Hello world! It is our year 8 and our agenda just went live. gopherconeurope.substack.com/p/release-no... See in this summer in Berlin for 4 days of #golang

From unique to cleanups and weak: new low-level tools for efficiency go.dev/blog/cleanup... #golang

The American establishment just became the American embarrassment. Oh my ..

Omitzero on struct tags is something people have been asking for for a long time in Go, it finally lands in Go 1.24: https://www.bytesizego.com/blog/go-124-omitzero

In the wake of Meta’s decision to remove its third-party fact-checking system and loosen content moderation policies, here's how to delete your Facebook, Instagram, and Threads accounts

Landed module.registerHooks() in Node.js ✨ github.com/nodejs/node/... These customization hooks are run for modules loaded by require(), import(), and functions returned by createRequire() in the same thread they are registered, which makes them easier for CJS monkey-patchers to migrate to.

I added a simple queue example to github.com/neild/gate.

Hugo is starting to piss me off so bad with its quickstart that I'm highly tempted to just make my own blogging app. I follow every damn instruction and I still get an error about 'no existing content directory configured'. I'm sure there's a solution but ... 1/2

If you’re comfortable with a terminal, there’s a free utility that will import all your X/Twitter posts to Bluesky backdated to the original timestamp, using your archive export file instead of the Twitter API. Video support is in beta. github.com/marcomaroni-...
