This isn't new? You can see it's used by _a lot_ of linters already: https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/tools/go/analysis?tab=import...

This post touches on a realisation I made a while ago, just how far you can get with the guarantees and trade-offs of object storage. What actually _needs_ to be in the database? I…

UK citizen and 23andMe customer here. How likely is the sale of UK/EU customer data, or is it worth submitting a GDPR deletion request anyway? Get my data deleted before it's sold.…

Not sure what questions Microsoft have to answer. A third-party vendor shipped defective software. I guess the only question they could answer is why they don't provide a framework…
