And that is exactly the wrong approach. You really can’t do anything with the error case at most places. If I write a web server, which parts could knowingly handle a db connection error? Either the db driver internally, or going 10 deep higher and the request handler returning an 500 error.

In go you would just verbosely (and error pronely!!) have to manually bubble it up, while this is automatically happening in Java with an informative stack trace, with no option to forget about it. Java is the one that handles error cases properly (and that’s why you might see exceptions more there — because they weren’t silenced somewhere wrongly!) here.

Nokia's problem was their UI, which was not controlled by Symbian, not the underlying OS. Hundreds of Symbian-OS based phones were on the market from 2001, including in the Japanese market which had the most testing. The p800 and p910 had a UI similar to iPhone and Android in 2003, 3 years before the iPhone, on 3G networks. The second version of the Symbian OS kernel from 2003 was real time i.e. a comms stack could be run together with the apps off the one CPU. Are the Linux kernel or iOS kernel real time now even?

Android OS and iOS are hacks of desktop OSes so are optimised for performance rather than battery life or memory usage; Symbian OS was designed as a mobile OS from the beginning optimising power and memory management.

It was the timing of Google's IPO which scuppered Symbian. Google were able to spend billions getting Android in place to capture Symbian's market share and customers as iPhone buzz grew the market.
It wasn’t “repaid”, the FTT was posted as collateral for the loans (customer deposits).

But still, should be fine at that point, right? The loans are nice and overcollateralized, what could go wrong?

Problem is that FTT is itself a bet on FTX. So if the news comes out that FTX and Alameda have these shady linkages, some of your customers will want to withdraw—and at the same time, FTT will fall.

Oops—the value of that collateral just crashed and now you don’t have enough assets to process the withdrawals.

Which makes FTT fall more, and more people want to withdraw.

It’s not like some fluctuation in Bitcoin price, where maybe you could get lucky and wait for it to come back up. FTT is just a bet on you, and you can’t process withdrawals, so why would that ever come back up?

And now you’re insolvent.

this is the crux of the problem. that and the lack of color in people's vocabulary.
I guess I just don’t believe the leaf nodes in your example actually know who isn’t performing, but had decided to keep them on the team for reasons. And that if they are asked, they will suddenly name names with pinpoint accuracy. In my experience, in this situation, the managers are clueless and figuring out what is actually going on is a hard problem.

I have several artistic lives.

My first one was in graphic design. I've studied it in college and done it professionally for many years. At first it was fascinating and artistically fulfilling. Each new logo was a small new adventure. I've worked on them for weeks, I fought with clients to keep my ideas, It took tons of effort from me and from them to achieve something.
Through the years I became so much better at logo making. It took me a week to produce a logo that I was kind of happy with. Now I can do 5 better ones just in a couple of hours. I went through the same process that the author of the article went and became an art-producing machine.
But at the same time I burned out and lost the love for my artworks. They lost their story and meaning. They were not special anymore. I remember the projects I've worked on in the first months of my career, but it's hard to remember what I've worked on last month. My hands are having fun doing what they know, but the artistic soul feels empty and unfulfilled.

At some point of burning out on graphic design I've picked up music. Started singing, learning instruments from scratch, writing simple stuff. Five years later, I have about 10-15 songs that I am really happy with. I don't have children, but those songs are the most similar that I've experienced to fatherhood. I am so proud of them. They don't feel like mine, or even like a part of me, but I love them and am happy that I did what was needed for them to exist.

My musical life is an absolute struggle. It was so hard starting learning music in my 20s from scratch. It was hard picking up each instrument, hard to perform before people. Each song takes me months of stressful rewriting. I still haven't recorded most of my stuff and am sticking to live performance for now. Of course I spend most of my practice time thinking of how I can improve this process, get better, more efficient. I love my songs and I want to be able to create much more of them and much faster.

But at the same moment, do I?

Well that's a shame. I buy a lot of paper books because I love the physical aspect of it but I can't be bothered to bring them along when travelling, especially large ones.

I usually just grab a digital copy off of z-library to put on my e-reader and that works wonders.
The nice part about "pirating" books also comes from the removal of DRM, which are a pain to deal with when your e-reader doesn't have internet access.

