lu4p··on Go’ing Insane: Endless Error Handling
Maybe that's just me, but I find the explicit returns easier to read.

No you should use errors.Is(err, http.ErrHandlerTimeout) instead of simple equality.

No he's not, he even stated, that he is fine with coming back to the US if he is guaranteed a fair trail.

True, but still memory safe, also Go has a race detector included which is really easy to use https://blog.golang.org/race-detector

lu4p··on European Citizen's Initiative for UBI
Although you can move freely to any country, to recieve benefits in a most countries you need to have had a job for 3 months before you can claim any benefits.
lu4p··on European Citizen's Initiative for UBI
This would probably be implement as a Directive (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directive_(European_Union)), meaning individual EU countries need to devise their own laws on how to reach the goal of an UBI.

The amount of UBI will most likely depend on how much money an individual needs to buy food, pay rent and pay basic utilities, in a given country.

lu4p··on Mumble: Open-Source, Low Latency, High Quality Voice Chat
I think the mumble/ teamspeak ship has sailed a long time ago the UI/ UX of discord is just better.

I would like a open source solution similar to discord, I think the closest thing we currently have are Signal group calls.

Current features of Signal calls: - peer to peer no need for a central server which sells your data (Discord) or needs to be setup rented, maintained (teamspeak, mumble)

- end to end encryption

- video calls

- Screen sharing

- large group sizes for text chats (1000)

Wanted features: - adjust the volume of individual participants

- multiple voice/ text "channels" for a group (something similar to discord servers)

- usernames so that not everybody needs to know my phone number

- more participants in a single group call (currently maximum 8), I think 10-15 should be enough for most use cases, with more voice participants voice chat breaks down regardless, because of people constantly interrupting each other

- the UI for group calls is still a little confusing

lu4p··on Go Error Handling Proposals
Go error handling works well as is I think most of these proposals add a lot more complexity.
