In the latest release of Go, I discovered a disquieting new feature: telemetry. It appeared with the 1.23 release. I'm familiar with similar features in Microsoft's solutions, but I didn't expect this from Go. According to the Go dev blog, they decided to include it to assist developers and contributors with bug fixes and improve their work. I remain unconvinced. By default, telemetry operates in a local mode—meaning it runs but does not send data.

You can check the status of telemetry by typing:

go telemetry

...and disable:

go telemetry off

This trend toward telemetry is troubling, and making it enabled by default only reinforces that view. Is traditional reporting of suggestions and issues now considered outdated and insufficiently trendy?

Today, work on version 2.3 of the Box content management system has been initiated. Currently, the feature list is not finalized, and the release date is not yet known. I hope to finish this release in 2 or 3 months. Soon, I will publish more details about new features and plans for this release. Additionally, more news about other plans for this project will be published soon.

It’s very difficult for me to test new features of the new C++ standards on compilers that supports them poorly. For all of my C++ articles I test and try to implement examples containing new things. For this purpose I frequently build weekly snapshots of GCC.
This review contains a small overview of another new things. All of them with my tested examples.

Time is passing very, very fast. 15 years ago I bought my first computer with Linux and... I was sure it had Windows preinstalled. I was wrong. That is the beginning of the story. What was next?

It’s time for a first look at the C++23 standard. A few months ago I wrote a little bit similar article on my previous polish blog. I think, this article will be more complete and will contain more details and informations about more new features.

A the beginning I would like to explain what Flux is. Flux is a small web application which provides online Unix-like shell. It’s not only a shell. I trying to create small web imitation of the operting system. Now, You can find here an implementation of a virtual file system, executor component and virtual applications. I have some ideas for next releases but now I don’t wanna share it with you.

Here we have a second branch of the project. Flux 1 was written in Java language and it was based on the Play framework. Flux 2 was made in C++. Yep, I know what you think… "C++ and web-apps? What the hell is wrong with you?" Many people thinks that C++ developing is very difficult - many times that is true, but if you want to make fast, lighweight and high-level app It can be very, very easy. Sometimes much easier than with PHP.
