Go's error handling is essentially the same as Error/Either/StatusOr (returning errors as values).

Re: exceptions, there are a lot of people, myself included, who do not view exceptions as "advancements", but as setbacks. Magically and suddenly subverting the normal control flow and unwinding the stack in highly concurrent programs (as is expected in Go) is an awful way to do error handling, and you end up having to bypass that mechanism and pass the errors as values across call stacks anyway, so what are you really gaining for all the extra complexity, "implicitness", and cognitive load of doing that?
I think the people who are concerned with this are familiar with how food is made at restaurants. For example, I worked at a pizza shop in high school and occasionally someone would request we wash our pizza cutter so that their veggie pizza would not be contaminated with meat from previous pizzas. We, of course, accommodated their request without issue. But I worked there for years and saw this request maybe 2-3 times. And that may have been the same customer. The people who take that level of constraint are a tiny, tiny fraction of the already smallish customer base seeking meatless/vegetarian food.

If this is OK for you, I guess you are also OK with strangers double-dipping shared sauce dishes. It's funny that this turns into a Seinfeld episode "The Implant" :)

That's not saying women are unsuitable, so your first point is just incorrect.

It is really saying there are fewer suitable women. Which is true, and there is a huge movement to remedy that by making it more inclusive. Not that I'm on-board with lowering the bar hiring unqualified applicants or anything, but I think changing project structures to use better use underutilized talent is great for employers and employees.

Though, IMHO, the most honest way to do any of this is by evaluating candidates sight unseen, with no name presented, to remove bias. I like that other approaches are attempted, but this one is my favorite. It doesn't make my resume less favorable. :)
There will be so much of it that it will just sound like noise to them. They'll probably have software that mines through petabytes of shitposts to find specific things but I doubt they will be impressed with any of us, even the most prescient or famous ones. Their software will classify the sentiment into canned personality types similar to INTJ, but redefined for internet personas. Nobody will read it manually because we're all just another permutation of "INT...Whatever" like the other 18 million people who posted the same ideas/emotions/sentiment. Kinda sad.
Sure these activists can go work for a non-profit which supports their moral stances but who will pay for that $1.5 million dollar mortgage and new tesla in the driveway? I’m sorry but I have a hard time taking anyone seriously who spouts righteous indignation on the evils of big tech but has no problem cashing that fat big tech paycheck.
> But I for one want my year-round access to every food on the planet.

I'd like to think you're being sarcastic here, but fear you may not be.

What's wrong with food being seasonal and local? Personally, I like it that what's available varies with the season; it gives me an extra incentive to try different things.

Ask HN: What do you do for healthcare checkups?
Hi HN -

I had a small health scare recently despite generally taking great care of myself.

Through the experience I realized I haven't had a primary doctor in years.

I am not even sure what I should be doing on that front to ensure I'm getting the proper annual checkups, screenings, and so forth.

What does HN do to leverage primary care doctors or other annual screenings to ensure you are on track?
Not sure I agree with you. As a "meatless" burger, it is _exactly_ what I had in mind. I'm not particularly interested in an entirely autotrophic diet.

Your post is really confusing.

I have already linked the ONS crime survey stats which say there are about 144,000 rapes of women and about 8,000 rapes of men each year, and the CPS stats for prosecutions (4517 April 2017-May 2018).

Why are you using the FBI definition when the submitted article is about advice for England, coming from a case in England?

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/mar/13/false-...

Kier Starmer used to be head of the CPS (the organisation that's releasing this advice) and he says:

>In recent years we have worked hard to dispel the damaging myths and stereotypes associated with these cases. One such misplaced belief is that false allegations of rape and domestic violence are rife. This report presents a more accurate picture.

I've already linked the report that he's talking about.

> she'd lose the vote of pretty much every blue collar worker that aspires to have a stable job somewhere like Boeing

It sounds like you're suggesting that we shouldn't hold Boeing too accountable because they wouldn't be able to retain or hire as many blue collar workers.

That definitely could be a side effect but I'd be more concerned about creating safe airplanes than safe jobs.
As much as the new Microsoft seems to be likely a good steward of GitHub for a while, the author is right that all centralized services inevitably become anti-user. In the case of GitHub, and the likelihood of it soliciting more contributions combined with the fact that the output, a Git repo, is fairly easy to move elsewhere, perhaps there's value in using it for now, because the contributions made on it in the meantime will still be valuable once you move off of it later?

I would really love to see maybe someone figure out how to mesh ActivityPub with a Git site, so that I can open and discuss issues on an independently hosted Git without having to create an account for that specific project. Most of the time if I have something to offer up but would have to register an account on their self-hosted GitLab, I don't really bother, to be honest.

> Isn't it part of the problem that left-leaning people consider themselves to have good intentions but consider right-leaning people to have bad intentions?

Perhaps. But I didn't say that, and I'm not arguing that point. I read your point as a direct consequence of what I've written, actually.

But if I may argue that point for a bit, for the sake of argument, a lot of the "SJW" stuff that riles people up is to say that a protected class or minority should be allowed to exist, and people do react to that with what amounts to "your existence is offensive to me". Which is one reason I immediately jump into: why is the SJW offensive to people? Is it that the anti-SJW has some kind of hangup? Often, yes.

Just let them be. And they will let you be too. I know this is an unpopular opinion on HN and so I'm losing karma over it. OK.
Neither HBO nor Showtime existed at the time. And NONE of the original cable channels had commercials because there was only one channel, iirc, and all of the shows came via Warner.

It's obvious you are too young to know about these things at the beginning. I'm talking early 1980s when cable was making its big move across the country.

The problem is even if you use another service, you're probably still on their Wifi. Large buildings don't always have good cell coverage.

So even if they don't know what you're saying on Signal, they know who used it at what times.

