Idea for innovative new California law:
A tech company must work as hard to remove you as a lapsed customer as they did to woo you as a non-customer.

I can't want to see invasive pop-up ads on every web page saying "Alan, you haven't watched Hulu for nearly a month... click here to unsubscribe."

I feel obliged to disclose my first-ever success with vibe coding. Yesterday I got Gemini to build this tool to aid comprehension of musical rhythm: morpho.blog/subdiv/subdi...
(If on iPhone, be sure your phone is not in silent mode.)
Took about 2 hours. Would have taken me a (fun) day.

The folks behind GopherCon 2025 have kindly shared video recordings of our talks; here's mine on modernizer tools for Go. Special thanks to the amazing Stacy Potenza for turning my rapid limey nerd mumbling into comprehensible closed captions.

@davidcrespo.bsky.social I have really been enjoying your posts, BTW, which have forced me to confront many of my AI-hating priors. (Still hate AI but at least now I recognize some of my irrationality and goalpost-mobility!)
So thanks.

What's new in gopls 21:

Please try it out:

Act I:
Waiter: Is everything ok with your order?
Diner: Just one thing. This steak... it's actually a huge shit.
Waiter: Oh, I'm so sorry, let me fix that.
Diner: Thanks. [...] Wait, this new one is also a huge shit.
Waiter: No it's not, it's a steak, just like you asked for.

Hi @erikdmartin.bsky.social 👋. Do you know when videos of this year's GopherCon talks are expected? Thanks.

@mattyglesias.bsky.social you say "movie tickets are in fact cheaper in real terms" after adjusting for inflation. But doesn't that just mean ticket prices grew less than the "basket" average? And if your wages grew even less than the average, then "cheaper, inflation adjusted" is no comfort at all.

Gopls v0.20.0 is released: go.dev/gopls/releas...
$ go install golang.org/x/tools/[email protected]
Docs at go.dev/gopls.
Thanks to all who contributed!

@jmmv.dev I liked your Bazel reproducibility post. I wonder: does Bazel have an option to try each build action twice and check consistency? This would make it easy to diagnose nondeterminism when you suspect it. CI systems could do it with some nonzero probability too.

@seanmcarroll.bsky.social Enjoyed your 2 books on GR, QFT. Steep climb! In final third of both, had to get comfortable with only the loosest grasp. (I have only 1990s A-level + lay reading of Feynmann lectures.) But left with impression of how physics is done. Many thanks!

Please try out the gopls pre-release and report any problems!
$ go install golang.org/x/tools/[email protected]
