[go-nuts] no matching versions for query "latest"

My go.* files have gotten into a situation where `go list -mod=mod -u -m -json all` gives an error: $ go list -mod=mod -u -m -json all go list -m: loading module retractions for github.com/juju/utils@v0.0.0-20200116185830-d40c2fe10647: no matching versions for query "latest" If I don't run `go

[go-nuts] Golang mentioned on Penn and Teller: Fool Us?

No. Not really. However, on the most recent episode of Penn and Teller: Fool Us (https://www.cwtv.com/shows/penn-teller-fool-us/back-to-the-future/?play=0956383f-3701-4908-8263-a3778e3d2ead) someone drew a picture of Penn. While talking about it, Penn mentioned that Rene French once drew a

[go-nuts] WMI and Go... where to get started?

I've been using Unix for decades (and Go since the pre-releases) and now I find myself needing to use Go to talk to the Windows WMI system. There isn't a lot of GO-specific documentation and I could use help figuring out where to get started. Sadly google searches for getting started with WMI are

Re: [go-nuts] Go has eliminated most of my off-by-one errors except 0... I mean 1.

Thank you for the feedback! I took Jan Mercl's suggestion and wrote the short function to see if it is useful. It is based on C Banning's suggested code. I'm going to start using it on my projects to see if it helps. The module is called "hind":https://github.com/TomOnTime/hind hind.S(x)

[go-nuts] Go has eliminated most of my off-by-one errors except 0... I mean 1.

tl;dr: Go's "range" operator has eliminated the most common trap where I make off-by-one errors. The next largest category of off-by-one errors would be eliminated if there was a way to specify the last item in an array. It would also improve a developer's ability to convey intent. ... I've

Re: [go-nuts] what's the max length of an identifier

Did the limit in C used to be 5 characters? That would explain "creat()". (That's a bit of trivia I've always wondered about) Tom On Wed, Apr 5, 2017 at 9:16 AM, Ian Lance Taylor wrote: > On Wed, Apr 5, 2017 at 3:57 AM, Jan Mercl <0xj...@gmail.com> wrote: >> On Wed, Apr 5,

[go-nuts] strings.SplitN(x, 1)

Does strings.SplitN(x, 1) always return []string{x}? https://play.golang.org/p/3vDg_BFfY9 If so, I think the docs would be more clear if this was spelled out. For example... *** strings.go-OLD Mon Jul 4 15:33:24 2016 --- strings.go Mon Jul 4 15:34:48 2016 *** *** 266,271 ---
