I've spent the past couple months hand crafting a new B-tree map implementation for Go. It's fast. Faster than Rust's BTreeMap. Faster than the fastest C++ (frozenca/btree). And about 2x faster than my current Go btree (tidwall/btree).

What did you expect? Between iOS 18 and 26 are basically 8 versions, no company keep releasing updates for an 8 versions old OS. Oh wait...
There is a 100% chance that at least one of those mails will say: "I need all of it, what's the ETA?"
I would never have expected that something as "simple" (to the uneducated eye) as printing and parsing floating points could be so complex. Very interesting read- even though I only understand 15-20% of it. Especially love to see this: "I expect some form of this Go code to ship in Go 1.27"
“Floating-Point Printing and Parsing Can Be Simple And Fast”
The fastest known floating-point printer and parsing algorithms - fixed-width printing, shortest-width printing, and parsing, all in 400 lines of Go.

Accepted! Go 1.26 will introduce errors.AsType — a modern, type-safe alternative to the clunky errors.As.
No reflection. No runtime panics. Concise code. This is big!

Pretty neat addition. Looking forward to use it.
Really big age release coming tomorrow! 🎅🏻
- native post-quantum keys
- built-in recipients for hw plugins
- age-inspect tool
- plugin framework
- batchpass plugin
- many improved error messages

Very entertaining, yet informative talk as always! I always look forward for the GCSotU talks.

waybar-weather v0.2.4 is out. Some exciting new features were added: GPSd for geolocation lookup, an alternate text template to show current or forecasted weather by clicking the widget and i18n support for all displayable elements.
Check it out! github.com/wneessen/way...

It's especially ironic, given that Go was CF's main language some years ago.
So tempted to write a troll thread on how this incident shows Rust has bad error handling and wouldn’t have happened in Go, where we actually handle errors 🫣🫢😜

At least not a "winmail.dat" 😄
waybar-weather v0.2.0 is out and removes the depencency on Geoclue by implenting its own geolocation sub/pub bus. It also is now fully customizable via templates, allowing the user to make it look like they want.
Feedback is, as always, welcome!

Safe yourself from the absolute hell that is LinkedIn. The brainrot over there is even bigger than on TikTok
Was fun watching and chatting! Looking forward for the next one.
Serious take: the solution to Safe Browsing false positives like the Immich one is passkeys.
Phishing regularly upends people's lives. The Safe Browsing cat-and-mouse with all its opaque false positives will be necessary until we roll out phishing-resistant auth.

It's been 14 months since the ML-KEM spec was published.
age still isn't PQ because it's waiting for trivial details of the HPKE hybrids to stabilize, but they are blocked on the CFRG.
The TLS, SSHM, and LAMPS (X.509) IETF WGs are not waiting for CFRG. I just posted a plea for HPKE to do the same.
