If you make HTTPS requests or have other TLS clients and care about MITM attacks, you need to update today. If you run Go: go get go@1.27.3 If you run Homebrew: brew update brew install ca-certificates If you run Linux, maybe stay off the internet for now.

The fact that the US government specifically ordered the suspension of Fable access to non-US citizens (www.anthropic.com/news/fable-m...) raises exactly the kind of technological sovereignty concerns I discussed in my QCon keynote a few months ago (www.infoq.com/presentation...)

I just want to purchase something from your store. I do not want to make an account first nor do I want to do a survey afterwards. Take my money, give me the merchandise, and disappear. That is all you need to do and all I want you to do.

“Life is too short to be a sysadmin, unless you really like that, or unless it's your job.” I love that quote and going to frame it 🙇‍♂️

The AI harness engineering hype is basically just people finding out that with leaner design, good encapsulation, simpler code, improved tools, working CI/CD and precise documentation one can be more effective at writing correct code.

We (@chris.blue and I) did an interview for the @antithesis.com Bug Bash podcast. It was an interesting discussion!

Do you have an idle cluster? Can you spare a couple core-years? Help me bruteforce some test vectors for RSA key generation edge cases! Here are the instructions, it's just a matter of running a single self-contained cross-compilable Go binary that will report the results autonomously.

Life's comes at you fast, and so do new releases of yzma! Use pure Go for hardware accelerated local inference on Vision Language Models & Tiny Language Models. 0.9.0 out now with API improvements, model downloading, & more. github.com/hybridgroup/... #golang #llama #vlm #tlm

Go 1.25 Release Notes [Discussion]

FastCGo: How people behind Prom++ made calls from Go into C 16.5 times faster (ru). Great post, full of low-level technical details #golang (the browser's auto-translation does a decent job of translating the text into English) habr.com/ru/companies...

Little Bobby Tables had a brother

some interesting discussion here around protocol strategy and resistance to centralization

I have not paid a ton of attention to the uproar over RTO policies, bc we are all in on distributed teams and not going back. My impression (via social media) has been that these were shadow layoffs. Last month I asked an investor why they are doing RTO. He said: "Retention, mostly. And morale."

@metalmatze.de hi, we’ve met at kubecon and we talked about a project for benchmark trend visualization. If you found it again, I would love to see it. Thank you so much for the recommendation.

🧨 Go 1.24.0 is released! 📝 Release notes: go.dev/doc/go1.24 ⬇️ Download: go.dev/dl/#go1.24.0 #golang

With more #golang conferences and meetups joining BlueSky, here is a starter pack with the ones I've seen so far! Did I miss any? Please ignore the fact that I can't remove myself from my own list! go.bsky.app/FLz8Wx8

Just finished "The Go Programming Language" by Donovan and Kernighan. Extremely well structured and well written book, as might be expected from these authors. #golang amzn.eu/d/56ngvEn Why read a book about a programing language instead of just learning it online? (1 of 4)

The #golang encoding/json/v2 proposal is live! Huge props to Joe Tsai for the hundreds of hours he poured into this project. github.com/golang/go/is...

weak.Pointer (Go 1.24+), runtime.AddCleanup (Go 1.24+), and sync.Map combine wonderfully into a 20-lines weak map. #golang It associates values to keys, with automatic garbage collection once the key becomes unreachable. Using it to tie precomputed FIPS keys to PrivateKey values we can't modify.

Pro tip ⚠️ Search in all repos for these comments: - This must not happen - This should not happen - Why is this happening - but why - Forgive me - I know I know - Ok so - I cannot believe - This is ridiculous - I give up - Abandon all hope You're welcome

Your periodic reminder about the Bluesky network analyzer, a surprisingly useful tool for finding people you know who you probably intended to be following if you knew they were here. It's eerily good, especially if you use "favour niche accounts" mode. bsky-follow-finder.theo.io

I don’t know who needs to hear it but defaults write com.google.Chrome URLBlocklist -array-add example.com works system-wide without giving access to all your browsing to some extension.

How am I only learning now about Context.AfterFunc!! pkg.go.dev/context#Afte... #golang

Did you know you that you can run Go 1.24rc1 (or any other version) by just setting an environment variable? $ GOTOOLCHAIN=go1.24rc1 go version go: downloading go1.24rc1 (darwin/arm64) go version go1.24rc1 darwin/arm64 This is supported since Go 1.21 (August 2023). go.dev/doc/toolchain

I wrote up how my NAS is now just a big initramfs based on Alpine Linux. words.filippo.io/frood/ It's been pretty great. Immutable, declarative, and very very simple. Just some files, a list of packages, and a short script.

TIL: go.mod can automatically upgrade the version of Go and the toolchain by running a command: go mod edit go@latest go mod edit toolchain@latest #golang

Here are the slides for my talk at London Gophers about what's coming in #golang 1.24! With a special thanks to @bboreham.bsky.social for spotting that I forgot swiss maps 🙈

I’m still collecting raspberry pis to give out at @socallinuxexpo.bsky.social Printing cases and getting sd cards and power supplies If you have a pi you’re willing to donate (any model) I will pay you to ship it to me

Typical. Share internally an article about high performance, web and digital decay => zero reaction. Share internally the link to a monospace font => blow up the house and people are talking about it non stop.

GDE for cloud starter pack go.bsky.app/JN4LV1r

I created a #StarterPack for #GoogleDeveloperExperts (#GDE) in #WebTechnologies. Check it out if you want to find some inspiring people in the #Web ecosystem! bsky.app/starter-pack...

Need more #golang gophers in my feed!

Time to expand the homelab: selfh.st

batch exporter go.dev/play/p/bRuE4... I write this pattern many times with different edge cases. This is a basic one. #golang

I have been going to IETF meetings for more than a year now, talking publicly about it as our likely venue, and getting advise from a variety of standards folks. the standards process is long, and we need multiple stakeholders/implementations on-board before we start. happy to chat!

Mind blown🤯! Did you know GOFLAGS can swap out package imports for local testing in Golang AND Pulumi? Check it out 👀 #Pulumi #IaC #DevOps #Golang #Cloud

You can never just learn Linux. Mfs keep changing and messing with things on all levels. The things that you learnt how to do last year? Sorry it's deprecated.

#golang tip: in general, use external test packages. That is, use "package foo_test" in your _test.go files. Why? It forces you to use the exposed API, which is ultimately what matters, and changes less with internal refactors.

Looks like Go #golang will be adding stdlib support for zstd compression at some point 🎉 github.com/golang/go/is...

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #2,817,904!

Now that Microsoft has finally fixed WASI support in VSCode, I published the first ever WASM WASI LSP for VSCode! https://kristoff.it/blog/first-html-lsp/

I want to see a double blind study where nerds are shown a Chrome navigation session with uBO and one with uBO Lite (the MV3 version) and are asked to point out the one where Google "blocked" the ad-blocker. Like wine snobs with blind wine tastings.
