Deadlines

A basic demonstration of using the context package for setting deadlines across subprocesses

Running

dep ensure -v
go run main.go

Editing

By default, we expect to hit the pre-defined context deadline. If you wish to change the timing, edit the time.Sleep() on line 69 to something below 3 seconds. This will let the catch condition (5 pings to google) to succeed and complete the computation defined in the DoSomething() function before the context sends the ctx.Done() signal.
