Re: [go-nuts] Golang application local timezone doesn't change with the system timezone

Yea - argument doesn’t hold much water. Log files either use timezonr agnostic times or the users know they will change if the time zone changes. > On Mar 1, 2022, at 6:05 PM, Carl wrote: > > I'm interested in the reason for the current behaviour. > I know there are ways to work around it

Re: [go-nuts] Golang application local timezone doesn't change with the system timezone

I'm interested in the reason for the current behaviour. I know there are ways to work around it and am aware of the consequences of a change to the stdlib now. I'm also aware of what will happen if the timezone changes on a standard system. I assume all platforms that Go supports support the

Re: [go-nuts] Golang application local timezone doesn't change with the system timezone

I would like to understand the reasoning for the implementation, if possible. Simple example: I have a laptop running Ubuntu (or any other popular Linux distro). I fly from New Zealand to Los Angeles I open my laptop and change the timezone via the system GUI (which under the hood uses

I find a way to work around. The goal is to get the valid timezone of the system periodically in my application, So I try to get the valid timezone name from the file /etc/timezone and then parse it to the necessary object I need, to avoid accessing the file too often, I add a cache for the

[go-nuts] Golang application local timezone doesn't change with the system timezone
