it is impossible to generate code comments from source code because good comments are definitionally based on things not in the source code (intent, counterfactuals, experiments, etc.)

69 years ago today, the cornerstone was laid for @coventrycathedral.bsky.social. Designed by Basil Spence, it replaced a medieval church destroyed in WW2.

The ceiling is donated 🇨🇦 cedar. A bronze maple leaf in the floor commemorates this and other 🇨🇦 gifts.

Cooperation + determination > adversity.
Coventry Cathedral from the east, showing the bombed-out ruins of the medieval building on the left, and the modern replacement on the right. Both are faced in red sandstone. The medieval ruin is Gothic, with pointed arches, pinnacles, traceried windows and a tall spire. The new building is modern, with formidable, cliff-like walls punctuated by immensely tall grids of stained glass. The interior of Coventry Cathedral. The vast, lofty space is supported on columns of seemingly impossible slenderness. The intricate, multi-celled ceiling is made of warm-coloured cedar from Canada. The interior of the baptistry at Coventry cathedral, illuminated by a huge wall of modern stained glass panels. The colour and tone are very bright and yellow toward the centre, giving way to deeper reds and blues as one radiates outward. A stylized but immediately recognizable bronze maple leaf, cast in low relief, from the nave floor of Coventry Cathedral.

This is important: is the new Go 1.24 benchmark loop syntax making my code 7x slower, and why?
#golang
func mult(a, b float64) float64 { return a * b } func Benchmark1(b *testing.B) { for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ { mult(3.0, 5.0) } } func Benchmark2(b *testing.B) { for range b.N { mult(3.0, 5.0) } } func Benchmark3(b *testing.B) { for b.Loop() { mult(3.0, 5.0) } }

🚨 Gnarf, nasty supply chain attack on GitHub-hosted projects: if you use the tj-actions/changed-files GH Action and it ran after 9 a.m. PT March 14, it may have leaked secrets in the build logs of your public repos. Recommend rotating those if that's the case.

Dependabot's implementation of Go modules continues to be poor.

FWIW, I recommend Go projects just turn it off, run govulncheck in a scheduled GitHub Action for security updates, and otherwise update dependencies manually when it makes sense in their release cycle.

Every tech company* has platform teams trying to build:

1. Heroku, except hand-rolled
2. One giant shared database, so engineers can ignore analytics without consequence
3. If they have a monolith, microservices. If microservices, a monolith
4. A solution to the halting problem

* Hyperbole. I hope

good morning and welcome to 2025
This is a humorous diagram depicting common elements of cloud architecture, drawn in a casual sketch style. It's organized into several sections: At the top: "Global Assumptions" contains various services connected through a "Frickin' Slick Reverse Proxy" with "CIDR Shenanigans" and a "VPN of Sadness." Middle section: Features "CONTAINERS!!!" with stylized container icons and includes: "Cool Databases" "Event Bus" flowing directly into someone's "RÉSUMÉ" "Real Database" with "Midnight Heroics" and a complex pipeline labeled "The Data Engineers Got Very Excited Here" Bottom section: "Blame Radius" showing different service categories: "Services that Start Stuff" "Services that Stop Stuff" "Services that Like to Watch" "One Tiny Cron Job that Keeps Everything from Failing Apart" Ends with "Data Lake" flowing into "Data Swamp" The image is credited to @forrestbrazeal and uses a light-hearted tone to poke fun at typical cloud architecture complexities.

🎉 I've just released v0.5.0 of jub0bs/cors, my #CORS middleware library for #golang!

🔍 You can now programmatically handle configuration errors. This feature will be useful to multi-tenant SaaS businesses that let their tenants configure CORS: custom error messages FTW!
