The module cache in Go 1.11 can sometimes cause various errors, primarily if there were previously network issues or multiple go commands executing in parallel, where the workaround would then be to delete GOPATH/pkg (or run 'go c

I think the initial vgo discussion and versioned Go modules proposal effectively said "developers expect semver; semver is helpful; Go is officially adopting and requiring semver". At the same time, I think there was also some dis

Makes sense. I guess the way I would summarize it is I believe the end-to-end Go system is 100% compliant with semver 2.0 spec. (And that is true to my knowledge even though there happens to be an internal-only 'semver' packag

Hi Steve, I've looked at this relatively carefully, and I believe that Go does 100% follow the semver spec (modulo any bugs in the implementation). However, while that happens to be my personal belief, I am not any type of world-class

I would guess they are fairly focused on it at this point. They are releasing microcode update mitigations for the CPUs of today, and at least state they will be improving things in the CPUs of the future, which is more-or-less what one mig

As far as I can tell, one bit of news to me at least in this Intel whitepaper from today is that the microcode update to mitigate “variant #2” would be needed for Broadwell+, rather than the Skylake+ that had been stated yesterday on LKML.

People had been waiting on more details of the Intel microcode update, for example from kernel mailing list yesterday mid-day: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/1/4/696

If interested, you can see their work-in-progress main.rs in the related code revision[0], which includes their Rust code calling down to the C function Py_Initialize() to spin up the now-embedded CPython interpreter that is living "in

... and now looks like the HN headline was improved to be more representative of the content compared to the earlier headline.

Initial reaction to headline was it sounded like (a) no more python, and (b) this is a decided future direction. Instead, it sounds like this is a proof-of-concept for flipping the main 'hg' command from being python + C extension

Fair point, but worth noting that compared to the migration plan discussed at ng-conf in March, this is now an improved plan. For example, from the post just published: Wasn't the original upgrade plan to use the new Component Route

This is kind of awesome. "Sys admin" type usage definitely drives adoption/popularity/usage of a language (e.g., see perl; and people like doing sysadmin stuff with ruby). I would love, love to have something close to
