Go: Newton's method for square root
/*
A Tour of Go: page 44
http://tour.golang.org/#44
Exercise: Loops and Functions
As a simple way to play with functions and loops, implement the square root function using Newton's method.
In this case, Newton's method is to approximate Sqrt(x) by picking a starting point z and then repeating: z - (z*z - x) / (2 * z)

[Legacy GOPATH mode] How to `go get` private repos using SSH key auth instead of password auth.

WARNING: This gist was created in 2013 and targets the legacy GOPATH mode. If you're reading this in 2021 or later, you're likely better served by reading https://tip.golang.org/cmd/go/#hdr-Configuration_for_downloading_non_public_code and https://golang.org/ref/mod#private-modules.

$ ssh -A vm
$ git config --global url."git@github.com:".insteadOf "https://github.com/"
$ cat ~/.gitconfig
[url "git@github.com:"]
	insteadOf = https://github.com/
$ go get github.com/private/repo && echo Success!
Success!
