That's not what I found in my own experiments, I still had to unmarshal once inside the callback to get the `type` field out, then again once I knew what the type was. Do you have …

IME this is a longstanding pain point with Go. There's an attempt to propose an encoding/json/v2 package [1] being kicked around at the moment [2], spawned from a discussion [3]. T…

Such an instrument is the turbo encabulator.

> I would've probably picked the modernc variation Heads up about the modernc library, it has been stuck on an old version of sqlite for several months [1]. It seems like maintaine…

I love this visualisation. Is the script to generate it publicly available?

Since PEP 591 [1], if using mypy with Python 3.8+ or the typing_extensions module, you can also take advantage of typing.Final, which lets you statically verify something isn't cha…

There are fragments of discussion about the download timeout throughout the issue tracker, which end up leading back to this still-open but seemingly forgotten issue about adding I…

I think it could be the same but it doesn't have to be. "What problem does this solve" is a bit more generous as at least, on the face of it, it may offer an opportunity to provide…

There's also the "That Won't Work" person's sibling: the "I Don't See a Use Case" person. In my experience, "I Don't See a Use Case" people require more sophisticated tactics if yo…

Here's another fun one: https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/issues/2434 > Git on Windows client corrupts files > 4Gb It's apparently an upstream issue with Git on Windows, but if yo…

I really didn't enjoy the game with the biters turned on, but absolutely loved it when I switched to peaceful mode. There are enough problems to sort out without them, like "why do…

iTerm2 is fantastic! It can be a bit CPU hungry but you get a stack of mod cons out of the bargain. There are tons of proprietary escape codes, not least of all the incredibly usef…

Indeed! Even the Go wiki advocates exactly what you're saying about looking at the tradeoffs: https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/MutexOrChannel

I find it kinda strange that Flow has been relegated to the write-in "Other Flavours" section so soon. I know that it has been trending downwards for a while (as TypeScript trends …

Which bits of telemetry can't be opted out of? I've set at least a hundred things in my about:config to tamp down on it but I'm never quite sure I've got all of them.

The author of this post is also the author of the fantastic "Visualizing Concurrency in Go" [1] article. [1]: https://divan.dev/posts/go_concurrency_visualize/

The file is liberally annotated with explanatory comments though. It's really useful if you want to cherry-pick the things that matter to you.

Also, things might get a bit weird when you enter this 16-digit... uhh... "invoice number": 9007199254740992.

It's not really fixed though. When using vim-go with gopls, I see extortionate memory and CPU usage relative to what gocode used to use, and glacial lookup times compared to what g…

Which is, of course, totally unacceptable. This is a critical use case for doing deep-dive debugging or for code exploration. Fortunately for us there is the wonderfully named "goh…

Jonathan Swift in 1710: "Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effe…

... which is a form of questioning why it's present. "Attempting to change it" in this situation is more like "submitting the pull request[1]" than "editing the code". The PR tends…

It could just be that the devs on a team don't know how to use those tools yet. Having to learn how to use TypeScript effectively while establishing the patterns that underpin a ne…
