Many comments on generic methods. Perhaps this example will help understand a hopefully not-too-objectionable case of using them in practice. The math/rand/v2 package has a number of functions which return random numbers of a cert

Fair enough, but that leaves us with no way to represent zone IDs in URLs at all. Neither http://[fe80::4%eth0]/ nor http://[fe80::4%25eth0]/ is valid under RFC 3986. Given that net/url has supported RFC 6

Sounds ridiculous, but worked on mine! So far, the fix has stuck, too.

Much more prosaic (if slightly embarrassing), I'm afraid: The update was non-trivial (this CL is simple, but there are some accompanying ones in x/text which are not) and it didn't hit the top of the priority list for anyone

To be very pedantic, there are two separate services: The module proxy (proxy.golang.org) serves cached modules and makes no guarantees about how long cache entries are kept. The sum database (sum.golang.org) serves module checksums, which

In my experience, the Apple Watch blood oxygen monitoring was horribly inaccurate. It would report wildly variable results, often telling me that I had a blood oxygen level of 80% (which, if true, would indicate that I should be getting mys

It means we're not confident the API is stable yet. There might be further changes before the final, non-experimental version, depending on user feedback and further experience with the current proposal. In the case of encoding/js

I have a 2024 Kia EV6, and this is pretty much what it does: Central screen displays CarPlay, backup camera, and infrequently-used settings controls, dials and knobs for most things, one secondary touchbar (row of buttons, but it’s really a

I do almost all my cooking on cast iron—no philosophical reason, it just works well and once I figured out how to use it I found that I pretty much always reach for a cast iron pan over stainless steel or non-stick. (Except non-stick for om

A non-blocking send doesn't work in this case. Consider: User provides DoChan an unbuffered channel, and then reads a value from it. If the send is nonblocking and occurs before the user reads from the channel, the value is lost.

by neild 2y ago
Returning a channel avoids questions of what happens if sending to a caller-supplied channel blocks. DoChan returns a channel with a single-element buffer, so a single send to the channel will always succeed without blocking, even if the ca
