Are there performance worries about passing around two pointers for anything that needs to allocate, as well as storing these pointers in a struct? AFAICT this basically means two registers are eaten, and a lot of types have effectively 16

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 ultimately locks them out of some higher efficiency code or

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 alternative, even to confluent-kafka-go due to comprehens

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 completeness. I'll look into integrating with

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 repeatedly crashing, UX disharmony, and the recent cert addon de

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 lock as something you don't want to hold goes a lon

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 to prove they aren't biasing against the

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 Google to be more open with their stance and also be more equal

On HN, I mostly see it in replies. Then again, I don't click on all comment sections; maybe I naturally have been avoiding the articles that elicit those comments. Generally, I expect comment sections that immediately devolve into poli

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 die; people should be able to enjoy their lives while w

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 people are of ill health. But, not everybody's mind s

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]. The retirement age was originally past the point where mos

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 injuries. It is incredibly hard to go from zero to minimal exercise

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 _they_ need to plug.

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 thrown out as if it is fact. We have very low taxes comparati

I cannot agree more. I was going to respond to the post that the best thing that can happen is being told that you can do all of that. Once you realize that you can investigate whatever you want, the world opens up for exploration.

I'm wondering if partnering with Netflix and taking the potential flak from TV would be worth it. I don't see the reason for HBO to have HBO Go other than the tie in with TV companies. Would it be more profitable to pair up with Netflix or

The problem is when they don't use this to track drug networks and murder crimes and instead use it to lock up peaceful Occupy Wall Street protesters, or other political dissidents.
