A side-by-side design comparison of Google Workspace app icons on a split white and light-gray background. On the left are the 2020 four-color (blue, red, yellow, green) geometric icons for Google Chat and Google Meet. On the right are their updated, simplified versions: Google Chat is a solid green rounded speech bubble with a white smile accent, and Google Meet is a bright yellow-and-orange gradient video camera icon.

Finding Goroutine Bugs with TLA+
My job these days is teaching TLA+ and formal methods: specifying designs to find bugs in them. But just knowing the syntax isn’t enough to write specs, and it helps to have examples to draw from. I recently read Chris Siebenmann’s Even in Go, concurrency is still not easy and thought it would make a good case study for writing a spec. In it, he gives an example of Go code which deadlocks:

Constructive vs Predicative Data
Consider a data type that represents users, which includes “favorite people” and “blocked people”:1 data Person: favorites: set of Person blocked: set of Person We want a validation that says that these two sets are disjoint, a.k.a. no person can belong to both sets at once. We call these kinds of validations predicates, or boolean functions that correspond to our requirements. The predicates determine if a representable item is also a valid item.
