Nope the message was complete, but the three dots at the end were misleading. Sorry! If a link says "https://go.dev/p/blah" it should be updated to say "https://go.dev/play/blah". The "/p/" changes to "/play/" in all cases.

Thanks for the heads up!

The message I can see from Disqus is "The go playground links are on this page are broken. The path should begin with /play/... rather than /p/..." is this the entire message or am I missing something?

Re: Mailing Address vs Physical Address: What’s the Difference

mark-anthony e wilk sr — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 15:53:27 -0000

You missed the part about people that home address is in one municipality and mailing address is in a different municipality like me. My home town has 3 postal service branches but, the postal branch in my neighboring town is closer so our mail is delivered friom there. My home address and mail address have same zip code but different town and the home address town gets changed to match what is recommended . FHA recorded my home in the wrong municipality because auto correct doesn't know any better. Taxes sent to wrong town ins canceled. Now I have what is called a phantom route address. It verifies home address and does not receive mail. My GIS location no longer has a zip code. It has street, town, state only. Address management services deleted my mail address. My home no longer has a public mail address its private. USPS has no problem with that. Get it right or you are paying them to deliver it to you. There is a solution to the problem and I am the first to have no zip code. The business world needs a simple program change but it is too costly and some lie too make it work. Not me, I am not going to lie. I made every lender, my town tax office, board of elections, US census change. I am different then my neighbors on my street.

It is not very helpful because it does not give any reasons why I should follow these rules?
For example, why should I always export the receiver?

AVS should be employed in the larger scope of data points a merchant considers when reviewing an order, alongside things like CVV, email address data, IP address, and past order history. A full AVS match doesn’t always mean the order should be approved, and no AVS match doesn’t always mean an order should be declined.

My guess is that you tried to use the import path as a url, which normally works, except in the case where the package isn't at the root of the github repo. (ie. github.com/smartystreets/sc... I added a direct to the source code at the end of the article to hopefully help other readers later. Thanks!

Hi there.

Could you put your CSV project back on Github?

I was going to use it, but just realized that you took it offline.

Seems strange to share it publicly on a blog post, and then remove it :(

Re: Testing in Go by example: Part 5 - https://smartystreets.com/

Michael Whatcott — Fri, 22 Sep 2017 19:13:12 -0000

Well ok, you asked for it :)

Michael Feathers (in "Working with Legacy Code") defines the following testing term:

"Seam": A place where you can alter behavior in your program without editing in that place.

Each of the versions you cited (4, 5, and 6) are entirely valid approaches because they achieve the very important goal of introducing the necessary "seam" which allows altering the way the current time is resolved for testing vs. production. We've now been using the version 6 approach for over two years to great effect. Here's a more in-depth explanation:

First, understand that I only combined the clock code with the calendar code to create a concise example above. In actuality the clock implementation we always use is defined in a separate package (see listing below for a link). But you make a valid observation: that the code that allows the clock to function in "test mode" is so close to the production functionality as to be in the same "production" file.

Traditionally, in order to create the "seam" needed to isolate time retrieval from application logic you would create 1) an interface, 2) a test implementation, and 3) a production implementation. That's 3 new types/components bouncing around in your system (and your head). Your test code needs to know how to instantiate the test implementation. Your wireup code needs to know how to instantiate the production implementation. Finally, the production code references the interface.

In our approach we only define one type/component: the *Clock. By default, that clock behaves with "production" functionality as a nil-pointer. No need to instantiate a clock in wireup--it's already ready to go as a nil pointer wherever it's been defined. Therefore, wireup and the constructor function don't need to know anything about any clock because there's nothing to instantiate. The only component that requires special handling is the test fixture, which sets the clock to be non-nil for test purposes.

There are at least 3 public packages we've created that introduce seams in the same way (and at least one other that's in a private repo):

- github.com/smartystreets/clock
- github.com/smartystreets/ra...
- github.com/smartystreets/lo...

All three of these are currently running in production (and have been for a long time) without any issues. Good luck with Go and testing in Go! (BTW, rather than GoConvey, I recommend using gunit--you'll feel right at home if you're used to xUnit.)

Re: Testing in Go by example: Part 5 - https://smartystreets.com/

Bastien Teinturier — Fri, 22 Sep 2017 10:20:50 -0000

Thanks for the very interesting article series, as a new Go developer it's really helpful (especially for someone used to xUnit like me). I'll definitely play with goConvey for my Go projects!
I have one issue though: I'm wondering why you find the approach in versions 5 and 6 better than version 4.
In my opinion versions 5 and 6 are fundamentally flawed because they require exposing test-only code in the production code: the code of the clock receiver is really only there for tests, but it lives in the calendar file.
I believe that production code and test code should be completely separated which is why I prefer version 4. But I'd be interested in your feedback on that :)

Jonathan/SmartyStreets:

Thanks for the good post...

Sometime you may enjoy looking at the Streisand VPN project. The author used Ansible to deploy and configure the VPN. He also developed code to specifically spin-up VM's on cloud providers like AWS, DigitalOean, etc. Or, the VPN server can be a machine you own.

"Streisand sets up a new server running L2TP/IPsec, OpenConnect, OpenSSH, OpenVPN, Shadowsocks, sslh, Stunnel, a Tor bridge, and WireGuard. It also generates custom instructions for all of these services. At the end of the run you are given an HTML file with instructions that can be shared with friends, family members, and fellow activists."
