Don't get me wrong; it's useful to have an AT command which responds with OK. That way we know that we are in the modem's local command mode rather than online.

(More or less; there is the obvious ambiguity of something on the remote end also responding to AT with OK.)

This useful AT just doesn't have to be a prefix of every other command.

I don't think the parent comment was implying that any policy or action (no matter how broad) that causes (no matter how indirectly) people to commit suicide (no matter how few) is in-arguably bad and gross. I think the parent was pointing that out as one relevant point among multiple. The overall picture, taken rationally and as a whole, to me personally seems like one where the cons outweigh the pros, as opposed to the entire generic concept of the history of automation, which contains many individual cases where things may have been handled well or poorly, and is therefore too broad to compare to a single act of policy like this. To me, this looks like something that could have had some reasonable incarnation, but as it stands, it appears to be an unthoughtful, unnecessary act driven by hatred.

In my experience it is often a "loss leader". ERs have to treat everyone, including the large number of people who are never going to pay a cent. However, by getting people in the door, you then control (for all intents and purposes) where they go if they need to be admitted.

The consensus we have reached at our company is as follows:

1. If you plan to write a software library [0] to be embedded directly onto foreign piece of code (i.e a host application), then go blindly with ANSI C or C99 at last resort. Not only writing bindings for your code should be straightforward but you will also benefit from the portability of C that make your code virtually available on every platform or architecture out there. Remember write once, run everywhere. Well, C fits exactly onto this category.

2. If on the other side you plan to write a standalone software such as a Desktop app, a network server, a game, etc. then modern C++ should be your first choice. You'll largely benefit from shared/unique pointers, built-in threading, lambdas, high performance data structures with relative portability accros modern systems. C++11/14/17 is a joy to program with once you master the basics.

Many people lack the knowledge about what an ER is for. If they don’t learn in their own, the bill and the experience teaches them quickly.

ER is for critical issues. If you have time to think about where you should go, it’s probably not the ER.

ER is like 40% serious stuff and 60% bullshit. My brother is a fireman — there are even people who use it as a cheap, high latency way to get a free cab voucher.

The error bubbling up is a good thing. It at least allows you to find missing error checks in the underlying code. Good luck trying to find an unchecked return code. It seems you mix up problems innate to exceptions (like messing with the control flow) with user problems (unchecked errors/exceptions).
> I'm not sure Nvidia is in trouble. Investors who overestimated their future performance.

The problem is that management did not do enough (as far as investors were concerned) to temper market expectations. It may have been they truly did not know who was buying their product, and they believed most of their clients were coming from ML and gaming, when instead it was heavy, heavy crypto.

Other than that, as the article mentions, it was trade tensions that turned the quarter miss into a perfect storm for a sell-off.

No you misread my refutation, I make no claims of the errorness or exceptionness of dividing by 0, merely that your proposed example doesn't support your claim that it depends on the nature of the application. I claim that unchecked user input falls into the category of 'error' and that clearly is what has occurred in your proposed example.
That's still dumb though. Why not start slapping taxes on every service to pay for that service for the poor? Uber eats must include a food delivery for the poor tax. Gas must include a gas for the poor tax. This is what leads to the insanity that is our tax system.

> Interestingly, the shoes did not even have padding or support. It's true that they protected the feet, but this was accomplished mainly by keeping them covered up. The construction of the shoe did not include the materials typically found in modern footwear. Despite this, men were able to add their own details to the shoe to make them more protective. For example, the lining of the boots would often be made with moss and wool, which were added by the wearer himself.

My respect for Linus does not extend to his opinions on programing languages. I haven't found any of Linus's objections to C++ compelling. I strongly believe that a C++ kernel developed with the same care as Linux would be strictly more robust. There are simply more and better tools for constraints and engineered safety in C++.

Besides arguments about portability, C's only "advantage" vs C++ is a lack of features. This isn't an advantage for a serious engineering project, or really any project with code review.

Vimways – 2018
I'm using kind of middle way to what's described in the article. I'll hack away in a Notebook because the problems that arise early in coding are problems that can be fixed quickly, and the time spent waiting for the code vs. time fixing problem is sometimes magnitudes higher.

But at some point I'm getting to a stage where I realize that I'm starting to write architecture, not algorithms. And at that point the only thing I'll do with my notebooks is glance at them to look at particular solutions, and maybe run them once or twice for sanity checks (or to just be happy that I solved the problem :D).

I then try to flip a mental switch. There are fundamental differences between writing python scripts for scientific or any other purposes and writing python architecture. Which is why I've moved away from copy-pasting code from notebooks to codebases. (I've been stubborn to actually ingrain this for a year or so.). I treat my own notebooks as if they were foreign solutions. Good for knowing how to tackle the problem, but I'll keep them the hell away from my clipboard.

At that point, it shouldn't matter if I have to re-run everything again for tests, because the stability and reliability of my code is now the highest priority. Also, if your development progress is anything like mine, the actual problems you fix a few weeks into a project aren't problems where you try a solution every few minutes, but rather once or twice a day. So the extra time spent waiting doesn't really bother me.

