    Eleven Years of Go
    The Go blog celebrates eleven
    years of Go language development
    and looks forward to what comes next.
    "When the pandemic hit, we decided to pause any public announcements
    or launches in the spring, recognizing that everyone’s attention rightly
    belonged elsewhere. But we kept working, and one of our team members joined
    the Apple/Google collaboration on privacy-preserving exposure notifications
    to support contact tracing efforts all over the world. In May, that group
    launched the reference backend server, written in Go.

    The second set of stable kernel updates in a single day has just come out:

    4.14.206,
    4.9.243, and

    are all available. They all contain a single patch fixing an
    urgent security issue
    . Greg Kroah-Hartman says:
    "Hint, if you are using SGX, then upgrade. And then possibly reconsider
    the decisions you have recently made that caused you to write special
    code to use that crazy thing.
    "
    See this article for information on SGX in
    the kernel.
