I started using privacy about 6 months ago. It is a great service. I have changed all of my subscriptions over to them and I set a monthly or yearly limit depending on the subscription type.

There were free BBS's, AOL and Compuserve where you would dial in with your modem. I kind of miss those days to be honest.

Does it save the returns locally or on their servers?

Yes, it can import the wrong thing (or version) but it doesn't happen that often in my experience. If you use the libraries in other files it can go off of what is already in your go.mod file.

goimports re-adds them when you uncomment the code. Unless it is ambiguous on which lib to import which doesn't happen very often.

If you use goimports (which also runs gofmt) after commenting out code, you just have to save your file and it will remove any unused imports. There is no reason to go to the extreme extent of compiling your own modified version of go just for this. The tooling is already there.

Just run goimports on save then there would be no issue with unused imports. I would take go's error handling over try/catch any day of the week.

Just use Brave, if you don't like crypto, just completely ignore it. It isn't even in your face unless you want it to be. The browser is just like Chrome without the "phone to google". Plus it has a more performant version of Adblock builtin.

Iomega was so hyped back in the day. Many people lost money on that play. Kind of glad I was too broke to invest at the time.

They haven't blocked Brave yet apparently.

My first modem was 300 baud on my Commodore 64 as a kid. 56k was like heaven a few years later.

Both my wireless keyboard and mouse are USB-C. I use the C connection for charging them.

Yeah, that point is wrong in my opinion. I don't think programmers back then tried to build things to last any more than programmers today do.

COBOL ONLY USES 2 CHARACTER YEARS IF THAT IS THE WAY IT WAS CODED. PEOPLE DIDN'T THINK THEIR 60'S - 90'S CODE WOULD STILL BE RUNNING IN 2000. COBOL DOES SUPPORT lowercase LETTERS. GET WITH THE TIMES!

I am talking about 'select ' at the top level, they can be harmless in exists, sub-selects and CTE's. The number of columns sent to the client (the program) will change when you add a column to the database. If you don't remember to change all of the places in your code where you used a 'select ', you program is likely going to fail or have unexpected results.

If you have a table with two columns and you do a 'select *', adding a column to the table can break code that is only expecting 2 columns.

How are Goto's invisible? They are pretty explicit.

Also, just because your (not talking to you, just a pet-peeve of mine) CS101 professor said that Goto's are bad, doesn't mean it is true in 100% of cases.

You are right. I used to work on one. Yay COBOL.
