Data point of one, but I've been using Go since 2012 and would drop it instantly if any of the backwards compatibility guarantees were relaxed. Having bugs imposed on you from outside your project is a waste of time to deal with and th

There's no reason at all why you can't also organise code into components under this model. Orthogonal concepts

I keep hearing anecdotes like this and truly want to give Emacs a shot. Do you use it exclusively on a PC? My big blocker is that a significant portion of my time is on a phone rather than a computer these days and I have to think that all

I haven't used mssql since ~2013 but I think you're right that it's not available there. Works great in MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite though.

They call it a fixed size array type but, yes. It was added earlier this year. Works really great https://duckdb.org/2024/05/03/vector-similarity-search-vss.h...

Have you given sqlx a try? Manual query writing like database/SQL but convenience wrapper functions that handle the row scanning part for you. I haven't felt the need to use anything else for years now.

It's bad at directly working on classical computer problems like math and data processing. But you can do it indirectly by having it write a program that produces the correct result. Interestingly, I didn't even have to have it ru

This is excellent as well. I don't really jive with the Collapsnik aspect but I absolutely love powerful systems that can run in constrained environments. Thanks for sharing, I'll be diving into this for a while

The important bit is figuring out if those times where "the right way" would have helped outweigh the time saved by defaulting to "good enough". There are always exceptions, but there's typically order of magnitude

You can see the evolution of the article in the PR on GitHub. Seems genuine.

Having to deploy a dedicated server unit to render your frontend is a lot of additional complexity for zero benefit when you still require an API server to actually drive everything. Have your API server render the HTML itself and your enti

Strictly speaking, buttons aren't typically hypermedia controls. Haven't read the paper yet but the only controls in HTML are links and forms. Buttons can be nested inside those as actuators but aren't controls unto themselve

Been writing Go since 2012 and consider the status quo on all of these to be _features_. I may be in the minority there though

FWIW a lot of those packages with default context wrapper functions have that as a backwards compatibility measure for code written before the context package existed. It's almost always preferable to call the newer function with your

This seemed an odd question until I noticed the logo. Now my brain hurts.
