As of June last year[1] the Go team have pretty much drawn a line under this issue, with a very small amount of wiggle room to possibly reopen it at some point: "For the foreseeabl…

I don't know. My knowledge is largely based on the caption of that photo :D I would guess it's just uniform world record pace, and it's up to the runner to use their own strategy -…

Yep, they have that as well. You can see it in the photo here: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2026/jul/18/josh-kerr-make...

I'd get rid of the animated emotes, they're a bit obnoxious. They pop up right over the part of the screen you're trying to read and don't add any value.

I was surprised not to see Sensible Soccer here, it was massive in the 90's (at least in the UK). Turns out it was never released as an arcade cabinet. I think they missed a trick …

Disagree on that vibe. The museums are usually free in London, for example. Haven't seen that in many other cities.

As you have it there, "but" would mean the latter is an unfortunate consequence or side-effect of the former, and you're getting both. Whereas "than" would mean you're getting the …

(Assuming you meant "than" rather than "but") You could argue the opposite, it's social media that's creating a society of adults wearing mental diapers. This article is excellent:…

FYI you can also play it in the browser, although it's the DOS version: https://playclassic.games/games/simulation-dos-games-online/...

Minor point, but one of the complaints is a bit odd: > curl -X POST https://backboard.railway.app/graphql/v2 \ -H "Authorization: Bearer [token]" \ -d '{"query":"mutation { volumeD…

The GitHub repo also seems to be archived.

It depends on your plan, but Google[1] and Anthropic[2] at least provide indemnity against this. Haven't checked the others. Still not a situation you want to find yourself in, tho…

This looks interesting! As a Go user I definitely see the value in boring but predictable languages. Does Rox have any support for concurrency?

I don't know about worse, but I think the situations are very similar. It's inaccurate to think the Luddites just hated technological advancement for the sake of it. They were happ…

That does the Luddites a bit of a disservice: > But the Luddites themselves “were totally fine with machines,” says Kevin Binfield, editor of the 2004 collection Writings of the Lu…

I agree that trying to produce this sort of spec for the entire project is probably a fool's errand, but I still see the value for critical components of the system. Formally verif…

I've been thinking about trying an alternative JSON library, but interested to hear opinions on whether jsoniter is still recommended. There are 208 open issues on the repo, and a …

Corporate, yes. But why do you think the OP is specifically targeting America?

A Philosophy of Software Design by John Ousterhout is often recommended, and is very good. There was an interesting debate between John and Uncle Bob on their differences in style …

That first example is an unintended closure, since the err at the top level actually has nothing to do with the errs in the goroutines. I have seen that sometimes, although the use…

That seems like quite a high bar, to the extent that I'm not sure we could ever credit anyone with creating a pop song if it applies. Everyone seems comfortable crediting Lennon an…

> The most common refrain is that popstars often write their music. This is misleading: they write the lyrics, suggest a general vibe, and some rough melodies or chords. And even t…

You picked the sample, not me. Those categories are taken directly from the YouGov poll that you linked. I took the four categories where "Are members of the ruling class" scored h…
