> error handling and [exceptions are] not suitable for that

I disagree :).

Exceptions are fundamentally equivalent to "return sum type" error handling pattern. In an exception-enabled environment, you can imagine every function returning some Foo is really returning a {Foo, Error}. Then, every call like below, outside of try/catch block:

value = SomeFunction();

is secretly translated to:

maybeValue = SomeFunction();
if(!maybeValue) { return maybeValue.error(); }

You can devise analogous translations for code in try/catch blocks.

The fundamental difference between exceptions and an Expected/Maybe mechanism is that exceptions don't force you to be explicit about all those Maybe values. If you want to handle some Error three layers up in the call stack, you don't have to litter the intermediary layers with explicit Maybes everywhere.

(This is, unfortunately, also their drawback in typical implementations - the set of possible Error types in the hidden Maybes becomes effectively open-ended, when with explicit Maybes, it's constrained and visible in source code - and, perhaps more importantly, in the ABI.)

The other day I did an experiment - I wrote two equivalent pieces of nontrivial production code, one using C++ exceptions, and other using the tl::expected library. If you looked past the syntactic noise, they mapped almost 1:1 in terms of error handling and error recovery patterns.
That isn't an offer of legal protections or guarantees that the trustworthiness and accuracy of their methods can be verified in court.

It really doesn't matter how they do it now that we know that iOS has vulnerabilities that allow remote monitoring and control of someone's device to the extent that it created a market for at least one espionage tool that has lead to the deaths of innocent people.

I remember when the popular way to shut down small forums, business competitors, or get embarrassing information taken off the web was to anonymously upload CP to it and then report it, repeatedly. With this, what's to stop virtual "SWATing" of Apple customers? Not necessarily just those whose Apple products have been compromised, whose iClouds have been compromised, or who are the victims of hash collisions (see any group of non-CSAM images that CSAM detection flags).

Will Apple analyze all hardware to ensure no innocent person is framed because of an undisclosed vulnerability? What checks are being offered on this notoriously burdensome process on the accused?

>If you think that Apple creates malicious iOS updates targeting specific people, then you have more to worry about than this new feature

Oof. Good point.
The ROM listings were usually "third party" efforts, for instance in Germany there was a fairly popular (among home computer enthusiasts) "xxx Intern" book series where most of the book consisted of the annotated ROM disassembly. For instance "CPC Intern":

This would be a reasonable point to make if there were reasonable alternatives for simpler version control. But for better or worse the world has standardized on git for all version control. If you want your "two phd student implement a new algorithm in a small python/julia package" to be found/used/talked about you need to be on github.

Heck even if you want to host a static site you probably want to just be on github these days.

Yet to me there is no reason for version control to be this complex. The current github + git universe is locked in, but I don't see why it should be optimal.
Who invented exceptions in the first place? Did they first appear in Java, encouraging C++ to imitate a java feature?

Seems fitting. With Pakistan backing the Taliban I hooe that this information is an leaked and made public.

A nuclear power with a chatotic-evil government is backing religious extremists who are taking over Afghanistan, again and are violently forcing extremist wahhabi on the people.

Imagine what will happen when the taliban takes over Pakistan.

The more leaks the better.

Yep. The Australian government made a big deal about how they were going to invest in hydrogen recently in an effort to signal that they’ve got some semblance of a future energy policy. The way it was spun was entirely based on the general public not understanding the nuance between green and blue hydrogen.

They get the best of both worlds, appease the fossil fuel industry while having the appearance of doing the opposite to anyone who’s not paying attention.

I can't speak for others, but as a hiring manager I prefer the latter because:

* It suggests the person understands the bigger picture behind what they're doing (rather than just "punching tickets")

* If your code sits in a 'financial critical path', this usually implies stricter requirements in your engineering in some respects -- you'll probably have had to think harder about reliability, cover more edge cases & co-ordinate with others more around requirements

Better not look up anything about /usr/bin/cp.

For the Hugin panarama suite one tool to find control points is named cpfind.

And using a notepad to take notes relies on your having learnt how to read and write in general, which took a significant amount of time.

This seems right, but I think we're seeing how resilient the real economy is, given appropriate financing. It's almost always the financial/monetary side that's the problem.

An economy can usually make more of stuff, or substitutes, and/or consume relatively painlessly. The pain kicks in when the financial sector feels pain. The real economy reshuffles if it's financed adequately.

Monetary policy, currently, finds itself oddly theoryless. I think this has actually made for better decision making. The own goal of trying to save and/or reduce debt in response to a shock hasn't been scored.

So... I agree that the economy has had to do a lot of resource, shuffling. Some prices have gone up in the real economy. People are still unemployed, in sectors like travel that really got shut down. In others, there's are some struggling to find labour. Mostly though, it's a case of "look how easy that was." In the financial economy, credit is available, keeping everything ticking.
All of us can only guess how much "fuzz" is being allowed for in their hash matches. I see no reason to believe Apple phoned in their analysis which leads them to be confident in a false positive rate of 1 in 1 billion per iCloud account. While we can only guess, they actually know how their algorithm behaves, and I dare say they've validated it against tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of real customer images.
The question is, what happens with the harvested wood? If it eventually gets burned or rots, then you've captured nothing. That means it can't be used for paper or furniture, or even most construction - they all have too short lifespans these days.

