+Would a Plan 9 user please provide an accurate status report of the state of the Go port to the system?
+I wasn't asking about 9front.
+Your "why bother?" question is a good one.
+Your question is answered by the FAQ entry.
+Hip hip hooray.
+Go gets mocked a lot.
+I am done here.
+What's jQuery?
+It's possible but not by writing a single line of code.
+Your "mathematically more correct" claim sounds fishy.
+This statement demonstrates a profound misunderstanding.
+I guess that wasn't very helpful.
+The proposed fix is perhaps not the best one.
+It's only an issue on mailing lists and discussion groups.
+Let me put in a word about the Apple wireless trackpad.
+Nothing.
+Using Unix is the computing equivalent of listening only to music by David Cassidy.
+I assume that the reader is familiar with the UNIX tools.
+You missed a spot.
+This is Go.
+I didn't violate anything. I made a suggestion.
+At least in Go the behavior is well defined.
+What is the average length of time the phrase"Time remaining: Less than a minute" lingers on an Apple screen?
+acme is unobtainable at the moment.
+I don't understand what your issue is.
+It's so trivial it could be a few lines of shell script, unless I'm missing something.
+There is no such feature.
+Go is not C.
+I don't understand the bug report.
+The Go 1 compatibility promise holds us back.
+No. The "No" in "no changes" means no.
+Be very careful.
+You almost never need xargs.
+Actually I was hoping to stop at least my end of the dialog.
+I like to think of a function as a function. But that's just me.
+Ummm, don't do that?
+I say not now.
+I don't understand what you're saying here as a response to what I said.
+I defer to the experts.
+It's really not clear what the right long-term solution is.
+Why do by hand what a machine can do just as well or better?
+please don't ask; we're working on it
+I don't understand why you keep beating on this.
+It's nice to be in a position where people apologize because they assume there's humor in your work, based on past experience, but they're not sure where it is.
+all sounds fine to me.
+Oh man, do I miss my red Swiss mouse.
+Of course, this may change.
+The real answer lies in further research.
+please don't e-mail us.
+I just live with unaligned comments.
+Why should I?
+I sense a conspiracy.
+I leave it to you to find a way to correct the problem.
+We'll never agree.
+I suggest a different compromise: you do whatever you want, we ignore you. Deal?
+Read the manuals.
+I disagree.
+My toaster runs KRONOS.
+Why did Peter Weiner register plan9.com?
+Thank you for adding support to my position. I really appreciate it.
+The only document that claims Plan 9 runs in 4 megabytes is the FAQ on our home page.
+We are using other techniques now.
+What's wrong with forking processes?
+I know what versioning is, it's "vendoring" that I don't recognize as a term.
+Let's leave it at that.
+This conversation has run its course.
+Remember, the language is not the point here, it's the implementation.
+Nothing is worth spending a week with bureaucratic Germans.
+Caches are bugs waiting to happen.
+The hermeneutics of naming yields few insights.
+What difference does it make whether it's an "object-oriented language"?
+Why not just use a URL shortener?
+Remember this?
+three programmers go into a bar. the sam user is there because he's finished the day's work and wants to relax. the vi user is there because he's going to be working all night and needs a break. the emacs user is there because there's nothing else he can do: both his hands are in splints because of carpal tunnel syndrome.
+Oh yeah, great: eye tracking and mind reading.
+Certainly not.
+It's a terrible idea.
+First, check your errors.
+I second that!
+Ha ha.
+Let the machine do the work.
+I'm not going back in there.
+Advertisers.
+I'm not used to success.
+Not needed.
+2106 is a long time from now.
+Why does this matter?
+Does anyone know of a version of sam for Windows that will run on 64-bit installations?
+Great, thanks.
+I used to be a physicist.
+Please file an issue at golang.org/issue/new
+There is no simple definition for what people want.
+One man's toy is another's real system, and every tool adds to the arsenal.
+There is no problem in computer science that cannot be solved by another JSON configuration file.
+Anything important enough to be in a dot-file is important enough not to be in a dot-file.
+Again, please read the blog post I cited.
+Experiment!
+Live and learn.
+Something else may happen one day.
+I don't know what the right answer is.
+If it's not worth doing well, it's not worth doing at all.
+Manual is wrong.
+The Plan 9 FAQ needs work.
+In another 24 years, programmers will learn how to use malloc.
+Use a tool.
+Please define 'trouble'.
+I just noticed that Glenda, the Plan 9 bunny, has a body the same shape as Tor Johnson's head.
+I must admit I find the fissiparous nature of the Open Source/FSF community a little dispiriting.
+Thanks for saying that.
+Is this a bug fix?
+I disagree with the premise.
+I speak from experience here.
+It's not how many features that matter, it's how the features interact.
+Just write the code.
+Looks like a bug.
+And now we have diverged so far from the original question that we can safely ignore it.
+I oversold due to fading memory. But I stand by the fundamental point.
+Although there may be specific examples where generated output is uninteresting, deciding whether to read code based entirely on whether a computer or a human wrote it doesn't seem a good general principle to me.
+Short answer: No.
+None of that is excusable, only true.
+File an issue?
+The documentation is clearly insufficient.
