Hi HN, TimeFerret is a beautiful calendar app for iPhones and iPads. It comes with a custom keyboard that lets you access your calendar from any app. How TimeFerret is different fr…

Stencil implements GoImports formatting which is basically GoFmt with a slightly different import ordering. And yes, it would be useful to standardize this somehow, the way go gene…

The go vet integration with go test looks interesting. I'm currently using github.com/surullabs/lint [1] to run vet and a few other lint tools as part of go test. It provides a nic…

Ah right.

I wasn't very clear. A hypothetical conn.Read(w Writer) would call Write on w instead of filling a byte array. Write in turn allocates as needed. WriterTo is a cleaner way of doing…

Exactly. The sync.Pool will only be useful if net.Conn.Read accepted a Writer instead of []byte.

Hi, I'm the author. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments. This library allows you to run a variety of linters as part of go test. It also supports whitelisting …

This is something I definitely agree with. I've sometimes found that taking a few seconds to cache state in a notepad before responding to the interruption helps a lot. Having time…

This is very good advice. I've had trouble with flexibility for as long as I can remember. I've recently started some light exercise again and including yoga for just 5 to 10 min h…

I've used git subrepo [1] for vendoring and been quite happy with it. Doesn't seem to have the problems of git submodule and it's easier to use than git subtree. [1] https://github…

Would you be interested in trying our beta [1] once it's ready? We're working on the hypothesis that bad meeting schedules can result in a large drop in productivity, especially fo…

Thanks for letting us know. I've updated the quota so the website is up now. EDIT: Changed it to say the website is up, where it said the website will be up shortly.

Slightly shameless self promotion: If you're looking for an Android solution, we're working on TimeFerret, a calendar app that helps you reduce fragmented meeting schedules and tra…

Regarding generics: the tool generates Java bindings from Go code. Since Go doesn't have generics we just generate non-generic bindings.

Yes. The only constraint is that the jar will only work on the architecture it was built on.

Yes this is definitely a little limiting. I'm also experimenting with a slightly different binding method, where passing pointers to structs is disallowed (gobind currently allows …

Yup. I'll put together some more docs and usage examples this weekend. Edit: https://github.com/sridharv/gojava/issues/6

This exists for Python [0]. The reverse is also interesting (Go -> Java/Python/Ruby) and once I get some spare time, I'll play around with using libjvm to load and call jar files f…

I've set up a business here without knowing German (I'm Indian). I moved here from the U.S and what worked for me was to pass all of this off to people who know how to deal with it…

Conway's Law comes into play a little here. Microservices provide organization level flexibility at the cost of operational and development complexity. For small teams and especial…
