Comprehensive and reproducible benchmarks for Go developers and architects. (by skerkour)

Project mention: Reasons to Prefer Blake3 over Sha256 | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-11-13

At the end of the day, what matters really for most people is
1) Certifications (FIPS...)
2) Speed.
SHA-256 is fast enough for maybe 99,9% of use cases as you will saturate your I/O way before SHA-256 becomes your bottleneck[0][1]. Also, from my experience with the different available implementations, SHA-256 is up to 1.8 times faster than Blake3 on arm64.

Project mention: Compile-time safety for enumerations in Go | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-29

interesting approach! but I typically use this method for type constraints.
for enums I prefer just direct structs: https://github.com/nikolaydubina/go-enum-example
