Steve Francia joined the show and told us EVERYTHING about Go’s new branding strategy (and don’t worry, the gopher isn’t going anywhere!)

Whether you’re testing Bluetooth LE, 802.11, or Ethernet… Bettercap has you covered. It’s cross-platform thanks to Go’s universal binaries and has precompiled versions ready for download. Go forth, and get your MITM on.

Why not just query GitHub’s API to get the licenses? we were not satisfied with its detection quality: many projects which actually contain the license file in a non-standard format are missed, and some are misclassified. What they came up with is go-license-detector, which detects 99% of licenses in a test dataset (compared to GitHub’s 75%) in a fraction of the time. And the winner is… MIT.

Why does this exist? Containers are not a sandbox. While containers have revolutionized how we develop, package, and deploy applications, running untrusted or potentially malicious code without additional isolation is not a good idea. The efficiency and performance gains from using a single, shared kernel also mean that container escape is possible with a single vulnerability. gVisor takes a distinct approach to container sandboxing and makes a different set of technical trade-offs compared to existing sandbox technologies, thus providing new tools and ideas for the container security landscape.

Ron Evans joined the show and talked with us about GoCV, Gobot, using Go to control drones, and other interesting projects and news.

This is a bonus segment in the after show of Go Time #77 with Russ Cox where we talk briefly about Wasm support in Go, and how that plays into Go being used as a web language.

Russ Cox joins us this week to talk about how Russ got involved with Go, Vgo, error handling, updates on Go 2.0, more.

Matt Jaffey joined the show and talked with us about Pilosa, building distributed index with Go, and other interesting projects and news.

Florin Pățan joined the show and talked with us about GoLand, the pros and cons of using an IDE, his thoughts on the Go community, and managing Gopher Slack.

A quick search through our history tells me that this is the fourth NES emulator we’ve logged, and the second one written in Go. So, yeah. People love writing these. And we love logging them. 😄

In this post, we highlight how CockroachDB 2.0 enables your data layer to evolve with your business: JSON enables rapid iteration in response to changing customer requirements; major throughput and scalability improvements help you handle huge increases in user request volumes; and a groundbreaking toolkit for managing multi-regional workloads lets you deliver low-latency applications to customers anywhere in the world. Lots to ingest here. Also listen to Go Time #73 all about CockroachDB. 👇

This is the 5th in a series of posts about learning TDD by writing Go. In it, Chris covers dependency injection and shows how simple it can be and how it’s a helpful technique for writing reliable and fast tests

Transforms JSON into discrete assignments to make it easier to grep for what you want and see the absolute ‘path’ to it. It eases the exploration of APIs that return large blobs of JSON but have terrible documentation. Also works in reverse, so you can turn your filtered data back in to JSON.

a fast command-line interface application for viewing cryptocurrency stats and information in your terminal. Inspired by htop.

Jon Calhoun joined the show and talked with us about Gophercises, experiencing the joy of building cool things, creating content for Gophers, and other interesting projects and news.

Apache Arrow is a cross-language development platform for in-memory data. It specifies a standardized language-independent columnar memory format for flat and hierarchical data, organized for efficient analytic operations on modern hardware. Recently, engineers from InfluxData developed and donated a native Go language implementation of Apache Arrow to the community.

Andrei Matei joined the show and talked with us about CockroachDB (and why it’s easier to use than any RDBMS), distributed databases with Go, tracing, and other interesting projects and news.

Bill Kennedy joined the show and talked with Carlisia about learning Go, teaching Go (which is something we’ll do at some point or another), making good presentations, and other interesting projects and news.

Carmen Andoh joined the show and talked with us about inclusivity, the 2017 Go Developer Survey, visualizing abstractions, and other interesting projects and news.

Leo Kalneus joined the show and talked with us about GopherCon Russia and the Go community in Russia. We also debunked a few myths about Siberia and of course talked about interesting Go projects and news.

Ashley McNamara is doing a series of fundraisers starting now and ending on July 1st. The goal is to raise money for GoBridge and WomenWhoGo — two organizations who make it their mission to educate & empower underrepresented communities. I can’t wait to see how many of these tees the community will be wearing at GopherCon later this year. I’m imagining a sea of Gophers rocking these shirts!

Brian Scott joined the show and talked with us about Golang Flow, contributing to open source, functions as a service, building for the web with Buffalo, and other interesting projects and news.

This list aspires to be “only the most useful and relevant material that anyone writing Go should eventually read.” Because of this, it is not a growing list. Rather, it is a curated selection of 200 entries (still a lot).

This is a simplified clone of Pocket, written in Go. It can be used as a command-line app, or from the web. It’s distributed as a single binary, which means installs are easy, peasy.

Honestly, if it can be described as "a #{beloved_service} client for your terminal", I’m gonna log it.
