>Understand before you criticize >One off the top of my head that I run into all the time is in client stubs of service APIs, where a client-side enum representing a string value w…

when I stated my argument I was accused of being ad hominem, making sarcastic, content-free snarks on barely related HN posts, arguing against enums is as stupid as arguing for nul…

I am being downvoted without a single counter argument, typical HN

I didn't mean the C example to be applied in C compilers, I meant having the first example in Golang itself, enums are not just constants, they are type safe constants, you can't j…

It's hard to argue with someone who sees these 2 examples are the SAME thing, if you really see the 2nd example is equivalent in _SAFETY_ and readability as the first one, you prob…

Still waiting for the support enums before seeing my first grandchild, I understand it's a very disruptive feature that may take tens of MIT PhD. graduates and hundreds of millions…

that wasn't even the point of my comment, you're insisting on derailing my argument and reducing it to something I cannot verify, and seriosuly, wtf do you think HN users are? hous…

HTTP3 is exciting, I got a couple of questions: 1. is QUIC only for HTTP3 or can be generalized for any TCP-based L7 protocol but over TLS/UDP? 2. How is Websockets dealt with in H…

kinda funny that UAE and Saudi Arabia have always had blatant human rights abuses including funding terrorism in places like Syria but nobody raise a brow until they isolated Qatar…

in an era where the internet is controlled by a handful of internet monopoly businesses and where any fun can easily be seen as offense by someone somewhere, then fun has to disapp…

DDG has the most aggressive and adversarial marketing by an internet company I've ever seen that's only matched in intensity by Brave browser's company. Is Gabriel trying to sell b…

it's really really hard to rank post 2014 era just because you want it to work. The internet is a big-boys-only club now. Things were easy 10 years ago and those who benefited from…

how many times should you put your project as a SHOW HN post?
