for i, v := range array

The funny thing is that I knew it, but wrote `for v := range array` anyway at least a few times! My point is, it's not very intuitive. Thankfully, the compiler catches that, unless it's `[]int`.
The idea is it's `for k := range object` to iterate over the keys, and `for k, v := range object` to iterate over the keys and values, whether the object is a slice, array, map or string. The only exceptional case is a channel, which has no indices/keys.
It does make perfect sense, just goes against muscle memory from years of Python coding :)

Ignoring logic bugs sounds like a horrible idea

It's not always logic bugs. For example, here's how you would limit your slice to max N elements:
arr = arr[:N]
if len(arr) > N {
arr = arr[:N]
}
I'm clueless about what this is...
Can I use it? Is the source code available?

It wouldn't be very helpful, the algorithm and the problem are very specific to Thumbtack.
That being said, we plan to extract and free common code as we use Go for more projects. We love free / open source software!

Its an autocomplete for their search engine with machine learning.
I think its purely closed source based on the article.

time.Ticker is great if you want to repeat the task at approximately the same interval. time.Timer is what I use when I want the task to repeat a certain time after the previous task has finished. You can also conveniently use timer.Reset(0) to trigger an immediate tick.
