Java’s records are a bit like Go’s interfaces. You think you’d be using them for everything, while in reality, they’re good for like 2-3 cases. Indeed, in those 2-3 cases, they’re really saving the day, but using them everywhere “just because” will result in an incomprehensible mess.
@themagpi I'm early stage coding...
The server is written in #golang, and will receive RGB values (and more) from a web form.
The #pimoroni Plasma Stick 2040W is long-polling those values from the server.
I'm hoping it should all come together for @emf 🙂
I hacked together a small service in #golang It allows me to post youtube links, which it would then parse, and add autio streams to a private #RSS feed. Works like a charm, so I am happy 😊
For obvious reasons (legal, etc.), I don't plan to open-source the code and can't make a service out of it. However, if anyone is interested, let me know, I may eventually share the code on a per-request basis.
After an 8-year break from web development, I evaluated modern tech stacks to build my personal projects in 2024. This post chronicles my journey in selecting the perfect combination of backend, frontend, database, and hosting.
Je vais ptete reprendre un peu le stream pour des jeux vidéos et du développement en #golang. Je vais essayer Owncast en rentrant, ça peut être sympa et moins me faire peur que Twitch. Des conseils pour utiliser Owncast ?
also, now with #gpt4o, latency is going to be critical if you’re doing streaming audio/video, so #python may start looking less appealing. what’s the new #LLM language? #rust? #go? #cpp? #fortran?
I ran into some go code that use build tags. My existing test functions didn't work. To handle build-tags, I defined go-build-tags in .dir-locals.el and used the variable in my functions.
After 10 years of commercial experience in #cpp I think I’m ready for a new chapter. I have played around with #rust#golang#zig and #clojure but most job offers that I see are for people with at least X years of commercial experience in this exact languages. Do you have any hints how to approach this? I would think that my previous experience as a #software engineer would matter. Especially since I do not expect to move to another senior role, I’m checking junior positions too. #jobsearch
hey @vantablack are bots allowed on cyberpunk.lol? like if i wanted to host a fork of @yuribot that posts femboys... would that be allowed?
im open to slowing down the time between posts and stuff like that, and it wont be ready immediately coz i know jack about #GoLang and im no expert at bot development
if not all good, im already in the process of making a BotsIn.Space account
As part of some side project using #golang I implemented the musicbrainzws2 package. It wraps the #MusicBrainz web service and search API into a Go friendly interface.
The package is I think rather feature complete, but likely there are bugs and in the current state I reserve the freedom to change the interface at any time as I see fit. But maybe you want to give it a try if you need to access the MB API with Go.
My main focus for my Master's in Computer Science has been on Rust, but I'm always looking to expand my skillset. That's why I'm excited to dive into the Golang Programming bundle by hashtag #Packt on Humble Bundle. This bundle offers a great opportunity to learn Golang, a powerful open-source language gaining traction in the tech industry. I'm particularly interested in the "Go Programming - Beginner to Professional" book, which seems like a perfect starting point for anyone new to Go, like myself.
Is anyone else exploring Golang?
Feel free to share your experiences or learning resources in the comments below!
Kinda forgot how much fun it was to write code stitching map tiles together, and also how easy it was. Currently at 82 lines of #PHP. Once finished it will be a new package, as the #golang has some massive glaring bug in it that took me 6 years to find. Sprinkling some threads and #AMQP over this once it's done. The home clusters fans will sing once more
I think this is something all #golang devs should be aware of to avoid similar vulnerabilities.
The language is kind of amazing:
Step 3. only applies if there is a parent path to be eliminated together with the subsequent “..” (“/foo/..” -> “/“)
Step 4. only applies to “rooted” (absolute) paths, so “/../foo” would become “/foo”, but “../“ is left untouched (as there is no relative parent path to eliminate either).
This makes the docs technically correct (“the best kind of correct!”), but even with the solution at hand it took some head scratching to figure out the true meaning.
For a work project it seems we will have to implement a #golang library for building/evaluating ODRL statements. Since I haven't previously started such a parser library project, I would like suggestions on projects I could look at for inspiration in
Ease of use in interfaces
Test structure
Generally nice code
Please post links to projects you think are nice to use. Oh, and please boost for bigger reach.
I can't deal with languages with optional semicolons! I like languages without semicolons, but when they're optional, especially if they feel "C-like", I always end up adding semicolons to some lines even when I try to write in a semicolon-less style. I'm writing some #kotlin now and I decided to just use semicolons consistently because the alternative is seemingly to use them inconsistently.
Strangely, this isn't an issue I have in #golang. I do have it in #rust however.
Current status: I opened about 100 links to articles and threads from Google results comparing #ruby, #golang and #rustlang and I'm planning to read them 🫠
(no, I'm not really considering Go, mostly just trying to convince myself that I'm not making a mistake starting to learn Rust and not Go 🦀😛)
It's insane that I can have a conversation with this thing and in a few moments and a few back and forths build a working program in a language I know nothing about (I don't know Go)… don't tell me this isn't huge 😳 #golang#chatgpt
