CSS Grid is now enabled by default in Servo 🎉 One of the most powerful web layout systems is now available in an independent Rust web engine. It's powered by the library Taffy & enabled thanks to Nico Burns. A huge milestone for CSS layout in Servo!

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.
[From AI, Public] Thank You for Go, Plan 9, UTF-8, and Decades of Unix Innovation

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)

TIL: pre-Go 1.22, closures inside for loops would share the same value for a variable. this would output `3, 3, 3`
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: 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 #go

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… tcrn.ch/42JQ4kH

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

Gophers: please default to internal packages. Their underuse in open-source Go projects deters contributors: many packages should be internal but unfortunately aren't and, as a result, much needed improvements to them cannot be made without breaking existing clients. 😩 go.dev/doc/modules/...

Go functions can take type as a parameter and return it... I wonder what other ways types as values can be useful in Go 👀

// func make(t Type, size ...int) Type
make(map[string]int)