The optimum would be to bury the harvested forest in a deep, deep hole, where light and water can't get, and seal it there permanently.

> As an adult, I have a hard time not looking at everything I'm capable of and thinking "it's so simple, it obviously just works like this".

The way you fix this perception is teach the skill to someone with zero foundational knowledge of the skill’s background requirements. Or write if there is no person around. There is always documentation going begging.

IMHO, one of the biggest oversights I see in the industry today is the lack of inward-facing technical writer and editor teams, sitting alongside pair programmers and/or agile stand ups. Skills transmission works through a highly opaque diffusion membrane of tribal knowledge (reaching its peak form in StackExchange), and synchronous, people-intensive discussions, where insight is rarely if ever captured and memorialized.

Powerful, effective documentation prepared by professional programmers with professional communications skills asynchronously transmits insight and not just information. We have incredible tooling now, but ironically do not staff them.

One way to calibrate your imposter syndrome is write lots of documentation. In it, make sure you call out references for further to skill stacks you consider prerequisites lest you dilute your focus and the the prose becomes too unwieldy. And call out references to what you have used to learn meta information and abstractions beyond the current documentation’s focused skill band. If that list will routinely take an average practitioner at a particular skill level more than a year to absorb, then you have a fair baseline. Now update the documentation each time someone asks for clarification on a point in it. If there are lots of readers and few questions, then you possibly have a reasonable grasp of the material.

I was taught this when working at British Gas in the mid 80s. I remember this being followed by Delta 3GL which allowed you to allocate code to the pre and post hooks etc of each node. Your function ‘places’ were there and you just assigned code. It was a very methodical way of working and IMO left less room for error.

It's not quite true that they did nothing. A couple of times they dusted for prints, leaving silvery powder residue. After they found some of my bikes, they moved them into compounds where I had to pay a vehicle transport to get them back.

Yes, not news but definitely interesting. Some of these old unixes were only available for multi-thousand dollar machines. Current computers are powerful enough to run these systems somewhat comfortably inside emulators or using JIT or dynamic binary translation...

If 30 years ago you dreamed on using any of those systems, now you can do it.
While it is a clear win for security, git password auth is still part of the regular api that git provide.

Of course it doesn't have to be here...

At the moment, there is no third party settling a dispute. All that really happened is that there was consensus that this was 'a hack / theft' in all sense except for the 'code is law' interpretation.

Now, it seems that the thief was afraid of legal reprecussions, but that is sort of outside the scope of ethereum. It happens purely 'off chain'.

The interesting exception to this story is the original DAO heist. Where an Eth hard-fork was made to reverse the heist. In this case there was an intervention. That intervention took broad consensus of miners and developers. So it takes a pretty big effort to get disputes "resolved" away from what the smart contract says. That is an interesting deviation from normal contracts before a court. Personally, I do think that Eth should not have forked the DAO heist away, but I understand why they did.
A problem is everyone giving in to outrage. There are some negative side effects for everyone, but just ignoring it is the most viable PR reaction. The people don't want to forgive anyway, they want emotional acknowledgement that nobody can supply on the net.

We have books being scanned that were written 15 years ago that now have to be rewritten. Publishers should never acknowledge these criticisms, this is a form of the worst censorship literature has to content with.

Of course ignoring everything isn't a solution as well, outrage can indeed be justified. But I think outrage has to surpass a level that summons more actions than a twitter post or change.org petition. If outrage still persists, maybe there is a problem you need to address.

Companies that comply too willingly would also do it for any regime. It is nothing that should be praised at all, especially not seen as "progressive" or "tolerant". It should be an example about how the free enterprise indeed fails to act responsible and champion any values. That would be a healthy perspective.
This subject is further complicated by the fact that not everyone who actually "builds the thing" is a craftsman.

Craftsmen are generally high-level experts, because they are involved in craft production. Craft production means producing small numbers of highly customised things. One craftsman can often produce the entire thing from primitives. Craft production is not about precise tolerances and interchangeability; craft production is about sanding down this particular component until the fit is perfect for the specific one-off purpose. Did I mention this is very expensive and not reusable at all?

This is in contrast to e.g. mass production where interchangeability and huge volume and a single model ("any colour as long as it's black") rules. The mass production worker isn't drawing on a long and wide experience; they do a job that was designed to be learnt in a few days, and they do it over and over. No feedback cycles are designed into the system. You can make defective parts for hours or days and nobody will notice -- and it's probably best if you keep quiet about it, too. The important thing is that you produce your daily volume, defective or not. Mass production is all about local optimisation at the cost of system performance. But hey, it's cheaper than craft production! (And the output is correspondingly shoddier.)

Then lean production aims for the huge volumes of mass production, except by optimising the entire system instead of local tasks. Books have been written about this so I won't but the end product often costs less than the mass produced, and can also be of higher quality than the craft produced.

I bring this up because as quaint as craftsmen are, if our goal is to be like craft production we'll drive up costs and be outcompeted by someone who realises that craft production isn't all that hot other than for very specific up-scale purposes, where cost is a feature.
