Panicking is, in many ways, the best-case scenario for code that contains a bug. A bug that causes a panic is much easier to find through fuzzing, property testing, even static analysis or analyzing failures in production. It also prevents the bug from "infecting" other code by allowing the program to proceed in an invalid state.

If you don't want a panic to take down the whole system, you can isolate the code in a thread and use a supervision tree, or use `catch_unwind` to let the thread perform cleanup and then continue from a known state.

Using `slice.get()` and returning `Option` or `Result` for failures that should never happen in correct code is not an improvement. It leads to the same unwinding behavior, as the failure gets passed up the call stack, but with more manually-written code, and more error-handling paths that are hard or impossible to test (because if the program is correct then they are unreachable). It infects calling functions and changes public APIs.

Clearly, the best practice is "don't write code with bugs." If your code is bug-free, then it is also panic-free. But we don't really have the tools and techniques to do that all the time in general. The second-best option may be to write code that panics when there is a bug. (People saying "write code that can't panic" are often really just saying "don't write bugs.")

There is absolutely nothing about modern system design that my CS degree from close to 25 years ago would have helped.

Anyone can learn proper system design by working in the field and being exposed to proper design first hand.

My point was perhaps more on how much you actually get exposed CS as a subject before deciding it as something you would like to pursue in the future, unrelated to actual skill or interest in it. As an oversimplified analogy, in general, would anyone consider becoming a professional musician without having being exposed to instruments or music as a creative art form i.e. something you can actually learn and do? A hypothesis would be that if CS curriculum would be added more heavily to prior education, the amount of people majoring in CS would also rise.
Do not make the same mistake as regular ERP. If APIs are available, try to integrate to sources of data people actually use vs direct user input.
Yeah but about HALF of those tests were done in the last TWO days! Capacity is coming online very rapidly now and while we are starting from behind, we will not be so short on tests for long. Roche alone is shipping 400,000 tests per week and Abbot Labs is on track to perform one million tests per week in the next couple of weeks. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/03/america-is-final...

If we have cultural practices in place that more universally reduce or halt the spread of disease, it matters less to know who has it.

Of course, then people will say "we were just lucky" or the threat was never real.

But in terms of actual germ control, I would like to see more focus on shifting the culture to one of higher levels of germ control permanently.

But I don't need convincing. I already know this stuff is serious and makes a difference because of my medical situation.
This thread is a good representation of the conflict at least partially as it includes a party which firmly made up their mind.

Anyone who’s willing to say that Palestinian militant groups pose no threat to Israelis is clearly not willing to debate in good faith.

Does it mean everyone who got shot posed an immediate threat? Probably not, however I find it very disturbing when a party ignores documented physical evidence of such instances simply because it came from a side they do not agree with.

Especially since this article is form an Israeli, which hints at even more dubious selective bias.

However I don’t think the core of the issue is who was there first and who’s land is it today, and who’s land should it be.

That will never yield constructive results if one side is utterly unwilling to face reality on principle.

Any solution to this problem would would require a partition of the land which will be acceptable to both sides in a manner that would A) Create a Palestinian State and B) Maintain Israel’s existence as it exists today; so far I haven’t seen any hints of this being possible.

Overall I also think that it is naïve to think that this conflict will be resolved without Jordan a state which was formed on 75% of the original British mandate.

A state which is predominantly Palestinian in its demographics even without accounting for any refugees from the 47 and 67 wars.

The refugee problem is also something that is unfortunately ignored. Even at the peak of the negotiations they were a sore sport as the Palestinian Authority always was in a position that any agreement between them and the Israelis will not cover the refugee issue and that would have to be solved separately.

I’m not even sure if refugees are even a correct term since Palestinians are the only ones who can’t get a UN refugee status, they got a special status which is quite problematic.

Countries are not allowed to settle Palestinian refugees, UNRWA the UN agency which is dedicated to them is banned form seeking any permanent solution which is why there are 70 year old refugee camps still.
This combined with a unique status which is not only perpetual but also can be inherited as the descendants of any male Palestinian refugee also get to claim that status will eventually result in a situation that will not be resolvable.

However across all circles it’s extremely hard to find people who are willing to be honest about just how fucked the situation is and just how predictable the actions of both sides are given these parameters.
I love stories about the "N+1 thing out of N things we are familiar with", like e.g. new extinct species of humans or lost continents.

