It's not similar to that at all. Without it, the exception bubbles up until it gets caught somewhere, or crashes the program with a useful stacktrace.

With golang, it just goes undetected, and the code keeps running with corrupt state, without anyone knowing any better.

I really loved HDEV, especially watching sunrises & sunsets.

I have ~40,000 screengrabs I took for my twitter bot @hdevcam between 2015 - 2017 availible at http://billeberly.com/hdev if you want to relive those days.

Sadly, they're not the best quality - despite being the High Definition Viewing Experiment they never seemed to actually transmit in high def. And the files are just timestamped - the tweets had the locations too, but they weren't stored with the files. Maybe I should go do that on a rainy day sometime...

> All generics do is bring back the lack of typesafety and all the manual typechecking that comes with muddying generalizing the parameter typeset.

I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding you here, but generics are type safe. They're statically checked at compile-time.

I genuinely don't see the confusion here. It's totally feasible to make special purpose devices with general purpose HW and SW. In fact, it's totally feasible and common mainly because of costs. Just think about what happens if people classify devices according to your rules. Some fridges are going to be classified as a general purpose device because, guess what, they run Linux the general purpose operating system on general purpose ARM CPUs.

I'm not "fine" with it, and I wish Sony hasn't done that. However, restrictions on a gaming console doesn't warrant the same level of attention as it does for a smartphone.

> Racism absolutely does imply intent. The attempt by progressives to recharacterise racism as something that it is not

Sorry, what? "Racism" is not a word with a clear definition over time. It didn't exist at all in popular usage until the past few decades.

I think what you're trying to say is that "racism" is supposed to connote direct discrimination, like support for segregation, slavery, stuff like that. And sure, lots of people use the word that way. Most of those people are the same people who want to argue that "racism is a solved problem", so it's easy to see why this definition is attractive to mostly-male, mostly-white, mostly-conservative people.

But it's not the way a lot of other people use the word, where it connotes broader injustice in society and not just individual opinions.

Basically: you're making a senseless semantic argument. Even if you win the dictionary war about what "racism" means, you're still not responding to the actual concerns being expressed.
Huh, TIL that GitHub has a trending page. I have a few projects with a few thousand stars, but have literally never seen this thing.

Are Asians treated worse during promotions because (1) the color of their skin / physical appearance (2) the confucian values (lack of assertiveness) of the individual (3) the stereotype of confucian values (lack of assertiveness) of Asians in general

I think it's more (2) and (3) than (1). It's hard being Asian - you have the weight of all other Asians practicing confucian values dragging you down.

Time to get rid of those values - If not for yourself then for others who don't want to be weighed down by the stereotype.

As much as it pains me to say, the liberals are in a relatively strong minority position right now. If there were a non-confidence vote, they would likely come back in a stronger position. The NDP is in about the same position they were before, but the conservatives are in a pretty bad spot. Their leader is stepping down, but no replacement has been chosen yet.
Interesting idea, but is there any evidence for it?
Biggest advise I can give is that you should do a better job at content seeding to ensure that first time users have a good experience. Otherwise, you'll never get better from more usage because people won't have a reason to stick around. Then your collaborative filtering will struggle as your user likes become more and more sparse.
Yes, but... Job security in this industry boils down to little more than evolve or die.
Drudge is hardly “wacky right” [anymore]. Even the Daily Beast said as much in a funny piece they did called “I Spent a Week Down the Right-Wing Media Rabbit Hole—and Was Mesmerized by It”

> The Drudge Report, once the online town crier of the right-wing bubble, now pales in comparison to the likes of Gateway Pundit. Drudge links to so many mainstream media outlets, such as the Associated Press and Reuters, and to enough Trump-skeptical content that on day two I deemed it contrary to the spirit of the simulation and blacklisted it lest I fall down the rabbit hole of facts, truth, and sanity.

Now I might not believe 1% of what I read on The Daily Beast, or Vox, or whatever, but I would never call for them to be defunded or de-platformed.
It ran fine with all the file types we tested! A dependency loads the file into a custom type, but it handles this file type differently! Now it's a stinky old NoneType. :( :( :(
I don't believe Rust is faster than C, but I would argue it's faster to develop new products in Rust vs. C, and easier to produce programs which don't have data races or invalid memory accesses.
This seemed like a concept to please the Conservatives. The NDP were against it so it doesn't seem to be part of the new bill.
Have barely looked at explore that often, generally has little that interests me despite being fairly accurate with topics.

