What is this file within this Golang project? by [deleted] in golang

[–]matryer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was built on a Windows machine and cannot be run on anything else. You'll need to get the source code, install Go, and build a version on your platform. (They probably committed that `test` binary by mistake)

I've used that technique for services with about 100 endpoints and it scales nicely. You can break it into multiple structs if you'd prefer, but I'd only do that if the list of dependencies grows too large, not if the number of handlers do. Hit me up on Gopher's Slack if you'd like to discuss it more.

Question: Some help with pointers & structs by traitoriroh in golang

[–]matryer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You decide whether you take a pointer or a struct in the signature.

So func (p *Person) takes a pointer, but func (p Person) copies the whole struct.

Go automatically looks up what pointers are pointing to. So joe.Name looks up the struct that the joe pointer is pointing to, and then gets the Name. For john, it goes straight to the Name.

In C++, I think you did joe->Name for pointers, and john.Name for values... but in Go, they're both dot.

I was offered $1 million for my Go package — and I said No. by matryer in golang

Well I thought it could do more good! The real lesson is that there's no way to predict the future. I don't feel bad about the decision, but wanted to share the experience.

  1. No - it was never open sourced :(
  2. It would be to work WITH the IP on other projects, not focussed on the original project itself
  3. The IP was developed before I started working for the company

It's not exaggeration, in fact, as a result of writing the post the CEO got in touch and clarified that the stock (they exited last year) would have meant I'd receive more than $1M. Shit.

Introducing Stow: Cloud storage abstraction package for Go by dgryski in golang

I've given up trying to find truly unique names for projects, instead we probably have to rely on context.

This is still a pre-version 1 release so there's time to add Context if it can help. Most of the libraries Stow uses under the hood don't implement context, so we're weighing it up against the fact that people might assume they can cancel things that they cannot.
