Call for Proposals for GoLab 2026 is open on Sessionize and I've just submitted a session about auditing Go code bases sessionize.com/golab-2026/ - Would you attend it ?

Drupal AI Summit Paris 2025 - Program Drupal is an open source platform for building amazing digital experiences. It's made by a dedicated community. Anyone can use it, and it will always be free.

TIL how to get the size of a PR in a @golang.org project still using vendoring, and not counting the size of the vendor/ but just the actual changes. Key here is (exclude):

git diff --shortstat master...HEAD -- . ':(exclude)vendor/'

#git magic FTW

Solution: go.dev/play/p/2fmqd...

#golang quiz. What does this code do:
```go
package main

type NonComparable struct {
any
fn func()
}

func main() {
var m = make(map[any]bool)
var msg any = NonComparable{fn: func() {}}
m[msg] = true
}
```

- Does not compile
- Runs and displays nothing
- Panics at runtime

Conference is still ongoing fir 1.5 day...

Randy Fay (@ddev@fosstodon.org ?) just made the most relevant observation about both #drupal and #genai I had failed to make in the last 18 months. It's been right in front of us and we still don't see it www.linkedin.com/posts/randyf...

Think (slogan) - Wikipedia

@brittanyellich.com nice talk at @gopherconeu.bsky.social ! I was wondering if you were aware of the old IBM "Think" slogans when you created these slides en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Think_(...

Very interesting tool developed by Redhat to observe the state of goroutines in your #golang programs, just presented at
@gopherconeu.bsky.social : github.com/openshift-on... : definitely one step up from just pprof goroutine labeling

The Gen X Career Meltdown (Gift Article) Just when they should be at their peak, experienced workers in creative fields find that their skills are all but obsolete.

So you would like to write more reliable software ?

I just published a presentation about how to model software with TLA+, meant for software engineers, not mathematicians/logicians.

Math notation for Union(Powerset(S)) = S

Special bonus for #mistralai for rendering the formula correctly, though

Friday fun.

Ask your favorite AI chat "In general math, is it true that UNION (POWERSET(S)) = S for any set S".

So far, most attempts I made get a "No, it is not", then an explanation of why it is not, ending in the best cases with the conclusion that it is true...

Chesterton’s Fence: A Lesson in Thinking A core component of making great decisions is understanding previous decisions. If we don’t understand how we got “here,” we run the risk of making things much worse.

TIL about Chesterton's fence. In the context of a project planning session, no less.

And it's really interesting, you know ? Especially in that context.

Three Go slices sharing a common backing array

When developing in #golang, slices are fast and convenient, but their implementation sometimes yields unexpected results due to data sharing.

With the latest article in my - free - Go blog at osinet.fr/go/en/articl..., learn how that data sharing works, to use or avoid it depending on your needs.

The Whitworth Three Plates Method — Eric Weinhoffer By using the Three Plates Method, developed by Joseph Whitworth, flat surfaces can be created by using gravity and a simple hand-scraping tool, or by lapping the plates against each other.

It's not every day one learns something about the basics of machinery invented in the early XIXth century. Could you imagine how to create a really flat surface for machining starting from raw material ? Fascinating. ericweinhoffer.com/blog/2017/7/...
