> Go is no longer able to be built into a single static binary

In Linux, I had quite good successes building in Alpine under MUSL. Real static binaries.

It is highly language dependent.

In Germany you will sometimes see Qm for "Quadratmeter" (m²).

Same in Italy, mq.

I live in metric land (Sweden), and I have never seen "gr." for grams and honestly I would probably take a while to understand what it meant.

proofrock · 2 years ago

Here in Italy is more common than any other form, I'd say

Looks very similar to Navidrome, plus some UI polish, minus the subsonic integration that opens up to third-party mobile apps. Interesting anyway. I keep returning to Plexamp though, I don't quite like Plex "per se" but Plexamp mobile + the sonic analysis is something I miss when I don't have it.

Very nice work! Useful and informative. I’ll spread it at work.

I switched from mattn to modernc for my ws4sqlite project and could not measure a difference; really interesting though. Of course I made the switch out of cross-compoling consideration, not for the performances.

In the Era of zstandard, do we really need this?

proofrock · 4 years ago

Yes, because someone said the same when zstandard came out. This may not have the same strong points, but maybe the next will… compression is not a completed task.

Any thoughts on Code Server? It’s vs code in a browser, I’ve been used it for one year now and it’s great. But maybe it’s outside the scope of the article?

Some alternatives:

qwant.com, based in the EU, using their own index without tracking.

ecosia.org, based in the EU, backed by Bing but with their own algorithm for filtering the results.

startpage.com, based in the EU, backed by anonymized Google results.

swisscows.com, based in the EU, backed by anonymized Bing results.

(this is not an advert for EU-based search engines, these just happen to be the ones that I know of)

proofrock · 4 years ago

Qwant is really good for me.
