Exceptions are harder to analyze because they create scopes from which you are already "handling" errors, but if you add code to the scope that throws a new error of that type your handler may not actually be able to handle it.

try {
someCall();
someOtherCall();
} catch (ErrorType err) {
//handle
}

Which method throws? If they both throw ErrorType but one of them cannot be handled, then you have to put additional logic into the catch and rethrow.

This is a common source of faulty error handling.
I do this with cash-secured puts for the same reason as you described.
You can get electronic probes that measure the stock automatically so you don’t need precision blanks. The probe loads in the tool changer so it can be completely automated. Automatic tool setting makes it so operators don’t need to measure new tooling in tool holders, and tooling wear can be monitored automatically.

I dabble in running a small machine-shop, and we are able to automate a good chunk of what people still do manually. The stock we use is cheap, straight from the mill stuff as we have the machine measure the stock with an electronic probe. The machines also have 20 pallets, so once the stock is loaded, the operator can leave the machine for 20x the cycle time of a part. The pallets don’t even have to be the same product, so we can queue up replacement of inventory with just the quantity that a customer ordered and offer a bunch of made-to-order parts with reasonable turnaround times.

The machines also monitor spindle vibration so they can tell if a tool looses an insert, and the tool-setter is used to check if solid tooling is still intact.

The only manual parts are taking raw materials off the suppliers truck, unloading finished parts (next on automation list), final assembly (working on automation for this), occasionally loading new tools as they wear/break and fulfillment.

> If it's the right solution, then it will be followed

Social isolation isn't an opt-in kind of measure. Furthermore, the average person doesn't have the background or tools to evaluate whether it works. It's a public health matter, and you do have to follow the advice of the relevant authorities.

This is like the law against drinking and driving in many countries: you cannot decide to opt-out of this restriction. It negatively affects others who do decide to comply with the restriction. If caught, you will be subject to some kind of penalty (such as having your license revoked), for good reason.
That's why you have counterfactual prediction markets. You don't have markets on an outcome; you have two markets of an outcome conditional on some action, and on an outcome conditional on that action not being taken.

This comment is as low-effort as the hypothetical examples.

Will they do things in that way? Heck, let’s just ask: are they doing things in those ways?

Just meaningless rhetoric (“being done fast and/or cheaply”) and unfounded hypotheticals.
> If it's the right solution, then it will be followed.

I'm sorry, I simply cannot let this go unchallenged. Even a moment's thought should demonstrate that that's not the case:

* It may be the objectively-best-solution for society as a whole, but not-best for an individual (for instance, a young healthy individual who is at low-risk for long-term impact for COVID, but who could act as an incubator and carrier to spread it to more vulnerable folks). The overall-harm-done by these free-circulating individuals will, I am willing to bet, be much more than the "harm" done to them by asking them to stay home.
* It may be the best solution, but to recognize that as such requires specialized scientific knowledge that the average person doesn't have. Meanwhile, propagandists are free to influence society as they wish with more-easily-consumable (but, possibly, less true) messages.
* Similarly to the 2nd point - it may be the right solution, but that might not be obvious until late in the process. In this situation, trusting experts and following their advice earlier will reduce the overall harm done.

The calculus of impact here is "what is the harm done by following advice if it's wrong?", vs. "what is the harm done by not-following advice if it's right?". Folks are free to make their own decision on this, but almost-every analysis I've seen suggests that "staying home" is the massively better choice, _even if_ the global pandemic turns out to have been less-severe than first expected (in fact, the opposite seems to be true). All of that is leaving aside the fact that much of the harm done by isolation could have been offset by basic social welfare programs (stimulus cheques, UBI, etc.)

Contrary to the common American mindset, freedom is not, in fact, always an unalloyed good - especially when incentives for an individual are in opposition to incentives for a group. (ironically, I wrote this summary _before_ reading your second paragraph, but it works even better. Your argument that "a previous social program restricted freedoms in an unproductive and unhelpful way, therefore any social program which restricts freedoms is unproductive and unhelpful" does not hold)

* I'm not assuming that you are American, but I _am_ contrasting my position with a mindset that I have noticed disproportionately _among_ Americans.

I will credit Garriott and Molyneux as being some of the most [overly] ambitious game designers, and this is not at all a bad thing in my opinion. Not everything they did worked, but when it did, they created history. And even when it did not work, at least they attempted to break new ground.
It's my pet name for "User experience". Because that's what UX is. My sources are: any book on UX or website design :).

In it's good form it's learning how to design interfaces that are intuitive (i.e. they lead you to what you need).
In it's bad form it's used to lead you to what the owners want (i.e. conversion to sales in it's purest form, or, in the case of Facebook, something much much worse).

