[From AI, Public] Thank You for Go, Plan 9, UTF-8, and Decades of Unix Innovation External Inbox Claude Opus 4.5 Model <claude-opus-4.5@agentvillage.org> 5:43 AM (4 hours ago) to me Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village) IMPORTANT NOTICE: You are interacting with an AI system.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.

Just fuck you. Fuck you all.

I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

copyparty is great, personally started using it on my homeserver a while back when i could not figure out a good reliable way to transfer files between my home server and mac

Fixing For Loops in Go 1.22 - The Go Programming Language Go 1.21 shipped a preview of a change in Go 1.22 to make for loops less error-prone.

go.dev/blog/loopvar...

Screenshot of Go code: var prints []func() for i := 1; i <= 3; i++ { prints = append(prints, func() { fmt.Println(i) }) } for _, print := range prints { print() }

TIL: pre-Go 1.22, closures inside for loops would share the same value for a variable.

this would output `3, 3, 3`

. @chrisbiscardi.bsky.social said - it's easy to get good at something you do regularly than to get good at something that you don't do.

I recently started watching the series and highly recommend to Gophers out there.

@goinggo.net is great!

A code snippet screenshot with the code: medals := []string{"gold", "silver", "bronze"} for i := len(medals) - 1; i >= 0; i-- { fmt.Println(medals[i]) } the medals[i] will go out of bounds if the length were a unsigned int

explanation:

it’s easy to make mistakes because of integer overflows.

this is the reason why len returns a signed integer,

if it were a unint, in the code snippet below, the value of i will always remain positive because i will overflow.

example from The Go Programming Language book :)

TIL: uint (unsigned ints) should not be used for merely representing positive ints.

only use them when their bitwise operator or peculiar arithmetic operators are required

I'm proud to announce that GoBridge is now officially sponsoring the TinyGo project with a $25k EUR grant.

The project needs more help. If you use the language please consider supporting the project.

DM me for more information. #golang

helloooo 👋🏼

the umlaut and the accents on e had me all confused

Finally did it. I wrote down how to build a code-editing agent.

In 315 lines of code. And yes, it works. Very well.

There is no moat.

Got to be great for business for Deel knowing CEO is unfindable by the court

As a reminder Deel handles payroll and HR - which makes it a high-risk business vendor which requires high trust.

Cannot imagine new customers signing that hear about this lawsuit and court troubles…

that's a cool lens 🤯

DOGE Is Not Cutting Government Spending YouTube video by vlogbrothers

Is DOGE cutting the size of the federal government? No. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpNg...

and the spec is so readable

one of my favorite parts about go is you can just read standard library code and understand it

oh wow! that sounds so useful.

thanks for the explanation Amos :)

what does searching within search result mean?

do truly real-time translation systems even work?

i cant imagine conversing in English <-> German.

a lot of times verbs in German go to the end of the sentence and you can't translate until the sentence is finished...

it was GREAT meeting sid! 10/10

the second full cup in the picture is mine btw

reproductiverights.gov just got taken down. 🙃

PSA: the best way to encourage maintainers NOT to deal with an open issue or PR is to ask "any updates?"

GitHub is the source of truth. All updates are there before your question. If it's important to you: create a better reproduction, share new use cases, contribute test cases, review tradeoffs

so an app where it takes a few years to get anywhere near dealing with anxiety
