Nice! That’s definitely a good practice :). I’ve tried to make the kgo package easier to use, but I think some libraries suffer from over abstracting the underlying protocol, which…

I spent quite some time writing github.com/twmb/franz-go due to wanting more from both Sarama and from Segment’s library. Pure Go as well. I’d recommend evaluating it as an alterna…

Thanks! It isn't yet integrated with the schema registry, but I think doing so would be a fairly straightforward task. My primary goal before this "Show HN" was 2.6.0 feature compl…

As a recent Brave convert, I was skeptical of Brave for the same reason. I switched to it from Firefox (after switching months ago from Chrome) due to Firefox being slow, tabs repe…

This is a decent reminder blog post about something that is obvious on the surface, but subtle when you forget to think about it and make a mistake. I've found that thinking of a l…

I think it is fair, but I can imagine a scenario where a person reads a line and thinks "this is obviously leftist". Personally, I think company's have been bending over backwards …

I caution against latching onto the title and making assumptions. The bulk of the content is analyzing where the current censorship position came from and the conclusion is for Goo…

Try the Basic HTML view linked at the bottom of https://support.google.com/mail/answer/15049 . It's is web 1.0, but it sticks, and it is fast.

Wouldn't drawing attention to bannable offenses be Streisand effect-y?

I think it goes to the rich through systemic imbalance in companies and personal greed of those at the top. Wages should rise. I don't mean that people should work hard until they …

Agreed, I think that in health cases, there can't be an expectation for people to work. In a better world, our society as a whole would have better end of life support for when peo…

What is lost in the discussion of retirement ages being bumped is that life expectancy has grown by two decades since the retirement age was introduced in the USA in 1935 [0][1][2]…

It is easy to think that everybody can carve out even a small 5-10m for exercise, but that thought fails to consider people that have had or do have chronic pain or serious injurie…

Intelligence agencies generally avoid saying exactly why they suggest something and how they came to that conclusion. If agencies were fully open, adversaries would know what holes…

From the second post, > Alternatively, awk '{print $2}' netflix.tsv would have given us the same result. For this tutorial, I use cat to visually separate the input data from the A…

Also, my numbering got a little off because it's late, and I can't edit. Looks funnier this way.

Taxes are not very high in the US. We have about 26.9% total tax revenue (which I will abbreviate TTR. TTR is measured as a percentage of GDP)[0][1]. I hate seeing this statement t…
