At my final tech job, they were gearing up to fire me, and so they gave me the task of writing unit tests for a golang-based k8s deployer that was somewhere around 700k lines. They specifically told me to use Copilot for it, and for just about every function I tried to unit test, it tried to make sure that .onclick() was still working. Yeah they ended up firing me.

The FOSS community really HATE tracking and telemetry. For example, google get a lot of flak recently for attempting to add telemetry to golang compiler and had to make it opt-in (instead of opt-out) as a compromise.
The program go is not installed. Install it by executing: pkg install golang
I’m sorry - I understand it’s free, but this is how I feel: Nextcloud stopped being a fast, reliable file sync tool a long time ago (I mean - was it ever? it’s free thats why most people use it). It’s become a bloated “groupware suite” full of useless Talk, Groupware, AI, and half-finished apps… while the core sync still chokes on large folders and locks files like it’s 2015. The Core Problem PHP-FPM and mod_php are ancient architectures - every request spins up, runs, and dies. No persistent memory, no connection reuse, and no async I/O, no coroutines, slow as molasses non scalable backend held together only with redis. Result: slow UI, slow sync, race conditions, and constant errors. Tons of open GitHub issues about sync bugs, upgrades, and no action from nextcloud. I’m sick of it. I’m done with it and I will be very direct about it. Comments and issues and proposed classical PHP solutions are shocking: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/latest/admin_manual/configuration_files/big_file_upload_configuration.html#configuring-your-web-server Nextcloud suggests you up its ram to 16Gb. 16Gb Carl! php_value upload_max_filesize 16G php_value post_max_size 16G What about 17Gb files Nextcloud? nogo? don’t use nextcloud then? Have you ever heard of TUS? opencloud can run circles around nextcloud now - it is written in GO, much better architecturally, long running, uses connection pooling, does not need redis to survive. What they (nextcloud) should do: Hyperf + Swoole Swoole turns PHP into a high-performance async server - persistent memory, connection pooling, non-blocking I/O. Hyperf+swoole - can rival GOlang. Hyperf builds on it: native WebSockets, coroutine HTTP, and microservice-ready architecture. You get live sync, push notifications, and massive concurrency with a fraction of the resource cost. Add TUS (resumable uploads) and you finally have reliable file transfer on bad connections. I don’t want bloat. I want reliable sync that just works. I’d rather self-host a lean, fast sync app than manage ten half-integrated apps. They need to switch to Hyperf + Swoole - and bring Dropbox-level sync to self-hosting without the pain. Nextcloud could fix its image by: Refocusing on sync reliability and performance. Moving core services to a persistent, async engine (Swoole / hyperf, etc). Making “Nextcloud Core” modular - separate entirely from the groupware/ai/talk - I don’t fucking need it. Until then, those who care about speed, concurrency, and modern PHP should look beyond the old PHP-FPM world. Im not the only person - people are sick of this inaction:
Me too. I just ran time tree across my home directory a few times. Native console (ie C-A-F3) - 54 seconds, Konsole - eight seconds. Waveterm is still installing (Arch AUR). The fan has a Gentooesque sound to it as a suspiciously complicated thing gets built. Oh God … electon … terminal shaking … golang … fans whining … lap melting … the Old Ones are stirring. The deps for this thing are many. " I watched Firefox builds on Gentoo glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate". OK, its now arrived and my laptop case is making ping noises as it cools. It takes 10 seconds or so to start up. Look pretty. Accept license agreement (wtf). Now what? Hmm lets try typing in that box. OK. time tree. Go back to Lemmy to type the last two paras of this comment, get bored and uninstall waveterm.
Also, like, fuck golang, it’s such a shit language and the compiler does very little to protect you I never understood why people like it. It’s a “new” language, and it still doesn’t seem to get the basics right. No proper null handling, and don’t get me started on interface{}. It’s like they set out to build a better alternative to C++ while ignoring the other developments outside C/C++ for the past 15 years. The compiler is damn quick, though.
It’s nicknamed the autohell tools for a reason. It’s neat but most of its functionality is completely useless to most people. The autotools are so old I think they even predate Linux itself, so it’s designed for portability between UNIXes of the time, so it checks the compiler’s capabilities and supported features and tries to find paths. That also wildly predate package managers, so they were the official way to install things so there was also a need to make sure to check for dependencies, find dependencies, and all that stuff. Nowadays you might as well just want to write a PKGBUILD if you want to install it, or a Dockerfile. Just no need to check for 99% of the stuff the autotools check. Everything it checks for has probably been standard compiler features for at least the last decade, and the package manager can ensure you have the build dependencies present. Ultimately you eventually end up generating a Makefile via M4 macros through that whole process, so the Makefiles that get generated look as good as any other generated Makefiles from the likes of CMake and Meson. So you might as well just go for your hand written Makefile, and use a better tool when it’s time to generate a Makefile. (If only c++ build systems caught up to Golang lol) At least it’s not node_modules
This is exactly the point made in this 2010 article that’s probably one of the things I link to most often in online discussions. https://whatheco.de/2010/12/07/function-hell/ Also, the real problem with code on the right in OP is all the state mutations made to the arguments passed into the functions. Not too familiar with golang, but this really could use some sort of builder pattern or something, if you’re going to mutate the object. Or a more functional style with just a pure function mapping an input “order” to output “toppings”, etc. There are plenty of ways to make the bad design on the right better without stuffing everything into a single function, so the whole premise is a bit of a false dichotomy.

