People are sometimes unkind to the Division Bell, but it contains one of my personal favorites: "Wearing the inside out". Wright's lyrics and vocals (first time since The Dark Side of the Moon), Gilmore's guitar, it all

What I dislike about the license change is that by trying to extract an extra dollar from Amazon&Google, the entire community gets hurt in the process. Can I "dnf/apt install redis" on my Fedora or Debian install? I canno

They did a reprint of the original magazine from January 1984, to mark its 40 year anniversary. It can still be purchased online at https://prodavnica.pcpress.rs/issue/339/1 , and they ship internationally. I got m

I like the support for custom currencies, as that is an edge case that often pops up. On the other hand, be careful about tying the symbol to the currency, as symbols are locale specific. For example, the symbol for USD is $ in eu-US but US

There is a middle ground and some common patterns that can help. The address field names are fairly standardized[0] and Google has an open dataset (used by Chrome and Android) describing which countries need which fields[1]. I have an older

In retrospective, I think it's obvious that Go's decision to have package and variable names be in the same namespace was a mistake. It is the main reason why people overuse single letter variable names, and have debates such as t

Couldn't agree more. There's a great decade-old blog post by Mathias Verraes which illustrates this well, I keep coming back to it: https://verraes.net/2014/08/dry-is-about-knowledge/

I am going to be controversial for a hot second, and say that in many ways MySQL is a more advanced and better implemented database at its core. Disclaimer: as a developer I love and prefer Postgres. But I've been on many projects wher

This looks like a great effort and I am looking forward to trying it out. I am a bit confused by the choice of the LGPL 3.0 license. It requires one to dynamically link the library to avoid GPL's virality, but in a language like Go tha

It doesn't have the performance or the features of something like Chi/Gin/Echo, so while it will improve the lives of people who prefer to stick to the stdlib, it probably won't convince many others.

Socket activation via systemd[0] is an option, assuming you are fine with certain requests taking a longer time to complete (if they arrive while the service is being restarted). Otherwise using a proxy in front of your app is your best bet

Go isn't perfect either. The author isn't dealing with assets (images anyone?). Go supports embedding assets since 1.16, the author mentions embedfs in the post.

Optional function parameters also deserve a mention. Their absence results in semi-ugly workarounds even in the standard library[1]. [1] https://bojanz.github.io/optional-parameters-go/

OpenBSD does distribute Apache 2 code (e.g. LLVM), but it's true they're not happy about it due to the patent clause. Apple prefers Apache 2 for its own code (LLVM, CUPS, Swift).

I am sure many developers don't remember just how much crappier the "crappier APIs" were. Back when Stripe became popular the alternative was XML and SOAP, documented in an outdated PDF that would get emailed to you, or if yo
