2025-06-23 How to store Go pointers from assembly The standard Go toolchain comes with an assembler out of the box. Said assembler is highly idiosyncratic, using syntax inherited from Plan 9 and choosing its own names for platform-specific instructions and registers. But it’s great to have it readily available. More mundanely, Go comes with a garbage collector. This post explains how to make these two components play nice, if we want to manipulate Go pointers from our assembly. Preamble: Go’s

Apple / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET Apple has a lot of fancy new tricks up its sleeve for the next iteration of MacOS. There's the new UI (glassy and classy), the extra AI bits, performance improvements, and more. But there's one new feature that may or may not interest the average user.