TL;DR: Hack away in Jupyter notebooks for exploration, then lock it all away once you know how to tackle the problem and work 'traditionally'.
Heck I went to the er for chest pains and what felt like an irregular heartbeat when I was 24. Had and ekg and everything. Was still around $300 (after jnsurance) even tho I was fine and it turned out to just be anxiety and dehydration.

There is no way I should be convinced by some fucking insurance company that something like this would be better seen in urgent care. What about the 0.1% of people where it actually is serious?

What if that allergy to peanuts your kid has is actually life threatening? You want the most comprehensive care available at the time available ASAP.
> Good luck trying to find an unchecked return code.

We're talking about alternate programming languages that handle errors vs exceptions differently, so it's only fair if we consider a language designed from the start not to need exceptions.

So let's take Rust, for example: In Rust, it's not a matter of luck at all: You declare whether your return code may be ignored; if not, it's a compile error not to use it.
for sure.. but I expect the real results to be worse (though this is purely speculative on my part), as I can only imagine people with steeper intellectual decline being more likely to drop out

None of this solves the referenced social engineering attack, except possibly "run everything in containers".

> Run everything in containers

This only works if you can split up your app into micro-services that can be adequately sandboxed, and even then only if the malicious dependency is in a locked-down service. But for example if your service needs to be able to make outgoing network requests to arbitrary hosts then you can't prevent a malicious dependency from sending your private data to its own server.

> Don't install anything that is less than 7/14/X days old

If everyone followed this advice, then the advice won't change anything. This advice only helps you if other people ignore it, at which it's just "let the suckers try the new versions first". And even then it won't solve the referenced social engineering attack, because that attack was targeting one specific user, and it doesn't matter how many other users test the dependency.

> Sign all packages published with a private key and Complain if the package you dependent on have changed signing key

This doesn't help either. The malicious package was published by an authorized maintainer of the project. Presumably if the package was signed with a private key, that private key would have been given to the maintainer to use in deploying (or alternatively the maintainer would have simply asked the original author to deploy the new version).

> Install only packages from authors you have marked as trusted

The malicious package was published under the name of a trusted author already.

> Only install packages that have been signed by 2/3/X other people

This isn't particularly scalable. It's hard enough as it is to get other people to even review the source of your open source library; asking them to stake their reputation on signing it too would be an even higher bar. Very few packages would end up cross-signed like this.

As a kid, I made heavy use of my public library's ILL (sorry, taxpayers), but I never heard any whisper that university-level ILL of any documents was possible, and the forms my librarians filled out strongly implied that only books & CDs were ever contemplated.

> In my experience theses and dissertations are treated like any other book in interlibrary loan.

Yes, but you have to be at a university in the first place. Life is grand if you're a student with full privileges - ILL is, IMO, one of the most underrated fringe benefits of being a student - but once you're out, you're out in the cold. I've discussed this with any number of people, including people at think-tanks without university affiliations, and no one's come up with a good solution how to get back into the ILL system short of hiring students to do requests for you.

> I have run into some theses and dissertations being restricted to people affiliated with the particular university which holds the book, but that's rare in my experience.

Yes, fairly rare, but it still happens. Unfortunately, I don't know what happens when you ILL them because I didn't run into any examples until after I graduated. I'm also puzzled when I run into online open access theses which are, however, embargoed for a year... (I simply schedule a reminder to go back, but I'm perplexed as to what could possibly be the point of that.)

That poll had Trump winning the national popular vote by 3.2 points. He lost by 2.1 points. The poll missed by a total of 5.3 points.

The average poll missed by 4.8 points. This result wasn't much worse than average, but it definitely was below average.

I can see why someone might be confused by this - one might think these polls are predicting who will become president.
The article is mostly about exceptions, which is fair I guess.

However, by the time you write C code that handles _all_ errors (like exception handling would), you end up with code that does not look as nice as the examples given here. In production C code you often end up seeing a "goto fail" or "goto done" and then hand-written destruction of objects. To make that less error prone, you have to explicitly initialize everything in the beginning of the function. Oftentimes you even see the "goto fail" invoked via a macro.
Now, in my humble opinion, by this time you might as well have used C++. Persponally, I do like the regularity of such code when reading other people's code. Still. It's a lot of effort. And the benefits over exception handling are not so obvious to me. You end up restricting yourself in both cases.

Also, when considering whether constructors and destructors should throw exceptions, consider the array case. You instantiate an array of 100 foo. If constructor #42
throws, how do you know which ones have been initialized and which ones haven't? Even worse, if you delete[] an array and one of the destructors fails -- do you get memory leaks? Maybe the destructor was supposed to release a mutex and you can get deadlocks?

I find it very telling that both C and C++ (and most other languages for that matter) end up defining a "good subset" that you are supposed to stay inside. You would be forgiven for concluding that we don't know what we are talking about when we design new languages, and we should not hastily add new features lest we end up having to recommend against them in the future. Yet, many languages (I'm looking at C# and Javascript here) keep getting new features on a yearly basis.

I think we should be much more sceptical.

I also think this is a dilemma that is similar to the startup dilemma. It is a very risky proposition, so the people who end up doing it are not risk averse and tend towards the "hold my beer" part of the spectrum.
