The "testing" name is one of the worst decision of Debian community IMHO. It misleads people.
dlock17 · a month ago
I very much agree with this, it also scared me off Debian Testing initially as well.

I wonder how many potential users have been scared off by the name... Maybe Debian devs like it that way, less annoying desktop users to support.

That's still not a fair comparison, because on a console you don't have the option to do any of that.

It is a pretty fair comparison.

You do have the option to open up Discord voice chats on PS5. Amazing what Discord could do when forced to actually write something efficient.

Youtube also exists as an app, and maybe you can trick the heavily gimped built in browser to go there as well, although last I checked it wasn't trivial.

Every Go thread on this site is the same.

"Man I love Go, it's so simple, plenty fast, really easy to pick up, read, and write. I really love that it doesn't have dozens of esoteric features for my colleagues to big brain into the codebase"

"Oh yeah? Well Go sucks, it doesn't have dozens of esoteric features for me to big brain into the codebase"

Repeat

Yep, and I personally feel like it's been the biggest stealth marketing of Go through the years.

Have the Go run some SQL queries on a local SQLite DB.

Read out a JavaScript string, execute that...

The industry is not in a state where you can just go and get a better job right now. We’ve had three years of relentless layoffs and studio closures, worse than at any other time in history. There’s nowhere to go and US employers in games are disappearing by the day.
dlock17 · 4 months ago
They're suggesting the video game workers get a better job outside of the video game industry, as their talents would be better compensated elsewhere.

I agree as this is the main reason why I do not work in the video game industry.

I would love to work in it like many others but seeing friends get chewed up and spat out has dissuaded me over time.

Cool article.

I really like structured logs and am pleased the Go team saw the benefits of bringing it into the standard library.

However, I feel like errors should be able to hold slog attributes. It makes for some very useful and easy error logging, especially when the logging takes place far up the execution chain from where the error happened.

This is easily possible with a custom error type and some log functions. I have published on GitHub my small and crude implementation that I use in a few hobby projects, MIT licensed, if anyone is interested. https://github.com/sveinnthorarins/sterlo

dlock17 · 5 months ago
I felt the same way, and made my own package for adding slog attributes to an error for easier logging. It's usually all I need for my own custom errors.

https://github.com/Danlock/pkg/blob/main/errors/attr_test.go

I can understand why it's not in the stdlib though, it seems easy enough to run into key overwriting issues if a dependency returned custom errors with attributes.

I appreciate the built in support slog has for slog.GroupValue and the slog.LogValuer interface that enables everyone to build a solution best for their needs.

classic gen Z, tho... all glitz and 0 effort.

"classic Gen Z"?

Generational wars are so stupid and so old that Ancient Sumerians complained about the youth on stone tablets...

I wonder what future generations will use to complain about their descendants...

It's time to get off your high horse. If you eat meat, future humans will regard you the same way as we regard the slave owners of yesteryear. Perhaps even worse.

Judge people by the ways in which they push their society's morals forward, not retroactively after hundreds of years of morals evolving.

dlock17 · 5 months ago
Do you think Charlie Kirk was pushing society's morals forward?

I don't think dismissing chattel slavery or it's ramifications on the modern day will improve the morals of society either.

Somehow I don't think Visa, MasterCard and PayPal are going to shut down Meta's accounts over these pornographic (and pedophilic) images.

The real problem is that Meta can test the waters with crap like this and get away scot free, maybe a few settled lawsuits at worst.
