A three-part post on development process: 1. @egonelbre/value-in-software-f5ec07bcc94b" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@egonelbre/val… 2. @egonelbre/building-with-value-dd16cc5f408e" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@egonelbre/bui… 3. @egonelbre/building-with-value-an-example-fa6280a1aa77" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@egonelbre/bui…

@VictoriqueM `int` is 32bit in Java. `int` in Go depends on the system architecture, most likely 64bit on dev machines. (Didn't measure whether that's what makes the difference.)

now the main question is why the Java version is faster than the GO one Java took 2.1 min and GO took 3.26 nin

@fredbrancz The Algorithm Design Manual for algorithms. A Philosophy of Software Design for general programming. aosabook.org/en/ for learning about software architecture. The Little Book of Semaphores for concurrency.

A friend is looking for books/courses/resources for technical interviews on algorithms, datastructures, etc.. What would you recommend? 🙏 #technicalinterview

@lemire Can we make a GDPR opt out HTTP header?

"The GDPR reduced investment for EU technology ventures. The GDPR disproportionately hurts smaller firms, to the benefit of larger firms (often large international corporations). Many European firms report to be limited in their ability to innovate due to the GDPR." nber.org/system/files/w…

@broady I did have brain fog this summer, but not due to covid. tl;dr; my Vitamin D tanked and after taking supplements it recovered. During that time I was looking into brain fog and found youtube.com/watch?v=qoR72-… and youtube.com/watch?v=wjZL0l…, which were useful to some people I know.

covid brain fog is wild. short term memory is horrible and having trouble recalling words. anyone else been through this? what was your experience with it?

How is this magic happening? #golang

@fu5ha @FreyaHolmer Looking at the clipboard data, I'm seeing PNG... and I suspect browser is picking it up.

@fu5ha @FreyaHolmer Box selection. Copy-Paste from Affinity directly to Google Slides.

is there a way to copy from a layer in photoshop and paste into google slides without losing transparency? it pastes with a white background ;-; I could save each as a .png file but it would be HORRIBLY slow as a workflow bc I need lots of tiny images like this

@FreyaHolmer @fu5ha I tested copy-paste from Affinity Photo and it preserves transparency. So, looks like a PS issue.

@fu5ha hmmmm it does if you copy a file rather than directly from PS, I feel like it should work

@Grady_Booch @JoranLeest However, based on jobs.msgsphere.com/sphere/jobs/19… it might be a regular video.

@Grady_Booch @JoranLeest I'm not sure the specific one it's using, but tools in a similar category: * youtube.com/watch?v=zTfZ6j… * syncronorm.com/products/depen… * hexler.net/touchviz The general term seems to be "DMX software" (reddit.com/r/lightingdesi… contains a list).

@David5442842714 My artwork is licensed under creativecommons.org/publicdomain/z…, but definitely do credit Renee French for creating the mascot.

@egonelbre Hi Egon, I was wondering if I could use your gopher art for my open source project? I have no problem giving you credit for your artwork in the repository.

@johncutlefish Of course, this state of "magic" doesn't last long because the "imagined ideal effort" self-corrects pretty fast.

@johncutlefish B. The inverse "imagined ideal e. - perceived e. > 0", would mean a situation where you do something and "things just work", whereas you weren't able to imagine that things can be that easy. In other words, this is "good magic". The easiest example would be using text-to-image nn

@mholt6 I don't have a specific recommendation, but, one of my goto places to find answers to such questions is alternativeto, e.g. alternativeto.net/software/font-…

Is there a decent cross-platform font viewer/organizer program? Like a photo library app, but for fonts. Or like what Mendeley is for research papers, but for fonts instead.

@oleg008 Wouldn't it be clearer to let people input the unit directly? e.g. if you want to set it `em`, you'll input `100em`. The same could be used for the prefix button, but it's less conventional.

Alright, here is the solution 🎉

Damn, we just found a solution to a really hard accessibility problem, I don't think this has been done before: How do you make this component fully keyboard accessible if both icon and px are buttons and this component is part of a list, so I don't want to tab through each 3x?

I have released v0.1.0 of Gotraceui, the efficient frontend for Go execution traces. It is my latest project and an attempt at bringing Go's traces to the masses. Please check it out at github.com/dominikh/gotra… #golang

So, I wrote a blog post about Go integration tests with Postgres, and how to setup a clean "database" in less than 30ms (in many cases). storj.io/blog/go-integr…

@mholt6 Nevertheless, there could be some invalid memory usage that both encounter; except one crashes.

@egonelbre This is on Windows though. No such problems on Linux.

I've got a cgo binary that compiles locally on Windows and runs just fine. (I'm using Zig as the C compiler). But when I do the same build in CI (also with Zig), I get this error immediately when running the binary, and the process exits. Any ideas? #golang
