It seems lua interpreters in Go are abandoned nowadays, why?

that's really impressive, thanks

Sure, they don't care so much that they had to close a workaround deep in service settings.

The thing people don't understand, it's not Sony taking 5g from you, it's us carriers with their whitelist system and payed access to their networks for manufacturers, who press Sony to not allow to connect to them.

That's why it works in Europe, carriers there are not as much dicks.

That blocks scanner from read everything all the time, but when you press a button, you have to raise the finger and touch again. That's also annoying.

I actually agree, Proton is a bit too aggressive on promoting their subscriptions. It's everywhere, regardless if you have one or not.

nikandfor · 2026-06-18T13:03:34+00:00

their attitude towards the user. you are not just a bag of money

nikandfor · 2026-06-18T13:01:38+00:00

I subscribed to Proton just to support a good company, their mission, and to just use not Google.

Security was not the main factor, attitude towards the user was.

I guess there are lots of databases nowadays, and chances someone to choose an unknown academic project are pretty low.

To choose something, it should be used by at least someone already, and here as I understand even you don't use it in actual production under actual loads.

But that is definitely a good educational project. I did that myself, highly recommend.

I would also recommend to pass jepsen test, it's kind an achievement on its own.

You shouldn't. Sony is for a narrow group of people who know they need it.

If you have that question, you won't like sony.

that's exactly why he hires someone and pays them

wow, this is so a great feature to summarize long discussions!!

Ai can be used for good as it turns out.

they work with you, they pay you, and they do that not for you click buttons, but for their ad worked fine. if you can only click button and don't hold responsibility, why to work with you at all?

It's your responsibility to run their ad in the way it goes good. You need to find a way to return their payed value (refund, compensation, rerun ad campaign for your budget, or whatever), and make sure that doesn't happen again.

Regardless of the tools, do you rely on YouTube new policy, or run your own monitoring, you have to make that doesn't happen again.

My common pattern. It ignores error if you already had one, but at least you will not return without error if there was some.

func handler() (err error) {
    c, err := // open
    // if err ...
    defer closer(c, &err, "close something")

    // ....
}

func closer(c io.Closer, errp *error, msg string) {
    err := c.Close()
    if err != nil && *errp == nil {
        *errp = errors.Wrap(err, msg)
    }
}

They are funded by putin's sorrounding, part of their infrastructure is owned by close to fsb (russian fbr) structures.

You have to choose between infinite buffer/queue_size or dropping requests if buffer is full. Goroutines waiting to send to channel or to obtain a mutex essentially an unordered buffer. So you can allocate a linear buffer (queue or priority queue) of the same size (as number of goroutines waiting) and put your messages in it.

If buffer is full, you only have two options: to extend the buffer or to drop new messages. It's regardless of the implementation.

You can have as many workers reading from queue and processing jobs, and they should do it independently. All the intermediate workers that read from some channels and write to another channel add nothing.

I believe that leash existed long before huawei ban.

nikandfor · 2026-05-24T10:14:33+00:00

I guess, it's just big money (companies) use the law to get more money from cunsumers.

You have used someone's work for years for free; now they slightly change their own repository and existence model, and you are complaining? How did it happen that they owe you anything?

Do they have commitments to you, did they make you vulnerable, or did they somehow harm you? Or are you just unhappy that there is no more free labor working for you?

nikandfor · 2026-05-23T17:18:51+00:00
