In Portugal we have "café com cheirinho", coffee with a nice smell. Coffee is drunk with bagaço, aguardente or medronho.

Interesting how other countries also have this culture

Re:What was your "Oh Shit" moment with GenAI? on Saturday June 06, 2026 @03:32AM (#48422390)
I work with a Go monorepo and set up Bazel for a couple of services that used CGo. It took a while but was painless to set up.
> The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly colored and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question: "Is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say: "Hey, don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride."

Mild Spoilers.

I will always have a special place for Babylon 5. One time I was watching it with my father who lived under a dictatorship, watched a scene with Mr Morden and Lando, immediately said "this kind of talk is meant to put people against other people". He didn't care much for the extraterrestrial part of the show but was very interested in portrayal of authoritarianism.

Re:Several core problems with Rust on Monday November 24, 2025 @02:21AM (#46031258)
In Go, if one would ignore the error, it could result in a panic or the program would continue with some unexpected state. Go projects work on an honour system and either return Nils with errors or empty structs.

Re:Go has added Valgrind support on Tuesday September 23, 2025 @10:48AM (#45347856)
Pprof doesn't tell you if something was leaked aka still around.

I fixed a leak recently because of misuse of a slice with code like

slice = append(slice[1:], newElement)

I only figured it out by looking at the pprof heap endpoint output and noticed there were multiple duplicate entries.

Re:Go Concurrency vs. RxJS on Friday October 04, 2024 @04:59AM (#41739314)
Oh absolutely, whenever i use anything, I have to see how to integrate cancellation and now context is everywhere just for this.

It gets overly verbose because of "simplicity"

data, ok := <-someChan

If ok is false, the channel is closed and data is a zero value.

Nim fits a lot of Go's use cases. It is way more niche though.

can you explain a bit what you mean with

> - Lack of dependency injection/inversion of control. I find it interesting the author lists this as an advantage. With Rails, I was always a little anxious not knowing where things were defined or being implemented.

Rails itself doesn´t have framework/library for DI/IOC but you can use constructors, I understand that a lot of Rails devs won't and just use wtv they need.

Yup. There is no self awareness of how much we got from all our colonial history.

It is also wild seeing how people are reacting to the President talking about reparations.

> Techniques like memory pools, manual memory management, directory compression, and compact file formats reduced metadata memory usage by 90%.

It is interesting that high performance systems in Go end up needing these kind of performance optimizations.

Wasn't there stuff that only appears in the XML output?
