These fake-time environments let you set the time, so you can test how the code will behave in 2039 without waiting for 13 years. For Go's synctest, 1-1-2000 is just the default in…

But still a kludge. Better: use something equivalent to Go's testing/synctest[0] package, which lets you write tests that run in a bubble where time is fixed and deterministic. [0]…

The reason is simple: they'd like to reap all the benefits of a permissive licence (many people and companies won't or can't touch GPL code), without any of the downsides; but thes…

Go did exactly that, where Maven's 'Project group identifier' is an URL you control, e.g. github.com/ but also /go-pkg or whatever you want. Other languages did this too. Flat name…

The real issue here is Rust's flat namespace. In Go, for example, there's no ffmpeg crate, there's github.com/someone/ffmpeg and gitlab.com/someone-else/ffmpeg, and so on. There's …

Looking at the issue their builders seem to be Opterons G3 (K10?)[0] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_10h

64 bit mod is much slower than 32 bit mod. Your C program uses int32_t everywhere, while your Go program uses int (which is probably 64 bit on you machine); so this is not a fair c…

Agree. And of course it's always something "surface level and uncontroversial", anything else gets you downvoted. Most subreddits (with a few exceptions) are huge echo-chambers.

It uses yt-dlp as the download backend, so it works with anything that yt-dlp handles.

> The worst GUI (none) out of the box. That's funny, for me that's exactly the best GUI out of the box. I actually did some tinkering to reduce the GUI parts even more, and added m…

Of course everything in the "Generic Programming" section is now outdated.

> and who was “she”? The structure, probably. In gendered languages objects have a grammatical gender, and "structure" is feminine in at least French, Italian, and Spanish (they al…

Unrelated to the plugin but wow the is_prime function in the video demonstration is awful. Even if the input is not divisible by 2, it'll still check it modulo 4, 6, 8, ... which i…

> The setting is opt-out, requiring manual intervention. No. If a module's go.mod files declares go1.21, the compiler will use go1.21 semantics when building it, even if 1.22 has a…

An allocator that silently does nothing on free if you violate one if its invariants (freeing an allocation that wasn't the latest) seems an incredibly error-prone design? It shoul…

Neat. I'd have liked to hear more about their custom programming language and its toolchain's implementation.

He probably ran ls on /usr/local/go (it's 477MB on my machine). But that's the size of the entire Go download after unarchiving, which includes the runtime's and all the standard l…