Following a range of people and checking the main feed from github.com now and then has always worked fine. Apart from some coworkers and collaborators the vast majority is people I've never interacted with, some are wellknown, many are simply folks I've come across over the years in certain fields of interest and seem active on GH.

There's a constant stream of interesting repos being worked on or starred with no real social aspect to it. As a discovery mechanism I enjoy the simplicity of it.

That's an interesting guess -- I had read that biphasic sleep was common in the West prior to the industrial revolution, when work for long days away from home was common, and light began to be more available at night.

Maybe the right kind of historian is around to answer: Was biphasic sleep also the norm in preindustral societies that had tea or coffee cultures relatively early?
What exactly would you want it to do? Have a separate "float"/"integer" type?

This would break roundtriping/comparition on languages which do not distinguish between integers and floating point types representing integers.

And it would still make you unhappy, because there are systems out there without simple 64-bit integer support (some examples which come to mind is perl5 on 32-bit machines; TCL; and you know, Javascript before 2019)

So JSON has a single numeric type, a float. Yes, you have to remember that you cannot store a 64 bit value there. This is an annoying gotcha. But it does not come from deficiency of the serialization format, it comes from the primary goal: if you want to support many languages, you need to conform to common subset of features. And since there are languages which cannot natively handle 64-bit integers, you should play safe and store those as strings.
In my opinion, ordered or orderable is a better name than comparable for types implementing (<=). It evokes more of a "totally ordered" vibe than just saying "comparable", which is what we actually want in these types (in order to sort them and so on).
Yep, this is exactly the use case I was talking about.

Back in the 1960s, yes, that was a reasonable approach, and we took it. In your coding analogy, we believed there was a specific bug and started applying patches to address it.

But we've been doing that for more than half a century now and it hasn't helped. So now maybe we should consider whether the actual bug might be something else, requiring different patches to fix.
I dont think that is wha the meant. If anything, the opposite. CNN et al highly sanitize their news and hard to see what the real pulse may be. Many ZH articles take an angle which uncovers perspectives but at risk of being wrong. If it pushes their contrarian agenda, so be it.

They also first uncovered wuhan flu and the Chinese bio lab association I believe. As well as the shipment from Canada, maybe back in February. Isnt this finally coming into MSM?

> I didn't see any free/libre licenses on the YouTube videos so presumably you're a take-down notice away from not being able to use these videos.

If the videos are being embedded from YouTube (as they appear to be), then there are potentially two different concerns here:

1. Whether the video owner is okay with their content being shown on another site. This is already controllable via whether they choose to enable embedding or not, and the YouTube TOS talk about licensing for embeds, so this seems okay. https://www.youtube.com/static?template=terms#fb098d3e34

2. Whether the embedding is being done in compliance with the YouTube API Terms of Service. There could be some issues here. https://developers.google.com/youtube/terms/api-services-ter... ; https://developers.google.com/youtube/terms/required-minimum... (see "Overlays" section).
Is this especially a problem for GitHub, though? I had never suspected that people would use the site in this way.
Or .unwrap(), which I see relatively often.
Can dang change the title. The actual title is "Polyphasic sleep takes napping to the extreme." Moreover, the article never claims that polyphasic sleep is unsustainable, just that many people who tried it abandon it due to social pressure.
Some message boards solve this issue by letting posters specify their location as a field in their profile (and displaying a flag under the username, etc.). Not advocating this for HN, just pointing out how that gets solved by other communities (weak profile differentiation is part of the appeal of HN, but also a magnifier for these issues).

Direct DOM manipulations are not necessarily incompatible with Vue or React.

I'm not sure in this specific case, but I'm saying this in general because there seems to be a common misconception. People jump through the craziest, smallest, highest, flaming-ist hoops to get everything to render through Vue/React. Using virtual scrollers that aren't fit for purpose. Trying to get d3/plotly running on the VDOM. Etc etc.

You can always just pop a DOM ref out and let something else take control of it; easy peasy.
I've tried this a few times - mostly in my twenties.

