That's a really good point actually, I hadn't thought directly about this before. I've just evolved a position on it without articulating it directly: I almost never include them in my public APIs, almost never see them in th

What power does React offer you that Vue can't? It'd be quite interesting to hear your take on it.

The 5 -> 7 transition was great from the point of view of someone writing PHP, but it was significantly more painful for extension writers. The only way I could update my stuff was with many hours of careful spelunking through the PHP s

Anecdata alert! The new Opus encoder is incredible. We used the beta of 1.3 in a bandwidth constrained environment recently and found that in our testing (and for our very specific set of audio, YMMV, past performance not indicative of futu

How do you get 100 different IPs trivially and cheaply? I suppose we might have different definitions of cheap; 100 EC2 t3.nanos would be a bit out of my price range, but that might be small change for the next person.

Oneofs, at least with gogoproto, are quite unpleasant to work with. There's a separate intermediate type generated for each member of a oneof field. With the following message: message Foo { oneof bar { Baz ba

This project got a lot of attention when it was first released, but then the original repo went dark. Some community members have decided to take up the mantle and have issued a rallying cry. The new repo is https://github.com&#x

Unobstruct is awesome! On the desktop, Unstick for Firefox gives you a little nuke icon that gets rid of any dickbars anywhere you happen to find them: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/unstickall

Thanks for pointing that out, I've been trying very hard to keep up but somehow missed that detail. Perhaps it should be in the release notes!

Ok, ninja edit, this whole comment was based on a misunderstanding and adds no value to the discussion. I've been corrected below, the rest does not need to be preserved. Downvote it to the bottom for me please; I can't seem to de

Yep! 1024. Good eye! Some tests, like the atomic ones, use an even larger constant (which explains the crazy 355971 nsec/op result for an atomic increment): BenchMarkSize = 1 << 10 // 1024 BenchMarkSizeLon

PHP cops a lot of heat - some deserved, but mostly not - largely based on limitations of previous versions, cosmetic issues like the crummy naming and argument ordering in the stdlib, and good old fashioned out-grouping, but it has had opt

That's your anecdata though, mine's very very different indeed. Many of the places I've worked have either actively fought attempts to get some consistency in place, or have lapsed into total anarchy, even in some cases with

If you're serious about giving this a whirl, uMatrix is even better for fine-grained control. I disable everything except first-party images and CSS by default and it's like a whole new internet. There's a bit of a dance you
