Valve time is an industry term used jokingly with game/software/update releases from Valve, used to acknowledge the difference between the "promised" date for released content stated by Valve and the "actual" release date.

Sometimes (moretimes?) I feel like macOS is run by Microsoft.

Suddenly I need to generate HTML pages in Go. Any good libs besides html/template ?

html/template works fine but I'm not a fan of writing:

languages: [{{ range .Langs }}'{{.Code}}', {{ end }}],

that in <noscript> isn't well parsed by VSCode (due to extra {{ and }}). Curious is there a better templating engine. Thanks in advance.

Hot take:

What if Claude generates tooooo much unneeded code just to waste your tokens and pay more?

🤔🤔🤔

Embrace outages, and build redundancy.

I'm always curious why someone is using outdated Go? I mean, I understand it's hard to migrate DB because of data but from my exp Go update is mostly bumping 1 line in CI config.

Yeah, there were rough edges but mostly everything was fine..weird.

AFAIR there was a problem with preemptive scheduler for cpu-intensive tasks (which happened in Go 1.14 not 1.16)

also, DRAFT Go 1.26 release notes

> The Green Tea garbage collector, previously available as an experiment in Go 1.25, is now enabled by default after incorporating feedback.
> The baseline runtime overhead of cgo calls has been reduced by ~30%.
> The compiler can now allocate the backing store for slices on the stack in more situations, which improves performance