Plus Signal groups are unwieldy with many participants, plus it's just a PITA to type on your phone vs a keyboard.

Also, does GOOG MITM employee connections? Many large banks and hospitals make you install a root cert to use the wifi.

In short, there are many nudges pushing employees to use "insecure" organizing methods.

Also from a legal perspective, if you have a history of allowing internal debate, you open yourself up to liability if you silence that debate when it touches on the workplace.

(It's protected speech in the states to discuss working conditions, and it can be considered retaliation to not allow discussing conditions if other non work talk is allowed)

This sounds like the modern version of having Disqus comments sections overrun with spam comments pitching Prada bags, Air Jordan shoes, etc. This kind of comment spam was huge on blogs in the late 2000s, before social media sites centralized all that traffic to their comments sections.

I wonder if it's an age thing for me (I'm 34), but I would never consider buying anything I saw on a random Instagram account. Even the sponsored posts from influencers pitching say, workout apparel or pre-workout, are from no-name companies I don't trust, especially given the fly-by-night, dropship-from-AliExpress nature of such businesses.

I think that your heart is in the right place with this comment, but you seem to be suggesting that this is the (only) right way to relate to death: to interpret reminders of the deceased as positive opportunities to remember with love.

I think I agree that some people would benefit from a chance to this framing. However, I am not sure I agree that everyone will, or that those who prefer not to be reminded (particularly at random and unasked for) are turning up their nose at serendipity, as it were.

For me and perhaps for others, I find set and setting to be very important when remembering the deceased. How, where, and when makes a big difference in how such remembrance makes me feel, and whether it helps with acceptance and closure or not.

I find that intentional, set aside times for grieving rituals-- or celebration rituals, as is sometimes the case-- is the best approach. But being blindsided by loss hurts and profits little.

The number of projects analyzed was not the issue, though "1100+" does add to the impression of the title being hotrodded a bit. The criticisms HN users made of the title, that I heard, were first that the paper looks only at open-source projects on Github, which is not representative of software projects in general, while the title refers to software projects in general. Second, "Why X needs Y" (where Y is a sensational word like "heroes") is a linkbait trope, easily recognized by anyone who spends time around internet articles, as well as an overselling of the finding. An analysis of commit rates on Github does not explain why, it shows that—which is great, and which we edited the title to represent more clearly.

On HN, an article does not get a pass to use these tricks just because it's a paper on Arxiv. The internet game is to inflate titles to oversell the body, and the HN game is to rejig them back to scale, so there isn't a disappointing delta between what the title promises and the body delivers. We did that in two ways: by adding Github, and by replacing the "Why" bit with a simple mention of the relationship explored by the article. I'm sure it is possible to come up with something better, i.e. more accurate and neutral, and if anybody suggests better we can change it again. But if a paper is going to play the internet game—which, dismayingly, we're seeing more of, as academics increasingly have to fight for clicks in their own right—then HN is going to play the HN game. Your authors are expert in their domain and the HN community is expert in its.

I wouldn't say this change is unfair to the authors. The purpose is to steer the thread toward a substantive discussion of their work, just what any good scientist wants, and away from title nitpicks and complaints, which is boring and no one wants. I can tell you from years of experience that once these complaints start appearing, they continue unless and until the title is edited to bring down the inflammation. We can't fight it, we can only heed it—it's a force of nature. Why would that be? I think it's that people come to HN for relief from the onslaught of bait and manipulation that plagues them on most of the internet. The implicit contract here is that the front page will be a bit calmer, more neutral, more accurate. HN doesn't do that perfectly by any means, but if it's noticeably quieter and more bookish than what is typical elsewhere, that's the main thing.

You can call HN users armchair scientists if you like, but I think you'd be surprised by how many working scientists participate in this community, not to mention many who have had scientific careers before moving into industry. They are humble and don't flaunt their credentials, but when something relevant to their work comes up they mention it, and it always surprises me how many there are. It seems a good sign for the health of the community.

The grill it's cooked on also cooks meat patties. Some people do not like any contamination in their food.

When I became vegetarian I thought about this a lot but came to the conclusion that if I ever wanted to go out with friends that it's something I'll have to accept. You'd be surprised at the number of places that use chicken broth in otherwise vegetarian fare as well. It's a compromise, but one I'm willing to accept; some people are not.

Unions give employees the knowledge and leverage to push back against unrealistic demands, deadlines, and cost-cutting measures without retaliation. These kinds of rushed solutions causing more problems down the line are caused by a culture that rewards employees who put up with managers breathing down their neck.
Those people aren't the target audience. It's to get meat eaters to be willing to replace meat in their diet.

I often wondered the same thing myself, why don't weather providers provide their own accuracy rates? I started to make a "simple" system for estimating NOAA accuracy, and immediately ran into trouble determining what accuracy meant.

If they predict a high to be 86deg, and it's really 85, what does that mean as far as accuracy goes? If we use the Kelvin scale, even a 10 degree error makes it seem pretty accurate, though a person's experience in those extremes will be very different.

But I think the biggest problem is that the simple weather forecasts that we use on a daily basis, is a poor representation of what weather forecasters actually do. They're modeling how weather systems form, move, and interact. If a model predicts storm forming and moving a particular direction, but the 10 day forecast is off by 100 miles causing it to rain a day later, what does that mean for accuracy? Another model could just use the average weather as their forecast, and might score pretty high as far as long term accuracy, but would be pretty useless from a user's perspective.

So, if someone forecasts a high of 86 with a 99% confidence level. What would that mean. That it'll be 86 somewhere near there, that it'll be close to 86 at that location that day, or that it'll be 86 at that location within some timer period? You really can't boil all of those variables down into a single number.

And then you'll run into issues tracking the confidence of the confidence levels. Ad infinum.
