I was stunned to discover that the Chinese Wikipedia home-page takes up 85% more disk space when saved as UTF-16 than it does as UTF-8.

One thing from C that I always missed in Go was that it's pretty easy to create a proper sum type in C by using a record type (struct) with a field for an enum that holds the tag & another field for a union that holds the data.

Could we dispense with UTF-16 & UTF-8 in favour of UTF-32 with standard compression & assume everything is little-endian?

Microthesis: we should have 4 types to represent time: civil date, time of day, time-zone, and, finally, a type that represents a distinct point in time that can be converted into a pair containing a civil date & a time of that day by specifying a time-zone.

Earlier in my career I used C++ & Java; I rarely wrote unit tests. I also spent a lot of time debugging my code. The past several years I find myself needing to spend very little time debugging. I've also been using different languages (Go & OCaml) & writing more unit tests.
Hard to tell whether the dramatic reduction in bugs is because I'm using better languages, writing more tests or because I've slowly become a better programmer.
Presumably all of the above but I wonder what the breakdown is.

There's a pervasive false positive issue with all large-scale automated systems that try to find bad content on any platform.
I have a suggestion for letting people address the rare cases where something gets wrongly flagged: let them pay real money to have it investigated properly; if they're exonerated then they get a full refund.

I've now used OCaml for the past 2 years & mostly like it. Were I to start a new personal coding project, I'd do it in F#, which has very similar semantics (and syntax) but better support for maps & far more extensive libraries. If I were going to do something entirely targeted at WASM then I might use Grain instead.
