IIRC Roblox was using Consul

> Tan, for his part, apologized over the weekend, noting that his post was a reference to a Tupac Shakur lyric

Ah, so if it's a quote, it doesn't matter, because even though you've decided when to use them, they're not "your words"

Thanks, going to publish press releases with Cannibal Corpse lyrics going forward.

Even if they use in-house counsel? I would assume having salaried lawyers lowers the cost of registering that many patents at least a little, but I suppose it could also end up still being $1B.

"Why are people making new tools instead of using the antiquated ones I'm familiar with?"

Pages predates Microsoft's acquisition, and I can use Copilot on the repos I commit to any other source control system.

Those posts are an HN staple, this place wouldn't be the same without it. I think I've been using GCP longer than most people's projections of how long it would last.

"This tech will only make people dumber over time" was also claimed about the Internet.

what a great platform for free speech when you can get banned for angering a billionaire

This basically doesn't happen, mostly an urban legend.

Protected from what, end-to-end encryption?

I remember seeing a talk[1] at Gophercon a while back on how nightmarish macaroons were to implement.

`docker system prune --force --all --volumes` and they're gone.

"What if I had significantly increased barriers to doing this very inappropriate and deeply weird thing?"

It should, obviously, be necessary to do this.

Is it a race between those three when the public can only use two of them?

I've been watching folks here on HN speculate that Google will kill GCP "any minute now" for at least the last 4 years, so ya'll can keep holding your breath, I will be having fun deploying things for 1/10th the price of AWS.

If it doesn't scale down to zero, then it doesn't compete with Cloud Run.

Recently tried writing some async Rust to compare the error handling when nested async calls are made to how errors are handled in Go, and it seemed like the trivial example I was trying to write up simply couldn't be done without involving Tokio. That barrier simply doesn't exist in Go, or C#, or Typescript.

For instance, you apparently cannot `await` in the main function without a decorator you import from, you guessed it: Tokio.

It also prevents adding relevant context to the errors, meaning you get all the joy of hunting through call stacks to figure out what went wrong in a sufficiently complex program.

Coincidences can happen. :)

I genuinely have no idea what you're referring to by "stringly-typing all over stdlib". I've written Go every day for the better part of a decade and used the standard library the whole time. What standard library functions require passing in the string of a type?

This pattern already works and would work with this change, you'd just need to define `/foo/bar` first.

> Only if you don't know C# or asp.net (or bootstrap). In which case: why would you be working for an organization which does?

You've never taken a job working in a language you don't know yet? Anecdotally this is a common thing. In fact, my most recent job hired me to write C# with nothing but prior Go/Python experience.

> This kind of structured approach has fallen out of favor because it's become more popular to hire javascript and react developers straight out of boot camp who have only been taught how to code one or two things.

This comes across to me as needlessly bitter to folks with less experience than you.

It adheres to the Go 1 compatibility promise.

Go is type safe.

What common use-cases does it not support?

The matte-black laptop they shipped out to beta testers for ChromeOS is still the best laptop I've ever owned. Maybe not processing speed-wise, but the size and everything else was perfection.

If those calls can cause errors, then yes, it's necessary to handle them. Maybe you're content to have a contextless stack trace printed whenever things fail, but I like a little order.

It's absolutely idiomatic to use panic in main. In fact, that's basically the only place it's allowed in "Go programming standards."

He bamboozled as much money from rich people as he did from poors, they're throwing the book at him.
