2031.

This briefly mentions something I’ve seen during work and never dared to explore: the various public (RDS) snapshots. Oh boy, some people either use very realistic test datasets or they accidentally made things public that shouldn’t be at a

If you never encountered this you never created your own ResponseWriter, or you did it and inadvertently broke its Flushing, Pushing and Hijacking capabilities. It’s not more complicated than this.

Note that this is not necessarily a great thing to overuse. Also note that the article is 10 years old. Relying on such upgrades sort of introduces a dark and fuzzy part of the API. Go’s http pkg is a notorious one, with how a http.Response

As a Dutchman the endless list of apparent “Dutch” things never ceases to surprise me. Uncles, courage, ovens, double, going, etc., and a new one to my list: rolls. And none of them means any good.

As often I’m impressed by the quality of all of this. The amount of thinking that went into this, this excellent written blog post. I love the Go blog.

I recently implemented this, great write-up. Regarding the hashing function, I’m curious about opinions. In my implementation I went for a cheap but weak cryptographic hash at first. Then I got worried that some auditor would flag it and ti

This made me think back of the days of +Orc [1]. I believe a lot of knowledge common back then, like how to find and nop out an undesired branch, has been lost. Which is fair, there’s way more other tech to learn nowadays. [1]: https:&#x2F

Thanks for saying this out loud. I’m a solo dev and in my project I’m doing exactly this: 90% black box integration tests and 10% unit tests for edge cases I cannot trigger otherwise. It buys me precious time to not adjust tests after refac

From building a rigid body physics engine decades ago I remember that stacking was a very hard problem. The best solution at the time to avoid objects sinking into the ground was to create a directed acyclic graph, starting with the ground
