I just released znkr.io/diff v1.0.0-beta.4 with basic support for colored unified diffs.

Murderbot is probably my favorite misfit

proposal: add uuid generator to stdlib · Issue #23789 · golang/go Currently we generate uuid/guid with external packages or original implementations using crypto/rand etc... And in some cases you use other languages' library... As I argued on golang-nuts, I propo...

go.dev/issue/23789

UUID is a standard with 8 different versions for generation and a dozen ways to represent the resulting number. Then there’s ULIDs and others that all solve the same problem in a different way. IMHO, UUIDs are overrated.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

I wrote about why I published a new Go diffing library and what I learned from building it.

Das Wort ist Agitation. Jetzt wird das überall verbreitet und was hängen bleibt, ist dass die CxU gegen die AfD kämpft und die Linken nicht. Ich glaube er versucht euch Gegenpol zu schaffen zu der Diskussion wie die Politik der CxU der AfD hilft.

Thanks for the recommendation. Just finished volume 2 and I am thoroughly enjoying it. I.e. I am making unwise decisions and am not getting enough sleep…

Thank you! My mental analogy used to be SQL injection, but I like yours better: No amount of escaping will help here and we probably need changes to the underlying architecture to mitigate this problem.

The GopherCon EU videos are online. I really enjoyed @misago.org’s about testing/synctest. But there were so many good talks, maybe watch them all?

Hawaiian gopher shirt pattern.

Heading home from #GopherCon 2025 in NYC. As usual, many people asked how to get one of the amazing Go gopher Hawaiian shirts by Renee French. I've posted the details at github.com/rsc/gophersh.... (I know one person who has made pajama pants with the pattern. Socks might be nice too.) Enjoy!

If they want trans men to become common in girls locker rooms, they want men to be common in girls locker rooms. They either don’t understand that, or they want to be in girls locker rooms.

Ich verstehe wirklich nicht, wie man das was Katja geschrieben hat als Oberlehrerhaft verstehen kann. Sie hat ganz klar gesagt, dass es jedem selbst überlassen ist sich zu freuen oder nicht zu freuen und ausgedrückt, dass es sie auch nicht darüber freuen kann.

It’s really mean that you hook me on a book that’s completely sold out.

GitHub - znkr/diff: A difference algorithm module for Go A difference algorithm module for Go. Contribute to znkr/diff development by creating an account on GitHub.

I used some evenings of my vacation to further optimize github.com/znkr/diff and benchmarked it against other diff implementations. If I didn’t make a mistake with the benchmarks it’s now more than 10x as fast as the Go implementation of diffmatchpatch, which is the most used Go module for diffing.

My parents used to buy raw milk from a farmer in our village until I learned how dangerous it was and educated them about the risks. I still remember how shocked I was when I found out and I must have made quite the impression, because they switched immediately and never bought raw milk again.

proposal: spec: expression to create pointer to simple types · Issue #45624 · golang/go This notion was addressed in #9097, which was shut down rather summarily. Rather than reopen it, let me take another approach. When &S{} was added to the language as a way to construct a pointer to...

It’s a clever workaround to go.dev/issue/45624. IMHO, it’s too clever

Oh, I get it. Yeah, historically Mac OS (before OS X) use to store the character set and Windows use to have a system code page. Linux could probably require UTF-8 now, except that that works definitely break someone somewhere.

This was before UTF-8 was the norm and people used different character sets depending on the language. The alternative at the time was to store the character set together with the filename somehow and have restrictions based on the character set. It will not have been simpler.

Almost every project I start needs a diff algorithm at some point, but I never found a Go module that did what I wanted. So I wrote my own: github.com/znkr/diff. If you have any feedback, especially on the API, please let me know.

As a child wondered about why contemporary art is so free of cars while they are literally everywhere. Even vacation pictures have very few cars in them. Today, I believe it’s because nobody actually likes cars but everyone is in denial about it.
