Instantly share code, notes, and snippets.

There are three easy to make mistakes in go. I present them here in the way they are often found in the wild, not in the way that is easiest to understand.

All three of these mistakes have been made in Kubernetes code, getting past code review at least once each that I know of.

  1. Loop variables are scoped outside the loop.

What do these lines do? Make predictions and then scroll down.

README template I use for most of my projects.

Introduction

  • Add your project logo.
  • Write a short introduction to the project.
  • If you are using badges, add them here.

📒 Index

Context

This is for programmers who want to ramp on Go, without resources that reiterate programming fundamentals. This would not be a good list of resources for folks who are learning to program using Go as their first language. Some resources that I dismiss here would be super valuable for newer folks. This is a selection of resources for those who understand programming fundamentals in a different language already.

Advice

  1. First steps = Tour of Go
  2. Don't waste time on Go Fundamentals-type books - it all lives in tour of Go.
  3. Consider joining the Gophers Slack
  4. When you need help, the Go Playground allows you make a quick scratch file and share it. Others trying to help can run your code easily this way.

Operational PGP

This is a guide on how to email securely.

There are many guides on how to install and use PGP to encrypt email. This is not one of them. This is a guide on secure communication using email with PGP encryption. If you are not familiar with PGP, please read another guide first. If you are comfortable using PGP to encrypt and decrypt emails, this guide will raise your security to the next level.

Simple Security Guidelines

Using an iDevice? (Best option)

  • Use an iPod or an iPad without a SIM card
  • Use an iPhone

Most VPN Services are Terrible

Most VPN Services are Terrible

Short version: I strongly do not recommend using any of these providers. You are, of course, free to use whatever you like. My TL;DR advice: Roll your own and use Algo or Streisand. For messaging & voice, use Signal. For increased anonymity, use Tor for desktop (though recognize that doing so may actually put you at greater risk), and Onion Browser for mobile.

Answers to Deep Questions about Solidity

The following list of questions was taken from https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/72reba/do_you_have_deep_questions_about_solidity_or_the/

An updated summary on the different ways one could have two contracts interact (DELEGATECALL, STATICCALL, libraries, all that stuff) with clear pros/cons for each (gas cost, whether it requires EVM assembly directives, etc)

Question by /u/drcode

I won't talk about low-level opcodes here because of the brevity of the answer. In general, there are four ways functions can be called in Solidity:

#Loading Tweaks in the Simulator

With the latest updates to the simulator, this turns out to be pretty simple:

You need to be using kirb/theos

In order not to require MobileSubstrate to be loaded and your tweak to be compiled for i386/x86_64, add

In your makefile:
