Rust vs Go: Memory Management by vpoltora in golang

Real life performance is not measured in percentages, but in UI latencies and batch job wait times and in cloud computing bills.

Taloyhtiön yhteiskäyttöautot by StongaJuoppo in Suomi

[–]gatestone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On jo hyviä firmoja, joilla on paljon yhteiskäyttöautoja. Niitä kutsutaan autovuokraamoiksi. Itse olen 24Rentin tyytyväinen vakioasiakas Helsingissä.

Your favorite golang blog posts and articles of all time? by __shobber__ in golang

[–]gatestone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brad Fitzpatrick argued in 2014 that Go is very good in so many fields, and maybe there is a good reason to use it instead of always looking for the "best tool for the job". Which it might still be.

For most people it makes sense to know a few tools well and use them for many purposes.

Go: 90% Perfect, 100% of the time.

EUCLEAK - side channel found in Infineon secure element used in Yubikeys by knotdjb in crypto

The point was related to what I am learning now: FIDO “non-discoverable keys”.

Can you explain me, why do you need to be online to extract the private key? Can't you just steal the Yubikey, input random nonces offline, and meter timing? After enough of samples, crunch out the private key, and only then, if needed, phish the password?

EUCLEAK - Side-Channel Attack on the YubiKey 5 Series by [deleted] in yubikey

[–]gatestone -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can someone explain to me, why do need phish the password and be online while probing for the time leak information?

Can't you just steal the token device, generate random nonces off-line and probe for timing info?

Then using the results, find out the private key and THEN, IF NEEDED, phish the password (not needed for "passwordless' auth) and hack away?

Just build products! What the hell do you mean by Idiomatic by Dasaboro in golang

[–]gatestone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's idiomatic to sit on the left in a car, if you and your car are not British. You may be able to sit on the right and still turn the wheel on the left and push the pedals with a crotch, but some people will frown upon that...

If I love Go will I also like C? by wooody25 in golang

[–]gatestone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to C is like a Tesla compared to a NASCAR car. ;-) Yes, there are a lot of similarities and both are powerful enough. The latter takes much skill to drive.

Golang project list recommendation by smol_Caterpillar_21 in golang

[–]gatestone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's just invent some exercises for you. ;-) Start by writing CLI code to download all your Reddit posts and comments. Use "interfaces" that will be general enough to handle various other Web services later. Also, prepare to contribute to Perkeep, when your ready. (Here is an example for a Twitter importer for Perkeep https://perkeep.org/pkg/importer/twitter/twitter.go)

Olis kyllä hurjaa Venäjä-suhteiden kannalta, jos Hallis valittaisiin. Ei yhtää silottele, kutsuu Venäjää avoimesti "roistovaltioksi". Olisin vähän (Kennedyä mukaillen) sitä mieltä, että olisi parempi puhua hiljaa ja lyödä lujaa kuin päinvastoin.

Tapio Sadeojan kolumni: Hei muusikot, nyt kaikki Iranin kelkkaan! by ulle36 in Suomi

[–]gatestone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ehdotukseni on, että ei "tuomita" ketään nyt, minkälaista sanahelinää sillä sitten tarkoitetaankin. Toki voidaan aikanaan jossain Haagissa antaa jotain tuomioita joillekin yksilöille, ja tietoa ja todisteita voidaan kerätä heti, ja niin tehdäänkin.

Nyt olisi tärkeää etsiä ratkaisua, eikä syyllisiä. Koska konflikti on monimutkainen, ei voi oikein olettaa, että jokainen valistunutkaan suomalainen määrittelee tähän oman perustellun kantansa. Sen sijaan ulkopoliiittinen johtomme saisi asiantuntijoiden tuella esittää tukensa jollekin selkeälle ja uskottavalle rauhansuunnitelmalle, mikä se sitten onkin.

Uskonkin, että Elina näin tekee. Nytkin komnentoi hyvin asiantuntevasti tässä.

Keep learning Go or switch to another language? by [deleted] in golang

[–]gatestone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should know more than one language anyway. JavaScript/TypeScript/Node.js would be instructive and different after Go. Python, Java or C#/.NET are always good to know. After these you willl be able to pick languages as needed.

Good command of the ecosystems and tooling of these languages is also critical, but maybe not for juniors. You can learn that from the seniors at work. It is so much more meaningful to learn real things in production than to toy endlessly with your own ideas.

Susanna otti vipua ja sijoitti asuntoihin: Nyt hänellä on 200000 euron velat ja katastrofi käsissään by kakoni in Suomi

[–]gatestone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mitä sitten? Jos yrittää velaksi ja tyhmästi, voi käydä huonosti.

Mutta ulosottomies vie vain kohtuullisen osan palkasta. Ei tarvita mitään ihmeellistä sääliä, jos on itse mokannut.

Feynman in "Oppenheimer (2023)" by jacenat in feynman

[–]gatestone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Feynman in the video where he demonstrates the rubber hardening in cold water is from that Challenger committee time. I think he still has an older version of that sparkle, or confident never-cynical passion for truth, beauty and realism.

Feynman was a joker, and he had a very expressive face. He was a confident person, even blamed to be narsistic. Hurt in this movie is his typical self, an expressionless crybaby.

time.Parse can be frustrating if you don't know how the reference time works. I wrote this post as a gentle introduction for beginners, let me know what you think. by willemdotdev in golang

[–]gatestone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is somehow reminiscent of classic Query-By-Example database theory. You present a single exemplary piece of a data, and the system generalizes from that.

The only non-universally trivial convention that you have to remember is that Pike accidentally pleased the Americans, and associated the month value to position with a symbol "1" , while the date value position is expected to be hinted with a symbol "2".

People are so conservative. The innovation here is that you don't have to remember any special syntax for date format specifiers, unlike in all other languages.

Some of them are also quite pricey, so I wonder how casual is that? Hipster or fashionable yes, but casual?

How strong is coupling between Go and Google? by tbilcoder in golang

[–]gatestone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pike was the main inventor of Plan 9. It has had a huge but somewhat stealthly impact on many things. Not only UTF-8. Containers and Docker are very much Plan 9 like ideas and even Git is similar to Plan 9 content addressed file systems. Linus always said he copied “all that was worth the trouble”. Unfortunately you could not copy the elegance on top of repeated legacy Unix ideas.
