My close friend @iris_meredith published this on corporate norms around "Who is allowed to know things" at companies. Tech debt isn't real unless someone in power affirms it in a PowerPoint.

I love it and have made the same point. On Hackernews, it was accused of being "extreme left wing content" and the author is trying to "seed violent ideas into the minds of mentally unstable people".
Read it, and if you liked it, please send Iris some positive vibes.
Having an emoji rendering issue in Linux led me to deep-dive into emojis internals. 🤷
So why not share it? 😅
Also, I learned that emojis can be joined together to produce other emojis, which is one of the cutest things in the emoji universe.

@hotdogsladies oh damn, is that Alexander??
I've started slowly getting back to the habit of writing on my small blog, any feedback y'all have is greatly appreciated (and I'll owe you a beer for it).
I've written a blogpost on joining errors with the built-in errors package in Go.
Joined errors are a variant of error wrapping with slightly different semantics; I haven't seen them used all that much!
Let me know what you think! ^^ #golang #go

Dmitri finds out how to solve differential equations
I'm particularly excited for what my teammate @matt is co-presenting about integrating Beyla with Alloy for eBPF auto-instrumentation!
Later on during the day, we'll also show a sneak peek of what my team has been cooking recently; I'm _so_ excited about what's coming out there!! 🙌🤫
#Grafana Labs is hosting #ObservabilityCon once more, this year in NYC!🗽
The opening keynote will be live streamed at 17:00 UTC ➡️https://grafana.com/events/observabilitycon/2024/keynote-livestream/ 👀
@nblr https://sunlight.live/ for a live view if you're into this kind of stuff ^^
Admittedly, it really took handholding and patience from the Go team there, which I really appreciate 😅
On to the next one!
I've landed my first compiler PR for golang/go 🎉
It optimizes `[]byte(str1 + str2)` conversions by making them a single step instead of first concatenating the string and _then_ copying the result in a new slice.

dude idfk if i maintain this shit at all its some kind of miracle. like i can barely maintain myself let alone some software i made out of desperation. like just fucking do what you want with this shit i do not care. try not to be evil with it i guess, but no matter what i write here some jackass will find a way to ruin it.

Reminder that #Vim and #Neovim have the special `=` register that gives you the result of an expression.
Most basic example would be a calculation. For example, I'm configuring the cache_size in the config file for davfs2. It takes a value in MiB. I'd like to set it to 50 GiB, so I can simply, in insert mode, hit Ctrl-R and then type
=50*1024
and hit return, and Vim will insert 51200.
See `:h @=` and `:h i_CTRL-R` for details.

In 2022, I left Google in search of a sustainable approach to open source maintenance. A year later, I was a full-time independent professional open source maintainer.
Today I’m announcing the natural progression of that experiment: Geomys, a small firm of professional maintainers with a portfolio of critical Go projects.
Nicola Murino, the maintainer of x/crypto/ssh, and @dominik, the maintainer of Staticcheck and Gotraceui, are Geomys’ first Associate Maintainers ✨