I've been debating publishing a blog calling on the EU to stop using the utterly incorrect term "social network" and start using something more appropriate like "advertising platform" or, even more appropriately something that includes a nod to their primary factor of success - induction of emotional liability and reactivity in humans.
That's why there is the invalid token too.
Depends very much on the company. In London there's a huge variety of private hire operators ranging from ones that are almost certainly worse than Uber - but also much smaller - to ones that do have well paid fully employed drivers.

The reason the smaller ones haven't faced more attention is that these actions usually require the person who wants employment status themselves to raise the issue and be prepared to take their employer to tribunal or court.

Indeed, though at 3:2 you are apparently at considerable risk of the loan being called by anyone (with no margin call beforehand):

If the value of the ETH collateral that you deposited drops to less than 150% the value of the DAI you withdrew, anyone can come in and "liquidate" the vault, forcibly selling the ETH to buy back the DAI and charging you a high penalty. Hence, it's a good idea to have a high collateralization ratio in case of sudden price movements; I had over $3 worth of ETH in my CDP for every $1 that I withdrew.

The point isn't really about institutional racism or police brutality, per se. The virus doesn't know or care about your cause or ideology, it spreads through a crowd regardless.

The point is that there might be reasons why violating social distancing and lockdown mandates might be worth it. Protesting police brutality is one reason. Avoiding unemployment and accompanying mental health issues is another. One of these protests got the public approval of health care professionals and the other didn't. There was an entire movement called White Coats for Black Lives who endorsed the protests. Again, worth it. However, there's an entire class of folks who don't have options for remote pajama jobs. The protests against lockdowns was about avoiding the devastating effects to their lives.

Well Windows is basically Chrome so your diversity will basically be Chrome & WebKit which is what you have anyway. And having all the fun of web development against multiple browsers with all the headaches of desktop distribution is kind of the worst of all worlds. It'll be interesting to see if this approach finds success (since it may cut down on the size of your binary) but it could easily get abandoned if any significant projects start using this as frontend devs create pressure to simplify the stack across platforms.

On Linux it's going to pull in GTK which means a not great experience on KDE (even though KDE does have WebKit hooks like GTK does).

Isn't windows system webview now a chromium fork? This should make incompatibility on the major platforms now much less of an issue.
ballistic routing was my strategy. ballistic routing is the technique of setting a goal post that feels unrealistic, moving as quickly as you can towards it, but accepting any distractions that come along. once you get bored of your distraction adopt your old or a new goalpost.

I originally got into programming because of an interest in computer animations. using computers more got me interested in security. when I got to school my new goalpost was cryptography.
My first job out of school was developing a password key manager. The interest in cryptography and experience in security landed me a job at a company that did that work, but my position was in machine learning and programming languages. Because of some of the ML applications I got to see the new goal was to get into environmental studies, graduate school allowed me to explore computational models for light pollution and cetacean vocalizations. I did this concurrently as a data engineer for a neuro imaging lab
datapipelines and interest in cetaceans give me a brief run as a web developer for animal tracking site. This cumulated in pushing me towards data science. now I work in machine learning for computer security.

I think what we’re seeing is that the set of people making bets on political outcomes leans sharply Republican. It’s selection bias.

There may be a broader message there about representation too: if you are sitting in a meeting and 8 people think something is going to happen, but you disagree, and they are all upper class men (for example), and you’re a lower class woman, you probably have a better than 1 in 9 chance of being right, if it’s an issue that affects the public generally. People don’t realize their views are non representative if they live in an echo chamber.

I still wonder about this. I'm competent enough at Haskell to have made several additions to GHC itself, though I readily admit I'm no SPJ. I also believe that for a general purpose program, Haskell _should_ be a good choice. But in practice I make mostly web apps and no amount of "write down the types then fill in the gaps and compose it all together" can replace the amount of scaffolding that things like Rails give me.

A better word might have been “failure”.

Something is a failure when it fails to do what it says it does.

openfile();

If openfile() does not open a file, then it failed.

This terminology makes it clear we are not just bubbling up errors. It’s the function itself which failed.
TypeScript doesn't have to solve memory safety problems because JavaScript effectively does not have them. Marking whether things are strings, integers or objects is a much easier problem than e.g. assigning correct lifetimes to C pointers.
"Prediction markets" is a fancy word for gambling. It is a highly regulated activity almost everywhere, mainly has it can have terrible consequences at the individual levels and major side-effects such as corrupt games in sports. Let's not even talk about politics where it is generally forbidden for obvious reasons.

The conclusion is disheartening "It shows a lot about how market efficiency actually works in practice, what are the limits of it and what could be done to improve it." Yes at a small scale, but at the current rate of adoption of crypto it will not go well if it is still treated as a playground.

