You'll never see my child's face
I became a dad recently, and I’m not publishing a bunch of photos of my kid like most parents do. Some people started asking me why, so here it is.
How Go 1.26 stack allocation optimizations beat hand-optimized code
#592 — March 6, 2026 Read the Web Version Go Weekly Allocating on the Stack in Go 1.25+ — Go 1.25 and 1.26 reduce garbage collector overhead by stack-allocating slices in more cases than ever before — including, in 1.26, slices th...
Mutate your locked state inside a closure
Why your mutex wrapper should accept a closure for mutation instead of a plain value, with examples from the standard library and Tailscale.

Notes on Lagrange Interpolating Polynomials
Polynomial interpolation is a method of finding a polynomial function that fits a given set of data perfectly. More concretely, suppose we have a set of n+1 distinct points [1]: \[(x_0,y_0), (x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2)\cdots(x_n, y_n)\] And we want to find the polynomial coefficients...

Notes on Linear Algebra for Polynomials
We’ll be working with the set P_n(\mathbb{R}), real polynomials of degree \leq n. Such polynomials can be expressed using n+1 scalar coefficients a_i as follows: \[p(x)=a_0+a_1 x + a_2 x^2 + \cdots + a_n x^n\] Vector space The set P_n(\mathbb{R}), along with …
What canceled my Go context?
How Go 1.20's WithCancelCause and Go 1.21's WithTimeoutCause let you attach a reason to context cancellation, plus a gotcha with manual cancel and the stdlib pattern that covers every path.
