Happy ‘flying ant day’ to all those who celebrate, personally I stopped after I learnt it was just invented by Hallmark as a ploy to sell more cards.

Avoiding naming Go packages after common nouns like <code>rate</code> or <code>server</code> so that they don&rsquo;t clash with variable names, and how to find a more fitting name for them instead.

Today, came across a Go package literally named "event". Such bland naming doesn't just hurt users, it hurts the package because being hard to google makes it less likely to be adopted. Ultra-generic naming isn't cool. It's just bad. For the love of god: https://brandur.org/fragments/go-no-common-nouns

If you, a business, are reliant on an open source project to function it is YOUR responsibility to assess and ensure the health of that project by either contributing to it yourself or by using an alternative if project health cannot be guaranteed.

I love this and I’m stoked about this, but I feel for OSS communities that don’t have the outsized impact and leverage of CNCF. This wouldn’t have happened to anyone else, I suspect [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I have never passed a single LeetCode-type interview. Because I didn't ever have to use this skill professionally & consider it ridiculous in the first place. That said, I have this interview today & I didn't have enough time to prepare. Yolo 🤪 Failing is still practice!

A few years ago, I quietly adopted a small principle that has changed how I think about publishing on my website. It's a principle I've been practicing for a while now, though I don't think I've ever …

Just finished mastering episode 24 of @fallthrough.fm, which is actually our 25th episode since our first was episode 0. For one, I’m amazed that we’ve been able to not only ship 25 episodes, but also do so every week (on the same weekday with a couple exceptions).

I wonder how many people at #nokings protests today didn't show up at the polls last year If you want democracy, you have to vote

Please answer the question again. I should remind you, you are under OAuth.

They're called "no tyrants" protests in Commonwealth nations 🫠.

Odin learned how to dig today. Also his name is now “Odin Bartholomew Cornelius, god of thunder roasted marshmallow Nash”

For me, the defining characteristic of open source is that you’re giving up control over your code. You can choose how much to give up, based on the license, but you pretty much always end up with …

24 hours since surgery. - Read half of Asynchronous Programming in Rust. - Made progress on a personal project. - Minor dotfiles updates. - Drank 2 liquid meals. Thanks Rain for the advice! Is this what it's like to have no responsibilities?

why is the president the only person testing the limits of his power? everyone should see what they can get away with. what if zookeepers gave helicopters to gorillas? nobody has tried this

Attached: 1 image I had to stop for a few seconds while scanning #golang's http package from the stdlib and finding a function called "isLitOrSingle". I don't think it uses "lit" or "single" to mean how I first imagined though.

The pitch of modern SaaS is "don't reinvent the wheel." But every wheel you bolt on comes with some friction.

Elon threatening to just leave people on the ISS is making a pretty good case for why you nationalize your space program!

We need to start recognizing that tech companies maneuver through the world the way they do because they believe they can outlast the paradigm of national governments and are positioning themselves as the power structure of a post-governmental world.

you can't just talk about putting people in dog crates dude everyone will get horny

It’s the happiest day of Elon Musk’s life because he finally posted something people actually want to read

Well, I implemented a Merkle PATRICIA Trie in SQLite. No, not on top of SQLite. In SQLite. WITH RECURSIVE plus WITHOUT ROWID plus a small app-defined function. Might be time to stop. (This is for a very cool verifiable transparency log indexing thing.)

it’s funny that they’re both on their own personal websites posting their little posts
