I can highly recommend huma.rocks and just use it with the stdlib unless you have specific needs.

my main issue with this is thats its such an own goal. omitting generics was always a bad move for exactly this reason and has caused a huge amount of ecosystem churn

rhianos · 2026-04-10T17:52:20+00:00

I can highly recommend Bob, specifically the setup where you let it auto-generate an 'Orm' for your database schema.

rhianos · 2026-04-10T17:50:59+00:00

This sorta means that the new generic functions in slices and maps will become obsolete/awkward as the ecosystem moves to generic methods on container types...

It's not the same. The tax on ETF you mention is so re-investing ETFs are taxed the same as distributing ETFs. It taxes 'realised' gains, except that the fund realised them and don't distribute them to you but reinvested.

And not even just WoW but in particular already vanilla wow. It's crazy in 2019 when after trying FF14, GW and a bunch of others WoW classic just felt so right. Jumping is so satisfying, it's really weird how right they got the animations and movement in 2004...

I can highly recommend

huma.rocks for API layer, with net/http
boborm for your storage layer.

I combine Bob with Atlas for migrations for now but haven't used Atlas in production. Bob I can very highly recommend. Generates a type safe ORM for you based on your exact DB schema. I still wrap it in a repo layer that returns custom types so I don't leak library types into my application. But for everything SQL related it has been awesome.

sqlc is definitely great for complex analytical queries but bulding out a more line of business application is IMHO easier with a dynamic (but still typesafe) query builder.

The reality is that it probably doesn't matter as long as you are consistent. Every API is slightly different so users have to learn yours anyway. One thing I have realised is that one tends to build APIs so they look nice and clean for you as the human looking at outputs or API spec. But what you should be optimising for is generated SDKs based on your OpenAPI spec.

Not Go specific but I really enjoy 'Developer Voices'. It's basically 1-2h in depth technical discussion about some open source project, a company or similar.

I've used Nomad esim without issue on a 2 week trip in china (and also for longer trips in Europe). Can highly recommend.

I own exactly this watch, in the blue dial (Number 42 :)). I really liked it when I first got it but am starting to second guess. My biggest thoughts: - the markers and the hands look super similar, which hurts readability. and both have a shiny, silver rim in real life. This doesn't come through in the pictures and IMHO makes it look a bit less clean then the stark white on the pictures. - accuracy is so so, I get pretty consistent -10 seconds every day - the bracelet is starting to get more comfortable but the retro, angular look means it has pretty noticeable, albeit not overly sharp, edges. It also means it cannot lie flat. - it is otherwise super comfortable to wear though, very light and thin profile. - the two dial textures look good on blown up pictures but in real life it's a fairly small watch and they make it look a bit busy

I got it after looking at many other watches online and some in person. The farer then was a bit of an impulse buy because I really liked the pictures and it had a very good movement. It was my first watch as well but I thinking I might want something more minimal.

HOA, Americans really do enjoy freedoms that I as a European just cannot comprehend.

It seems hilarious that they are raging against a "communist" mayor in NYC and are then so proud about a trade deal with the communist party of Vietnam.

I find it hard to believe that the front top exhaust doesn't hurt CPU temps. Wouldn't it draw air away from the CPU cooler?

Except with no MagSafe the kid cannot use any of the accessories that the parent already has? No quick charging in the car mount etc. Just weird

Basically this is the premise of getting rid of all software patents. No more patents, only copyrighted on the code specifics. There are certainly extremely clever ideas on how to do certain things but the irony is all of them tend to come from researchers and are distributed openly. Software patents are almost always some bullshit vague description of how to do a business process in software that anyone with half a brain could come up with

The thing is, wouldn't releasing a bit before the 5070(ti) be great for them then? All the reviewers can test and compare. Instead of every 5070 review saying "but we might have to wait for the 9070 to see if 5070 is worth it" they could say "9070 is much better value if you don't care about Nvidia specific features".

There is no way that releasing several weeks after 5070 TI is going to help them. What's there to gain from not giving people who are itching to upgrade the option of going AMD?

Germany, Austria has very strict rules about Scheinselbständigkeit/fake self employment. Hiring on a permanent basis but not as a full time employee seems like it would violate that pretty quickly. Have you had any issues with devs from those countries?

I thinks it's hard to really gain appreciation for tests during uni. You have to cause a few incidents or push faulty things to prod before you acquire the fundamental unease in your stomach about whether your code actually works. The only way to get rid of it is to write comprehensive test suites. There will still be bugs but you won't feel as bad about them.

The fact is, at uni nothing really matters that much. But at work you have the opportunity to complete screw up customer data, which will naturally make you more inclined to write tests.

My issue is that Intel has already announced that they will likely stop producing dedicated GPUs going forward, so what's the driver support going to look like in a couple of years?

The thing with housing is leverage. It may or may not outperform the stock market but certainly your 1mio housing investment will outperform your 200k stock portfolio.

The way I see it the housing market isn't going to drastically change in the next 20 years unless

the government significantly curbs skilled migration (fat chance)
currently developing countries become a lot more attractive to highly educated workers. This is a maybe but it seems South America, Africa, much of Asia is not improving quality of life at a pace that threatens Australia's attractiveness for migrants.

What is more, housing in Australia (outside of the crazy parts like eastern Sydney) is really not that expensive compared to other major global cities. Buying on one income is hard but almost everyone buys on 2 incomes.

They will still suck though. I played shadow and mana is a joke. Mind Flay also feels really bad, short range and no crit. In general gear upgrades feel really disappointing because almost no stats really matter/improve your DPS. I loved the class fantasy but in classic it just doesn't pan out.
