"just use little-endian and drink margaritas at the beach" "not too big because my pc is pepega" these videos are just perfect, perfect pace, perfect content, perfect tone, perfect accent

Great video. I saw a few problems with the final solution. In the sendFile you append the size of file to the conn. In readLoop you read that size in the loop which is problem. And even if the size is in out of the loop, this will try to copy the entire byte data from the conn into buf in one go.

this video is really great and very educational with the different steps/tests. Thanks for your work, the days are too short to watch all your videos :)

man... i cant express how much this will do for my cdn in golang... Dear Anthony, bless you😃

Your videos are very helpful, no doubt this is the best golang content creator

Like your work! Thank you! Learned a lot through your videos

Go beast! I needed this locally for a 20GB corpus, so thanks for the tips.

Awesome , Thnx for the amazing Go content.

i need to see ur video over and over! Perfectly fine.

Before watching this video I just listen what streaming is but today I have seen how actually it works. This streaming concept clear but buffer is and how stream it. Great we are expecting more exciting and interesting videos.

thank you for uploading great video!

your channel is a rare gem

nice video anthony

You are the best!

I'm new to programming and I think this is cool, gonna save the video, I think it's useful :)

Great as always

Thank you for sharing

the best

Thank you so much for this video :) its really helpful. Do you have any links or videos about parsing from the loop?

Awesome

Thank you for your video. How will this transmission work if the sender don't know the file size? Is it possible just send the EOF in the end of transmission? Does conn send EOF when the connection closed?

Time to build my own OTT platform startup

But your first implementation is also a streaming one: you are not reading whole file into memory, you have a fixed buffer which is updated on each Read. I think io.Copy just does the same thing

Why are you reading the file size within the for loop?

MR Anthony I really appreciate your content. Please I have a small question I want to know why I opened my activity monitor and my RAM is getting too large even though It's streaming

I just don't get one thing, what condition will stop the for loop ? Cause we want to stop it at some point right ?

Anthony is a Go Master ultimatum

Can I download twitch stream and stream it to youtube upload API directly, using this method?

Awesome video. Big thanks. I have a question, if I set size: 400000 program exit with code 1. Error message: recieves 400000 bytes over the network 2022/12/16 20:50:03 EOF Process finished with the exit code 1

I am very new in go. Can you specify the advantages of streaming file data comparing non-streaming file data in transfer? Thank you sir.

You need read file size before loop 😅

Would be amazing if you could share github snippets with your videos

the for loop on the read with the end solution is a bit redundant i think. Wouldn't this solution just endlessly (for huge files) read into memory anyway? the Buffer will just fill up continuously, instead of allowing you to process x number of bytes?

How does the method "binary.Read" know where the size data is and where the file data is?

brother, this is the second time i see you sending stuff over the network without taking into account that the operating system can not always send N-bytes just becuase you wish to send N-bytes. it may send N/2.. or much less. if you wish to stream, you have to keep track of a pointer to how much has been send. if N/2 has been send, then you send from N/2 until N.. you can not declare the chunk to be sent, if only a piece of it may be sent. the issue does not occur locally, it occurs when you do this over the net!