Spacex is going to crush all of it’s competitors. It get’s the launches for the cost of a tank of kerosine and lox. It’s manufacturing its own satellites. These are cost advantages that no one else can match.

Once Starlink is operating, the first customer to knock on their door will be the US military. They will spend any amount to get world wide internet/ip availability.

Softbank’s only hope to rescue their investment is to merge OneWeb with another satellite player.

One advantage Starlink has is that the satellites have a fixed lifetime and need to be refreshed. Future generations of satellites can have additional capability added (ADS-B tracking for aircraft, for example)

But in the end, there can only be one.
A 486 was more than powerful enough to run most workloads at the time even in high level languages without too much optimization. Anyone who thinks a 486 was “feeble” didn’t spend time optimizing assembly on a 1Mhz 65C02 by doing as much zero page memory access as possible to save a clock cycle.

Voice mails and instant messages have been produced in court cases for many years. Even some famous cases have hinged on that.

There's also a thing where if a communication is privileged, and you accidentally produce it, you may not be able to unscramble the egg just because in principle it was covered by lawyer-client privilege. So there is a real risk to recording things even if there are rules protecting you.
Ontario publishes this statistic and updates it twice daily [1]. It was just under 2% but started to creep up. To understand the numbers better it helps to know that currently there is about a 6 day wait on the test results. Until very recently criteria for testing were very stringent (2+ symptoms, recent travel), and even then only 2% were found to have it, which - in my understanding - disqualifies the idea that virus was already around for a while.

Obviously I can't say if this is universally true, but it is most certainly true for me. I have CarPlay, and I do my damnedest to control it with Siri. It always feels incredibly dangerous to use the touchscreen.

Because of the problems I have with Siri, I end up using the touchscreen much more than I'd prefer. My latest defensive habit is to queue up enough audio for the trip and not touch it again until I arrive.

I would definitely prefer hardware buttons.
My favorite interaction with CarPlay so far were the Mercedes models that had the little wheel in the center console that you could use to navigate. All you had to do was take a quick glance at the screen if you didn't already know how many clicks you had to turn the wheel, or if you did know you could do it without looking. In all the newer models I've driven they've replaced the wheel with a touchpad like thing which is awful.

I'm in the market for a car, and I want something new or new-ish, but I can't find any cars I like without touchscreens all over the place. I'm now looking at used cars from around 2012, before all the touchscreen nonsense became pervasive, but still with most of the modern conveniences I'm in the market for. I'm not in a rush so I might just wait and see still, but I said that a couple of years ago as well and the touchscreen craze has just gotten worse I feel like.

In addition, lasers scan extremely well in low light conditions due to the intense light a laser outputs which illuminates the barcode so the sensor can read it, even in the dark.

In the 90s, I wrote C and Fortran for DEC VAX and Stratus VOS mainframes. Even then our major concerns weren’t “algorithmic complexity” and being able to reverse a binary tree on the whiteboard.
I had to come to grips with this when I entered university 45 years ago. I went to an extremely dumbed-down high school (especially in math), and had no idea how to make myself grind my way to competence in any subject that didn't come naturally. It took over a year to learn how to learn hard (for me) things. Fortunately, I was able to join a supportive peer tutoring network that helped me overcome the holes in my education and approach to learning. The light went on when I accepted if I wanted to succeed, I would have to spend 10 good hours working a 1 hour problem set. The majority of people just don't want to make a 10x effort to learn things that frustrate them. It's especially hard to grind when you feel surrounded by people who succeed seemingly effortlessly.
Mauve
I literally just googled it. Read around for people's experiences ordering. Picked one to try. Same way you'd find info about anything you're looking to buy on the internet. They delivered and the meds were clearly effective, been using the same place for a decade now. I've also tried a couple others over the years when looking for something my main site didn't carry. Never been burned.
If I'm understanding the study correctly, it's not that having one of these systems in your car results in you — at all times — being more distracted than if you had pot/alcohol in your system. Rather, when you are actively engaged in a task (eg, play song on Spotify), you are worse at lane centering and maintaining follow distance.

That is not as bad because you can choose when to start playing a song, so that you do it when traffic is calm. If you're driving under the influence, that's affecting you the whole time.

