That's still a lot

That means literally nothing. Indirect still gets built, indirect still in the exe.

damn thats a big ass list of imports:

38··on Show HN: Use Go's HTML/template to write React-like code
> Once the major browser engines support it, it's de-facto legal.

thats madness. just because the browser allows it, doesn't mean you should do it.

38··on Show HN: Use Go's HTML/template to write React-like code
fair enough, but you're also downplaying/omitting the huge dependency cost of React, both server side and client side. so pick your poison.

you're basically saying "I want server side code without having to actually code anything". of course nothing is going to beat react, its an impossible ask

> If you put this in its proper term it is "corruption" and you should definitely worry about the legal implications of doing this

you seem to only be thinking about one side of this, the company side. what about the endless amount of normal end users that got caught by some god awful AI, and ignored by a huge tech company and its basically non existing customer service?

38··on Go Browser Package
that sounds nice, but history has shown thats never what happens.

what REALLY happens is the most popular browser and even version is determined, and anything thats not that doesn't get tested, and eventually breaks. its the pinnacle of lazy programming. "lets use telemetry so that we can point to data that allows us to make software thats as brittle as possible".

38··on Go Browser Package
please stop doing stuff like this. its trivial to change the user-agent when making a request with a programming language, so any logic surrounding that should be non existent, or as simple as possible.

the user-agent string has an essentially arbitrary format, so its not really a good place to be reading data from, or worse serving a different response based on the value.

I agree, who cares if a website supports accessibility, no one in the world is vision impaired and uses screen readers right? right?

The one flutter website I have come across is an absolute piece of garbage. Completely destroys the ability to modify or even inspect the HTML source. See for yourself

What do you mean work around DASH?

DASH is the correct way to do this. The combined formats are legacy.

> If apple cares that much about the box, imagine the effort they put into the rest of the hardware, software, and experience

faulty logic. if that was the case, they would intentionally over engineer the box, and leave everything else shitty, in order to save money. the box doesn't matter, the product matters.

38··on Small Things
The box? Really? The box does not matter at all. As long as it's not a plastic clamshell, it's good enough. The box just not justify the 2x price over mostly similar products

right, but RefCell is optional. if you dont use that, you get checking at compile time.

Rust does it at compile time, so why cant C++? to me this detail completely kills the usefulness of this project

If both are now crypto secure, what's the point of having both? Also seems like they've made math/rand slower, not a win in my book.
