  What is the use of empty struct in GoLang

In Go, an empty struct struct{} is a struct with no fields that may appear to be of little use, but in reality, it can be useful in certain situations and become a simple and efficient solution in code. As a semaphore or lock Because the empty struct has no fields, it can be conveniently used to implement some concurrency control functions, such as mutex locks, read-write locks. We can use chan struct{} to implement an unbuffered channel for controlling concurrent access. package main import ( ...

  A simple tutorial about CSS flex property

CSS Flexbox is a layout module that makes it easier to create flexible and responsive layouts in CSS. It provides a simple and powerful way to align elements within a container and distribute space between them. To use flexbox, you need to set the display property of an element to "flex". You can do this by adding the following rule to your CSS: .container { display: flex; } The flex container will now have two main axes: the main axis and the cross axis. By default, the main axis runs horizo...

  Why you should be careful about optimizations

In one of my current javascript projects, I have to deal with 3D voxel coordinates. And, sometimes, I have floating points coordinates which must be converted to integers in order to convert them into proper array index. Javascript is a wonderful language, really. However, implementations are sometimes weird, and the way to do something can sometimes have very huge impacts on the performances. Worse, sometimes the classical way is more expensive than the tricky one. So, some peo...

  Introduction to GoLang generics and advanced usage

Generics in Go allow you to write code that can work with multiple types of data, without having to write separate versions of the code for each type. This can make your code more flexible and easier to maintain, as you only need to write and test the code once, rather than maintaining multiple versions. To use generics in Go, you first need to define a type parameter, which is a placeholder for the type that the code will work with. For example, you might define a type parameter called "T" like...

  How to Deal with Accusations of Negligence as a Business

Understand the nature of negligence Professional negligence claims can arise from various situations. These range from missed deadlines to alleged errors in service delivery. Understanding what constitutes negligence in your industry is the start of both prevention and defense.

  How to check whether a struct implements an interface in GoLang

Unlike other programming languages like Java, when implementing an interface in GoLang, there is no syntax like below to explicit tell the relationship: type I interface { } type A struct implements I { } When looking at the code or running the code in GoLang, it might lead to a case one doesn't know whether a struct implements interface before trying to use it as some interface. According to GoLang spec, as long as a struct implements all functions of an interface, it is considered as having i...

  Fix for-range Issue Again in Go 1.22

With the release of Go 1.22, the Go team addressed a long-standing issue with the for-range loop variable scoping, which had been a common pitfall for developers writing concurrent code. Specifically, the problem was that the loop variable in a for-range loop was reused across iterations, leading to unexpected behavior when closures were involved. The Issue Before Go 1.22 Consider the following example: package forange import "fmt" func Do() { done := make(chan bool) values := []string...

  Understanding Slice Behavior in Go

In Go, understanding how slices behave when passed to functions is crucial for writing efficient and bug-free code. This behavior is often a source of confusion for many developers, especially those new to the language. In this article, we'll explore the difference between passing slices by value and by reference, and how it impacts the modification of slices within functions. Introduction In Go, slices are a fundamental data structure used to work with sequences of elements. They are essentiall...

  Implement struct no copy in GoLang

There is some case where some of the struct in GoLang which is not meant to be copied. For example, sometimes a global configuration which should have only one version passed around the whole application and should not be copied and modified. In GoLang, there is no intuitive solution on preventing copying of struct. But there is still some way which can be leveraged to help prevent this while developing the code. The trick is to define some struct implementing sync.Locker interface and has this ...

  Inline IF and CASE statements in MySQL

There are times where running IF statements inside a query can be useful. MySQL provides a simple way to do this through the use of IF and CASE statements. The IF statement takes three arguments; the conditional, the true value and the false value. False and true values may be static values or column values. For example: SELECT IF(score > 100, 100, score) AS score FROM exam_results this will return the value in the score column limited to a maximum value of 100. IF statements can a...