I would be all out to buy from a store that gives you both format (paper and digital) but unfortunately that's still kinda rare.
Has there been a study of how well any of these work in VR ? I'd like to know which ones are intuitive and comfortable for navigating with hand motions and viewer teleportation.
Signing up and using it is no more complicated than Twitter once you choose an instance. The Gradient (which I am part of) set up a new Mastodon instance (sigmoid.social) last week for the AI community which now has 3.5k active users - it took off rather quickly. My hope is that Mastodon becomes like a cross between Discord and Twitter; specific communities such as AI people set up an instance for themselves via a simple hosting service (eg we used MastoHost which made it almost as easy as starting a Slack or Discord) which makes signing up super easy.

Would this role be good to transition to engineering management in the future? I find the role much less technical than I thought. It's a lot of coordination with stakeholders to ensure we are building something they want. Letting go of my technical mindset has been the greatest challenge for me since I worry I will not be hireable.
Took a glance, it seemed the author took exception handling as simple as try {} catch{} and thus never discuss OS' role in exception handling.

But one of the most expensive part in user mode exception handling is context switches between user mode and kernel mode.

As a German, I'm perfectly fine with the reserves serving Europe and not just Germany. Even if/when we run low and have to suffer a bit.

After all, we expect the same from others, that they help us out if they have some and we don't. Energy markets in Europe are connected, for electricity too.

To be clear, "crypto" is just a book that says these individuals own however many tokens. It doesn't guarantee that anyone will abide by what the books says. It doesn't guarantee that nobody will take your real wealth from you by force.
The problem is centralized rules. Different cultures has different rules. Joining it up to one platform and then enforcing one cultures rules on all the other culture is Not Okay.

There are different views on nudity around the world. Nipples are normal where I'm from.
There are different views and limitations on speech around the world.
There are different views on copyright around the world. What's the term limit?
There are different views on what constitutes animal abuse around the world. Try posting about the local bullfights on facebook. Or try posting videos from the cockfight from the cockfighting arena.

Different mastodon servers, and heck, maybe different fediverses, will fuel diversity in this regard, without One Set of Rules to Rule them All.
MS Teams is not winning the users; it is rather winning IT managers since it seems to be cheap/free. It is among the worst piece of software I ever had to use. It's laggy as hell, and nothing is presented in a logical way.
If a particular zone is overloaded, the carriers will for sure throttle usually just the offending people. As much as I support the argument in its general meaning, the carriers and ISPs especially in the US are probably the last thing anyone should vouch for given monopolistic policies, total market control and insane prices.
In the before times, "Is there a Zoom for this?" was a live question. Zoom fatigue, such as it was, did not dominate working life. Savvy collaborators anticipated when a conversation would demand more than Zoom, and they made judicious use of the public transit between our offices to keep things smooth.

My enthusiasm for RTO is not about changing the venue from which we take our Zoom calls, but about changing our relationship with Zoom to something like its pre-pandemic state. To have some conversations naturally again. But there's no getting around that the WFHers would have to either show up or be excluded from them.

I personally find Zoom excruciating, and I blame the transition to remote meetings for all communication for turning a once optimistic and joyful career experience into a miserable slog.
> “GNU/Linux” is simply a subset of “Linux”

Can you elaborate on this? I really don't understand why you say this. In a GNU/Linux distro Linux provides the kernel, and GNU the userland tools. How can GNU/Linux be a subset of Linux? Your next sentence makes it clear you don't mean superset, so I'm lost at understanding what you mean.
Well 20 miles from a navigable river looks a lot like most of populated Europe and China...

But I absolutely take the point - anything that can fit in an online comment is a gross simplification- especially for "farming since invention of agriculture".

Also the 20 mile is not a hard limit - it's easy to envisage some kind of system where I grow my cash crops near transport like river or coast, and sell them on a trade network, and you grow different crops further out and bring them not to the river / coast but to me to feed me. That probably will be more efficient but just look at the network of trust and possible disasters required - only very stable politics would allow anything like that - and that stability was rare. China probably had more of that for more of the past 2000 years than anywhere else - and that may be the cause of the invention of the bureaucrat!
Take a look at RAI.
I really like Shapr3D -- the entire onboarding and then modelling process feels like a new generation of tools.
No, that's a worse analogy. The issue is not with the amount consumed. We're well aware that there's no such thing as all-you-can-eat or "unlimited" anything. A Matt Stonie would be banned from any all-you-can-eat buffet.

