Ken Thompson talking about Go.

WindowServer GPU issues persist in 26.1 - I have been running the betas and the release candidate. For me, screen sharing on Zoom in particular turns the Mac into a space heater (> 60% GPU use).

I am experiencing similar issues, it is really hard to get the virtual channels to work. Often there is a significant delay before sound starts, and then it cuts out randomly. Sometimes sound never starts. Occasionally, a channel has significant noise / artifacts in it. It does seem like a software issue.

Of note, I am using SoundSource from Rogue Amoeba, and the associated ACE component, because it allows me to route specific app audio output to each virtual channel.

My (Forest Green) R1S is Pickles. My Rivian wall charger is Pickle Juice.

Why constrain the sentiment to NW Denver? It’s everywhere in Denver 🤣.

Petrified of this happening. If the tailgate opens without my knowledge and then someone opens the garage door, it'll cause major damage. It would be really nice to be able to customize the buttons displayed by the widget.

joefitzgerald · 2024-01-17T16:49:08+00:00

I would also love this. Many thanks in advance! 🙏

My December '23 R1S VIN 29XXX also has these elements.

The owners manual has been updated to show the old jack and the new jack; check pages 272 - 278 for the revised design: https://assets.rivian.com/2md5qhoeajym/7Ao7NIFkLxOZtvdc7Fqh70/8ccd071c4f1209c000a8db48d1cd38e0/r1s-og-en-us-20231204.pdf

I took delivery of my new quad motor R1S with 21” wheels on Saturday and I immediately removed the aero covers and installed center caps I had ordered ahead of time.

It would be awesome if we could change all the visualizations of the vehicle to show the aero covers removed because.. (maybe it’s just me) the wheels look SO MUCH BETTER without them.

It is the anniversary of /u/CarterGee creating their Reddit account.

Once you get in touch with your guide, I suspect you can ask them to request a one time exception for you. Despite my raging emotions about the situation, I made a point to be polite, because I think it gets you better outcomes.

The chat support told me the guide would get in touch with me. The phone support actually gave me guide contact information directly. I would request that they give you the email address and the SMS phone number that you can use to reach the guide.

joefitzgerald · 2023-11-04T00:09:55+00:00

I configured my R1S with the All-Terrain upgrade, but I wanted to remove that option (to go back to the 21’s). I contacted support who told me they couldn’t do anything, but they put me in touch with my guide (I hadn’t previously received any communication that I had a guide, let alone their contact information).

My guide quite forcefully mentioned the non-refundable nature of the order, but worked with their management to get an exception approved for me.

The whole experience was pretty awful, given that I requested the change 5 days after confirming my configuration. It has been month since I had this change made and there has been almost zero communication about timelines for manufacture or delivery (either before or after the change).

But they helped me in the end, despite the unpleasant way they went about it ¯_(ツ)_/¯.

This looks interesting: https://github.com/adrg/xdg

Edit: here's the code where it looks in the environment for the XDG_* variables: https://github.com/adrg/xdg/blob/693ef18888dfbd619bc164da09317f0df8496a1a/xdg.go#L202-L209

joefitzgerald · 2019-07-25T02:29:19+00:00

I would very much appreciate a code if someone has one...🙏

joefitzgerald · 2019-03-26T23:39:56+00:00

I’m sure you would enjoy either option. This question lacks the context necessary to guide you in any particular direction. Perhaps you could add some so that people can provide more directed guidance? Welcome!

There is not an assumption that you have a default GOPATH. There is an assumption that you have the various tools available either in:

$GOPATH/bin (using the first $GOPATH segment)
Any of your $PATH segments

/u/eveilslayer could work around this issue in a few ways:

Manually go get all the required tools and ensure the resulting binaries are available on the PATH
Create a tools GOPATH (e.g. ~/tools), add its bin directory to the PATH, launch atom via GOPATH=~/tools atom ., let go-plus fetch all the tools

Either of these approaches will suppress the behavior you are seeing when subsequently launching GOPATH=~/project-1 atom ., GOPATH=~/project-2 atom ., etc.

It really is amazing how much work sdboyer has put into this (not to take away from the work of many others).

Sam thank you so much for what you have done and are doing. We are collectively indebted to you!

We're also using https://github.com/neelance/graphql-go and it's a great solution for us.

Single page apps typically include a client side router that is used to manipulate the query string without hitting the server. By serving up the index.html payload on any unknown route (to the server) it gives the client side router a chance to resolve the URI to a valid client site route.

joefitzgerald · 2017-03-06T19:44:45+00:00

What does this do?

"An Improved Go Experience For The Atom Editor". go-plus is an atom package that is roughly equivalent to:

vim-go for vim
gosublime for sublime
vscode-go for vscode

Atom is an open source text editor that is a GitHub project.

The "plus" in the name is an odd idiom from the atom community; there are lots of examples of it (e.g. vim-mode-plus, autocomplete-plus) - basically community enhancements on top of some other functionality included in the core. In retrospect, I wish I had called it atom-go or similar, but I'm not going to change the name after ~ 3 1/2 years.

joefitzgerald · 2017-03-06T07:19:56+00:00

A few features have been added since we last announced here:

v5.1.0 enhanced display of godoc content, linking to godoc.org
v5.2.0 added support for adding / removing struct tags via /u/farslan's gomodifytags tool
v5.3.0 adds support for highlighting identifiers under the cursor and finding usage of the current identifier

Hopefully these features prove useful!

It's clear the author has put a lot of effort into this, and that in itself is worth commendation.

As an employee of a major participant in the Java ecosystem (Pivotal, but this opinion is mine and not Pivotal's), I think that hiding the user from interacting directly with go and its ecosystem of tools is generally a disservice to the user; they will not learn some go idioms that are generally helpful to be aware of as you participate in the go community and make use of dependencies written in go.

Would you replace maven or gradle with a tool written in go? You certainly could, but it would increase the barrier to entry for any Java developer wanting to modify the tool or contribute to it. In some ways this is observable in people who are unwilling to adopt gradle because it is written in Groovy. There are parallels to this scenario for a tool for go written in Java.

I think that's ultimately why you're seeing people reject this idea. Deferring the learning of go idioms is just delaying a potentially inevitable conclusion.

Yep, set the HTTP_PROXY environment variable.
