I find it incredibly hard to understand anything in TOML that is more than simple, unnested key-value pairs. If you get into arrays, maps etc. then TOML is a nightmare to read. The "O" in TOML is not deserved in my opinion.

Citation needed. Germans do not quit working for 2 weeks in the summer. Where did you get that from? What German companies shut down for 2 weeks in the summer of 2019?

A lot of this seems to hinge on "go get" being the best way to get Go source code. Most discussions I've read so far come down to "well, this might be cool, but it would break go get, so we cannot ever do it". I for

We are using Caddy as a simple reverse proxy in Docker environments. The configuration is a bit simpler than nginx and we love the tiny Docker images we can create (not sure how large an nginx-full installation is). That being said, we did

I have been running my own instance of Tiny Tiny RSS (with ~30 feeds) for years and couldn't be happier. Migrated from Feedly because of their usability and annoying upgrade reminders.

"Everything is a key-value pair" is flat out wrong[1,2]: There are four key-value tables (commentmeta, postmeta, termmeta and usermeta), but most of the meat of Wordpress is stored in regular tables. [1] https://github.

Is there a way to get this as a precompiled Windows binary? I really want to give this a try, but I'm just sooo lazy and don't want to install OPAM if there's maybe a way around that.