What's egregious is ISPs also enforcing _how_ I'm allowed to consume the data I'm paying for. So the fork analogy is much more appropriate.
Same here. It doesn't work in Golang world. I stopped using ORMs (especially GORM), realized it's completely incompetence in generating SQL queries. It doesn't worth it, just another bounds.
I really need to remind you folks that you are transferring your trust to these local server administrators. They might mishandle your data. They might be even less prepared to deal with moderation than big social media. They might end up having to close their services due to lack of time or money.

It’s all fun but please keep this in mind. Perhaps host your own instance?
There is much more than the superficial code analysis. Especially on Windows, there is a whole framework of how exceptions are handled etc.. To me, exceptions are super expensive, we should avoid if we can.
Not sure about that. I didn't even knew FTX existed. Alt coins the drama surrounding them are too high volume low impact. But I always thought of crypto as gambling with extra steps. I think that most people in crypto know the ropes by now.

Hi, I am looking for a remote opportunity as a FullStack/Backend Developer.

I have 3+ years of full time work experience. I mainly contribute to design and develop several distributed systems that service for million users. I am really familiar with modern web development and proficiency in JavaScript(NodeJS) and Golang, as well as experience in using MySQL, Redis, Kafka, Docker, etc. I am willing to learn new tech stack.

In the past, I also worked remotely for several startups, as a Full Stack Developer, develop web pages by PHP(Laravel), React and Vue and implement RESTful APIs.

I am looking forward to show you how I can write high quality code and design reliable systems.

PS: I am sorry that I am not interested in Web3/blockchain/NFT.
I've tried to read the white paper, but I'm not confident I understood enough, and it seems Monero does some extra things as well beside protocol described in the paper. It didn't seem to me that the information is destroyed in any way, but it did seem true that many pieces that are absolutely required to de-anonymize were never part of the network, so they can't be gleaned.

It did seem though that some targeted attacks where you obtain the private keys of separate individuals could allow you to confirm that they transacted via Monero in the past by inspecting the block chain with these keys.

SolveSpace is much better than FreeCAD. Honestly it's the only free CAD worth bothering with. The biggest limitation is no fillets or bevels, but it sounds like FreeCAD can't do that either.

But honestly if you're doing a decent amount of CAD as a hobbyist the only sensible option is to pirate Solidworks.

Is there a big commute? Since I moved to a 15 000 pop town and work here my view on remote as the best thing ever has changed. Also we have private offices. So I don't know if it is the commute or offices that makes it so much better.

We have a remote of you want policy and the only two guys who use it also live in the nieghboring towns.
Same here in Denmark. Maybe it is easier due to a flat company structure, and micro-managment being less common. It is not expected or even tolerated by workers, who will just jump ship if it happens.
10 years ago I would have maybe agreed. I wouldn't start with Ruby and Rails today just like I wouldn't have started with Perl 10 years ago.
> I always thought that the shortest day shouldn't be the first day of winter, but rather the middle

That's not just you. Every traditional calendar says the same thing.

As far as I can tell, the idea that winter starts on the solstice, when it's been winter for more than a month (unless you're in the tropics), is an invention of Hallmark or some other calendar manufacturer. It is based on nothing.

I tried reading Poor Richard's Almanac[1] to see if it indicated the "beginning of [any season]", but if it does I didn't understand. (There is a column of "remarkable days", but it is often difficult to understand the entries in that column.)

Careful track is kept of the exact time of sunrise and sunset, and of what kind of weather to expect ("rain"; "snow"), but the seasons don't seem to be labeled explicitly.

Interestingly, I browsed through the Almanac of 1748 as a sanity check while writing this comment, and the sunrise and sunset times clearly identify June 14 (well, the 8-day period from June 10 to June 17) as the summer solstice (we'd expect June 20 or 21) and, much more weirdly, March 8 (exactly) as the vernal equinox, where we'd expect March 20. The autumnal equinox is September 11 and the winter solstice is sometime between December 3 and December 18.

Either Benjamin Franklin was terrible at calculating astronomical dates, or there was a calendar adjustment between then and now.

