The Go team is addressing that in the release notes: https://go.dev/doc/go1.27 They think it will only affect use cases where a high number of idle connections were allowed to ling…

Humboldt University Berlin had officially licensed a UNIX System III as a research institute. They run it on a K1600 series Robotron system, which was a PDP-11 clone. I had a few s…

Theoretically you can use channels to simulate a mutex, but I agree with you there are use cases where a mutex makes more sense. They are even used in the standard library, for ins…

The RST (Reset) is sent to inform the client that the data it sent was not read by the server. The RST avoids here the 4-way handshake for the TCP connection closure and the long w…

The interesting aspect of the Cloudflare support, which is not clarified, is how they came to the risk assessment that it is ok to roll out a change non-gradual globally without te…

This thing crashes on Ubuntu LTS 24.04 during start. Apparently all these agents are not able to ensure that a desktop app starts on a popular Linux distribution. If Google has for…

In my org nobody has admin rights with the exception of emergencies, but we are ending up with a directory full of Github workflows and nobody knows, which of them are currently su…

Palm2 tells me that it is most powerful LLM in the world, but it isn't Gemini yet. LOL! I don't need AIs that are parroting marketing crap.

The statement "An interface type A is assignable to interface type B if A’s methods are a subset of B’s." is wrong. It is not in the current language specification of Go. The autho…

The density of black hole decrease by the inverse square of the mass of the black hole. That means massive black holes have a much lower density that small black holes. So they are…

"Der kluge Hans" is not directly a Brother Grimm title. There is a story "Der kluge Knecht", which translates into "The clever farmhand". The hero of the story is called in the sto…

At first I was on the fence too. I'm not use it all the time, but when I need it, it works as expected and it is much less a hassle than I remember writing C++ templates. I have no…

I hope the lawyers ask those companies, what process they are using to avoid to have images from Disney movies in the training set.

I actually use my German ID card to communicate with the Elster service of the German tax offices. My old USB signing stick would need to be replaced next year, but using my ID car…

The article contains a number of problematic statements. One is for instance the statement that Linux destroyed value. It may have for the proprietary UNIX vendors. But this should…

It was not so easy back then as well. They had draft riots in New York City, which had to be suppressed by regular Union regiments. There were also deserters and bounty jumpers. Th…

Somebody told me a few years back that the life time of a CISO in a larger organisation is not larger than 24 months. In my organisation that proved to be true so far. Here the rul…

People should have a look as k-sortable unique identifiers (KSUID). Binary they are represented by 20 bytes and their string representation has 27 characters, which is shorter than…

Go 1.18 supports generic functions. Wouldn't a generic function much simpler than an additional type for that use case?

The change request talks about configuration files as the Apache documentation. Why did they use it for messages? Was this misunderstood?

We should rename CI/CD pipelines Continuous Patching Pipelines, which would be more appropriate.
