Oracle Drags Its Feet in the JavaScript Trademark Dispute
Oracle seeks to dismiss fraud claims in the JavaScript trademark dispute, delaying the case and avoiding questions about its right to the name.
github.com/5HT2C/go-timezone-local
Works on windows, linux and macos
built-in functionality sometimes won't suffice:
zone, _ := time.Now().Zone() // try to get my time zone...
loc, _ := time.LoadLocation(zone)
fmt.Println(zone, loc) // prints e.g. CEST UTC -> obviously wrong!
localizing a date with obtained loc
will cause
panic: time: missing Location in call to Date
go get github.com/thlib/go-timezone-local/tzlocal
Open your project folder
Create a file main.go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"time"
"github.com/thlib/go-timezone-local/tzlocal"
)
func main() {
tzname, err := tzlocal.RuntimeTZ()
fmt.Println(tzname, err)
// example:
// tzname = "Europe/Berlin"
// now you can use tzname to properly set up a location:
loc, _ := time.LoadLocation(tzname)
d0 := time.Date(2021, 10, 30, 20, 0, 0, 0, loc) // DST active:
fmt.Println(d0)
// 2021-10-30 20:00:00 +0200 CEST
d1 := d0.AddDate(0, 0, 1) // add one day, now DST is inactive:
fmt.Println(d1)
// 2021-10-31 20:00:00 +0100 CET
}
Run the following commands:
go mod init example.com/yourpackage
go mod vendor
go run main.go
It should print the go runtime timezone.
Clone github.com/thlib/go-timezone-local
