Golang is sometimes considered a simple language, but it's not really beginner-proof like Java was designed to be. It's a good idea to spend time learning it thoroughly.

Generating the HTML in a container seems like a better solution than ditching the generator altogether.

True, but both of these are for relatively slow operations, where the performance of the error checking is relatively insignificant.

> Here's one of them, which follows a common recommendation in the Go community to use a sentinel error to represent the "value not found" condition. Is this really a common recomm…

Do OpenAI employees actually get equity in the company (e.g. options or RSUs)? I was under the impression that the company awards "profit units" of some kind, and that many employe…

I don't love the $...$ syntax for executing commands. Using $ as a string delimiter is very strange to my bash-accustomed eyes. It's a shame that they provided such weird syntax fo…

Why does everyone need to live in Palo Alto? There's housing elsewhere. If we built more housing in Palo Alto, it wouldn't be such a nice place to live.

It's not clear to me that every site would have to perform age verification themselves. Seems like the "I am a minor" flag could be managed at the client operating system level (e.…

I think it would be better if this was a code generator similar to `protoc` for gRPC, so we don't have to learn yet another implementation language.

You could view the trial-by-Leetcode that people undergo when they switch jobs every 4 years or so as a form of relicensing. One advantage that the current setup has over officiall…

Looks like all the heavy lifting is being done by webllm [0]. What we have here is basically one of the demos from that. [0] https://webllm.mlc.ai/ .

It's truly amazing how quickly my browser loads 0.6GB of data. I remember when downloading a 1MB file involved phoning up a sysop in advance and leaving the modem on all night. We'…

Googler protests in the past have typically been walk-outs and other outdoor gatherings. This protest took place within the offices. Some of the protestors occupied senior executiv…

This seems like a reasonable use of the preprocessor to me. I've seen similar use in high-quality codebases. I wonder why the author is so disgusted by it.

I wonder why they didn't use bazel as their build system.

I worked at Google when the daycare was introduced. At the time, it was so expensive that very few employees could afford to use it. Was that still the case recently?

Great! Love it! Could you add a way to race other people to solve the puzzles?
