Time Series Benchmark Suite, a tool for comparing and evaluating databases for time series data

Project mention: Fuzz Testing Is the Best Thing to Happen to Our Application Tests | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-08-17

1. correctness: from small units tests to relatively complex integrations tests. they typically populate a test database and query it via various interfaces, such as REST or the Postgres protocol. we use Azure Pipelines to execute them - testing in MacoOS, Linux (both Intel and ARM) and Windows.
2. performance: we tend to use the TSBS project for most of our performance testing and profiling. fun fact: we actually had to patch it as the vanilla TSBS was a bottleneck in some tests. Sadly, the PR with the improvements is still not merged: https://github.com/timescale/tsbs/pull/186

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.

Go Enum: benchmarks, examples, analysis

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
