Swift considered this and still decided to have untyped error returns. The issues are:

- wrapping every underlying error in your own error type is not helpful

- but defining every underlying error in your own type confuses your implementation (and especially dependencies) with your interface

- and most errors can't be handled in code anyway

There are a few errors (mostly in file operations) that are individually handled as normal parts of life, but otherwise they really are just there to send back up to the user. It's more important to know where an error can happen than what it is.

The toys that you build not necessarily have to make the users happy, but it needs to connect at some emotional level. The more visceral the emotion, the better is the connection. For example, I'm never happy when I use blind in fact it mostly just makes me depressed. But it invokes a deep emotional reaction that I want to go back to using it time and again. Similarly, the echo chambers in social media don't make people happy but provide an emotional vent that makes these applications a huge success.
You could break the problem of closed timelike loops by having a preferred reference frame for the Universe where nothing could travel backwards in time relative to that reference frame. And the CMBR rest frame might be an artifact of that preferred reference frame existing in the early Universe.

The whole point of warp drive FTL, and the reason it's the only kind of FTL idea taken seriously, is that it wouldn't violate GR. We already have widely accepted physical theories that contain exactly this kind of FTL 'travel': the Big Bang theory posits that space in the early universe expanded faster than the speed of light.

The "fundamental attribution error" is an example of projection, a psychological phenomenon generated by a neural substrate, that humans do a lot.

Indeed, what is remarkable about human "consciousness" is firstly that so many humans spend so much of their time projecting reality instead of sensing and decoding it, and secondly, that they are unaware they do this.

We see things not as they are, but as our model predicts.

The main thesis of Morgenroth is that men and women are equal in terms of their ability to be communal… but are they?

No evidence offered, just some philosophical symmetry “it has to be” argument is concocted.

I don’t buy it: in western countries you are protected by law if you want to take parental leave, so if men want to do it they should do it regardless of what “society” thinks. The law gives them the power to do so, hence who cares about the hypothetical existence of these “deep prejudices”: even if it is as bad as they say, it’s not like anyone can fire them.

But you might miss out on your career: and that is logical… if you go away for 5 months, then your colleague who is ultra competitive and childless and was waiting for his chance will just snatch up your position and when you are back you will find yourself sidelined. I see zero issues with this: you prioritised family, hence where your career will go from that point shouldn’t matter to you at all. Are people supposed to modify business objectives due to personal choices? If people do believe the answer is yes, we are entering the land of such deeply ingrained entitlement that to me that is the real problem. No one owes you anything in life: if you think otherwise, you are set for a disaster.
This is very different and it seems a lot of people misunderstand this.

Undefined behavior is not "data structure being corrupted". When data structures are corrupted, program still functions as written.

Undefined behavior is "things fly off the ceiling", no logic applies and programs start behaving essentially randomly because of the optimizations.

Undefined behavior is not broken data. That is still a well defined behavior.

The Silent Lessons of a Quiet Place Part II
The sad part is that when you become wealthy, you realize that you can just ignore the whole insurance scam [*] and not buy it. Insurance has negative expected value. It only makes sense to insure against events that would materially change your lifestyle. At a certain degree of wealth, your house burning down no longer has that effect, nor does just about anything other than lawsuits or medical problems. Even health insurance typically has lifetime maximums in the single-digit millions.

So don't look to the wealthy to fix this one. They don't have this problem.

[*] except health insurance [**] and vehicular liability insurance where required by law in places that do not allow posting a cash bond instead (almost every state in the US does).

[**] unless you're wealthy enough to make large donations to hospitals, which is much better than having health insurance.

Put a good striker in a fight with someone who isn't a good striker. The skilled fighter would evade most of what the unskilled fighter threw at them. There isn't even much need for blocking and covering if most of what is coming at you isn't making significant contact in the first place. Now take out the rules. If the unskilled fighter couldn't land a punch on the skilled fighter before, why would you expect them to suddenly be able to land an extremely precise strike to a vulnerable area now? And why wouldn't the skilled fighter also be able to do the same but better since they still have more power and accuracy and the unskilled fighter still has weaker defence?

It's the same with grappling. It's true that a joint lock can be devastating and that's why we usually disallow most of them in combat sports, but to be applied reliably you need some control over the area around the joint. Put a good grappler in a fight with someone who isn't a good grappler. The good grappler is going to control the position better. Now take out the rules. If the unskilled fighter couldn't get a good position to control the skilled fighter before, why would you expect them to suddenly be able to apply an effective joint lock now? And why wouldn't the skilled fighter also be able to do the same but better since they still have a better position to work from and the unskilled fighter still has weaker defence?

MMA is a sport and an MMA match isn't like a "real" fight for all kinds of reasons but simple, efficient, effective techniques such as you see in MMA matches are a good foundation for "real" fighting too, even if you might choose to add other types of training as well for use outside the controlled environment.

Yes, at least partially.

Some art pieces are done by ignoring parts of that and doing something new but basically all art is using at least some.