Back then I generally only slept 4-6 hours per night and when I wasn't trying to set a schedule, my sleep schedule would shift at least an hour a day. I was also drinking quite often and sometimes would stay awake for 24 - 36 hours at a time (coffee and booze only). All that is to say my sleep schedule in my twenties was a roller-coaster.

I got lots of work done. I got lots of partying in. Sometimes (many times) I mixed the two.

I say all that to say that I had a lot of freedom to play with my sleep schedules, and I tried quite a few.

I was able to do the two hours of sleep with four hours awake schedule for 2-3 weeks at a time and it generally worked pretty well as long as I adhered strictly. Getting less sleep than that at a time didn't feel right at all. If I pushed either the awake or sleep time, my body would automatically try to escape the schedule and it would be hard for me to get it back. The hardest part was fitting things into 4-hour blocks. If it was a stretch with nothing but work - like during some nasty winter weather - then it was easy, but as it's been said elsewhere, that gets hard to do when you have a social life.

When my son was born, I decided to finally lock in my sleep schedule - for the first time since I was a teenager. I was sleeping from 4am until noon, which allowed me to care for my son at night while my wife slept. This was key to a happy marriage, by the way. We were both getting 6-8 hours of uninterruped sleep a night with a newborn!

Once he was sleeping through the night (4-months-old, sleeping 12 hours a night!), I shifted to a "normal" schedule of 11pm-7am. While switching, I became so completely stuck into a 2x4-hour sleep schedule that it took about 3 weeks for me to get past and shift my sleep. It seems my body got so used to 7-8 full hour stretches, that it fought me from changing it. I suddenly understood why people have such a hard time with sleep! In my 40+ years of life, that was the hardest sleep schedule change I've ever made!

These days I do everything I can to get 7-8 hours and because of my boy I try to make sure that sleep is at night. I miss my revolving sleep schedule. I miss working at night. But my memory is far better. My caffeine intake is almost non-existent except for pleasure. My relationship with my wife is _probably_ better. And I get to spend time with my son every day, so it's a huge win.

As a side note, this sort of sleep schedule can be hell with a significant other, as I've dealt with plenty of times over the years. I'm very fortunate that my wife doesn't mind me shifting my schedule however I want, whenever I want, as long as I make time for her in my "day".

That doesn't make sense to me, siesta wastes precious daylight. If anything, the availability of light at night should have promoted daytime sleep, if there was any influence.
I'm not sure I can link the title to the body of this post.

What does the trending section have to do with taking the "fun" out of maintaining code?
I've thought for at least 15 years that my natural sleep pattern was 3AM->8AM with another "nap" from PM6->9PM. But this COV19 work from home thing, and my weekend sleeping patterns for a few years now, has been PM3-6PM.

So, whether this reflects some deep sleep dysfunction or what, I don't know. What I do know is that i'm a lot more productive/etc when I sleep when I feel tired.

Given how hot it gets in TX I don't really mind missing the 3-4 hours during the hottest part of the day.
I don't use it for discovery though: It's just easy to jump in and contribute or open an issue when it's a common platform I am already logged into. There's low friction to jumping in.

That doesn't mean I necessarily need social media features.
It works pretty well for tasks that are executed infrequently (no need to have a full application deployed), out of band (no need for a rapid response; we'll email you) and for tasks that can consume excessive resources (threatening other apps running on the server).

For us the perfect use case is the production of PDF reports: they aren't run that often; they can be emailed a few minutes later; and when too many of them are run at the same time, they would steal all the RAM on the server.
Whatever Can Happen, Will Happen
Disclosure: I work on Google Cloud.

It wasn't obvious to me if this is somehow mounting EFS over !NFS (since never says the words NFS in the post). My main fear when people say "Should I use Lambda / Google Cloud Functions / Cloud Run against my NFS server" my response isn't "How would you set that up" it's "Be careful. Cleaning up NFS locks held by clients that have gone away is fairly painful, and you have none of the mechanisms to make sure it exits properly".

Alternatively, you can mount without locking, and then you get one of the comments downthread about "and now you've given functions shared mutable state but with bad primitives".

tl;dr: Cool! ... But, how does this handle NFS locking?
Does anyone other than the author use these features? I didn't even know they existed.

To me, and I'd guess to most people, Github is just a place to host git repositories, nothing else.
