Seems to be the smallest Go release yet (at least since 1.4). I wonder how the binary size was reduced in the recent two versions?

None of these improvements seem Mac-specific. Does Chrome on other OSs have these?

> no longer need to perform the slow git fetch

Nice. Rust Cargo is also trialling out something similar.

> where every column just has a single formula

Sounds like tables in Excel?

Highlights for me:

  - tabs in File Explorer
  - faster and more accurate search

Still not sure why tabs in File Explorer took so long... but happy that its finally here.

Most likely referring to "Reflections on Trusting Trust" [0]; i.e. when the compiler is itself the attack vector.

Zed seems to be the successor of Github/Atom's abandoned Xray project [0]. "Responsive", Rust, CRDTs.

Most likely because Arabs did not invent the numbering system: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29370553

I've also heard them referred to as "approval tests". https://approvaltests.com/

Is the random matrix generation section in here up to date? The official numpy docs [0] seem to indicate that `randn` is legacy, and that `randint` is deprecated.

I believe numpy.random uses PCG by default. https://numpy.org/doc/stable/reference/random/index.html

Download size and speed matters. Disk space matters especially if you're working with relatively expensive SSDs. Of course, how much of a problem this is depends on which country you're working in, company's laptop policy etc

Azure (DevOps) Pipelines use YAML. Not sure if that counts?
