I actually still think about those points too FWIW, and sometimes find the techniques really useful. But I also often that constraints _are_ very useful for bridging the gap between real-world Go and generics. So happy with how Go's generics turned out in the end.

It makes me really happy that this talk is (still!) appreciated. Quite surprising but deeply gratifying. #golang

Absolutely loved it, and the sequels. I'd love to see more.

I think you drew my Hoover.

The fact that interface declaration is implicit is really useful for:
- post-facto interfaces (surprisingly common)
- avoiding cyclic dependencies: a dependency can often deliberately implement an interface defined by a higher level package

Leaving discoverabilty issues aside,in practice, some code must (almost always) explicitly take a value and assign it to an interface. That intentionality, together with full method sigs, means that ambiguity is ~never a problem.

Raspberry gin is to be recommended: easier than wine and good for a present :)
Also: freeze freeze freeze. Winter is coming.

oh yeah, we'll use the quicklime to store the co2 from making the quicklime. sgtm👌

Some nice languages changes here and in the near future. "error" in particular should be a real QoL improver. #cuelang

They do _say_ "CO2 for storage" but that really does depend on having an actual storage mechanism I guess. "We'll put it in a reservoir... until the reservoir breaks"

ZEQL - Zero Emission Quicklime ZEQL [sequel] is an industrial partnership for electrified manufacturing of quicklime co-owned by SMA Mineral and SaltX Technology.

So I presume this is just vapour? www.zeql.com

Hurrah! All the work ($6.50's worth, it seems) has been committed to a branch in my git repo. Nothing is lost.

I wonder whether I've lost all that work now.

@crawshaw.io Half way through my first sketch.dev run. Looking promising so far! One thing I'm really liking is the ability to interject comments while it's thinking and see its trajectory change.

In my head this is a stone cold classic but it's probably been 35 years since I read it; maybe it's not all that good... I'm interested to see how you get on with it!

For the benefit of the ignorant (me) which project is being alluded to here?

It's probably all in encrypted local cache files and in the cloud. It occurs to me that local link generation for self consumption is a fabulous use for tailscale.

I can't see any files for Recorder! but maybe I'm just too new school man because I've forgotten directories exist on mobile devices. What have things come to?

But really, why can't I "Share To" ChatGPT? I wonder if it would work if it was a different media type like jpeg or mp4. Perhaps audio is a second class citizen here.

Hmm, perhaps there's a way of giving ChatGPT on the mobile app permission to download audio from links.

AI newbie question here about practicalities: I've got a Pixel 8, recorded some audio on the Recorder app; how do I get ChatGPT and its app to see and analyze that audio?

Go dependency versions are wrong or outdated for a tagged module version · Issue #251 · google/deps.dev https://deps.dev/go/cuelang.org%2Fgo/v0.13.0 shows that cuelang.org/go@v0.13.0 is vulnerable to https://deps.dev/advisory/osv/GO-2025-3488.

At least for #golang, avoid using deps.dev for now. It seems to be reporting security advisories based on outdated information, and the project seems unmaintained, as I reported this two weeks ago but got nothing at all.

What query language is this?

Since you caught me in between books, I'll mention the next one: The Doors of Eden from @aptshadow.bsky.social. Greatly enjoying so far: effortlessly readable, well thought out ideas, good prose, nice characterisation: ticks all my boxes. Trying hard not to consume in one sitting.

I have just this moment finished The Sea and the Summer, courtesy of a recommendation from @scifiscavenger.bsky.social - a wonderful and prophetic book. Would recommend.

📣 We have just released CUE v0.13.0 - culminating a year's worth of work to enable the new evaluator by default 🎉

It also packs in lots of new features, such as support for absolute module packages, dozens of JSON Schema improvements, and a new experimental XML encoding.

They missed off the X, clearly. Maybe not surprising when the estate agent is a human-plant hybrid. @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social

Never got around to reading Hyperion. Worth it?

Sounds great! I'd be interested to hear about the dynamic music process.

Go Cryptography Security Audit Go's cryptography libraries underwent an audit by Trail of Bits. Read more about the scope and results.

Three Trail of Bits engineers audited core Go cryptography for a month and found only one low-sev security issue... in unsupported Go+BoringCrypto! 🍾

Years of efforts on testing, limiting complexity, safe APIs, and readability have paid off! ✨

Yes I am taking a victory lap. No I am not sorry. 🏆
