In Portugal we have "café com cheirinho", coffee with a nice smell. Coffee is drunk with bagaço, aguardente or medronho.

Interesting how other countries also have this culture

I work with a Go monorepo and set up Bazel for a couple of services that used CGo. It took a while but was painless to set up.

> The world is like a ride in an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly colored and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question: "Is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say: "Hey, don't worry, don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride."

Mild Spoilers.

I will always have a special place for Babylon 5. One time I was watching it with my father who lived under a dictatorship, watched a scene with Mr Morden and Lando, immediately said "this kind of talk is meant to put people against other people". He didn't care much for the extraterrestrial part of the show but was very interested in portrayal of authoritarianism.

In Go, if one would ignore the error, it could result in a panic or the program would continue with some unexpected state. Go projects work on an honour system and either return Nils with errors or empty structs.

Pprof doesn't tell you if something was leaked aka still around.

I fixed a leak recently because of misuse of a slice with code like

slice = append(slice[1:], newElement)

I only figured it out by looking at the pprof heap endpoint output and noticed there were multiple duplicate entries.