It would be interesting to see how these results look when the driver is performing tasks on a non-touchscreen setup. I can easily change the radio station in my car using steering-wheel mounted buttons, but changing the AC/heat is quite difficult without looking (in my Ford CMAX) because of the uniformity/location of the buttons. I'd guess the results would be similar to using a touchscreen setup.
Everything has a trade off, you have to look at it using cost benefit analysis.
Just buy some extra rolls of toilet paper!
Uuh no thanks. How about we trust employees and simply check the result of their work? Who cares if someone has spent N hours sitting in front of the screen, show me the results.

Ask HN: How to deal with a co-founder split when I want to continue a startup?
So I'm in an odd, yet overall quite common position. My co-founder and I simply do not get along to the point that it's time to part ways. We have tried several times to have heart to hearts, but ultimately, the imbalance of work and the verbal abuse from my co-founder has pushed me completely out mentally from this startup.

I want to leave.

Neither of us believe in the product, we've expressed this numerous times. He's afraid to go to investors. I'm not.

How do I best proceed? Is it possible to split our investment and simply go our separate ways? Or should I just ask for the buyout? I just have to get out of this situation and back to doing what I love - building software products to solve people's problems.
This AMA is weird. Bill Gates mentions chipping everyone for vaccine purposes. This is at best, extremely inefficient and insecure and open to fraud (I get a chip, and now I can be someone else?). Additionally inserting a chip is traumatic. People don't like the idea of having an electronic microchip embedded in their bodies. Immune systems tend to reject that and bacterial/yeast biofilms tend to grow on implants causing inflammation.

It's already been proven that biometrics are the gold standard for identification. You can't swap in someone else biometrics and fraudulently walk around as someone else. And you simply connect these biometrics to a cloud registry and go from there. Why wouldn't we just go with what works?

And if you don't consent, do you get locked out of the economy? Or do we hold you down and force inject you with a chip?

This implant doesn't make ANY sense and will systematize ID counterfeiting. Shame on Bill Gates. This should be laughed out of the room and then scolded as a human rights violation.
It’s going to be interesting how antivax people respond if the vaccine is out early enough to be useful.
> Even if that were true (which almost certainly it is not)

What are you referring to? You don’t think the virus is already much more widespread in the US than currently reported numbers? I’m just making the observation that perhaps the large increases in US cases are more indicative of confirmation of already existing cases rather than necessarily being _new_ cases.
By not preheating the oven you will generally end up with a denser, smaller loaf. This isn’t a bad thing if you’re happy with the result, but the style of bread this recipe is aimed at typically is very light with a very airy crumb.

When the loaf goes into a hot oven, you get some steam generated as water boils, and the yeast gets heated quickly, giving a minute or two of high gas output before it is killed by higher temps. This all adds air to the inside of the loaf while the dough is still very soft. When cooking at a low temperature, the crust often hardens more before this process happens, limiting the amount the loaf can expand.

Nothing to imply the trade-offs explicitly worse, it’s down to if you like the result.

But it will definitely change what you get out of the oven.

Highly recommend trying it yourself and compare two loaves cooked with and without preheating to see how much it changes the result and if it makes it easier and more enjoyable for you to bake!
"I've taught myself everything I've needed to know about Software Engineering"

I respectfully suggest that you haven't (taught yourself everything you need to know). Not a criticism, we all thought we knew everything at that age, LOL.

Besides the credential, the value of college is that you "forces you to eat your vegetables". By that I mean you will learn about things that you aren't really interested in (at the time at least) or aren't as interesting as something else, but will be valuable later.

BTW: In case you also know everything you need to know about women, you can email me your wisdom. At 58, I still haven't figured them out. :-)
I was coming here to say that it looks a lot like ZeroTier. The main differentiator as far as I know is the support for SSO and MFA.

I think that’s the problem. At my university you had to pass both the theoretical and practicals in order to graduate.

They taught the theoretical, but expected you to just pick up the practical as needed. If you couldn’t learn Java in a weekend, you would fail the first coursework.
Most developers are “dark matter developers” despite the HN/Silicon Valley bubble. The complexity in business/enterprise software isn’t the computer science it’s understanding the business.

I find most “computer science” people don’t want to actually worry about producing products that people want nor do they want to worry about the actual business domain.

There is a reason that despite all of the “smart people” that Google has, they have consistently failed at every product that isn’t advertising.
My concern with a lot of signal processing techniques used in ml is that sometimes they presuppose things that may not be true.

That is, signal processing had Nyquist's rates. And typically knows there is an underlying signal. Does ml have either?
