Go is still not good 11 months ago

Java and C# have way to much baggage to compare them to Go. They nearly look like different languages depending on the version you're using.

Does anyone else feel like dayquil is an effective decongestant? I do. I can literally feel the gunk running down from my sinuses to the back of my throat when I take it. Confusing to me cause it's phenylephrine, which is what the article states is ineffective. I've had this experience after reading these reports about a year ago.

disclaimer: I know nothing about this stuff.

This area is separate from the subduction zone

150 miles off the coast doesn't sound that far from the subduction zone. Seems hard to believe there wouldn't be some tectonic relationship between the areas.

note that gofmt doesn't indent, which is the hard part

interesting because for me it's hard to read changelogs of js/ts based repos that are using prettier compared to go repos, I wonder if the indentation is a reason for that. I'm honestly not sure what the author means by that either, gofmt seems to fix indentation for me.

I moved over from Lastpass, I find the experience of filling in a password in Bitwarden more jarring/slow than in Lastpass. I'm not sure what it is, maybe Lastpass had longer timeouts to require FaceID when filling a password? Bitwarden requires it every time.

Awareness at Death 3 years ago

I had the same question. I assume this was to test if the following experience was based on real events, or imagined.

“I was high up in the ceiling of the ward looking down upon the bed.” “I could see the doctors and nurses working over me.” “I perceived and saw everything around me, like in 360 degrees.”

Streaming 1080p/60fps up to 20km wirelessly is mind boggling to me. What kind of tech is used to make that happen? seems like it'd require a lot of power.

Even if this "surgery" took place in California, and the "surgeon" was the UK, and 5G was involved, wouldn't it still via fiber? I feel like I'm missing something with these claims, are they saying they'll use 5g at the nodes, instead of some other wireless tech?

We spin up a docker container running the DB technology we use, run our DB migration scripts on it, and then run integration tests against it. You get coverage of your migration scripts this way too.

I've never seen poop included in the "calories in, calories out" diet talk, which seems strange. The argument for it is it's a 0 sum game, but they never mention poop as part of the equation. There seems to be an assumption that all food is absorbed at the same rate and across all people. Seems unlikely to me.

In your monolith if you offload a request to a queue and have a background process processing the queue messages, what do you call that module processing messages? Is it a component of your monolith? I think a lot of teams would call it a microservice, I could see some people considering it a component of a service.

Unless you're confounding microservices w/ async architectures and saying to drop asynchronous patterns like this all together.

It'd be awesome if it could open a new tab/autocomplete based on history if nothing is found when searching the current tabs. As an example, if I start searching "news" to open up hacker news, and there is no existing tab, then it could autocomplete with "news.ycombinator.com" based on my past browsing history. Chrome essentially has this when you start typing a new url, but I don't think you can click the "switch to this tab" button without using the mouse.
