Agree with https://t.co/6KnBi5I79J that Go has simplified concurrency, but there's still lots of room for mistakes. Case in point, the concurrency example in the post has a bug -- a timeout leads to stuck goroutines. Concurrency needs care, regardless of the language.

New experimental approach to Go errors: Automatically wrap errors with function information on return. Unlike a stack, errtrace maintains context as errors are passed over channels or across goroutine boundaries: https://t.co/PpuJ2yF1Bu
inspired by Zig's error return traces

These are the kinds of fun and challenging problems I got to solve while at Uber, glad to see this blog post talk about both Dynamic Subsetting but also the overall architecture of the service mesh that we built!

[Uber Engineering @UberEng]

New blog! Our Software Networking engineering team dives into an iterative improvement to Uber’s service mesh: Real-time Dynamic Subsetting for large scale distributed systems. Learn how it improved load balancing with CPU utilization efficiency gains!

@kelseyhightower https://t.co/6eTGPH7U5T can help with this: `defer multierr.AppendInto(&err, multierr.Close(rows))`

@thockin I generally dislike handling panics, and was against it but came around to matching the stdlib behaviour for `zap.Stringer` -- recover handling + printing "<nil>" or "PANIC: [..]". https://t.co/blZSPtTadz

I still miss bundles from Inbox, and recently discovered https://t.co/aMXwTK9Qbh which gives similar functionality, not quite as nice as a native experience, but I do appreciate that it's OSS

TIL about OSC52 (thanks to @_abgu), which allows copy into clipboard even over SSH sessions! https://t.co/F2KeWh6C4F

GoLeak: A Goroutine Leak Detector - https://t.co/siKGRCM3oY (It's still in alpha but you can use this to detect if there are any unexpected goroutines running at the end of a function.)

@kriskowal @akshayshah I think I'm the one that owes you a beverage for wanting to keep it simple! Although it looks like the discussion continues.. https://t.co/0whbUhq5j7

@shurcooL Happy Birthday!

[Prashant V @prashantv]

@shurcooL @rakyll Definitely very interested and happy to help as well!

[Prashant V @prashantv]

@copyconstruct @_peggyli @freeformz @Cassandraoid @sgmansfield @rakyll I can join after dinner around 9!

[Prashant V @prashantv]

@copyconstruct @rakyll If both were being pulled in, it's possible the old import was still being used somewhere in the project

[Prashant V @prashantv]

@copyconstruct @_peggyli zap hit 1.0 nine days ago, so although it may have worked well before that, the API was still in development.

[Prashant V @prashantv]

@copyconstruct the error I get is "expects import https://t.co/2oJZboUyS7" which seems pretty informative.
