Ah I’m not in love with the other comments so far. Those commenters are all complaining class based wealth and wage disparity. That’s 100% a problem. A really big one! But the actress’s statement is about gender discrimination. And that is also a big problem.

We should never use the existence one problem to diminish or ignore others.

Well this confuses me. I’m only aware of upvotes and downvotes. What do the 4 colors mean? And what do the left and right arrows mean? Arrow size?

[–] Lodra 1 points 8 months ago

Well that’s an interesting take! What aspects are you opposed to?

IANAL but I did read through the patents agreement that you linked. It basically says do whatever you want with Go as long as it different infringe on Google patents. Which is pretty much backed by US law anyways and I assume other countries as well. The sketchy part is that your license is revoked as soon as they file a lawsuit rather than win it. Honestly, I’d be surprised if Google ever used this in a legal dispute because there would be a huge community backlash.

That also only applies to Go developers. You would only be a user for a tool written on Go. How does your using a tool written in Go translate to support for Google and its bad practices? Do you not use any software written in Go?

Sorry if this is sounding argumentative! I’m generally a big fan of Go and definitely opposed to Google and using its products. This is a topic that I haven’t considered before so my questions represent my sincere curiosity.

I think I’m banning myself from flying on Boeing planes.

The admins just launched a bunch of new services, including Blocks. I’m not sure if it checks all of your boxes. But it’s an obvious choice to look into

TST = Tree Style Tabs STG = Simple Tab Groups

Sidebery provides this functionality as well. Don’t get me wrong. If you like TST and STG, then enjoy!

Sidebery And userchrome.css to hide the default tab bar

Gotta check out Sidebery. It’s a big upgrade from TST

The simplest way is certainly to use a hosted service like GitHub Pages. These make it so easy to create static websites.

If you’re not flexible on that detail, then I next recommend Go actually. You could write a tiny web server and embed the static files into the app at build time. In the end, you’d have a single binary that acts as a web server and has your content. Super easy to dockerize.

Things like authentication will complicate the app over time. If you need extra features like this, then I recommend using common tools like nginx as suggested by others.

Absolutely a good perspective on the surrounding infra! I fully agree. Thanks for sharing.
