These fake-time environments let you set the time, so you can test how the code will behave in 2039 without waiting for 13 years. For Go's synctest, 1-1-2000 is just the default initial value for now().

But still a kludge. Better: use something equivalent to Go's testing/synctest[0] package, which lets you write tests that run in a bubble where time is fixed and deterministic. [0] https://pkg.go.dev/testing/s

The reason is simple: they'd like to reap all the benefits of a permissive licence (many people and companies won't or can't touch GPL code), without any of the downsides; but these downsides are the very reason behind the ru

Go did exactly that, where Maven's 'Project group identifier' is an URL you control, e.g. github.com/<your-account> but also <your-website>/go-pkg or whatever you want. Other languages did this too. Flat

The real issue here is Rust's flat namespace. In Go, for example, there's no ffmpeg crate, there's github.com/someone/ffmpeg and gitlab.com/someone-else/ffmpeg, and so on. There's no blessed, unique &

64 bit mod is much slower than 32 bit mod. Your C program uses int32_t everywhere, while your Go program uses int (which is probably 64 bit on you machine); so this is not a fair comparison. Changing the Go program to use int32 everywhere m

Agree. And of course it's always something "surface level and uncontroversial", anything else gets you downvoted. Most subreddits (with a few exceptions) are huge echo-chambers.

It uses yt-dlp as the download backend, so it works with anything that yt-dlp handles.

> The worst GUI (none) out of the box. That's funny, for me that's exactly the best GUI out of the box. I actually did some tinkering to reduce the GUI parts even more, and added more keyboard shortcuts.

Of course everything in the "Generic Programming" section is now outdated.

Unrelated to the plugin but wow the is_prime function in the video demonstration is awful. Even if the input is not divisible by 2, it'll still check it modulo 4, 6, 8, ... which is completely useless. It could be made literally 2x fas

> The setting is opt-out, requiring manual intervention. No. If a module's go.mod files declares go1.21, the compiler will use go1.21 semantics when building it, even if 1.22 has already been published and the module is being used f

An allocator that silently does nothing on free if you violate one if its invariants (freeing an allocation that wasn't the latest) seems an incredibly error-prone design? It should probably return an error or panic (if free's API

Neat. I'd have liked to hear more about their custom programming language and its toolchain's implementation.
