How we tracked down a Go 1.24 memory regression
https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/engineering/go-memory-regression/
DatadogHow we tracked down a Go 1.24 memory regression across hundreds of pods | DatadogWe rolled out Go 1.24 and saw a memory regression. Here's how we dug into system metrics, uncovered a bug in the runtime allocator, and worked with the Go team to help fix it.
One thing that really pisses me off personally is the #regression in terms of #Messenger #Apps.
My personal distaste and dislike for #proprietary, #SingleVendor & #SingleProvider #services like #Signal ¹, #Telegram, #Discord ², #WhatsApp ³, #Slack, #MicrosoftTeams, etc. aside:
WHY is there no #CrossProvider #Messenger to handle that shite?
WHY does everyone of these shitty providers think people want to download their #bloated #WebApp that takes up triple digit Megabytes if not entire Gigabytes and will gobble up all the #RAM and #CPU each of them can??
This problem ain't new and already got solved for corporate social media ages ago! (Not to mention actually good messengers!)
I mean
API 0- style access because obviously none of the platforms will allow, endorse or support such an endeavour and actively fight the developers and users !
So yeah, consider this a call for a @gajim / #Gajim or @pidgin / #Pidgin for garbage platforms!

Because physical SIMs, like any "cryptographic chipcard" (i.e. @nitrokey ) did all that fancy public/private crypto on silicon and unless that was compromizeable (which AFAICT always necessistated physical access to the #SIM, espechally in pre-#OMAPI devices) the SIM wasn't 'cloneable' and the weakest link always had been the #MNO /.#MVNO issueing (may it be through #SocialHacking employees into #SimSwapping or LEAs showng up with a warrant and demanding "#LawfulInterception"):
- These "attack vectors" were known and whilst unfixable they could at least be mitigated by i.e. NEVER using a #PhoneNumber for anything and/or using anonymously obtained #SIMs. But more and more services like @signalapp did #regression demanding #PII and more and more nations criminalized #AnonymousSimCards under utterly #cyberfacist & #FalsePretenses!
Add to that the regression in flexibility:
Unlike a #SimCard which was designed as a vendor-independent, #MultiVendor, #MultiProvider, device agnostic unit to facilitate the the #authentification and #encryption in #GSM (and successor standards), #eSIMs act to restrict #DeviceFreedom and #ConsumerChoice, which with shit like #KYC per #IMEI (i.e. #Turkey demands it after 90 days of roaming per year) und #lMEI-based #Allowlisting (see #Australia's shitty #VoLTE + #2G & #3G shutdown!) are just acts to clamp down on #privacy and #security.
- And with #EID being unique per #eSIM (like the #IMEI on top!) there's nothing stopping #cyberfacist regimes like "P.R." #China, #Russia, #Iran, ... from banning "#eSIMcards" (#eSIM in SIM card form factor) or entire device prefixes (i.e. all phones that are supported by @GrapheneOS ), as M(V)NOs see the EID used to deploy/activate a profile (obviously they don't want people to activate eSIMs more than once, unless explicitly allowed otherwise.
"[…] [Technologies] must always be evaluated for their ability to oppress. […]
- Dan Olson
And now you know why I consider a #smartphone with eSIM instead of two SIM slots not as a real #DualSIM device because it restricts my ability to freely move devices.
- And whilst German Courts reaffirmed §77 TKG (Telco Law)'s mandate to letting people choose their devices freely, (by declarong #fees for reissue of eSIMs illegal) that is only enforceable towards M(V)NOs who are in #Germany, so 'good luck' trying to enforce that against some overseas roaming provider.
Thus #Impersonation attacks in GSM-based networks are easier than ever before which in the age of more skilled than ever #Cybercriminals and #Cyberterrorists (i.e. #NSA & #Roskomnadnozr) puts espechally the average #TechIlliterate User at risk.
- I mean, anyone else remember the #Kiddies that fucked around with #CIA director #Brennan? Those were just using their "weapons-grade #boredom", not being effective, for-profit cyber criminals!
And then think about those who don't have privilegued access to protection by their government, but rather "privilegued access" to prosecution by the state because their very existance is criminalized...
The only advantage eSIMs broight in contrast is 'logistical' convenience because it's mostly a #QRcode and that's just a way to avoid typos on a cryptic #LocalProfileAgent link.
@grmlproject As an old #grml user, today I wanted to use grml 2025.05 for the first time.
I wanted to apt update because I needed an additional package, but that failed with:
E: The repository 'http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20250514 testing-security Release' does not have a Release file.
Tried again with 2024.12, no problem, worked like a charm like I'm used to it.
A #regression ? Or a surprise from #debian?
Thanks for the great distro btw!
#statstab #385 Understanding and Implementing Robust Regression in R

New Kitten Release
• Fixed regression: Since we switched the h() render function to return a generator (for seamless async support in html templates), two other methods that were calling h() directly – `kitten.safelyAddHtml()` and `kitten.js()` – had begun to fail. This was also affecting the fetchiverse, streamiverse, and kitten-chat family of examples.
Enjoy!

@leanlearnlead see, this kind of feature regression on top of being more expensive is why #ElectricCars suck in terms of #UX!
- Whereas any gas station I've ever been to (informal road stalls on Siquijor don't count!) accept cash & card without hassles.
The fact that on top of being slower to load than gas up it's less convenient makes it a no-go for me as I'm not privileged to own a house where I can get a #Wallbox installed!

#TIL at work: sometimes, it may be okay to force a linear regression through the origin.
Normally speaking, you should use "y=ax+b" as model for your linear regressions and correlation indices. Because fixing "b=0" introduces a bias in the estimator "a".
However, today, someone argued that if you're using a regression to measure the predictive power of a model with respect to measurement data, you should fix "b=0".
Now, intuitively this makes some sense, but I haven't been able to find clear proof pro or against it.
So, if you know more about this *and* have relevant references to papers to backup your claim, I'd very much love to hear from you. Statistics is not really my field.