> A different philosophy reigns in domains that demand efficiency and speed (e.g., infrastructure software). Systems programming languages such as C and C++ sacrifice safety and comprehensive semantics for performance. These languages, despite being meticulously standardized, do not define the behavior of all code that compiles.

This is really just a problem with C and C++, though, not systems programming in general. Obviously those are the most popular languages for it, but that's something of an accident; it's not due to their use of undefined behavior. If anything their use of undefined behavior may be beginning to drive people away, and famously the Linux kernel uses special compiler settings to turn off some such optimizations.

Moreover, as already noted by hwayne in another comment, undefined behavior was originally primarily for compatibility purposes; compilers didn't begin exploiting it for (expected-semantics-destroying) speedups until much later.

So, I think it is a mistake to frame the dispute in this way, identifying systems programming with being pro-undefined-behavior. It seems to me that the "school of thought" (not actually a school of thought) that says that behavior should be predictable from source encompasses most systems programmers too.

In my anecdata at my workplace: I'm glad to say that taking 6 months shared parental leave is now seen as the norm. In every case the parent, in their return has come back and said that they feel more fulfilled (but of course very tired) . A downside follows shortly after, they discover the cost of childcare in the UK. It's almost the price of rent! And sadly some of my colleagues have left the country shortly after having a second child, citing the costs.

Flip side, we are slightly surprised if we come across men who aren't taking advantage of shared parental. It's very rare now but those who don't are unspokenly seen as "traditional".
Oh definitely. Being a junior rank also has privileges etc.

There are also other conventions we - as a society - try to break away from. So discussion and alternatives to conventions is something completely fine.
This puts the locus of control outside yourself, though.
Why is it always "doctors" and not "administrators" in these threads on HN? They don't set the price of the drug. They don't set the price of an ER visit. If their hourly rate seems high, have you seen the hourly rate of a plumber who absolutely did not go to school for ten years?
The response time guaranteed is for a reasonably sized model. Bigger models (> 700 MB) will take a bit longer.

> men and women are equal in terms of their ability to be communal… but are they?

Even if the two populations aren't equal on average, undoubtedly some men are more communal, and some women are less so. You can't do comparisons on populations as though they were individuals!

But with a stereotype that becomes a norm, even especially-communal men, married to especially-non-communal women, will be pressured into not taking parental leave because people think the wife should do it. That pressure could include, for example, harsher career consequences than a woman would face for taking parental leave. And that's neither good nor fair.

So stereotypes are dangerous, even when they're accurate. (Which this one might not even be!)
> I was an early stage founder and took the full time off to set an example for the company culture.

How many of your employees actually did the same thing? (I'm not asking if they were encouraged to do so, I'm asking how many of your employees did take full paternity leave when they fathered children). That would be a more relevant information about the company.
You are right in that there are gracious players. Not all are dubious. But sadly it seems it is increasingly not the way to bet.

Question: How is a "forever chemical" different from any other chemical?

Google search:

> "PFAS are commonly referred to as “forever chemicals”"

Google search:

> PFAS = Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances

Wikipedia entry, 'environmental concerns' section:

> In 2009, PFASs were listed as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) under the Stockholm Convention [1], due to their ubiquitous, persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic nature.

> The nickname was derived by combining the two dominant attributes of this class of chemicals:

> 1) PFAS chemicals are characterized by a carbon-fluorine (C-F) backbone (the "F-C" in "Forever Chemicals"); and

> 2) the carbon fluorine bond is one of the strongest bonds in organic chemistry, which gives these chemicals an extremely long environmental half-life

Wikipedia entry, Fluorine, PFAS mention:

> Dwell time in the body varies greatly by species, with half-lives of days in rodents, and years in humans.

BLE should draw less power. Wifi is too power hungry to run on batteries. I first bought two Shelly wifi sensors but then switched to Sonoff Zigbee enabled sensors because the wifi devices only send a couple of samples a day. BLE a better choice but unfortunately most consumer IoT BLE enabled sensors come with proprietary junk and encrypted protocols (Xiaomi, looking at you) most of them are not worth the hassle.

My job offered 4 months of of paternity leave with pay. And an optional 2 extra months off without pay. So you could think of it as 6 months at 2/3rds pay. It didn’t have to be taken at one time either. There was a small restriction that you had to start the leave within 1 year of the baby’s first birthday. The company also offered it for people adopting, so it applied for all people regardless of gender or lifestyle. You could only apply for it 3 times though. So no having 10 kids to escape working. :P

I took two months off when our baby was first born. Then I took 4 months off when the baby was about 9 months so we could spend New Years in Japan with my wife’s mother. While abroad on leave the pandemic hit, flights we canceled and we got stranded. Upon returning everyone was working remote so we stayed in Japan for about a year.

I’m so grateful for that time. We spent the mornings watching morning kids shows, paying with grandma, going to the park, etc. My daughter speaks Japanese as a first languages and has advanced in so many ways because of that time off.

I’ve heard stories of very senior people being pressured to take less time. The logic being: If you’re gone for 6 months and everything functions just fine, are you really that important? My advice from those people was the company puts it there for a reason, take your time, you earned it, everyone is jealous.
