The Go Checksum Database guarantees that every single Go build uses the same source for a given module version.

actually that editing syntax predates computers by more than a century: it's traditional copyeditor markup!

My prediction is AI will be mentioned at least once

This is the single most overrated image on the internet. Pisses me off how every time I see it, it has thousands of Likes.
I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

That’d be a „Sanitärhaus". Sanitätshäuser sell wheelchairs, crutches, bandages, etc
Also, go to any baker and buy some crusty bread
If the weather is sunny and clear, going up the tv tower at Alexanderplatz is good fun. Looks like you may be out of luck though. Second the Currywurst and Döner recs (esp the point about looking for slightly grotty looking places), but the best meal I had recently was at Bertie in Schwedter Straße