After selfhosting dozens of applications myself I am looking forward to giving something back to the community. I wanted a way to manage both my professional and personal relationships better. Especially with kids around it feels difficult to keep up with everyone’s birthdays, diets, events and whatnot . Originally I used Monica but development has stalled since quite a while and the new version was a fair bit more complex than I needed. So over the last many months I built my own solution. What it can do: You can add contacts (even with custom fields), relationships, reminders, activities and notes. Optionally you can also activate the CardDav server to sync contacts to and from your phone. What it cannot do: There is no platform sync with LinkedIn/E-Mail/Messengers and there are no AI functionalities (neither is currently planned). As of now there is no native iOS/Android app, using the page on mobile works fine for me so far. Development and use of AI: This app is not vibe coded. I do use AI assistants for programming support but code is either authored or reviewed by me (which is definitely required). I used golang for the backend (such a great language), the frontend is react. After a PR on github E2E tests are run, for each tag docker containers are built and available. Demo and links: You can try a demo here: https://meerkat-crm-demo.fly.dev/ (login with username demo and password test_12345). The demo starts on demand so it might take a couple seconds to load. Data is shared but resets as soon as the demo goes idle. Repository: https://github.com/fbuchner/meerkat-crm (the README has a screengrab to give you an impression) I am an avid user of the app myself and excited to open it up to the community now. Please be kind, I’ve been working on this for quite a while but it is my first open source project at this scale.

As the title says, it’s a rather simple golang script for creating memories in Immich based on certain criteria, since there aren’t any customization options in the official app. As you may gather from the README, I created this for very personal reasons. But I wanted to share it here in case someone else finds it useful as well. Currently it can do filtering based on people, and tags. But I’m more than happy to add more options, if requested.

Yeah, insisting on things like a variable being used will result in people using work arounds. It won’t result in people not doing it. Then, because people trust the language to police this rule, the work-arounds and debug code will get committed. func main() { test := true } Oops, golang doesn’t like that. func main() { test := true _ = test } Perfectly cromulent code. If they really wanted to avoid people having unused variables, they should have used a naming convention. Any variable not prefixed by “_” or “_debug_” or whatever has to be used, for example. Then block any code being checked in that still contains those markers.
I wanted to know the same thing so this is what my searching has brought up, specifically for Scots Gaelic as that’s what I’ve been learning. Speak Gaelic - Gaelic only, government funded, free IndyLan - for endangered European languages, made by Heriot-Watt University and EU funded, free Mango Languages - appears to be the closest to a Duolingo replacement. Many languages, subscription. Glossika - another Duo replacement however that URL doesn’t fill me with confidence that they’re not going down the same route… Subscription for most languages, endangered ones are free. Apart from the first Mango lesson for free and a few IndyLan lessons I’ve not tried any of these so can’t speak for their quality but thought a list might still be handy.