+You don't say anything about the problem beyond "it doesn't work".
+Can you be a little more specific please?
+Working as intended.
+That's a shame.
+Nothing has changed.
+Correct as written. Maybe badly written, but correct.
+Does it make a difference?
+One more thing.
+That's odd.
+Nothing in Go is accidental.
+Go was supposed to be a fresh start.
+Ken and I ported Plan 9 to the SPARC in 6 days over one fun Christmas break.
+I told the truth as I saw it.
+Wait, teletypes are finally gone so we need *pseudo* teletypes?
+I started complaining about this long ago and nobody cared then, either.
+It is very unlikely to change.
+Don't do that.
+This is just me speaking, not the Go team.
+Go doesn't have it.
+Even the simplest changes can be disruptive.
+Feels like the wrong solution to me.
+Copying source just leads to confusion.
+More discussion is required.
+What are you really trying to do?
+I wrote a book about this once; I recommend it.
+I just thought it would be nice.
+My recent incompetence is humbling. I should quit the industry.
+Three cheers for dropping things that are too complex.
+Great.
+This is one special case.
+This slippery slope is long and steep. I'd prefer not to take the first step.
+All that aside, the rule works very well in practice.
+dot dot dot
+Sounds nice.
+Yes.
+It is legal.
+At MIT the server is the unit of invention.
+Nothing is wrong here.
+Да!
+Noted.
+нет.
+THIS OPUS LACKS PERSPICACITY
+THIS INCHOATE EMISSION DOES NOT ADUMBRATE CONSUMMATION
+OK I'll stop now.
+Russ is prepping some words about what's happening.
+I will fix.
+Feature requests will be ignored.
+I would call that a bug.
+Feel free to file an issue.
+I really dislike knobs in APIs.
+???
+What's wrong with the obvious?
+I am dyspeptic.
+I do not.
+The Yacc grammar was translated by sam-powered hands.
+Turning off comments.
+This is unfortunate.
+NaN is unfortunate.
+No we can't.
+go away
+You misinterpreted my suggestion.
+Not a great situation, I admit.
+I do not understand your criticism.
+If you want to do the work, I will review the results.
+Now, this is one of the things where the guy who blogged about me being a world-class jackass missed the point.
+Please drop this.
+Maybe yes, maybe no.
+Please be respectful in this forum.
+It sounds reasonable and should be easy enough to implement.
+There is a widespread assumption that garbage collection and kernels cannot coexist but history shows a number of examples that demonstrate otherwise.
+Speaking as a one-time kernel writer, I would have loved to have garbage collection available inside the kernel. Hell, half the code in the kernel is tied to memory management.
+Thanks for the report.
+It takes precautions but there are no guarantees.
+What is the problem you are trying to solve?
+Please be civil.
+I think this would be a mistake.
+Go's interfaces were designed to solve particular problems.
+Go is not the product of a Whiggish development process.
+complexity is multiplicative
+i always intended to fix the problem; i never saw how.
+apologies.
+The choice cannot be explained, only understood.
+Indeed.
+i see no bug here.
+I support the idea of unrecorded talks.
+We do not accept patches
+Syntax highlighting is juvenile.
+Working as designed.
+I've written programs with twenty implementations of io.Reader inside.
+Who cares? Shut up.
+What is wrong with my analysis?
+I just want to explain something.
+I recommend in the strongest terms that you don't do this.
+Sockets are the X windows of IO interfaces.
+Ignore what I wrote.
+In other words, here's how to do it but don't do it.
+I did indeed.
+I don't understand what you mean by 'reset'.
+I am, and as far as I can tell it makes no difference whatsoever.
+Please put this silly objection to rest. It has no merit.
+Interpretations will vary.
+I think the pattern used well is perfectly acceptable in certain situations.
+Like everything that attracts scrutiny, the key point is to use the idea well: safely, clearly, correctly, and only when appropriate.
+I am not trying to be difficult, but you must understand it's not simple to address your question.
+One step at a time.
+Thanks for grinding through those.
+Hardware has stopped getting faster. Software has not stopped getting slower.
+Ah, right.
+I disagree.
+There is little meaningful difference between bad style and bad practice.
+It's come up before.
+Ah, nice. the woodpeckers are back.
+I recently got the idiotically named but otherwise very well designed, quiet, and comfortable Apple Magic Keyboard.
+It sounds like a mistake to me.
+What a lovely vacuous platitude.
+That is unhelpful.
+Reports of the death of Research are greatly exaggerated.
+There are already courses being taught in `feminist science' and the trend is sure to continue.
+Not quite.
+Please file an issue.
+I'm not convinced there is a "why" other than "that's what happens".
+Working as intended.
+Awwww. Sniff.
+The operation is not to copy but to snarf. It's called snarf because snarf is what it does. There is no design document.
+Automatically deciding what's important in a program's dependencies is not easy.
+Thanks
+Yes, one could, and that would be a stylistic decision.
+Best not to promote the bad idea.
+Nil means nothing.
+People often spend too much time worrying about the things that don't matter.
+Often the reason something was done is more important than what was done.
+I believe this is not a Go issue.
+Are you running Xcode 8.3?
+I don't think so.
