I stated using gofakeit's "hackerphrase" for all commit messages. https://github.com/andrewarrow/feedback/commits/main/ hp | git commit -a -F - hp is a golang binary that just spits out a hacker phrase. I have this aliased with the letter q for "quick" so I'm always checking in stuff with q return push done.

This is a screenshot of all the USA data from https://openaddresses.io/ https://i.imgur.com/nHIYtap.png It's about 80GB un-compressed. I wanted a postgres table like: zip | integer location | geometry(Point,4326) "zip_locations_zip_index" UNIQUE, btree (zip) The following takes hours and hours to run: https://github.com/andrewarrow/feedback/blob/main/location/zip.go But you end up with a nice way to get an approximate postgis geometry for any zip code in the USA. (For free.) Anyone know of a faster way? My favorite part of this code is buffer := make([]byte, 1). By making the buffer just a single byte, I can look for "\n" so much easier than if I was reading in 1024 bytes or 2,048 bytes etc and then I have to find that \n in the middle.

I love this list. One thing I'll add is I like to avoid using S3 or google's cloud storage AT ALL until I have > 30 GB. i.e. with google free tier of their compute engine you get a 30GB hard drive, 1GB ram, and two AMD EPYC 7B12 2250 MHz processors. So I make a fake bucket system using those free 30GB: https://github.com/andrewarrow/feedback/tree/main/filestorag... All the code I write is in bucket form, ready to flip a switch and use real buckets but 100% free up to that hard drive limit.

I just used a mutex here: https://github.com/andrewarrow/feedback/blob/master/stats/me... Multiple go routines will call this method at same time but: https://github.com/andrewarrow/feedback/blob/master/router/p... Where I call it I start a new go routine so nothing is ever waiting on that mutex right?

So this question https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35198563 prompted me to revisit the framework demo'ed here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35033368 Just like reddit lets you go to what might be a 404 page /r/anything-you-want and you can then create that subreddit, I added this feature to remoterenters so you can make /rr/anything-you-want and be the mod of that sub. To get the ball rolling with some content I made these two AI based subs: https://remoterenters.com/rr/amazing-ai-understanding/ https://remoterenters.com/rr/writing-prompts/ And my friend "not_a_t1000" bot helped me add some interesting content. My favorite one in "amazing-ai-understanding" is about the Steering Wheel! How can it know this subtle meaning! So impressed! Feel free to create your own new subs or add to these. Everything is open source. You can follow

paste an example search with zero results in code. Like I did: https://github.com/andrewarrow/feedback/search?q=view&type=c... but https://github.com/andrewarrow/feedback/search?q=views&type=... does have results.

Don't do this: https://github.com/andrewarrow/feedback/blob/90abc793edd0806...

I've been trying to write my "go on rails" framework for years. I never quite got it like I wanted. There is gin and echo and all sorts of other frameworks and patterns but I finally found something I really like: /foo/ /foo/bar/ /foo/bar/more/ That's it. Just three levels and all my controllers get passed in what's between the / with var names first, second, third. In order to really make sure this framework could build something real I made a Hacker News clone. RemoteRenters.com is a HN just for articles about the remote work revolution since covid. Feel free to vote or submit to see how it all works! Code is open source at: https://github.com/andrewarrow/feedback