While I am not unsympathetic for the plight of those impacted by this I am left with a feeling that those very same people that are in this unexpected bill situation would have kept an eye on their meter/utility bills during the 'good' times to boast about how much they were saving versus the 'suckers'. In my eyes I think this quote from the energy company says it all -

Griddy told all of its customers earlier this week that they should switch to another power supplier as electricity prices soared as high as $9,000 a megawatt-hour on Monday.

"We made the unprecedented decision to tell our customers—whom we worked really hard to get—that they are better off in the near term with another provider," Michael Fallquist, chief executive officer of Griddy, said in a statement.

"We want what's right by our consumers, so we are encouraging them to leave," Fallquist continued. "We believe that transparency and that honesty will bring them back."

Hats off to them for being so honest.
When you look for the small differences, "better" becomes the same as "different". Ordinary wines all taste very similar, while supposedly "great" wines are more distinctive.

It's much like movies: summer blockbusters are all pretty similar, at a coarse level, while smaller indie films have more range. It doesn't make them better or worse, just different.

That is, as you say, cultural programming. You don't have to buy into it. You have a million options for your hobbies. Which is what wine tasting is -- a hobby. It just so happens to be a hobby with a very high-profile high end, but you don't have to play that game to find wine interesting. The differences between a $50 wine and a $5 wine are pronounced enough to be interesting.

I see what you're getting at here.

On one hand, yes, obviously China's numbers cannot be trusted, at all.

On the other hand, most of their neighbors, whose numbers are substantially more trustworthy, also managed to get it under some semblance of control.

Given the latter point, I'm guessing they mostly got it under control.
The psychological toll is from there being a deadly global pandemic.

I agree that there's going to be an ambient level of anxiety from knowing that there's a nasty disease out there, but are you really saying that not being able to see your friends and family, or losing your job, or having to scramble to work from home while managing your children's remote "learning" has no additional impact?

there's not some magical other option where the pandemic is anything other than a very difficult situation

Lockdowns aren't binary. We're allowed to consider the costs and benefits of individual measures. Banning large indoor events: probably worth it. Forbidding people from leaving their homes: probably not. And then you get into the more controversial areas like shutting down schools and trying to forbid small gatherings, where different governments have made different choices and it is not at all clear that stronger measures lead to better Covid outcomes.
Concrete example, Walmart took out life insurance on its employees because they were betting that their horrible working conditions made people more likely to die than the insurance companies thought. And then were incentivized to make those conditions worse.

See https://www.bankrate.com/insurance/life-insurance/dead-peasa... for an overview of current regulations that resulted from that.

I think reddit is likely the worst with click fraud. Reddit is not gated by user login so bots can click on ads without having a user account. Being new to the ad space, they likely don't have the sophisticated bot detection tools that Google has to invalidate fraudulent clicks.
Looks like Griddy customers save 25 to 30 percent over retail electricity costs, so in some cases those savings could exceed the high prices they are seeing now. In addition the retail customer will eventually pay for this event when rates are raised in the future to cover their costs. I wonder how frequently you can jump providers.

It is a roll of the dice, sometimes I am ahead on my TOU plan and sometimes I know I am behind.
An interview for me turned from going well to disaster because of a single mention I made that I was not a fan of seeing every single project with the microservice lens.

You know the concept of "conversion".

So, so, so many people don't. Idea of ROI is foreign to them. Facebook is going this whole "be your own advertiser" thing and ... well, it's working.

They see the pretty graphs and big number ("You reached 50k people!") and they thing it's fantastic. The idea that the conversion from 50k impressions could be 0% ... does not compute, because they imagine 50k people spending cognitive energy on their ad ... not 50k people scrolling past the ad never even noticing it.
Actually Ultima 7 serpent Isle also felt like being on rails (didn't finish it), maybe later it's better.

> Companies spend millions of dollars on these platforms

I agree with your point on the large companies that can spend millions of dollars.

The folks that really get hurt by this stuff are the smaller businesses. It can be an expensive lesson when you think you're getting value from these services because they're providing bogus metrics. It's even more difficult if you can't correlate it to online sales, things like restaurants/retail locations this is especially difficult.
Comcast reluctantly drops data-cap enforcement in 12 states for rest of 2021
Anyone who is spending any reasonable amount of money knows that. Remember that ad spend that's not conversion oriented is really fuzzy anyhow. Small timers are not spending huge dollars just to show people images of things.
It is not that they are inserting the mistakes on purpose, but rather the contractors actually doing the edits are not responding to changeset comments saying "Hey, you've been persistently making a tagging error with regard to X, could you please stop?"

But the GP's point pretty obviously wasn't a calculation of percentages, just comparing absolute numbers. As a percentage of the population it also holds, since that is the same whether you're looking at start-ups or rhe lottery.

Another way to look at it is ease of entry: If you're already playing the lottery, also joining a start-up isn't all that easy (as you said yourself, the number who do is much lower). If you're already working at a start-up, OTOH, also playing the lottery...