For a recap of WebP history: https://bit.ly/image_ready_webp_slides

If you look at slide #14, you'll see Opera was an early adopter.
Firefox published a "No" blog-post in 2013, and Safari removed WebP support from Sierra preview in 2016, eventually adding it back in 2020. Stuff happened.

And yes, when WebP was created there was a real, non-incremental, need for a Web-oriented image format. Nowadays, it's just incremental improvement on this idea for browsers.

I am partially surprised that the reading portal is the same as the authoring one.

It would feel better if we had one great feed reader, and an authoring pumping station.

Who moderates offshore content?
You can, but it takes a little bit of wringing your hands.

You can inspect the entire construct tree that is created (minus anything created by Custom Resources, which are opaque to the CDK) via the Aspects visitor pattern. It allows you to audit the entire tree of resources.

The Annotations framework allows you to add flags (notes, warnings, and errors) to any object in the construct hierarchy.

Depends on what part you're concerned with.

Backend: PHP with Laravel
I haven't used it in a while since I work on greenfield projects now. But when I did, Laravel did wonders. Documentation is complete, everything you need is documented and it's basically copy and paste for all the common things.

Frontend: Hard to say.
If you don't need much functionality, just use basic HTML, JS and CSS. Render your HTML with PHP and use the minimum amount of JS you can.

Otherwise I'd say React. I work with it every day and I think it's great. But wouldn't consider it to be "boring" at all. There's new things every day and you need to keep up & navigate the traps.

Unfortunately frontend is still very unstable until now.
Gotta love the naming choice: of the two mentioned well-known CLI clients with good Emacs and Vim integration, notmuch and mu, guess which one is mujmap made for?

That's right, it's for notmuch.
I don't really have a dog in either kennel, but something about the idea that a human absolutely must be in the control loop for a currency to work feels... not wrong, but maybe "not wrong so far".

We've managed to get computers to do some really batshit stuff. Drive cars, make art, algorithmically trade to a level of success a human could never dream of, etc. I don't know if a solution to the problem of managing the stability of a currency is around the corner, but I'm fairly sure somewhere in the future it exists.

And then, I can't help but think of how just about every disaster we've had in the financial system was a result of the humans with their hands on the economic knobs being knobs themselves. The solutions we provide when in crisis wouldn't be necessary if we didn't have such a strong tendency to drive ourselves off cliffs - not to mention that our current financial system has gotten so complicated I'm not sure there's anyone out there who truly, thoroughly, groks it without being reductive.
Well, he is so out of depth regarding engineering a car/rockets that the only thing he can possibly do is to hire some smart guys who work for him. He literally only has a single patent for tesla, a goddamn door handle. (Oh, also, they are feeding on government subsidies)

Twitter is a much different category where you “only” have to manage people, there is no one stopping his narcissistic personality from doing harm and here is the result. Why do you give him the benefit of doubt? It could have easily been a CEO-swap without any worry from the outside. But he posted controversial shit instantly, made up a ridiculously stupid paid-verification which removed the trust from accounts, fired plenty of its talent base wrongfully! having to rehire many of them at presumably insane costs, while also don’t forget about severance. He is just terribly incompetent at his job, if that is anything more than being an ATM machine.
Yeah, I had a Nokia E65 (2007) and with Opera mini I was able to browse the real web normally. That's why I never quite understood what was all the "revolution" around iphone (except the touch part, but that seemed to me to be a really bad idea at the time, as someone could not stand fingers on screens ^^)

I'm not sure javascript should be seen as a burden here.
No, people he hired did it. That’s like… all the difference.
I don't think this is a good idea. JS made some extremely useful improvements starting with ES6 (so, 2015).

> Europe desperately needs gas this winter

Yes, but consider this: There's ca. $2bn of LNG waiting on LNG tankers around Europe, with many more ships to come.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/11/6/dozens-of-ships-car...

Does not look all that desperate to me any more by this point. The price is higher than before of course, but that is much less of a problem than not having the gas. Besides, isn't that higher price exactly what is needed anyway with climate change looming? About twenty-five years ago the Greens in Germany wanted 5 DM (it was ca. 1.50 DM at the time) for a liter of gas for that reason.
