IntelliJ added worktree “support” but it’s really just a way to create a new project. I suspect it’ll take a while before we see a shared configuration across worktrees because the .idea folder contains mutable state. https://www

I was confused. The title is bad. “its” is ambiguous and usually refers to the first subject in this sentence structure.

govulncheck analyzes symbol usage and only warns if your code reaches the affected symbol(s). I’m not sure about cargo audit specifically, but most other security advisories are package scoped and will warn if your code transitively referen

Weight loss in Ranger School is additionally “aided” by limiting students to 2 MREs per patrol day (2400 calories) to increase stress. Anecdotally, I lost 26 lbs in Ranger School.

Why not use the standard-library adjacent semaphore package? One problem with using a channel as a semaphore is you need to track if you've closed the channel when "releasing". https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org&#x
