The 32 bytes were just a product of the hash function that we were using,
but I've simplified it by changing the hash function to one that only
generates 8 bytes.
My current solution is:
func EmailToID(email, salt string) int64 {
d := sha3.NewShake256()
d.Write([]byte(email))
d.Write([]byte(sa
You'll probably want to use encoding/binary.
But which 8 of the 32 bytes are you going to use? (or really, which 63 bits?)

I have a byte slice 32 bytes long, and I would like to use it to generate a
positive int64. Is there a standard way to do this, or do I need to write
my own function (most likely using bit shifts)?
The backstory is that I need to generate unique (low collision likelihood)
integer IDs from emai
