Way before that the carbon cycle will stop and most life on Earth will starve. Yet way before that we'd have evolved into different species that will likely go extinct as they all do (I think the average lifetime is 10My). I don't know where this idea that we might still be here until the death of the Sun came from. I'd worry more about making it to the next glaciation without having poisoned ourselves before.

I don't think it's accurate thinking about space as a physical place out there you can simply go. It's more like jumping from one gravity well to another and what you have to think about is what part of the system you're aboard can do that by means of conservation of momentum. And that's the main reason why I don't think we have the technology nor the energy budget to think about feasible interstellar trips. It's a bit like telling techno fairy tales to children, only it's adults and we have a lot of other adult problems.

Yeah this has been my problem with the argument against remote work. Everyone at my old company always used to talk about how people needed to be face to face to get things done and collaborate. And yet we continued to hire and grow sister teams over in India that we worked with extensively for years, with no problems.
It means if the arresting officer or prosecutor thinks you have CP, you will be charged with CP possession and perpwalked into the courtroom as a likely child molester in the eyes of the public. It will take an expensive trial to exonerate you if all you have is a Japanese erotic manga involving 100-year-old vampires who look six. But in the eyes of the public, accusation is guilt when it comes to serious sex crimes. So, good luck finding a job.

But, in this case, you have to remember that the FBI is perhaps one of the world's largest possessors and distributors of CP. For purposes of law enforcement, of course. And they have a way of "discovering" CP on the hard drives of espionage suspects at risk of exposing how the national-security sausage gets made...

Wow, yeah: the argument is pretty weird on a second reading.

There seems to be an effort to use the the historical example of Milikan, where a respected authority got a slightly low value, and all subsequent measurements all ended up above it, because that's where the truth was. Then it is claimed that likewise for climate change models above the average are preferred.

But this actually doesn't make any sense! First, because in the Milikan example the problem was subsequent experiments were biased conservative, meaning the bias would be expected towards under heating models. In other words, the lesson from Milikan is that there is a risk our models aren't heating fast enough.

So by the quoted example we should be worry that our models under predicts, and yet Milikan is stood up to argue the models are too wild in their warming predictions?
Ah, that makes sense, thanks. $0.07/kWh still sounds great, we're blasting past 0.30€, subsidizing wind farms is pricy.
And over what time period would you finally offset the excess co2 introduced in the environment by tearing down and rebuilding existing buildings? They're already medium-density buildings, with considerable historical and urbanistic value. Seems a crazy idea to me.

So how do you define it?
I want to make a presentation about this for school. How can I adapt that in order to, for example, make the normal user that execute became su?
An exception thrown and caught within a compilation unit is effectively a goto. It can translate into nothing more than a jcc instruction, or even nothing at all if it's unconditional. This can be higher performance in practice than threading through a set of Either-style return objects.
Storing on the local machine.

Versus what they should have been doing - authenticating the password and then storing a session cookie.
> I'll let people decide which one is better. I personally prefer the first one.

That's JavaScript, right? That's probably not the best language to use to judge the concept of exceptions.

It's cleaner in languages like Java:

try {
Record record = store.findRecord(params.id);
render(record);
} catch(RecordNotFoundException e) {
render('record-not-found');
} catch (Exception e) {
render('unexpected-error');
}
It's not just TI. The lack of schematics for electronic equipment across the board has been a serious problem for decades, and just gets worse over time.
You also can't search alert(1), so probably just a silly WAF.
> You are free to present deplatforming as an equal ill to that if you wish.

Sigh. Can we not do the obvious straw man arguments?

That's true.

Bigots and murderers are also not really equivalent. Nobody is talking about tolerating murderers, so again, let's try to not toss around straw man arguments.
Why is everyone talking about a captcha? All I get is a google search page (no recaptchas).
People on that thread also noticed more keywords and think it might be Akamai WAF. I don't know enough about it be sure.

You can't have some strings in the URL for the main NSA.gov domain as well. So https://nsa.gov/fakething?hey=traceroute will give you the same error.

I wonder how many commenters clicked on this link because this really has nothing to do with "exceptions" (as in the things you raise or throw) at all. So it's a fairly terrible title that is really arguing against a catch-all Error case.

The one parallel to (actual) exceptions is the author is arguing for a constrained subset of error states rather than a catch all Error type. This isn't a new idea. Java essentially does this with checked exceptions. C++ does this where you can declare what exceptions can be thrown (which you should basically never do).

So I did Java for years. Java had several Grand Experiments, one of which was checked exceptions. Despite it still having some fans I think the general consensus now is that checked exceptions were a Huge Mistake [tm] for many reasons (eg leaking implementation details, cluttering your API the whole way up).

One anti-pattern I see with exceptions is people using them for control flow. For example, dealing with a ParseException in Java when parsing numbers [1].

This of course falls into a religious argument about what an exception actually is.

For a few years at Google I wrote Google's flavor of C++, which I actually grew to really like. It is pervasive that any method in Google C++ returns a util::Status. This is much like Go error handling but (IMHO) better.

For one thing, it's a compiler error to ignore the result of a util::status (you can call .IgnoreResult() if you really want to ignore it). I think this is a much nicer and safer default.

You return things with a util::StatusOr templated union type that has the same semantics. There are even macros (that were somewhat controversial) to reduce boilerplate to do things like call a function that returns a StatusOr, assign the result to a variable if it's OK or return the error if it's not.

There are of course utility methods for adding context to a Status(Or) you're returning.

So all this came about because Google C++ strictly prohibits exceptions. This is a historic decision that's probably impossible to unwind at this point and honestly I don't think there's a strong motivation to change it.

IMHO exceptions are a false economy.

This is one of many things I like about Rust. Rust's enums are kind of the next evolutionary step for this. It's a compiler error not to deal with all options, there are constructs to reduce boilerplate and you can pass values.

I understand where you are coming from, and I've heard similar sentiments from other people. Having said that, I have never personally experienced this with a dealer. There just isn't that much interaction between the sales and service department at most dealers, beyond what is required for the sale itself.

There may be exceptions, but I haven't seen them.
I'm guessing that the NSA website uses recaptcha, which is served by Google. Perhaps in order to comply with strict origin policy, they want everything on nsa.gov to be served from their domain. They seem to have a reverse proxy that proxies requests to google.com.

That's one plausible explanation, but in any case, even if my explanation is wrong, I doubt the explanation is interesting.

> We have neural circuits that receive sense data, place attention, and record attentional memories.

From there, you can either go into the direction where we are just machines, and everything we do is predicted by how we are programmed. Then, free will, ethics, etc. are out of the window. There is then also just a machine named trevyn posting bit patterns on HN. In such a world, consciousness and free will don't actually exist, or only do exist as some kind of illusion/imagination. While this world view is somewhat consistent, it seems very hard to reconcile it with your own self-image. Why would you continue to strive for anything if you really believe in this 'clockwork' model? It sounds like a sad life, somewhat like taking the red pill and finding out you have no control whatsoever over your own life and can't leave your lifelong coffin.

The alternative would be a real explanation, i.e., assume that consciousness and free will exist as you experience them, and explain how neural circuits generate these effects. With this assumption, you so far only stated that neural circuits cause consciousness. But that is not an explanation yet. You need to explain how it happens. And that means, you need to connect the tangible, physical world with an intangible, non-physical phenomenon such as consciousness. I'm looking forward to see how you cross that bridge.
